I have the 6D Mark II looking for a different camera to use for high school sports I was showing you what. I found and can afford to buy and asking if someone else is using one of these cameras and how did they like it.
I went on line and went to the sensor Comparison Photography Type Scores I COPY AND PASTE them to put on here to show what I found that is why you see ( %. )

I am confused. You have the 6D Mark II. What camera are you looking to buy? Why all the stats on the 6D Mark II ? Help me understand please.

And what was wrong with the replies you got to the same question.?

I'm confused. I you want a sports camera look for 10fps or faster and something that will handle noise. Put a 70-200 2.8 on it and you are good to go.

Not sure what's being asked, but what's "Daily Photography"?

If sports is your main concern then the frames per second (fps) is one specification you would be looking at. If the data I've seen is correct, the 6Dii can do 6.5 fps whereas the 5Div can do 7 (both cameras are capable of AF tracking). The advantage that the 5D has is marginal to say the least.

The conclusion I came to is that the 6Dii is a very good all-round camera and the 5Div has only a very slight advantage for doing sports, so why not stick with the 6D?

Suit yourself! You making buying decision by polling others. That's great! That would keep you in agreement with more people.

Those percentage scores are pretty useless and only show marginal differences. Without knowing what criteria they used to get to those scores they don’t mean anything. If I were you I would figure out what if anything is lacking in your 6D for your type of shooting and check our cameras with improvements in those areas. Is it burst rate? Speed and accuracy of focus? The easy route is just sell all your Canon gear and get a Nikon D500. It’s a great sports camera. 😜🤪

How would one know they're not a successful photographer without having tried the best equipment?

You have an investment in Cannon glass, which seems to indicate that should be the brand you stay with. Every sport you photograph can require something different. I trained the Army Judo Team at West Point. While I was in a stationary position, how far away that was could and lighting could vary with the venue. Often I would be on one end of the competitive area while cadets engaged in simultaneous matches from 10 feet to the length of a football field away This means high speed, and a lens that could go from 28 to 300 or more. I use Sony Alpha a77 II DSLR Camera in part because I already own the glass. It also gives me continuous shooting up to 12 fps for up to 26 RAW frames. Clear Image Zoom can be used to magnify the center of scenes by 2x to effectively extend the reach of any focal length lens. The camera seems to focus well in low light, It also weighs less then my Nikon and Cannon cameras. For my situation it is ideal

How would one know which equipment is best?

When you photograph a face, make sure the brand logo is reflected in their eyes.
