As an avid photographer with the 5d Mark 4 I can only tell you that it is an extremely versatile piece of equipment that will serve you well. As you are looking to undertake street photos it does take up a lot of hand space but so does the 6d. the 5dm4 will accommodate a wide variety of glass that you can use either in prime or zoom while choosing limited to a few pieces that will be many, many devices that you will choose along the way. I vote strongly for years to come.

The 5dmiv is a beast. But he about 2years ago and haven't look back. Stellar camera. Used for everything from wildlife to portraits to events to sporting events to macro. I'm telling you, this cam is a must.

I have the Canon 5D-MK IV as well as the EOS R. Both use the same 30.3 MP sensor and both are great cameras. The EOS R is lighter in weight and the lenses are lighter and more compact. I like the articulating rear screen. The controls are different from other cameras and there is a higher learning curve. The 5D IV is also a fantastic, feature-rich camera. Many agree that the 5D-IV is the perfect camera but I wish it had an articulating rear screen. The 5D control system is extensive and amazing. It is heavy compared to the EOS R. Keep in mind that Canon is beginning to discontinue the EF lenses that are compatible with their full frame DSLR cameras. The EF lenses can be used on the mirrorless products with adapters but the RF lenses for mirrorless cameras cannot be used with EF mount bodies. That is a signal that the canon full frame DSLR cameras will not be manufactured in the near future. For that reason I would advise investing in mirrorless models with the RF mounts to avoid future obsolescence. At present, the RF lens line is limited but Canon has announced numerous additions in te near future.

Why don't you rent each of these bodies and try them for yourself. That should tell you a lot about each body and the way you shoot. It might be worth a day of retinal fee.


Thanks for the idea. I have to rethink everything. Didn’t realize that 1/2 my lens’s are not compatible. Someone recommended the 90D which I am starting to look into.

EF will mount, EF-S (for APS-C; crop bodies) will not.

As I understand the Canon mounts, a crop sensor takes both EF and EF-S lens mounts. A full-frame sensor takes only the EF lens mount. If this answers your concern?


Yes thanks.

A camera with an EF-S mount can use either EF-S or EF lenses. A camera with an EF mount can use only EF lenses.


Got it, thanks

Some Canon designed lenses for APSC have a rear element that goes back into the body (mostly wide angles) that will physically interfere with the full frame mirror actuation....so Canon makes it mechanically impossible to mount any and all Canon APSC lenses on a full frame camera body..

Thanks , the more I look at it the more research I need to do.

Between the two, I would lean toward the 5DIV for it's more sophisticated AF system and higher resolution (30MP vs 26MP). The 6DII might be better for high ISO low light shooting, though maybe not by much.

However, define "nature photography". If you are talking about wide angle landscape shots and macro photography, a full frame camera like the 5DIV might be great. But if you mean wildlife.... especially smaller critters... you might be better sticking with one of the APS-C cameras... perhaps a 90D (which actually has higher resolution than 5DIV and an updated version of the 6DII's AF system).

Look at it this way.... for wildlife shots you take now with a 200mm, with full frame you'll need a 300mm. And for what you shoot now with 300mm, you'll need 500mm. Or if you have a 500mm now, you'll need an 800mm on the full frame camera. Look carefully at the sizes, weights and prices of the lenses you'll need! Unless you're planning to make prints larger than 16x20", you might want to stick with a crop sensor camera!

For street photography I wouldn't want either 5DIV or 6DII. In fact, for street (and some specialized candid portraiture) I recently bought a Canon M5 mirrorless camera (APS-C) and several compact lenses (12mm, 22mm, 56mm, 90mm). One of the lenses I expect to use most is a Canon EF-M 22mm f/2, which weighs under 1/4 lb. and is almost a "pancake" (I've fitted it with a 3rd party lens hood that nearly doubles it's size!). The entire kit of M5 and lenses weighs about the same as one of my 7DII and moderate size zooms. To me a "street" camera needs to be small and unobtrusive. I want to look like a tourist, not a pro. This can work well for candid portraiture, too.

If I really, really wanted full frame for street photography, I'd have to look at some of the most compact mirrorless such as Sony a7C, Sigma fp and (once I win the lottery) Leica M-10. I'd have to look into what compact lenses are available in each system though, before deciding. A Canon RP isn't quite as compact as those other cameras, but might serve well too, perhaps with RF 35mm f/1.8 and RF 85mm f/2 lenses.

Just note that any Canon EF-S lenses you have won't mount on either body, and other brand ones will vignette unless put in the APS-C mode which crops the image way down so less than 1/2 the pixels are used.

While many swear by full frame, I have no major complaints with my 80D. Going to a 90D would allow you to use all the lenses you have for the 7D. You haven't explained why you want to replace it. Of course, you save the most if you stay with the 7D

The spec for the 5D mark iv says lens mount EF. So I am confused why they would not mount on either camera

Having thought about this a bit and given your needs, it is one tough choice!
There are advantages to each. From pixel density to low light performance. Wildlife and street have very different demands. I think, given the direction you are going, and if cost is an issue, the 6D is the choice. If cost is not an issue, go with the 5. But you will be happy with the switch either way.
Do you like to post process or do you avoid it? that is another issue.


Thanks , post process is not an issue for me.
