I'd like opinions on whether or not a mk3 is worth paying more than a 6D if I am selling my 7D kit to afford it. I take food/concert photography with most of my income coming from food. The idea of built-in wifi and GPS make me extremely happy as does the lighter weight but I dunno y'all...

Depends on how much you need that godly Mk3 AF

This is pretty much it, along with greater durability and some semblance of "future-proofing." Also, after playing with both the 6D had less to offer as far as quickly changing settings go - the UI seems god awful whereas the mk3 is very similar to the 7D setup I'm used to.

Yeah, harder to navigate without joystick but I'd probably get used to it.

Random question: if I tweak the focus on my lens manually after autofocusing does that hurt it?

Awesome thanks y'all. Randomly got paranoid that I was loving up the motors on my lenses. So what's the point of having an AF / MF slider on the lens?

Question mostly because the roomie rented a 6d and now I want to skip a vacation and grab one. :(

Just grabbed a 6D and I love it.
