Canon 7d or Canon 6d?? I am mainly shooting my 4 little kids indoor and outdoors. Updated 2/13: Thank you all for your advice. I did end up getting a 6d and am very happy with it. Although the AF on the 7d is faster I found the 6d to be awesome in low...

I own (and love) both of these cameras, but the 6D is my new favorite for the grandchildren. It is quieter and you will never need a flash. The high ISO means you can use a faster shutter indoors -- fewer blurry kids.

Scooter,The 6D is more than fine. The 5D3 is a professional's camera and it may be overkill.On a broader note, why do you think you need full frame?

I own and use both the 7D and 1D Mark IV in addition to the 5D II. Clearly the Mark IV is superiorin low light to the 7D. If you don't mind the extra weight and expense of the Mark IV, you shouldbuy the Mark IV. My only reservation is that I cannot use my circular fisheye lens to full effect withthe Mark IV because it is not full frame.

I have had my Df for only a short time (about 30 days) and have only been able to shoot a limited number of photos. I haven't used live view, nor do I know if it is available on the Df. I'm still learning of all the features. Autofocus is very fast... image quality is excellent. I also own a D7000.

It depends on what you are more interested in. If you want to focus more on video then go for the sony Nex-VG10 because it has autofocus while filming and The 7D does not But if you want to focus more on photography more then the 7D because it has 18 megapixels as opposed to the sony's 14. However they are still both amazing at photography and videography.

Thank you. I bought the 2sx230 on 11/11/11 and I noticed outside in the bright sun light it captures movement well well and pretty sharp. Inside not so well. I want very much to learn how to use the ISO and how to make great photos using the manual functions. I bought the canon for its size, I will be traveling which is why I wanted a small camera. The shutter speed seemed to be the fastest. Thanks again these comments are very helpful, I'm really looking forward to getting to know my new camera.

I have the 50mm f1.8 and love everything about it. My only problem is the focusing speed. I don't mind spending $340 for the 1.4 but I read alot of people had problem with it and have to send it in for repair. This made me very nervous. Anybody familiar with this problem? One more thing, if you want to choose between the 50mm or 85mm, check the crop on your camera first. Ex. T3i have a 1.6 vs 5D have a 1.0 meaning a 50mm on a T3i is equal to a 80mm on a 5D.

Hi, 7D has faster rate of focusing but 6d has better low light performance. I'll say 7D as it focus more on sports and animals shooting users : ) hope that help

J. Perez -- There is a lot of fanboyism going on at the beginning of this thread... and it's passed off as fact to be worse. If you're looking at these two cameras consider your needs. You already have nice canon glass so you may be better served going with the 5d II. What do you shoot? If it's sports I would definitely say lean to the D700 or look at the 7d (or 1d III as you mentioned). I personally think the 5D II has the best IQ of the bunch, but that is an opinion. Really, the two cameras mentioned here are a different beast. It's like comparing mac laptops to windows desktops. First decide if you use your camera more for sports or portraits then decide if you want the canon or nikon.

I don't own a 7D but I can tell you the low light performance is excellent. I am surprised how many times I can get away without a flash.

I think you are going to be happy with the 6d. If you can afford the 5d, indulge!! You are going to get a much better focusing system, a better build and a faster camera overall. This is assuming you don't need the wifi nor the GPS system. I love how fast the focusing system works on the 5d. It responds very well in dim light, is blazing fast and very accurate. This I believe is the main difference with the 6d

J. ONeill says: Did you make a decision? I am currently debating the same two lenses. I am leaning towards the Canon since it seems there are quite a few quality/AF issues with the Sigma. Any advice is appreciated. If you own a camera with micro focus adjustment like the 50D or 7D, Sigmas front or back focusing is a non-issue. Also, even if you don't own a camera with micro focus adjustment, if you get a Sigma lens that front or back focuses, you can send it to Sigma for calibration.

Did any of you read this review? http://www.digitalreview.ca/content/Nikon-D5000-D90-Compared-to-Canon-Rebel-T1i-500D.shtmlD5000 seems to be an easy pick. I am now tossing my coin between D90 and D5000.

I have D40, it works great, except for AF, since it lack internal motor. Manual focus is a snap, even at 300mm / F5.6. Maybe even faster than AF-S for $350 less... Use Tripod/Monopod when Tele, since no VR. Overall, its an excellent buy.

If you are looking to update and stick with the a-mount system, the A99 is the way to go. I have both and the full frame sensor on the A99 along with the added features and better low light performance makes it my go to camera. The only thing the a A77 is better at is speed, Fps. Your other option is to go mirrorless like the A7 series and use an adapter like the LEA4 to use your A - mount glass. It's an amazing camera for the money I have the A7. The only negative is the lack of in-body stabilization which is remedied by the A7 mk 2 that just came out.

That is what I needed to hear! I have the Canon EOS 7D and love it, But...as you said by the time you carry around all the gear for "sight seeing", I'm exhausted. I too am looking for that mid level (super zoom) companion to go along with my Canon when called of. I was a little hesitant to go with a Panasonic but everything I have read about this camera has been positive.I have yet to actually find a store who has one on display, looks like I will have to order it blindly and pray!
