Re: a rented T6s is arriving here tomorrow...

Sorry, I forgot you mentioned low light, close up photography.  You will likely find very poor AF capability for either situation.  For macro photography I do a lot of rock and shoot focusing.  I want the camera to work on AF so I have an approximate focus, then I set the AF by pushing the shutter halfway, then rock gently back and forth to obtain perfect focus before shooting.  Unfortunately the AF on my T6s rarely works at anything close to 1:1 macro.  It typically just stops working and hunts at anything closer than about 1:3.  This is a big issue for me because for macro work I typically hold a flash in one hand and only have one hand for the camera.  Without AF, my shooting technique is screwed.

Let me know if you have any other concerns in advance.
