Hi, sorry about dumb question, but please share with me your information about Canon's plans about EF lineup and 5D or 90D like SLR lineup future. For the last 4-5 years, I haven’t paid much attention to the changes, I’ve just taken photos of what I had.
My experience after quick research: no new 90D like camera in last 3 years and no 5D like camera in last 6 years.
I finally got 5D mark II (I bought it used a couple of weeks ago, in good condition) and perfect for me with EF 135L, EF 100L Macro, EF 24-70 F4L.
Also, I got an old 700D with EF-S 10-18mm F4.5–5.6 IS STM for landscapes, EF 50 1.8 STM for portrait.
I planned to get a 90D like camera because 33 Mpixel not 18 only like 700D.
As I see, Canon selling only R or M lineup, and no newer xxD or xD or xxxD cameras with EF/EF-S mount.
I am not planned to buy new camera in next 5-10 years and I want to use my current 5D mark II + 700D if I can.
I am planned to buy a new 90D for landscape with EF-S 10-18mm F4.5–5.6 IS STM.
And / or I am planned to buy a UW lens like Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM, but it's too expensive for me. Also Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L III USM are too expensive. Cheaper alternatives for me: Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM or Canon EF 8-15mm f/4L USM Fisheye or Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM.
So what can be better quality (F/8 + HDR 3 bracket images) for landscapes and buildings?
A.: 90D + EF-S 10-18mm F4.5–5.6 IS STM
or
B.: 5D mark II + Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM or Canon EF 8-15mm f/4L USM Fisheye or Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM
I use most of the time F/8 or F9.5 with 3 bracket HDR EV +3/-3 or EV +2/-2.
Thank you for sharing your opinion, I'm left behind, these "old" Canon 5D-like machines with EF lenses are perfect for me. I know I’m not trendy, but that’s right for me.
