I have had both Canon and Nikon, but currently have a simple Canon T3i, which I purchased when I needed a quick 2nd camera for shooting a wedding. My main squeeze was an original 5D. I'm thinking about upgrading to a higher level Canon. Which would you buy and why? (I'm not interested in switching back to Nikon. I have 5 Canon lenses that I like.)

I'm very happy with a Cannon 77D, which came out less than a year ago.

I am sure if affordability is not a problem either a new or refurbished 5D mark iv would keep you photographing for many years to come.

Are you looking cropped or full frame? Your 5 Canon lenses will help define this decision. The best choice might be the 80D for general purposes. Full frame opens a variety of choices from the highest end 5DIV to either version of the 6D or even the older 5DII or 5DIII models. A used 5DIII in the $1500 range is a lot of camera and is very competitive against the new performance of the 6DII. The 5DII is an excellent camera now in the $800 range used if you shop around.

I'm waiting for the 90D to be released.

How are you planning on using the camera? What specifically will you be shooting?

If your Canon Lenses are for the T3i I would suggest you step up to the Canon T6i.

Since you have a 5D why not go with a 5DIV?

17-35, 28-135, 70-300, 100Macro, 150-600, 1.6Teleconverter. I've done thousands of landscape, thousands of portraits, macros, wildlife, weddings, organizational groups. The full frame 5D is my workhorse and all the lenses are for that. I only purchased a T3i when I needed a second something quickly to help me with a shoot.

Some great responses on this OP! I have a T5i and an 80D and am happy with both.
