Thanks Tina!
The camera is a little larger and heavier than the T2i I carried for a long time. Here's the comparison:
T2i: 525 grams
6D: 770 grams
5Dii: 810 grams
5Diii: 860 grams
Maybe you want to consider one of the mirrorless cameras as your next option? It's pretty tempting. But then I look at what the 6D puts out and I'm not tempted any more.
I forget..... are you using the kit lens or did I convert you to the 17-55 f/2.8 lens?
It really did love that spot for the parade. If you're visiting when it's still hot out, I wouldn't recommend FP for this parade. That area has no shade and is at the end of the parade route, so you have to stand in the sun for a while before it even starts.
Heavy, but not AS heavy. I may look into that next year. Wait until I pay off a loan and then get myself a treat! Maybe. LOL For some reason I don't want mirrorless, I keep saying if I need interchangeable lenses I'll stick with DSLR, since I love them. I really do, but I'm just lazy sometimes. LOL I have been looking into getting a second camera, especially if I walk the Camino de Santiago in a few years. I'm picky with that too because I would need to control certain things. For some odd reason the Fuji FX100 (whichever version I would decide to get when/if I actually pull the trigger on that) seems to be calling to me. No zoom, but capable of lots.
I didn't buy the kit lens with my camera, but you converted me to the 17-55 f/2.8 a few years back! LOL, I also have a wide sigma, the 30 mm 1.4 sigma and the Canon 70-200 f/4L. I would technically be able to keep all of them except the 2.8, which would be the hardest to lose!
Good point to the parade FP, I may try to switch that out. I'll have a chat with my friend first.
Thanks again for all the photography chats, I so enjoy them, especially your advice and seeing all your beautiful work!
