Equipment Upgrading to a new DSLR

I own a Canon EOS Rebel T6 and use a 60mm f2.8 macro lens for most of my doll photography.

This camera was my first DSLR and I've had it for several years. It was the perfect choice for a beginner, but as my photography continues to improve, I feel that an entry level camera has become quite limiting. Any setting that has low or bright light becomes difficult to photograph in, and I feel that the face recognition capabilities of my T6 aren't as good as I'd like. I guess I'm looking to expand my horizons!

I've tried out one of the new Sony mirrorless cameras (I believe it was the A7?), and although the quality was very crisp, I found that the effect it would have on my doll photography isn't really what I'm looking for. Canon cameras tend to have a bit more of a softer, sort of blur, that gives a dreamy feel to my photos. I also quite like my lenses, so if I can manage to keep them while upgrading to a new body, that would be perfect. I'm open to all options, though!

Any recommendations that aren't too expensive? Thanks in advance!

 

Thanks for the info. There are just so many different models of Canon (and other brands) cameras that I was really hoping for a more specific suggestion regarding a decent upgrade from my Rebel T6.

That would be something to look into if I knew what kind of camera I wanted.

 

Thanks, @Melissa!

I think the 5D Mark III looks like a good option, as the full-frame does seem like it would improve my photo quality. It looks like there are some decent deals for them on eBay, as well, so I could get one for only a little more $$$ than an 80D.
