I did a fair bit of reading on this yesterday, as I faced a similar dilemma, general consensus is that the Mkii is better, main feedback seems to be its sharper in the corners. I had the original mk1 version years ago, it was still a great lens, but the hiring suggestion is a good one, compare...

Thanks everyone for their input, as predicted I’ve gone over budget already :oops: :$ Decided on a Canon 6D Mk II - found one newly listed on eBay this morning with a tiny shutter count in mint condition for a reasonable price and pulled the trigger. Now onto some lens shopping! Main reason...

Thanks everyone for their input and apologies for somehow starting some beef :oops: :$ I’m probably just as, if not more confused now. The link posted above by @Sangoma to compare cameras is interesting, although not perfect, it shows there’s really not an awful lot in it, that said, the...

Thanks for the input so far everyone, I feel like a right old grandad, having been away and the technology moving on so much (just checked, it was over 8 years ago since I was active with a camera!) I need to do my homework on what the equivalent lenses are now (I.e. what's the mirrorless...

The original page has now re-appeared?! http://www.facebook.com/digitaldepotuk Thanks for those that added the new page, it'd be great if you could do the same to the original one! :)
