Yea, I guess it kinda get repetitive at this point. My lenses are the 28-105mm and 90-300. I just think a full frame camera will capture more unlike crop sensor, from what I've heard. Basically what I want is a great DSLR for the next 3 years, at least. Sorry for asking the same question every time, I just feel like upgrading to a much better camera, I've read stuff about full frame cameras, and I really like it. I've been looking for a really low price for the 5D Mark II but it's really difficult. Do you have any other suggestion for a great full frame dslr ?
In the Canon world, you have three choices.
5D Mark IV: Expensive, state-of-the-art camera with many features you'll probably never use. But if you want the best in class, this is it. In three years it will still be considered an excellent camera. Your current lenses will work, but don't begin to match the quality of the camera. So be ready to spend important money on lenses when you can't see much advantage over your current rig.
5D Mark III: The camera the Mark IV is replacing. It's going out of production, but can be had for about $2600 while they last. If you don't mind listening to Mark IV owners brag for the next several years about how much better their cameras are, the Mark III is a very good value. However, you'll likely be dissatisfied with your lenses soon enough. (See above.)
6D: Lacks many features of the 5D III and IV, but is cheaper and simpler to use. It's considered an entry-level (to the full-frame world) camera; and if you really start to advance as a photographer, you may be tired of it in three or four years. But by then there may be a 5D Mark V; and in any case, the 6D can be a fine backup camera. (Even here, though, your current lenses are mediocre and should eventually be replaced.)
So there it is. But it's really too early to take our word for what you should do; you've got to start doing some research on your own. Then come back to us with specific questions about whether this or that capability on whichever camera is worth the money or not.
And forget the 5D Mark II; it's just too far in the past. If you can't afford one of the above three, buy a lesser (APS-C) camera (or keep your current one) and start buying full-frame lenses in anticipation of an eventual upgrade.
