Ishrani-
I see that you shoot with a 5D Mark ll. This is a question for all. I'm going to pick up a camera for my macro. I shoot with a 7D (have a 1D X for my sports shooting but bigger than I would like for macro). The 2nd camera I am looking at is the 6D. I like it that it's 'small', has a built-in GPS, is full-frame (so it can double as landscape) and has good low-light capacity. I've looked at and considered the 5D Mark ll & lll.
Which camera do you think would be best? Your input, and indeed all others would be greatly appreciated. (I hope this is the appropriate place to post this).
BTW, as usual, nice pics.

Canon 7D, Canon 6D, Canon 1D X, Canon MPE-65 f/2.8, Canon 180 f/3.5, Canon 100 f/2.8, Canon 580EX ll, Macro Twin Flash MT-24EX

Thank you, Billy.
About the camera... I do not have much experience but I used a 7D last summer. Denis was using his 5d Mark II and decided to purchase a 6D and did so. He was not very pleased with the image quality of the 6D and bought a 5D Mark III at that point. It is then that I inherited his Mark II. The Mark II and III are probably your best bet. The 7D is not that great for macro.
