My next camera

[idanidan123]

So I've been using my 1100D since February 2015, and now I'm looking for my next DSLR. I only use Manual Mode, so is there a camera similar to the 5D Mark III, but at a much lower price ?

Any suggestions will be helpful 🙂

OK, thank you. If there are any more suggestions for my next camera, feel free to let me know

Let's see, you do landscapes and you use manual mode mostly.  And you have plenty of money!  Pentax 645Z Medium Format DSLR Camera if ever I saw a perfect marriage this is it.

One more question- Would you consider the 70D a suitable camera for me ? How's it compare to the 6D ?

It doesn't, really. Apples vs oranges. The 6D is a full-frame camera; the 70D is not. Both are good cameras, but neither is of professional quality.

The 50D was a fine camera in its day but is long out of production and somewhat primitive by today's standards. I have one and have gotten many good pictures with it, but I rarely use it now. The only reason I can think of for you to buy one would be as a spare that you wouldn't be afraid to take to the beach.

Good and bad: Unlike its successor, the 60D, the 50D has autofocus microadjustment. But it lacks an IR sensor, a nice feature that facilitates remote shooting.

Is there another camera, similar to the 6D but more affordable ?
I know I said money isn't really the issue here, but still. Any suggestions will be helpful !

Similar to the 6D, as in full frame sensor?  No, not unless you start exploring the used market, which is always risky.  The EOS 6D is the least expensive full frame DSLR body that Canon offers. 

It is not a bad deal for the asking price in the Refurbished Store.  You're not going to get much better than the current sale price for a 6D with a full one year warranty.

You will have to decide what your priorities are, performance or price.

The full-frame sensor is not a must for me. I'm currently thinking about getting the 7D, I just saw a review by DigitalRevTV and now I'm considering it. I'm just looking for a solid upgrade over my 1100D, but don't wanna spend too much money.

If that'a the case, then you're not ready for an upgrade.  Spend your money on a new lens.  A new lens can make an even bigger difference in picture quality than a slightly more expensive Rebel.

What lenses do you currently own?  What do you like to shoot?  What is your favorite range of focal lengths, or zoom lens?

I own the 25-105 mm, and the 90-300mm.
I shoot landscapes.
I own my camera for more than a year, and I really feel like upgrading to a much more professional camera.
