I know this question is never ending but am asking for input anyway.
Current camera T3i. Planning to purchase new camera and need advice.
I take tons of photos of kids at school, family, sports (not professional) and landscapes. In other words, pretty much everything. These are the lenses available for use: Canon 50mm f1.2, Canon 24-70 f2.8, Canon 70-200 f2.8. Cameras I am looking at (all Canon's): 6Ti, 6Ts, 70d, 7dmarkII.
A FF camera isn't in the budget at this time (spent the money on lenses). PP programs, PSCS5, Elements 13, Lightroom 4.4. I have looked at all the comparison sites that have been listed before and still can't make a decision. All considered which camera would you suggest?
Sorry to keep beating the subject to death but when it is personal we all want to hear the answers again!!!!

Be prepared to defend your decision to buy new gear. There are naysayers out there who are worried about your finances.

Within the Canon realm, you might also consider the T5i - it has received highly enthusiastic reviews.

I guess my concern is the learning curve moving from a APS-C to a FF. Any thoughts on that?

Why not the full frame 6D? It's less expensive than the 7D MkII.

Not really, it's just that you will get to use the whole lens on all those full frame lenses you already own, PLUS get MUCH better performance out of them indoors and in low light than any crop sensor camera can give you.

Hello Mc
I say go with 7D mkll it is the best on the market of Canon's APS-C cameras. Its got a real learning curve so read the operating guide over and over till you understand it you won't be disappointed in the long run I went from film to digital and purchased a 7D ver:1 it is a wonderful camera I'll keep it until I wear it out. The 5dll is a FF camera which is a wonderful camera too maybe when Canon comes out a MKIV I'll trade up it for there's nothing better than using a full frame Canon camera.

I will look at the 6D. Had not really considered it because I thought it would cost considerable more than an APS-C camera.

Face it for most more expensive gear will not get better pictures. Special lenses are needed for macro, birding, etc. But just getting what you need is no fun. Get the gear you dream about if you can afford it. You just wont be happy if you don't. Did you ever take a picture with that f/1.2 lens that you could not have taken with an f1/8? But the f/1.2 is sure fun to have. I have a crop frame camera and my 70-200 is a f/4 and does the job. But if I had the cash I would be driving a Morgan +4 and have a Nikon Df on the seat next to me. - Dave

An FYI, Canon has refurbished 7DII model for $1,099 right now. My Dad just got his today. B&H has the 7DII and the full frame 6D each listed at $1,399.

Since if you already have some FF glass, that's more than half the battle of going FF. Having both APS-C and FF gives you far more versatility in general. I would not want to give up either my crop or FF cameras but, if I did have to, I would keep the FF.
I suggest not ruling completely out a FF body, even if you need to wait a bit.
