I have been thinking about going full frame for a while, I currently have the 7D2 which I'm using for a little aviation and almost weekly landscape work, when I initially purchased it, landscape photography wasn't on my radar, I have been looking forward to the 5D4 and migrating to a full frame, as im a hobbyist at best, im now torn between stumping up the cash for the 5D4 or waiting out for 6D2 assuming there will be one. The price has left me feeling a little disappointed. What would you guys recommend? holding out for a 6D2 or moving to the 5D4 when the prices drop a little towards the New Year?

As someone who has owned a 7d2, 6d and 5d3 I would recommend you keep the 7d2 for aviation and add a used 6d for landscape.
You have the backup of a second body, the option to keep different lenses on them and different settings dialled into them as well. The button placement is a bit different on a 6d but you do get used to it.
If you can only afford one camera, though i doubt there is much in it, personally I would prefer the 5d3 I love mine.
However there is an argument that the 7d2 is slightly better for aviation and it is actually a good landscape camera off a tripod low Iso, nice clean shadows, sharp files but the highlights aren't quite as smooth or as nice in colour as the full frame. The argument is to spend the difference on lenses is what I'm getting to!
Any less confused now Geoff?
Just buy a 5d4 and let us know how good it is...
