On the used market here, the cost of two prime specimen with low shutter counts is exactly the same.
The 5D ii comes with a battery grip which though I have never used, like the idea of as something that will keep the camera better balanced while it is on my neck, mainly.
The 6D comes with (another) 50mm f/1.8 lens. I already have two, and several legacies 50's.
The both come with their respective boxes, cords, CD's and chargers.
When I started looking into full frame I thought I had considered the 6D to be a workable answer to my prayers. I didn't look at the 5D mark iii because it didn't look like the differences in performance were as much as the differences in price. The 5D mark ii I figured would mostly be old and well used. But low and behold I have found one like new. Which would you get?
It might be worth mentioning that I always use the center focus point only. I can't image what the point of 61 AF points is other than to confuse the camera and focus on something I'm not even looking at. But maybe it is good for vista shots, I don't know.
