I was huge into photography 2-3 years ago. I then stopped taking pictures with my DSLR and just had my equipment sit in a closet until I decided to sell everything (primarily just used my iPhone). At this point, I want to dive back into the hobby.
I have owned various cameras over the years from Canon to Nikon to Fujifilm. My most recent setup was the Nikon D800E with 16-35mm, 24-120mm and 14-24mm as my lenses.
The setup above cost me a pretty penny, and after doing some thinking, I'm only looking to have a one or two lens setup this time. I mainly shoot cityscapes and landscapes - occasionally people (ie. family). While I will primarily be using the camera to photograph cityscapes and landscapes, I plan to take the camera along when my wife and I travel.
As for my choices, I love that the 6D is full frame and I am very familiar with Canon's EF lens lineup as I used to own the 5D, 5D Mk II and 5D Mk III prior to switching to Nikon.
The X-T1 is definitely more travel friendly than the 6D, but I'm still relatively young (36) so I don't mind bringing a DSLR on trips, but the X-T1 would fit better in my backpack that I use when traveling. I used the X100F briefly last year for a trip to San Francisco, so I'm familiar with the Fujifilm system, but not as familiar as I am with Canon. I do love the Fuji film simulations and the fact that I wouldn't need to spend much time post processing files on the X-T1 compared to the 6D.
I should also note that I plan to process the images on my iPad. I shoot only in RAW so I know I will be dealing with some decent file sizes.
I apologize for the length of the post, but after doing some research, these are the two cameras I narrowed my choices down to. I know they are not the newest cameras on the market, but I'm looking to ease my way back into photography without dropping a ton of money. With that said, if there is another camera that I should consider, I'm certainly open to it. I'm not looking to spend more than $700-800 at this point. But the lower, the better.
