So the 6D Mark 2 has had a somewhat frosty reception since it's launch last summer, with some review alluding to the fact that it was a lot of money with other cheaper rivals doing as good a job, if not better.
Fast forward some 18 months, and with grey units available for c.£900 now (possibly due to the bad press?!) or £1k with a 3 year warranty - is the 6dmkii now in a completely different realm in terms of similarly priced competitors to when it was released at full price and, actually, a great camera body for under a grand? It seems to me that the reviews seemed to review it as a £2000 camera when it is now half that effectively!
I have been shooting with a 70D for a couple of years (mainly landscapes) but am interested in upgrading; in fact, one of the most disappointing things should I upgrade would be that I couldn't keep my 10-18mm EF-S lens - would the 17-40mm f/4L be a step up from this, or should I really be considering the 16-35mm.
Of course, I have been tempted to sell all the Canon gear and go with a Sony such as the A7ii however I am reluctant due to the other lenses/flash units etc I have.
Cheers all
