105 1.4?? Dude I want that so bad..

Also, I've been eyeing a lot of news about the Sony, and the more I hear about it, the more I want it. There for a little, I thought about upgrading my 6d to the mark ii, but the difference wasn't great enough. From. What I've seen, this Sony is way better in low light than a lot of other current cameras, and the price isn't too bad either. Especially in a few months and I buy it used ;)

Haha tell me about it dude! I know I don't NEED it, I'm not sure ANYONE 'NEEDS' it, but yeah, I want it reaaaaalll bad. Even if it is humongous. Oh, and the fact that the sample images they released were all shot at 2.8 isn't at all a worrying reflection of their confidence in the 1.4 sharpness.....nope....not at all! Excited to see some 1.4 @ minimum focal distance!

Ah man, I know the feeling, I so wanted the MK2 to kick ass, but it was such a disappointment. It just made the 6d even BETTER value. Part of me would love that new camera feeling, but I just can't justify anything Canon and the idea of switching to another brand is a headache I can't be doing with! Even though I would love the DR/ISO performance of the Sony's the Canon's are still plenty good enough really. Plus I do absolutely HATE the ergonomics of the Sony's, and they are a brand I love for all other electronics. But they definitely aren't comfortable camera's for extended use! No idea why they wouldn't just sort that out! Literally just put one of the a7 series guts in the old X series bodies and they are sorted!

That's a fair point about the ergonomics. I have a a6300 with a metabones adapter for all my canon lenses, but yeah..the camera itself is just not comfortable to shoot with for long periods of time. My 6d just sits perfectly in my hands, but that little mirrorless is not the best in that regard. But I really really want to try out their ISO and see how good it actually is!

Yep, I know what you mean, I just want to take the bugger apart, steal the guts and put them in my 6d body! For me that's the perfect size, small enough to be light but also fit in the hand perfectly. Just a shame it's getting so long in the tooth!

I do not know what that last sentence means. haha

Just make sure you give the D750 a good look first. I'm not a Nikon fanboy because of their customer service problems, but the D750 is one amazing camera at a great price. The D850 is better, yes, but at a significant step up in cost.
