I feel as it is time to comment again
A lot happened here in the last days – thanks to all people taking time.
For some clarification: Exactly, U.S. – however I am next month in England and afterwards in Germany, so if a product should actually be significant cheaper in Europe, there is definitely the possibility to get it there.
I have the possibility to get the 6D with the lens for around 1600-1700, the K3 ii with lens is 1400 – therefore I said that they are similar enough in price. For ergonomics, as for now I only had the 6D in my hands – planning to go around Thanksgiving to B&H to see if I like the “feeling” of the Pentax. For some reason I wasn’t a fan of the Nikon’s I hold in my hands before, no big bias just an impression. As outlined on the second post I currently tend towards the Pentax, as I could afford more accessories. Additionally I liked the print comparison linked here. However as I am still open towards both I am going to monitor if either drops significantly in price at Cyber Monday…
I used dpreview to look at the ISO Camera comparisons and were very pleased by the noise until 800/1600 – which looks good enough for me considering pictures are almost entirely taken outside. However Canon’s Low Light performance looked superior to me – the main reason the 6D is still in the race.
Tilt and shift lenses are outside of my planned acquirements for some years to come...the Minolta gear can be ignored, too. (Is designated to be a present to my brother
As a side information, as I am going to shoot in RAW the internal JPEG quality is not relevant either.
So thanks again for the different comments, I value to see different sides and arguments!
Best greetings
