Don't limit yourself to DSLR. Mirrorless technology has come on leaps and bounds over the last couple of years. Also, don't overlook the entry level stuff. It all depends on what you intend to shoot. Sometimes a good entry level body is all you need, and then spend the money you save on better glass.

Edit: Have a look at the Sony range of FF Mirorless

Thanks mate

It's taken me ages to understand how a DSLR works so I don't want to start looking at different technology
When I say I don't want entry level, I mean I want full frame sensor not cropped, you can't get that on entry level bodies

Don't suppose my Kodak Brownie is gonna cut it?

What do you want to photograph? It's a key question. Boiling it down to the basics - things that move or things that don't?

Mirrorless..... Fuji XT-1 or XT-2

Or take my X-Pro-1 off my hands and I'll buy one of the above

Had a few very good Nikon DSLRs and the Fuji X Range blow them away in terms of picture quality... even on the jpeg setting they are awesome

Here are a few taken in Cuba recently with the X-Pro-1.. the XT range are better still









Whoop Whoop.. Got £300 off the XT-2 at Manchester Airport on Monday.. turned into quite an expensive business trip to Amsterdam

I'm giving the X-Pro-1 to my lad...

Mirorless cameras have exactly the same controls as DSLR (ISO, Shutter speed and aperture) but they also offer a true reflection of what the sensor sees through the viewfinder.

Any reason why it has to be Full Frame? Most if not all crop sensors offer large high res prints. Even micro four thirds images can be printed big.

Have you already got any lenses, or are you starting from scratch?

The truth of the matter is that any enthusiast camera from Fuji, Canon, Nikon, Sony etc will be capable of brilliant results, ultimately it's down to you to get the shot.

The mirrorless cameras are very close to using a decent DSLR... If you get apertures and DOF etc. you'll love them... perfectly ok for fully automatic shooting too

This is what you want.. forget seeing the sea of tranquillity, which you virtually can, this is what ultra zoom is for.
