I upgraded from the 70D to the 6D in March and I haven't looked back once. The 70D is an excellent camera and it does do a few things better then the 6D but I can easily do without those things for my type of shooting. I wouldn't go back. Good glass is important but I don't think either one is that much more important then the other. You need good glass for good photos but you need a good camera to get the most out of your glass. For the most part each model camera gets updated every few years leading many people to say that glass is forever but bodies come and go. The fact is, the same thing happens with lenses, just not as quickly. Look at Canon's EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS. It has been around for quite awhile and has had a generally good reputation, but now people are starting to turn their noses up at it because there are better lenses to be had, often for less money. Nothing lasts forever. Whatever you decide to buy, buy the best you can afford. It's the cheapest way to go.

What lenses do you currently have? Are they compatible with a full frame camera. Many that are designed with an APS-c format in mind may not perform optimally on a full frame. If you do opt for a new lens, pay attention to assure it will be compatible if you do get a larger format in the future.
Very good point and no, I didn't think about the compatiblity part. Up till now, all my canon lenses were interchangable (EOS20 and the 60D). Thanks for the heads-up, so if I do, I will definitely see that they compatible.
Thank you Sir
:-) :-)
I have two cameras. Both are Canons; An EOS20 and a 60D. I want to purchase a newer and faster lens. But I am also interested in moving up to a full frame camera, i.e. Canon 6d, (only dreaming about the Canon EOS 5d Mark III)
I've read the posting here on new camera vs new len and the majority seem to agree on the lens and so do I. But what it you want to move up to a full frame camera? Is the newer len still a better move?
Thank you in advance for your replies. :thumbup:
Thank you Nic. Looking forward to meeting and learning alot.
Thank you for the welcome and thank you for the information on posting.

You can enter your location if you go back to your profile. That way, when people offer answers, they can tie them in to your location.
The Search feature is only as good as the titles people use. "Help" is not going to anyone any good in a Search. "Canon 7D..." would be a good title for a search. Basically, using Search is hit or miss. You can click on "Advanced options" and then check the box on the right to have them listed with the most recent first.
You're better off posting your specific question and title.

Hello; I am new to the forum. I consider myself a good photogrpaher. Not a professional by any means, but I have been into photography off and on for the last 20 years mostly as a well loved hobby. Made the transition to digital about 10 years ago. My cameras are the CanonEOS20 and the Canon60D. Lense that I own: EFS18-55(F/3.5-5.6) EFS-17-55(f/2.8 IS USM),EF 50mm (f/1.8),. EF 75-300(f/4.5-6)IS; 18-135 and a Tokina11-16(f/2.8) My flash units are; a Canon 430ex and a Yongnuo Speedlite.
Hoping to learn from the seasoned photographers. I am 2 years into retirement so I have plenty of time.
One question I have before I start posting questions is; Is there away to search for concerns/conversations before posting as to not duplicate something that has already been asked?
