DwainRowe Senior Member  More info | Jan 11, 2014 15:31 | #2 Yes, the 6D AF absolutely sucks.

I upgraded from rebel to 60D and amazing how my outpoint problems went away. I feel like I do back then. Not saying it doesn't work but why waste shutters when you can nail it first time w/ cross point AF.

JeffreyG "my bits and pieces are all hard"  More info | Jan 11, 2014 16:10 | #9 I had the 5D, and when the 5D Mark II and Nikon D700 were both released at about the same time I was disappointed in Canon for sticking with the relatively weak AF system of the 5D/5D2 as compared to Nikon.

Jan 11, 2014 16:57 | #10 JeffreyG wrote in post #16597354 If you appreciate a good AF system, you will like the 5D Mark III. AF is why I skipped the 5DII and 6D when upgrading from my 5D. I got tired of having one effective AF point. Why buy another camera with the same limitation as the old one? Now with the 5DIII I can effectively focus and track targets with 41(?) points instead of 1. That's not to say I don't have plenty of great shots from the old 5D, but the 5DIII sure beats it in the AF department

Its a nice camera for the price, but it lacks so many features that would be missed after using the mark iii for a while.

Naw...Talley has been looking to buy a 5D3 for ever and since he doesn't shoot professional sports he's grasping at kids for justification and that's ok! If he really wants one of those monsters he should get it. Actually I'd pick the 3.2 inch lcd rational over running kids but thats just me. Just make sure you have lots of lights on Talley! Dave

Jan 11, 2014 19:24 | #15 hm... I must have extraordinary skills... My 6D keeper rate is about the same as my 70D/7D. I don't have kids though. Still, I can shoot BIF with my 6D when I want to. I wonder if I had a 5DIII would my keeper rate go over 100%?

Just kidding, congrats on the new camera.
