    Good work Ashley...That camera of yours is a MONSTER, and holds up to 98% of any mirrorless in the world. That was a series of cameras that will last for at least 30 years, maybe getting the shutter replaced, if need be. .. I had a Sony A series and my son broke it, so I went to MD with a borrowed T3,and LOVED it. Then I went full frame yet went for the Pentax K1 MK2 , for the low light, the build, the astro photography, IBIS, the movable screen, etc,etc.. Now I went and bought 2 SONY little babies that do 4k, since their cameras are made for toddler hands, and of course I have Canon film cameras,one that is the first film camera they made with AF. All you need to learn are the basics, get some good glass, and walk around, so being in NYC is a wide open canvas... One of my homegirls has the Canon you have, i think. WE havent gone outside to shoot together yet..

    A few years ago I decided to treat myself to full frame with an original 6D. Didn't feel like going up to the 5D, although I had seen lots of TH-camrs using them and knew a few of their features. I find the 6D fine for my personal hobby. Considering that you upgraded from one to the other, a follow-up post contrasting the two models with attention to how their differences impacted your use and results might make a good supplement. Did you find the ergonomics significantly better, the colors/resolution/low-light performance/image quality notably better? The 6D has a simple, almost sparse autofocus pattern compared to the more sophisticated 5D - did the upgrade improve your shooting experience or success rate? How would you map your growth to the camera features, what aspect(s) did you find most beneficial that you could use to make recommendations to others? It would be interesting to see the details behind all that enthusiasm!
