Welcome to UHH. Simple answer, unless you are doing this for a living or desire to spend a lot of money I would go for the 60D. This camera is excellent for landscapes, has excellent image quality and all round performance. I own it and love it but check kenrockwell.com for an excellent site to get reviews. Good luck. George

The 60D is still a crop frame. I think you meant the 6D.

I agree with your comments about the 28-135 being a good lens. I have had a number of them and have one now. Not quite the 24-105L/4 quality but very good.

Want a good advice? Sell all your canon system and go to Sony A7R mk2, you will happy as I am.

Hi - Of course the 5DIII is a great camera BUT the 80D has so many fun features!! -- But I have done this.... got an itch for full frame, thinking it would improve my photos.... guess what?? It did not - infact my 6D photos were terrible because everything I shoot is moving. So I sold it on ebay. So look at the features you will be losing in your 80D: flip out screen, flash, better video, touch screen, small size, more frames per second, ..etc... and see if that is worth it to you for what you shoot. Personally I would not want to lug around a FLASH, I want more FPS, I want lighter, I want touch screen - I would KEEP IT and use your GAS attack (gear acquisition syndrome) for a fun new lens.
If you add a one of canon's 2.8 (24-70 2.8 or 70-200 2.8, or even sigma's 24-70 2.8) - you will get FANTASTIC photos!! And you won't need the FF

Thank you for sharing this link! It offered info to some of my own questions.

OP, when I purchased my full frame camera I sold my crop - I have really regretted that decision. There have been many occasions that I wish I still had it.

Sorry about that. I meant to say 6D which I own as well as 60D.

Hi Guys: I have a question for you. I have a Canon 80D, EFS 10-18, and a EFS 18-135, EF 50mm 1.4 and a L series 100-400. I was thinking about getting a full frame camera also, possibly a Canon EOS 5D Markiii. I already have a couple of lenses that would run with the camera and I would also look at a walk around EF 24-105. So guess my question is should I keep my current camera and add a full frame or sell 80D and just go with the 5Dmarkiii? Thanks Fred

I'd go with adding a camera and keeping the APS-C (CF) 80D too. I have many friends with Canon 5D / 5D Mark II / 5D Mark III cameras and no complaints. And as someone else noted, waiting for a new (5D Mark IV) camera to ship might save you a few dollars. Canon FACTORY refurbished cameras can be a good buy as well. A pro I know always buys used or refurbished Canon equipment -- she says she can't afford what she needs new.

Since I began to use digital I have been using cropped sensor bodies and the majority of my lenses fit those bodies. I decided to try full frame and I went with the Nikon D610 which is a very good camera but I did not sell my old D7000 which is my favorite for sports and wildlife photography. I still have old AIS lenses that I use with the full frame. Indeed I have not made any investment in new lenses for the full frame body.
What I do recommend if you finally decide to buy the full frame body is that you go with lenses made for full frame cameras and your choice of the EF 24-105 L lens is a very good one.

My take. Keep the 80d and EF-S lenses if at all possible. I have a 5d III with 6 EF L lenses and a 70 d with 2 EFS lenses. I find myself using the 70d and the 18-135 or 70-200L much of the time for nature photography, partly for the vari-angle screen on low shots; I could not live without that feature, and of course the built in flash. Low light demands the use of the 5d. Fairly often , I'll carry both the 5d with 24-105L and the 70d with the 100-400 mkII, and I'm closing in fast on my 80th year. Good luck on YOUR choice, but I know what I'd do.

Keep them both. I that with my Nikon D7100 (DC) when I bought my D 810. I use them both all the time as each has specific strengths.

60D is two steps backward from 80D
