Currently I have a Canon 70D which I am sort of happy with, but I feel I am making a compromise on things I am bothered about with things I don't really care about. I've got dual pixel AF for constant AF during video recording (I've recorded 2 videos with it), it's got Wifi remote shooting (I used it once when I first got the camera), I can pull images off the camera using wifi (it's slow and battery consuming in practise) and I would rather sacrifice some of these features for better image quality and low light handling.
I initially switched to the 70D from a 550D as the AF was hopeless, I still want to do some motorsport photography so I still want something that can track objects accurately, and I don't feel the 6D will be up to this task (although I will happily be convinced otherwise). I have been tempted away from Canon by the fact I can get a D610 with the Nikkor 24-70 f2.8 lens for £2100 whereas a 6D and Canon 24-70 f2.8 would be £500 more.
I currently have a 70D, EF-S 17-55 f2.8 and Sigma 35 f1.4 that can be sold to fund this, so the 'upgrade' will cost me a few hundred. I will of course try one to make sure I am happy with the handling of the camera, I'm just not sure what direction to go.
Is it worth it or would I be on a hiding to nothing?
