Re: new T6s (760D) vs. used 5D mark II

Recently I purchased the T6i and I use to own the 5D ii.  I can say they both are excellent cameras, but I am going to give it to the 5d ii for ISO performance.  I seldom noticed much noise, no matter what I shot.  With the T6i, it does have noise with ISO of 1600+; but it cleans up so easily in Lightroom.  The T6s has the 24 megapixels, so it really produces some detailed images.  I used the 55-250 STM with my T6i and got some excellent eagle shots with great feather detail, using a higher ISO.  I like the AF system of the T6i much better than the 5d ii, but they are what, 7-8 years apart in technology?

Both are great cameras and personally I think you can't go wrong with either.  Have you ever used full frame?  The thing to keep in mind if just starting out, the lens for full frame can get quite expense and you will not have the reach of the crop.  But the 5d ii produces some great images.
