Grandpaw, that's a good one!

Beautiful!

Wow, that's really something. He looks like an art installation.

On this post you have seen a lot of technical information on why you should get this over that etc. To answer your specific question, I can tell you that I own a 70D and have had it since it was introduced. It may be 5 years old but regardless of the fact that there is new technology out there, the 70D is an excellent camera that produces great results. I don't have any plans to dump it anytime soon. If you've narrowed down your search to a 70D, I say "go for it". I don't think you'll be sorry.

Funny, I was just reading a book that said APS-C is better for landscapes due to increased depth of field at 1 stop lower than would be possible with an FF. Same source said FF is better for portraits. However, I can attest to the fact that I get excellent results on my APS-C (70D) for both when using the right lenses. Specifically for the person who started this post, I have a T3i which has proven to be an excellent camera - some of my best photos were shot with this camera and I do mainly portraits of one kind or another. I upgraded to the 70D which is also wonderful. This has now been replaced with the 80D so I have no reason not to believe it's even better. From your comments, I don't think you need go to the expense of an FF. If you do decide to move up, have you considered the Canon 6D Mk II?

Thanks for tuning in - I'm sorry you had a death in the family to contend with.

I always shoot in raw and process in Lightroom. Between us, my sister and I have great L lenses so I think we'll have it covered, thanks to the advice received on the Hog. I will post pics after the event (for critique of course).

Beautiful!

The B&W is wonderful.

Love it!

Really great street photography.

Try phoning Microsoft and getting them to take over the problem computer and reloading the software. They did it for me.

He's a handsome cat for sure. But why did they need to clip his ear signifying he's a male? Or is just so they'll know they already castrated this one?

Great shots of a beautiful place, Alex.

I've done that before as well - told the wedding party before they entered that I'd be gesturing for a stop a few steps into the aisle and it worked out fine.

Thanks BC. That's very helpful. I generally shoot in aperture priority as well but I'll give your system a try in the church. I don't usually have any issues with weddings (I only shoot family weddings). But this one includes a niece (bride) who has very precise ideas about how the wedding is going to proceed. A bit like a sergeant major! This includes having most of the photos done before the ceremony in the early afternoon, in wide open spaces overlooking a beach. I'm hoping the day will be somewhat overcast. My sister and I do have big reflectors and powerful flash equipment - and good Canon cameras/lenses. Besides the church venue and the open spaces, we have the bride's wedding group getting ready on one side of the Margaree River and groom's party on the other side - so there will be quite a bit of running around. I expect I'll be exhausted after this one! I'm looking forward to the next wedding in October which will be held in one venue in an old downtown building. The bride is open to an industrial-type streetscape background for some of the photos which should be fun. Thanks again.
