    I'm on the hunt for a new camera. I want something that takes full frame quality shots like my old 5d mii but lighter and cheaper? I'd like to keep everything under 1k, max 2k for a body and lense.

    • Oops, too expensive. It is FF and small, though!

    • Aren't the sony A7's newer and better?pinkfloyd
    • Maybe, but not smaller. The RX1 is the size of a large Point+Shoot

    • Fuji XT-1formed
    • Shout-outs for the X-T1 - incredibly fun to use and small enough to carry everywhere. I've had mine for over a year still only use the (great) 18-55 kit lens.face_melter
    • Saw the XT1, and it looks cool but sensor isn't as good as the full frames?pinkfloyd
    • The sensor isn't ff, but it's fantastic. Picture quality is better than bigger sensor. So unless you are shooting billboards you should be fine.formed
    • fyi, I have a Nikon D800 and the thing is a nightmare to carry around. Done over, I'd go with some micro4/3formed

    • Sony A7 mkII cameras seem to be next to ideal.futurefood
    • A7 is way out of his price rangeformed
    • The Sony A7's and Fuji X's are the best. Fuji glass is ridiculous - up there with Leica.inteliboy
    • sony is likely your best option. do you have many lenses?jaylarson
    • No lenses nowpinkfloyd
    • sony would be perfect for what you desire. only the price tag isn't (yet).SimonFFM
    • Not sure any ff is under 2k...
      But so far Sony is the closest thing to what you want.      pango
    • Nikon D750 goes for 1600-1700. It's a great camera! but it's about the same size as a 5djaylarson
    • I'll take your 5dii. You only do selfie anyway :Ppango
    • please delete all those selfies :Dpinkfloyd
    • i use the 6D and its great, not as many AF points but the center AF point is bang on.cruddlebub
