KeymasterOk! So, does a smaller pixel size mean lower quality?
From my understanding, to a degree: more noise when shooting in low light. https://techforanyone.com/megapixels-dont-matter-cameras/ So it may not be as big an issue for you, if you don’t plan to do much low-light photography!
Because I’m used to only having 9 focus points, 45 sounds like tons to me!
Yes, 45 would be an upgrade for you. 🙂
I’m not sure about going full frame.
Oooh, I had hadn’t thought about that. Well, when you go to upgrade lenses, you’ll most likely be getting EF instead of EF-S lenses, so going full frame later might be a better option than trying to upgrade both camera and lenses right away.
Has anyone had any experience with using an adapter to be able to use your EF-S lenses on an EF camera body?
Sorry, I don’t have experience with this. I think you’re into photography enough that you would notice the negative side affects of adapters.

Ah, ok. That’s good to know.

No problems. Yep, from my research I don’t think that an adapter is going to produce very professional results.
So, after doing more research, I’ve changed my mind and am going to take the plunge and go full frame. 🙂 I don’t have many lenses anyway, and one of them (Canon 70-200mm) is compatible on full frame, plus I’m really needing to upgrade my wide angle lens or get it repaired due to dropping it and the focus ring getting stuck regularly. 😬
I’m seriously considering the Canon 6D Mark II. Have you or anyone else tried out/owned a Canon 6D Mark II? From the reviews I’ve watched, it seems to be a reasonable camera, especially for someone at my level. A couple of the drawbacks seem to be the dynamic range not being the best at low ISOs and the focus points being condensed in the middle of the screen?

ParticipantI just thought I should let you all know that last night I purchased the Canon 6D Mark II! The place I was looking to purchase it from had a sale and I was able to save $500 on it. What a huge blessing! Now I can’t wait for it to arrive. 🙂
Thankyou so much for your help, @ernestf-lloyd, @buddingphotographer, @dfrazer and @jamesstaddon. I really appreciate it. 🙂

KeymasterNO. WAY! This is so great! Now I’m jealous! 😀 Can’t wait to hear your experiential review on it now!
