I'm sorry but he CAN use his current lenses with the R5. He just needs to buy the adapter for them. That's what Im doing and very happily so.
That is a foreign concept to Nikon users.

If you like the 6D, then step up to the 6DII. It is the 6D but even better, up to 26 megapixels and other improvements. I also had the 6D, loved it, but eventually got the 6DII which is great.

yeah but if he's sticking with DSLRs I'd step further up with the 5DIV. The prices have to be getting better and better. Especially used.

Hello Hogs: br br I have a Canon 6D that I bought... (show quote)
There is only one Canon that fits your needs, the 6D Mk II. Other models offer features useful in motion photography that you do not want. "Stepping up" can only mean motion and tracking of birds and animals can get very expensive. The 5 series also gets complicated tracking that adds $$$. The 6D II is a re-build of a very good still-life camera. It scratches the itches you said you had, especially GAS! A wild card for you might be an ancient 5D Mk II. A basic F/F, still-life body that wouldn't cost much and is capable of producing very high quality images. Wedding photogs used this body widely. I make garden shots with mine. They can still be found used at most major dealers.

If you are sticking with Canon...stay in the DSLR realm...you are better off.
Why?
It is not like Nikon is.
ALL the Canon DSLR and EOS film lenses are fully compatible with the R cameras.
And actually work better with more features if you get the Control Ring Adapter with the Canon mirrorless cameras.

Sorry, my bad. I have the 60D and from a quick scan of your post, I made the assumption that was the body you were refering to. Anyways, what is the 6D not doing performance wise that makes you want to upgrade?? Check the actual shutter count against the predicted count. You might be suprised to see how much life is still left in it. Sounds like GAS for sure and so your looking here for support to justify buying a new toy to play with. Have a great day!!!

No one has mentioned an r6 as of yet. Or an r6 II . Might get a deal on a used r6 as Canon just came out with the r6 II. I’m pleased with mine.

[quote=robertjerl]And if your GAS is a terminal case just get a 6DII, keep the one you have for a backup.
"But be careful, GAS can become long term and add up to a lot of $$$$$."
Indeed. I have the same Canon body that I started with (actually two of them) but my lens collection has grown. I couldn't tell you how many I have without counting them. Certainly over a dozen, most of which live happily in a drawer in my home office, gathering dust. I have a normal lens on one camera and a zoom on the other (usually a 70-300). I'm approaching 92 and my photographic needs have slowed down some, haven't bought a lens in a while. I doubt that I will ever buy another body until they come out with one that walks beside me (or maybe carries me) and that I can control with my mind. :-) Harry PS And iirc, one Nikon that I've never used. When I shot film, I had a Nikon but for some reason that is lost in the mist of time, I switched to Canon when I went digital.

"You already have a perfect 20MP pro-grade DSLR. You're wasting your money lusting for a new camera for your expressed shooting needs and fine selection of lenses."
I agree 100% with this. If your present camera and lenses are performing to your satisfaction control that GAS.

That EOS 6D will last easily another 5-years, probably 10. I don't know how I can put it more clearly: there is nothing inferior about this camera nor needing to be changed.

Canon R5 (higher price) or Canon RP if on a tighter budget.

When a good used RP dips below $600 I think I will likely get one. No rumor of an RPmk2 yet so it may be quite a ways off.
