Still..... i think i gonna choose the A6600 over the A6400. Not decided yet.

large investments in crop if you ever go FF

I think the Fro has some good points

In his vision i already made my mistakes buying lenses being not full frame compatible. In his 50-100mm review the Fro said f/1.8 compared to f/2.8 isn't a big deal. In my opinion it is a big deal.

I’d agree with you

Still, i payed 1700 euro for my sigma f/1.8 zooms.

i saw a combo deal around Christmas for a lot less

The SONY FE 70-200MM F/2.8 GM OSS = 2600 euro. And next to that i need a f/2.8 24-70-ish zoom. You can pick the Tamron 28-75 for that, however, the bokeh of this lens isn't great. And still both lenses are 3400 euro combined. With a G-master 24-70 its 4800 combined.

too much - reason why I shoot primes and multiple bodies

You can compare to full frame bodies, but as soon as you take the glass prices into account it becomes clear there's no free lunch here.

no free lunch anywhere

but my 35 IS and 100L on FF are amazing for around $2K

Furthermore: my low light pics often need some DOF, as often it is about more than one person. Often it is about family being together. As soon as you have to stop down to compensate for the thinner dof full frame gives you, the light gathering advantage of full frame is gone.

you need a trigger and off camera flash

And even with single person portraits there is a limit - at least for me - for how thin the dof should be.

ff is about getting a useable shot in iso 6400 and iso 12800 light

One eye in a soup of blur isn't a portrait to me (o.k., i am exaggerating here, but you get my point).

i do get it but it is about distance and cropping power also to get those eyes in focus

My 50-100mm already teaches me i have to stop down more often. (For 18-35mm its still: larger aperture is always better though.)

with the 33 mpxls you’ll be able to shoot loose and crop

Full frame is sharper.

yes, very noticible

The sigma's f/1.8 zooms can't rival full frame glass.

but as a pj lens they can get the action

When a thin DOF is preferred it gathers more light with lower noise levels. For the bodies the value proposition is better. Not going to argue with that.

that is why I use a combo - ff and  crop approach

However, when taking the prices of full frame glass into account it is a whole lot of money for..... a small percentage of my pictures.

for me it is necessary to get paid

on the Sony vs canon, canon has the cropping power. Canon has the colors. Canon has DPP

it would be hard for me to move to Sony

If your facts are different we could save the peace just by calling it copy to copy variation.
