I dont really care whats new and whatnot. I mean at the end of the day, the 80D isnt full frame so im gonna have to distance myself the same as I am my T5 now no?
I've had my 6D for three years and I dislike the fact that it only has 11 focus points for what I shoot. It produces great images and I've seen many people with the 6D get some amazing results but it's all about glass. If you have a sharp lens with the 6D you'll get great results. My advice is to go full frame now vs spending money on the 80d now and then later one deciding to go full frame. Unless of course you want the 5DMK3 but since you like the 6D things should work out.
That shot I posted above was shot with my 6D 24-105, not the sharpest but I don't have a prime right now.
Anyone mess with flash mods?
Recently copped this for an event I covered. I highly recommend. Very nice to have a soft boost in the ambient light.![]()

Yeah, shot that out at Vazquez Rocks... anyone in LA, I recommend checking this place out! And appreciate the recommendation - I know Manfrotto is one of the go-to's, just with their whole lineup I'm not sure how to narrow it down. Mainly looking into a tripod to get myself into some timelapse - but also looking for a travel one that I can grab n go with ease.You shot this?
For tripods check out mefoto roadtrip and manfrotto. Manfrotto has a wide range of tripods so what ever fits your needs. I have the mefoto roadtrip and I have no problems with it so far for what I use it for.

Who shoots night photography (engagements or proposals)? What equipment you use and what are you guys best practices for proper ambient exposure.
My homie rented a 6D for a wedding and we got to borrow it for one of our (street fashion) shoots. Shot mostly with my 50 1.8 and man that camera produces such nicer shots (obviously) than my T5. Well that might br the wrong phrase as I think i can replicate thsoe shots with my T5 but obv full frame makes a huge difference. Its just much easier with the 6D.
Thinking of maybe grabbing one now but some reviews online have me second guessing. The 80D is not a full frame but in some reviews is "better" than the 6D. I like the fact the full frame and 50mm is a lot easier than my T5 and 50 as I have to be a lot farther with the T5. That would be my main notion to upgrade.
For what I want, full frame for the sake of not havinng to be so far to get a full body shot, better ISO performance would a 6D be ideal? Any other suggestions? Im reading the 80D has more focus points but the 6D seemed to focus well for street photography.
I prefer a prime lense, my 24 is nice but 2.8 is meh and it distorts pictures a bit. I dont mind shooting with it but maybe that 35 will be a good buy...
Hmmm

you should invest in a long lens for the bokeh you're looking for.
instead of primes i would suggest a zoom because it offers more. most primes that you can afford (i assume. sorry if im wrong) you will either have an issue with or cant use on full frame. you cant use the zoom i mentioned on full frame but it makes up for having to buy multiple primes. plus 2.8 can still get bokeh. the 24 distorts because of the focal length and more. not ebcause of the aperture. correct me if im wrong though

Oh no, bokeh isnt a main thing at all. Its nice in the pics that I do but certainly not at the top of my priority list.
Plus woudnt a 200mm or whatever for bokeh mean the shooter has to be far from me anyways? Thats difficult with the shots I normally take.
