    A few years ago I decided to treat myself to full frame with an original 6D. Didn't feel like going up to the 5D, although I had seen lots of UA-camrs using them and knew a few of their features. I find the 6D fine for my personal hobby. Considering that you upgraded from one to the other, a follow-up post contrasting the two models with attention to how their differences impacted your use and results might make a good supplement. Did you find the ergonomics significantly better, the colors/resolution/low-light performance/image quality notably better? The 6D has a simple, almost sparse autofocus pattern compared to the more sophisticated 5D - did the upgrade improve your shooting experience or success rate? How would you map your growth to the camera features, what aspect(s) did you find most beneficial that you could use to make recommendations to others? It would be interesting to see the details behind all that enthusiasm!

    good video. I'm using a Nikon D300 which is my first "real" camera. In the fairly short time that I've owned it, it didn't take me long to jump into manual mode. It may seem intimidating at first, but once you get a basic understanding (the more you do it, the more intuitive it becomes) of what the exposure triangle is, just go for it. I'll still use aperture priority (and even shutter priority) every now and then, but I just enjoy the experience of shooting in manual.
