1st it to recognize I don't really shoot what this camera is all about - I do birds just cause world class birding is available so freaking easy where I am living, almost an after thought.

I am really a landscape type guy. I really don't need the 12 FPS, changing the shooting profile with a press of the mf button, etc.

Based on the leaked specs of the 6dII I am going to stay w/ my 5dIII for another iteration or so. I would be a buyer of an improved 24-105 (over the v II which really didn't do much optically).

Perhaps an iteration down the line, the flappy thing in facing the lens will be replaced by a flappy thing facing the photographer and there will be an IQ/resolution step up. I didn't read the 6dII as being enough of an IQ step up over the 5dIII.

In the meantime I am going to focus on going places vs. acquiring new gear. Really frustrated that I couldn't get Yellowstone, making my plans for Idaho Falls and the eclipse.
