May 28, 2013 at 16:46 comment added Michael C This review discusses the differences between the 6D and the 5DIII at the end of the review. There's even a chart that compares the specs of the 5DII, 6D, and 5DIII. the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/…
May 28, 2013 at 16:39 comment added Michael C I own both a 5DII and a 50D. I can shoot with the 5DII at a little over one stop higher ISO than the 50D and get about the same performance in low light. The 5DIII is about 1 stop better than the 5DII based on most reviews (and examples) I've seen. So the 5DIII would be a little over 2 stops better in low light. That's quite a jump! The same shutter speed at f/2.8 on the 5DIII would need f/1 on the 50D to get comparable noise!
May 28, 2013 at 13:33 comment added dpollitt Your update really shows no real reason why to upgrade. The 50D can already shoot video(install magic lantern), it can print very large, and does well in low light(although the two you are looking at buying could be potentially a stop better). I wouldn't upgrade if I were you - unless you have clear reasons for doing so.

May 28, 2013 at 13:05 comment added Joanne C I still think this could generalize a bit more, to be honest, to make it more useful long term. Both Canon and Nikon offer a consumer oriented FF and a more professional FF that are close in price (5D mkIII/6D and D800/D600) and reasons for selecting between the two would be quite similar.

May 28, 2013 at 11:58 comment added damned truths Is there something specific that you want that will be gained from these cameras (e.g. you may want to print big and so need those extra pixels, or you may be shooting in low light so the better ISO handling may be a big advantage). Giving specific needs and wants will help differentiate between the cameras, and may make the question slightly more answerable.
