Hey folks.
So, I'm in the market to upgrade from a Canon 7D to something newer. I think the Canon R6 is the route i'm going to take. My budget is around £2.5k
Question: Is there any reason why I should consider the 1Dx Mark 2 (used) over the R6 (New)?
From a pricing point I can get the R6 new for the same price of the 1dx2 which would have at least 50k shutter actuations and likely body/cosmetic blemishes.
I have bias towards the 1dx as I like the look of it and it's all I have read about for years is 1d series offering the best performance and image quality etc...
Further context: I'm typically shooting grassroots football, under the worst floodlight's you could buy in the 1970's - That's not going to change. So i'm looking for a strong low light performer.
Output will be social media and perhaps the occasional print should a player retire and replace the outgoing club secretary Lenses are the 70-200mm 2.8 ii and an aging 400mm 5.6 l - I will from time to time be shooting other sports as the opportunities arise etc.
Thoughts? - On Paper the R6 is no brainer, but it looks to good to be true for real world usage. Also I'm not seeing used at the sporting events on TV yet. - New hobbies is spotting the tog on TV and trying to see what they are shooting with.
Thanks
