Recommendation for camera upgrade?

Bradenkr

Hi evreyone! After shooting with my Rebel T3i for the last 4 years, I've decided it's time to upgrade. I am especially doing this because I now have a job photographing food, products, events, people, and various buildings in the city I work for. I do freelance as well, specifically for head shots and family photos. I want to upgrade past the rebel (I don't have a strong preference for Crop Sensor or Full Frame, but I'm leaning towards Full Frame) so I can take my photos to the next level. I just have no idea of where to start. There are SO many cameras and so many of them have the EXACT same ratings as another! If you have any suggestions, I would appreciate the help very much! Sorry for the novel! Thanks!

Er... You DO mean the 7DII?  That was launched in Sept 2014.  I have one, and great camera, but the 80D could arguably be considered newer tech.


cheers, TREVOR

The mark of good photographer is less what they hold in their hand, it's more what they hold in their head;

You need LR 6.1 or newer with ACR 9.1 installed.

 

"Can any one tell me if my M6 can be reprogrammed to shoot RAW as opposed to CRZ"

 

What is CRZ ?  Smiley Frustrated
