...well, he funded the Z6 with the sale of his 800! Haha...I kept mine, bit on the Z6, and have no regrets! BTW, I just made a trestle to mount a body facing down through a scrim and found another glitch in our Z6; taking brackets. I won't get into a topic hijack, suffice that the D800 ended up on the apparatus!

Maybe you should consider the Canon R or RP with the adapter for all your EF lenses. You have to weigh the costs switching systems. How much do you already have invested in Canon lenses.

I have a 5DII, 5DIII & the R. I use the R almost exclusively now. I debated getting a 5DIV - actually happy I opted for the R.

The first question you should be asking yourself is WHY you want a full frame camera.

Full frame are good at some things. But APS-C cameras like your 60D are better at some other things. There's a ton of hype and a great deal of BS surrounding full frame that you have to plow through. Be sure to do a thorough job of it before you decide because simply changing formats has never made anyone a "better photographer"!

Second, why do you feel you need to change brands in order to "go full frame"?

Are you aware that the Canon 6D Mark II sells for EXACTLY THE SAME PRICE as the Nikon D750? Both are currently $1500. Their specs are very similar, too. The Canon has a slightly higher resolution 26MP sensor. Buying Canon instead might allow you to continue to use lenses and accessories you already have.... 6DII uses the same battery as 60D, for example.

Unless you need full frame to make really big prints (bigger than 16x20") or use really high ISOs a lot (25600 and up) AND are okay with bigger, heavier, more expensive full-frame-capable lenses....

My advice would be to take a close look at the Canon 80D (APS-C like your 60D). It would be a significant upgrade:

https://cameradecision.com/compare/Canon-EOS-80D-vs-Canon-EOS-60D
https://www.imaging-resource.com/cameras/canon/60d/vs/canon/80d/
https://www.apotelyt.com/compare-camera/canon-60d-vs-canon-80d

$1000 would get you a five year newer 80D that can use any and all lenses and accessories you already have. True... it's not full frame. But it's also better than full frame at some things and superior to the full frame models you're considering in some specifications. Depending upon what you shoot and what you do with your images, the 80D might actually be a better choice for you than ANY full frame camera.

D750 and 6D Mark II are fine cameras.... Full frame has some advantages. But it also has some disadvantages. The vast majority of users are actually better off with APS-C cameras... which give them greater choice of lenses, lighter/smaller lenses, "more powerful" telephotos, lower cost lenses and more.

Switching brands is always expensive. Switching brands AND changing formats at the same time will be doubly expensive. And Nikon lenses and accessories... on the whole... tend to be more expensive than Canon. Compare their respective 70-200mm lenses, for example. Canon offers four models ranging from $600 to $2100. Nikon offers two that cost $1400 and $2700.

Do what you like and what makes you happy. Just do it with eyes wide open, realistic expectations and only after considering all the actual costs now and in the future.

The discussion here is going to be lively and fun but I'd say enjoy and forget that and go for it. It's a good camera and lens combination and apparently in your price range. I recently went from a crop frame Nikon d7100 to a full frame Sony a7iii w/ the FE4/24-105 G lens. I'm the same age as you. Yes, it's a big learning curve to switch--so what, that's half the fun. Yes, the quality of the pictures is better and the low light performance is way better--I suspect you'll find that too. I'm having fun learning it although a fair amount of frustration goes along with it. However I had a learning curve when I went from a super-zoom to DSLR and I got over that--I'm sure I'll become comfortable with this one and enjoy it even more. Oh, I still have a place to sleep and can buy food so it didn't break the bank even though it was expensive.

I have two D7200's and love them. However, I just added the D750 (as I have all full frame lenses anyway) when it was reduced about $700 off recently. I love the low light quality it renders. The trick is to frame the in the camera retaining all the pixels rather than post cropping. I found that the 200-500 on the D750 allows me another f-stop over the D7200. My maximum ISO I can tolerate is now 6400.

Do not own own the 750, but did consider moving from Canon for one a couple of years ago, but stopped due to several recalls with shutter problems. I went to a 6D as an option. Very pleased with it and did not have to purchase new lenses (yet). lol Not as feature rich as the 750, but I felt it more reliable. That said, every brand and model has trade-offs. Its all about how your use fits the product. Good hunting.

I'm 84 and just bought the Nikon D850 and 200-500mm and 70-300mm Nikon glass. I already had the 24-120 Nikon. Enjoy!
Go for the gold.

72 is not old by today's standards. You could live to 92 or beyond! Buy whatever will make you happy.

To start off, I ma a professional photographer and a Nikon user for over 40 years, I do not believer in "Refurb" cameras or lens because I know a number of people who had problems with refurb equipment. With that out of the way. Have you compared Nikon and Canon. Here is what I found at B&H.

Canon 6D II 26.2MP Body only - $1500.
W/24-105 f3.5-5.6 - $1900.
W/24-105 f4L II - $2400.

Nikon D750 24.3MP Body only - $1500
W/24-120 f4G - $2000.

If you been with Canon, you may want to stay with them just because you are more familiar with their camera systems. Nikon systems are much different, and my confuse you.

Good luck on what every you purchase.

have you priced out the 6D MKII

dsmeltz Loc: Philadelphia

What is your budget. There are plenty of FF options available in the canon system. What lenses do you already have? Switching systems is expensive, if you even have only a few lenses. What do you photograph? (Sports, landscapes, events, children,.....)

I’m 76 and started with 80D canon just moved up to 5D Mark iv ,I like canon because you can pick up their lens second hand easily.You can use their ef lens on your crop camera ,crop 1.6 x is great for wildlife with that added extension.You will have two cameras for for the price of one.Good luck ,great hobby.

Since you already are familiar with Canon...it is doesn't make much sense to switch brands, you can still get Canon refurbished full-frame cameras at a good price.

The Canon RP body is $100 less and comes with an adaptor for your EF lenses.
