I am wanting to upgrade from my canon 50d. I am looking at the new 6d and 70d. any suggestions?

I shoot a lot of sports and in low lighting or where flash is not premitted. I also am not sure about a full fram lens. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your reply....I am sure the 6d is not going to fit my need. Which camera will be more comparable to what I am use to..possibly the new 70d

Yes, or a 7D.  The 7D is in a higher “class” than the 70D, but the 7D is a bit old, and the 70D is brand new, so the prices are in the same range.  I’m not a test chart guy, so maybe someone can weigh in, but from what I saw the image quality of the two are fairly close.  The 7D comes in a more robust case with a longer shutter life, but the 70D matches or surpasses on just about everything else.  The 70D also has a lot more ‘features’, some useful, some not so much.  But you can get a 7D used for pretty cheap, and it’s a tried and true camera.

Unless your budget absolutely won't allow it, take a close look at the 5D3 - perfect for action sports. Because of the greatly improved processor, even the kit 24-105L f/4 will produce great IQ at ISO's up to 12800 or above. Thus indoor lighting and faster shutter speeds become less of a factor.

I went from a 50D to the 5D2, then to the 5D3 and have never looked back.

Good luck!

You have a Canon 50D and a Tamrom lens? Which Tamron do you have?
