Hi Toni-A,
I have been thinking the same question as well for a while now. I had a Canon EOS 5D mark I, which was a great camera. But then I used a Canon EOS 600D for a while and noticed that the image quality of the latter was better than the 5D. Of course the 600D was newer, but I really struggle to see the difference in quality between modern FF and APS-C camera's. Both are good, and maybe a FF is better on paper, but is the difference so much better that you would spend so much more money and walk around with a heavier piece of equipment?
And a bonus on most APS-C camera's is the articulated (or swivel) LCD screen, which I love. I cannot bend well, because of severe back problems, but even if I didn't have these problems, then still the articulated screen would appeal to me.
I own a Canon G1 X mark 1 since a few month. The images quality is great, but it is just too small for my hands and too slow in comparing to a Dslr. So, I am looking for a Dslr again, not to ditch the G1 X, but to replace my 5D. The G1 X was always meant to be a camera which I could carry with me when not going on a photo-trip, because even to the local market you just don't know what you will come across and always carrying a Dslr everywhere is just too cumbersome.
I am thinking of a Canon EOS 70D right now by the way.....or maybe skip brands, because I need a new standard and wide angle lens anyway.
Kind regards,
Reinier
