Which Canon to pick?

I use it on my canon 350D, and love the bracketing feature and being able to shoot repeated shots on a timer.

That’s exactly what I like and use most: Auto HDR bracketing and intervalometer. And “Magic Zoom”, of course. (And while we’re at it: Having the current time on display saved me missing the appointed time more than once when no other clock was in sight. )

@CarVac

I used it for a while on my 60D and found it not particularly useful, and it made the camera start up a half second slower which was extremely irksome.

Half a second sounds like you are hunting for snapshots. Pressing SET at startup skips ML for this boot.

Wow, some really great ideas. Thanks guys!

As @chris aluded to, while I’m still saving, there will no doubt be updates to older models, and maybe the game plan will change again. Particularly if the 6d’s or even a 7d2 successor offers better features and a not horrendous price increase.

If it were to happen today, it’d either be a 80d or 7d2, primarily because the 6d in it’s current state is pretty old and things seem to have advanced significantly for aps-c sensors since. Also, having to replace lenses is a big drawback at this time.
