Hi everyone ! I have a 40 year history with cameras ; Minolta, Nikon and Leica in the old days, Minolta (yes!), Sony and finally Canon in the Age Of Digital. A great experience with the 40D with the 17-55 and a gorgeous 70-200 2.8L ; not free of problems but with some great results. As my 6D (4 yrs old now) is at 75k clicks, I'm waiting to see the II. The 6D is THE best camera I ever owned ; I'm even considering taking the current offer @ € 1750 including the 24-105 non L, it's THAT good to me. BUT, remember, I fell for Canon with the 40D !
