Hi
I may keep the 7D and some EF-S lenses to give them to by son. But I understand your point.
But I do not know if these lenses have value now, all my EF-S lenses are quite cheap appart the 60mm macro.
Thanks

Remember if you go the 6D route that your EF-S lenses won't physically fit on it - but then they would only give 9Mpx on the R8. More importantly it won't have the focussing versatility of your 7D, never mind the vastly improved focussing of the R8. Save time and just go for the R8 if you really want FF.

ie, yep, get with the program

the RF 24-105L is amazing

the R8 is amazing with -6.5 EV focus aquisition, which is -3.2 EV @ F4 and with your best 24-105 ever made you can focus in full moonlight and with dxo PL6 and deep prime noise redux you can use your F4 L lens in low light up to iso 25, 600 and get useable results with the sharp f4L lens

also R8 gives you the latest FF IQ and in c-raw e-shutter gives you up to10 second bursts with up to ~200 shots with the amazing subject tracking

go for it - you have the money set aside - otherwise you'll continue to spin wheels with dated stuff

Yes, the more I read, the more I am convinced by the R8 + RF 24-105
That's what I generaly do, every 10 years, upgrade my set up to benefit from the past 10 years innovation

a great plan indeed!
