The 6D is out of my range. Here in Germany the 6D about €1200 while the 70D is only €800. That's a big difference. But seeing the comments here, I think I may stick with my camera and lens for now. Maybe I'll buy a used GoPro for video - those babies are awesome, plus you can film under water, which will be great for our vacations in Greece!

Thanks for your help everyone!

Wow, so first topic in the forum!

So here is my question... I currently have a Canon 7D Mark I, but thinking of down/upgrading to the 70D because of its better video capabilities, WiFi, movable screen, etc.

In order to do that and not invest money (I would buy the 70D new), I would have to sell both my 7D and my 24-105mm f4 L lens. I would then buy a new 70D with a new 18-135mm f3.5-5.6.

And my question is: is the 18-135mm really noticably less sharp than the 24-105mm f4?
I use it as my "always on" lens and for travel. The 18mm vs. 24mm is a nice improvement for me as well as the slight increase in tele-zoom. But those are just little things that would not be worth it, if the cheaper lens gives me bad photos compared to the more expensive one. I mean, some decrease in quality must be expected - there is a reason why the L lenses are more expensive. But for a hobby photog like me, is it really a point?

Apart from vacations I usually do outdoor portraits and stuff like that and for that I tend to switch to my 50mm f1.8 STM because it is sharper than the L-lens anyway.
