I want an upgrade

I’ve been doing photography since I was 14, now I’m 18 and would say I’m pretty good at it, or I’ve been told I’m good.

I’m currently using the Canon 100d - this was my first dslr and I’ve loved it..

But I want to make an upgrade, I want to get a professional dlsr like a 6D Mrk 2 or a canon camera with 24 or higher megapixels..

Do you recommend any under £1700

I also do video work so I’m also looking for something that suits photography and video

I think it is more telling from the OP's explanation that either:

 

He is assuming he doesn't need to be more specific to get the best advice

 

While he might be a good photographer, he may not be knowledgeable in the technical side and hence not appreciate the significance of the information we are missing.

 

Not knowing what lenses he has is a big challenging.  If he had EF lenses then all he has to worry about is the body, but if he wants to get a FF body and all he has is EF-S lenses then he has further budgetary constraints.  I would think that getting better (likely EF) lenses and keeping the body would be the best investment in that scenario.  Later he when he has more funds he could then go for a FF body, be it DSLR or MILC.

 

Either way, I wish him good luck in his purchases.

It really begs the question why Canon has ignored what seems like such a good FL for croppers.  ...


Yes! In fact, I still have my Sigma 50-150 f/2.8. It doesn't get used, because I now have two FF cameras and my wife prefers the lighter Canon 28-135 for her 7D2. But I got a lot of good use out of it, back in the day.

Hmmm . .? No reply from the OP yet. Did anybody click on that funny looking link at the end of his original post? Smiley Frustrated Something "phishy" here?
