Very happy to say I recently picked up a Canon 6D II and took it out on its first outing. Luckily I have owned a couple of Canon's over the years, so was relatively familiar with the operation and menu system.
I had been considering upgrading my Canon 40D because my lovely lenses (EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM Lens / EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM Lens / Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM) outstripped what is becoming a dated camera body (2007 release date, 10.1 megapixels
I enjoy watching a YouTube channel called Framelines which is sponsored by MPB, I hadn't heard of this company so I visited the site. It is a company that buys and sells camera equipment, the procedure was simple so I traded a couple of my unused Fujifilm lenses towards my Canon 6D II. Very happy!
So I coupled a dog walk with its first outing, just to get a feel for it, casually having a go without too much thought. I have been using a Fujifilm x-Pro 3 (+27mm & 35mm lens's) and the X100F since early 2020, so this felt quite different.
My Fujifilm camera's will remain my street photography camera's as I love them, I never want to be without them. However, the Canon 6D, coupled with my already owned lenses is going to be great for days when the waves are good and I can get some surfing shots. I also want to explore more of the coast, of which there is plenty around Cornwall, and catching seascapes, especially during storms, of which there are plenty in winter!
