I have a 5DIII and haven't used a 6D, but from what I've read and seen, and for what seems to be your main purpose (grandkids and general photography), I think the 6D would be plenty.  The focus...

I have it for my 5DIII and love it. I haven't used either canon equivalent, so I can't speak to the AF speed comparison, but I feel it focuses plenty fast for me.

I use a Tamron 24-70 2.8VC on my 5DIII and it works great.  From what I read, your biggest risk going with third party is quality control, but every Tamron, Tokina, and Sigma lens I've used has...

I have the Tokina 16-28 f2.8 and I really like it - it depends on the type of shooting you do though, because there is some slight flare shooting into direct sunlight and it can't take filters...

If a tire falls off my car while I'm driving, I am in danger of physical harm.  If a joystick falls off my 5DIII, I'm not really in any danger (unless I'm barefoot and I step on it, I...

I think I would go with the 6D. It sounds like the only places your 7D is lacking are covered by the 6D and not in situations where you would really benefit from the advantages of the 5DIII....

5D Mark III Flash - Canon 430 EXII Zooms - Tokina 16-28 f/2.8, Tamron 24-70 f/2.8 VC, Tamron 70-200 f/2.8 (and Tamron SP Pro 2x extender) Primes - Sigma 15mm f/2.8 fisheye, Sigma 20mm f/1.8, Canon...

I had mine come off yesterday, same type of situation where it seemed to come off randomly. I bought the camera back in mid-February. Hopefully when I get a chance to send it in the turn around...

I think your best bet would be to shoot in raw and expose the best balance between the highlights and shadows as you can and then pull down the highlights and push the shadows up to even out the...

Call me what you will, but I wouldn't be doing photography if not for the digital age. I taught myself through experimentation and immediate gratification, going from not knowing a thing about...

I hadn't noticed it before, but I just looked through my viewfinder and found the same thing. I may be wrong, but I would attribute it to the larger mirror/viewfinder when compared to the 7D. In...

You could check out hiviz.com - they have lots of different types of triggers that are relatively cheap. I'm not sure how they'll work with your flash (I use a modified disposable camera flash...

so what lens set-up would you recommend to get the same 22.3 - 580mm range (at the same price and weight as the Pentax)?

The 7D does have small (4.5mp), medium (10mp) and large (18mp) raw file options

Your camera phone has a 500mm equivalent zoom!?
