Upgrading from crop 600D - Any final advice?

I've been shooting more and more portrait & engagement sessions lately and have decided I will be pursuing photography more seriously in the new year. Before I pull the trigger on a new body, I'd love to gather some thoughts from the experience photog's here.

I do quite a lot of nightscape imagery as well and occasionally delv into the world of astrophotography, so a camera with decent high ISO handling is a must.

I've heard the 6D can handle low light situations with good results, though the 5DIII has been highly recommended to me for portrait/wedding shooting because of its superior AF points, 2 memory slots..ect.

Any advice on which would suit my given situation?

I currently own:
600d
ef-s 10-22
ef 50 f1.8
ef 85 f1.8
ef-s 55-250

I'd be selling the ef-s lenses and 600d to partially fund the upgrade.

5d iii. You wont regret it. 6d is slightly better at higher iso, also if you buy the 6d you will have extra cash for another lens. But if you want the best all round and dont mind spending the cash, the 5d is your best choice!

Good luck!

6D is great for lowlight situations, even slightly better than 5D mark III regarding the noise control.
If you don´t need advanced AF, i would pick 6D, you save some bucks for other lenses, because all ef-s lenses are useless on FF.

If you can afford it, go with the 5d3. When I say that, I mean you also have a bit of money left for another lens since you'll be left with just your 50 & 85. Otherwise, get the 6d and get some nice lenses to go with it. Whichever you decide, you'll be very happy moving up to from crop to ff.

Heya,

Unless you do this for a living, I would go with a refurb 6D. It will handle low light best. Plain and simple. It also is much less expensive, yet retains very high quality. This gives you money to invest in GOOD glass. You don't need a superior body really. You will get more gains from better glass. Your 10-22 and 85 are your two good lenses. I would start looking for something like `L glass with the money saved not getting "best camera body" which will be replaced after a while (lenses just keep on being perfect).

Very best,

I had a 650D, tried a 5DIII from a friend for over an hour, while it is a great camera, I don't need that complex of a focus system and the mkIII cannot use the eg-s screen as the 6D can. This make a big difference when using 1.2-2.0 glass. Bought the 6D and love it. Try the 24mm 50mm 85mm combo, you will love it on FF.
