Eric T.
Hello! my name is Eric how can I help?
How much better would night sky pics be on a full frame than on rebel 2Ti, which is what i have
Eric T.
full frame does have better Low-light performance. So my guess would be yes much better
but I dont have a full-frame camera eitehr
I have a rebel t5i
have you done night sky astrophotography?
Eric T.
No, my experience is mainly portrait photography, I admit im a little inexperienced with night sky photos
im trying to decide beitween 2Ti, 6d and 5d mark 3
Eric T.
Tough decision. ive heard really good things about the 6d
we also have an open box deal going for that one. would you like to take a look?

Eric T.

Eric T.
okay.
What is meant by open box
Eric T.
It means it was returned before the 30-day return policy period was oever

The original conundrum...how much better is image quality on 6d or 5d 3 than T2i?
Eric T.
The difference is significant I think.
T2i is sort of a semi-professional camera in comparison to the other bodies
alot depends on your lens though
for example for night sky photography you probably want infinite focus.
does that help at all?
Ill be using a samyang 24 mm f1.4
manual in all respects

I might suggest this lens
instead of a new body
is there a cite showing phots taken in darkness with crops vs full frame?
Eric T.

there are probably image comparisons somewhere on the net
I do not know where they are
Yes. I lost u

the rokinon 24mm
is being widely used as a great night sky lens
that lens, my lens and the Bower are identical, made by same company
Eric T.
You are probably pretty well set in the lens department then.
still need help with body
going to maui in oct and dont want to mess up
Eric T.
You will definitely get better results out of any of the body's you mentioned. I would go with whatever is compatible when your lenses
any word on 6d v 5d3
Eric T.
5d3 is going to be a bit better
I would go with 6d just for price though
Thanks for sharing your thoughts
Eric T.
Sure. thanks for chatting!
