Camera: Canon 7D Mark II, Canon 70D, Rebel SL1
Lenses: 24mm 2.8, 40mm 2.8, 10-18mm, 50mm 1.8, 55-250mm
I been doing street, small event photography for friends/family, and portraits for about 3 years.

On another note, considering cashing out all my Canon gear, and using my tax return to switch to Sony (Finally gonna move up to FF, thinking either the A7II or A7RII, keep in mind I dont really care for video.....may even consider the first A7 seeing as they are going cheap, and ill have to reinvest in glass)

Anyone make the switch? if so would like to hear your take....


I was thinking about getting another Canon which one would you recommend?

So the camera I have is Canon T5i with 18-55mm IS STM and 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II

Can't post my sample photos. :francis:

@shutterguy thanks again breh. Definitely looking into getting that Canon 17mm-55mm f/2.8 for my camera. Saw a photo some guy took of aurora borealis with this lens and I was like :wow: I got to get this lens.

What lenses did you have before?

I have Canon lenses for my Sony A7II... 17-40L, Tamron 24-70 2.8, Tamron 70-300 and the Canon 40 2.8

I would probably start with the 24-70 and the 40.... good do it all glass. That 17-40 gets so wide tho :steviej:. Im actually waiting to see if they drop the 6D2 next year... the Sony is cool but it has some quirks I don't like

No problem breh, it's a great lens. Only issues I had was the focusing motor failed (sent it to Canon for repair), the coating on the front lens started to wear in 2 small spots, you would never notice in pics.

Why can't you post your samples?

SINY!!

Depends on what you already own and what your budget is.

If your gonna stick with a crop sensor, Id say a 70D/80D (great all-around, still & video) or a 7D Mark II if you shoot fast moving subjects/sports. If your looking to go full-frame Canon-wise......the 6D is solid if your on a budget. If money isnt an issue any 5D Mark II & up.
