Thinking of upgrading from 70D to either 80D or the newer 6D Mark ii.  Any recommendations? Pros and Cons? Thanks in advance.

The 80D is not much of a move beyond the 70D.

I'm a hobby guy, no pro. I was shooting with a 50D. The 6D did tempt me until I looked into the FF zoom lenses. They are both heavy and expensive compared to EF-S. In the end I did a U-turn and switched to smaller mirrorless cameras.

The cost FF lenses is my biggest hurdle, too. Most of my lenses I use now are EF-S, so I either break the bank for a couple of FF lenses or go for the limited upgrade the 80D offers. Nothing wrong with my 70D, but the upgrade bug hits every now and then. The improvements on the 6d Mark II over the 6D were what caught my eye to begin with, but reality of having to upgrade all my lenses was sobering. I also have the Tamron 18-400 and 150-600 G2 lenses that I bought awhile back to consider, as well.

We all get that :evil:

So either add a FF lens to your 70D kit.  Or take a fling toward street photography and add a mirrorless EOS M camera.
