Wow, what a warm welcome for a new Canon FF user... No opinions welcome, only Dxomark data.

My apologies! I saw your controversial post and you haven't updated your gear list to contain the 6D at that moment, so I jumped to conclusion too quickly.

But I suggest you should choose the right gear for the right job. Using an FF cam for video is already a waste, but using a commonly know inferior lens doubles the waste.

For good videos, you need STM lenses on a crop sensor cam, best such combination would be the 70D with 55-250 STM.

It appears that FF is good enough for Hollywood productions so I am very much impressed with 6d video especially in low light. I am using Manual focus for video. My RX100 takes care of auto everything. I have my doubts that 70d with STM will provide smooth continuous AF in low light and with its poor high ISO performance, I bet videos are much noisier than 6d.
