5D mk II VS 6D

Hi guys,

Do you think that 6D could be an update to 5D mk II? I know all the techincal differences between them but 90% of my shoots are done in studio conditions. I only care about the noise performance of 6D's sensor which is a lot better from 5D's sensor. I don't need 1/8000 shutter speed. If it will give me the same result as the 5D and a better noise level when shooting outdoors(above ISO 800) than for me it work.
So what do you think?

I just bought my first camera and got the Canon 6D and was watching some reviews on michaelthemaven.com and he reviews them both and recommends the 6D over it and he's been shooting with the 5D mk II for 5 years.

Here's the link below!

I am just starting and getting into it and by no means trying to say I'm right or he's right but watch the video and see what you think.

Just trying to get as much knowledge by reading and watching videos.

Thanks,

TJ

I do own a 6D and I would highly recommend it over the 5D mk II, the ISO capabilities are much better as-well as added features as HDR, GPS, Wifi, ability to use SD card. I guess the best way to compare DSLRs is using snapsort http://snapsort.com/compare/Canon-EOS-6D-vs-Canon_EOS_5D_Mark_II/specs

Thanks guys. I did bought a 5D mk III tho...really like it.

How are you liking the MK III? I already have a 6D, and mostly shoot slow moving wildlife. I need a 2nd full frame camera, and can't decide between another 6D, or the 5D MKIII.

Did about 7-8 shoots with it so far...and i really like it. For example iv'd tested the 85/1.2 on my old mk II and it was a bit slow. Then iv'd put it on the mk III and it's a total change in focus speed. It was like i had another lens. The focus system on mk III and the 100% viewfinder are awsome.
