Hi all
I'm in the market for a new camera body but need some advice on which one to go for. It will be used for architectural photography/walk through videos - mainly interiors.
To give you some context, over the last 18 months I have been using a Canon 550d (old I know!) with a £300 wide-angle sigma lens. With HDR software, the result is generally quite good, but I'm after something that's really going to take the photographs to the next level. Ideally I'd like the following features:
My preference is Canon for the brand.
In terms of budget, the Canon EOS-1DX Mark II is realistically a little too expensive for me. I have, however, been recommended Canon EOS 6D Mark II, which is definitely affordable, and the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, which is just about affordable if I buy second hand.
One option, I guess, is to get a cheaper body for photographing interiors and rent something like the Canon EOS-1DX Mark II as and when I need it for videography. That said, if there is a reasonably-priced camera out there that does it all then I would love to hear suggestions.
Ultimately, it needs to be an improvement on what I've already got!
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
James

- Able to take multiple shots in different exposures for HDR editing later down the line.
- Professional quality result.
- Decent video quality suitable for shooting walk-through videos of interiors. I love this kind of thing:
