Make the 6D to a Wildlife & Macro setup and a X70 to allround + landscape setup?

Hello
Today I own a 6D with several lenses. (17-40/4L, 28-75/2.8, 50/1.8, 105/2.8 and 150-600 vc). Mostly I photographing wildlife but sometimes I shoot landscape too. For a long time now I've been looking for a good compact camera that I can take with me and leave all the heavy equipment at home. I have increasingly switched over to Fuji's cameras. I want at least the APS-C sensor. None 1 inch. I have long looked at the X70 and this camera is capable of very nice pictures with good opportunities for editing. I have tried to edit some raw images and I feel that X70 can certainly provide a good match against 6D when it comes to landscape and nature images.

- Very good ISO performance
- tilting screen with touch
- shutter speed to 1/32000s
- wi-fi (I've the 6D without wi-fi)
- Focus peaking (when I need it)
- good optical pancake 28/2.8 lens
- many function keys/buttons (8)
- analog and retro look
- can use my old filters from the 17-40/L
- USB charging

In the current situation, I have no money to X70 or X100t but thinking maybe to make a change in my current equipment.
Sell 17-40, 28-75 and 50 / 1.8 and then buy any of these Fuji cameras and use the 6D with only the 105 / 2.8, the macro and 150-600 to wildlife.

Is it a good solution?

Have you thought about just the 6D and the 40mm pancake?

I have started doing this while panoramic stitching and have gotten pretty good results.

When I got my 6D with me I want every lens with me :0) a 6D can't be smaller

Yes,
But...

are you going to be carrying 2 kits around or just the fuji or the 6d?

I guess I'm not sure why you don't drop 3 lenses for the 6d (17-40, 50, 28-75) and just shoot one prime for landscape. Like the 24mm f 2.8 usm? Carry one kit that way. The trade in weight between the 24 and the 17-40 alone is very substantial.

Very interesting you would choose to shoot birds and macro with the 6D.. as that isn't really what it's strengths are, and shoot landscape with the x70 with a smaller sensor.. Most go landscape with the full frame and then do birding/wildlife/macro with the crop.

When I shoot wildlife the most subjects are still and not moving. I'm not so much for birding. If I do shoot birds there are no small birds we talking about. Why I love 6d for my wildlife style of shooting it's because it's amazing iso performance and together with the tamron 150-600 which isn't a fast telephoto lens it's a must to have a camera like 6d. I'm not afraid using iso 4000 as standard if I need that. Wildlife is not just about flying and moving subjects.

I know that full frame cameras, like 6d, is the best choice to landscape photography but after some days of editing X70 pictures I feel that the picture from that sensor give me better dynamic range and much more power in the colors. It feels that everything is better so I was thinking about having the one camera for landscape, everyday and street usage and one only for wildlife.

I want to leave one setup at home everytime so the goal is not to carry around two setups.

hey, if you like it and it works for you, then go for it. I was comparing the DR between the two, and they seemed equal in my research.. but I have no hands on experience, like you do.

You are not crazy if you are picking the tools that work for you and give you a good experience.

X-t10 vs X70

Someone? Pros and cons.

You're talking two totally different cameras there.

X70: smaller and lighter. But; fixed lens no view finder

X-t10: view finder, interchangeable lenses. But bigger, heavier plus the weight of lenses.

They both have the same sensor so IQ and ISO noise will be about the same. If you want just a small fixed lens camera then the x70 or x100 are the way to go. If you want a second interchangeable lens system then go with the X-t10.

To really mess with you, if you want to spend less then look into used a X-e2. The 4.0 firmware brings it up to the same level as the X-t10.
