Hello, i'm going to start a bit of a long thread. But i have always shot with canon starting with 30d, 40d, and now a 70d. All my lenses are for cropped sensor (apart one which will be the last point of this thread). Now i've been slightly disappointed by the 70d, i was expecting a bit more from it. Specially when it comes to high iso, it's better that the 40d but i really wasn't blown away by it. I'm mainly interested in still photography, video is not important. Wifi is not important. GPS is not important. Recently i've been thinking in selling it all and moving to full frame with a canon 6d and:
-canon 35mm f/2 (or maybe canon 28mm f/1.8)
-canon 100 f/2 (or maybe canon 85f/1.8)
The problem is that with the 6d share the ergonomics of the 70d (same button in same place) and to be honest i don't like it, as much as i can find all the button on the 40d on the 70d i can't. They took the usefull joystick to move focus point (very practical for portrait and wildlife when you don't want to remove your eye from viewfinder). They grouped 3 button on the right of the screen which are very hard to find in the dark (oh yes i like northern light pictures and milky way pictures). All the button on the back are hard to get.
So i'm thinking that with the 6d i'll run into similar problems. Now because i need to sell all my lens why would i still be tight to canon? I noticed that for 200£ more is the nikon D750, a newer camera, it seems to have a control pad fairly well located to move focus point. The play button is easily situated on a corner. It has a tilt screen + intervalometer (you need magic lantern on the 6d) which can be good for the night photography and looks more ergonomic. I think ergonomic is very important with a camera.
Now looks like the 6D was hugely better that the D610 in high iso, but the nikon d750 looks as good as the 6d if not better in term of sensor and to be fair in term of everything else (appart high iso video from some review which i do not intend to use) but what about lens is nikon has the equivalent classic lenses. Can i find both 35mm and 100mm fast lens prime which are cheap, very good and pretty light?
PS: the last question and what holding me to canon is my only ff lens is a canon 100-400L mk1, is there anything in this kind of lengh and this kind of money for the nikon? It's a great lens and i wouldn't want anything much bigger, heavier for sure.
