I shoot with Fujifilm GFX 100s, so I'm not into any of these. I also don't shoot sports or action, maybe I would get Canon R5c for an all around kit, there is 28-70mm f2 for example and other amazing RF lenses. The prices are quite crazy, but some of the lenses are superior to what Sony have, but I like also the options on Sony from Sigma for example. The purpose of the photography decides the gear.

What I really love about your video is that you say from the beginning: all camera manufacturers are great. Because I think that's 100% true. For me, the biggest difference between the manufacturers is that each one focuses on one area and is special in that. You also say yourself that you have found that what YOU need is now better as a total package with Sony. And that is exactly what everyone should be able to find for themselves. I have worked with Nikon, Canon and Sony for many years in my career and all brands have fantastic cameras. Hats off for this great video about it.

I loved my old 5D mark II and 85 1.2. I still feel that Canon has the best ergonomics when it comes to buttons and dials placement and their customization. However Sony made few great business choices couple years back and today they are unstoppable. To me Sony A7SIII is still the best camera for the money nowadays. However everyone has different needs, just weigh them properly and be honest to yourself :) We tend to be sentimental about gear but it's just a gear at the end of the day. If your needs evolve over time, don't hesitate to switch to let yourself grow further.

And of course when you need it you have your 60Mpx Full frame capability or also amazing 26Mpx lossless RAW from Full frame. This versatility is incredible on this camera

Since I do corporate events I wanted a small lightweight mirrorless system that can switch w my run and gun style. I needed a camera w strong low light abilities, quick af with eye af and ibis. The biggest challenge most people that switch is getting used to the menu system.

Hi Laura, I got an R6ii 2 months ago because I came from Canon and have a few EF lenses, and the R6 seemed to be the best option at the price point. I then got the RF 24-70 and now I'm struggling with the size. I came from the T7i before, but I want full frame for better low light and 4K60. The R6 is not too big per se for regular photos and straight on videos, but it would be heavy if I were to point it at myself and vlog. And regardless of how I'm shooting, whether photo or video, it draws a lot of attention and I hate getting attention, especially when doing video. I wish I had chosen Sony simply because of the size of the body and the smaller size lenses. Is it hard to switch systems? Or should I get over it and stick with it for a while? The camera itself is great and the quality is good, and my use case doesn't really encounter too much overheating. I don't have any IBIS wobble. But I am like you, I want to travel more. I'm not a full time traveler, but I want to have minimalist gear, including even my personal items. 1 Camera, 1 lens, 4K60, good low light... What do you think?

I would say sony apsc is the best due to af and glass available but if you don’t like the body design Nikon is the better pick then the canon because of the glass available with their kit lenses and the sigma primes. You can argue it but I’d rather have worse af but better glass to get better photos. Even if I get 50% of the shots I want with the Nikon compared to the canon which it is a lot higher then 50%. The end result of the photo will be better with the Nikon due to the better apsc glass available.

Personally, I rarely need 61mp, but I shoot mostly in medium compressed (26mp) is a portrait photographer. I'm heading to Japan next month where I'll be shooting lots of landscapes/cityscapes where 61 will come in handy, but also, don't forget that you can enter APSC-Mode and gain 1.5x reach while still maintaining 26mp. Your 24-70 zoom just became 36-105 zoom. BTW, the video is pretty amazing! I shoot video portraits hand-held.

@andrewdoeshair Жыл бұрын

I feel this. Similar situation here, I've been a portrait photographer for a decade but around 2019 I started dabbling with KZfaq so I ditched my 5Diii for an EOS R specifically because of the flippy screen, and I spent 2019-2022 slowly building out a very expensive RF kit thinking that (by now) canon and sigma/tamron could offer a full spectrum of products to meet my needs. About six months ago I found myself with an R6, the RF 24-70, RF 70-200 2.8, and a handful of the small cheap RF primes and feeling like each piece was actually a placeholder until I could get some mid range wide and standard lenses (which didn't rely so heavily on in body corrections like the RF 16 2.8 or RF 24 1.8) and some more intriguing short telephoto lenses (like the RF 135 that just came out). One day it struck me that the R6 (and certainty the EOS R) lacked a certain charm as far as the colors and the handling that drew me into canon in the first place, so I bought a 5D classic just to have some fun with and that was the nail in the coffin for RF with me because it made me remember what I used to love about canon. I sold every RF lens and replaced them with proper placeholders (older EF, also Sigma and Tamron) that don't feel like such a weighty investment while waiting for the right lenses. I'm still using my R6 for now, and I can't bring myself to go to with Sony just yet, but Canon isn't getting a dollar from me until I can figure out how I can feel like I'm not over-invested in their system and at the same time feeling like I have toy lenses to fill the gaps between my serious lenses.

@@LauraBC Hey Laura, first time viewer. I shoot the A7R4 - primarily with the Sony 200 600 G lens. After ~60,000 photos I'm still blown away. If you're looking for a good birding lens I would definitely suggest that but if you want to cut the weight in half I would look at the Tamron 50 to 400. You'll have to be more stealthy to get closer to your subject but for hiking you have an 8x zoom lens that can do 0.5x magnification. You could probably leave that lens on all day. I don't have that lens but you can watch plenty of reviews on it. Check out Stefan Malloch's recent video on 7 telephoto lenses for Sony. Good luck on your new adventure!

I switched to Sony several years ago after my Canon was stolen along with all my lenses. At the time my main reason for choosing Sony was I wanted a full frame mirorrless so I could adapt old lenses. I don't shoot much video but the IBIS really helps in low light situations like live music. There are tradeoffs of course but it works for me.

The K-1 was a great camera, but I struggled manual focusing with a DSLR. Sold 24 lenses off too.

Hi Laura, I couldn't agree more. All the manufacturers make great gear, and the more choice and competition the better. We photographers benefit from both the gear choice and the competitive market. I use both Canon and Olympus (OM Systems). They both have their place. When I'm out hiking in the wilderness, I'm almost always packing my Olympus gear. The Canon stuff is just big and heavy and I rarely see any discernable image benefit. However, there are times when I will pick up the Canon, even on long outings. Interestingly, my favourite times to use the EOS R is when I have an adapted vintage lens attached. So, I often use the Canon because the larger sensor size really brings out the character, or the "flaws" if you will, in those unique old lenses, offering up some truly unique photographs. All of that said, I am not investing in any new Canon hardware for the same reason you mentioned--their decision to block third party lens makers. I haven't failed to note that many of their native lenses are hugely expensive, and knowing that I won't be able to mount that incredible Sigma or Tamron alternative makes me feel like I can find an option that gives me, the buyer and user, more choice. Sony is the obvious contender, but I am not ruling out Nikon, or even Pentax at this point. The later's decision to remain focused on the SLR format is actually rather interesting, and there are so many old lenses that can be mounted on their cameras. I hope all of these makers survive and prosper mainly because it is good for us photographers, and I also hope that Canon changes it's policy on third-party lenses. If they did, I would probably just keep using their products and I might even buy one or two of their lenses. Choice is always a good thing!

The flipping back helps with my neck problems… However, it is not such a light gear to carry around… I am not sure the lens you’re using… but you could perhaps add a Sony A7III for video…it’s a light camera, there are some second hand for lower prices. It’s great for low light and videos… and you can use the same lens on both. Then you decide if you take to the hike or not… I know!! Along the drone.. etc… I cannot carry all of that myself, I use my bike… I live in London and if you want to see it and try both, I’ll be happy to show you. Best of luck in your new adventure! Sending energy for your speed recover :)

I was sentimental about brand BEFORE I bought the Fujifilm X-H2S. I had that feeling that this is the one for me even though it was an apsc. For some reason after using it, I can't feel that connection with it yet, always thinking that I should have gone for a full frame. I am glad you posted this video, and now I am going to just keep using the Fuji until I fall in love with it or until I have enough experience and base to switch to a Full Frame. Once again, I love your videos as always.

I started out with my Nikon D3600 way back when. Even to this day still one of my favourite cameras (sentimental!) and I loved the images it produced. However with wanting to get into video it didn’t serve my needs. I had craved Canon and liked the idea of dual pixel af so I then bought the 80D. Absolutely loved it. And couldn’t see myself getting another camera for a good while. However after I tried Sony there was no going back. The fact it was mirrorless, smaller form factor, hundreds of lenses (native and third party) the video and low light capabilities- it just made sense. I still prefer the colours that come out of Canon and maybe one day I’ll go back but for now I’m happy with Sony.

Thank you for sharing Laura. I believe you have thought a lot about it and researched really well. I think the most important factor to switch is the lenses, and I totally agree on this. Canon should have allowed Sigma and Tamron to create RF lenses. That's their loss. Also, I think that you have experienced how lightweight the Sony a7C is, providing such amazing quality! Something you should also look into, is the Sigma "I" series lenses for travel and video. They are extremely sharp from f2, amazing build quality, and very compact. I own the 35mm and I will get the 20mm, naybe the new 50mm as well. Sigma lenses are amazing, especially the new ones are very sharp with great colours and other features. You are making a good choice switching and I think you will love to use the new AF system (such a huge upgrade from a DSLR) especially in 5th generation with AI. Can't wait to see your new adventures and videos - places you go and stories to share! Thanks for all the inspiration and great work you do! Keep it up, at the end it's you who make the memories, not just the camera :)

That's not the only problem. Canon releases just compromised bodies in order to make the users to buy the next body, etc. Every release has a major flaw. I really don't like the bodies. On the other hand, in general you buy a system around the lenses, not around the bodies. The lenses will keep a life time, while the bodies may get better. However! I can't discount the fact that the RF system is probably the best right now and even the competitors have similar prices on top lenses. But not having the sigma as the Sony is a bugger. The Sigma 35mm f/1.2 is absolute madness and a must. Canon didnt even release the RF 35/1.2 yet!!! Then Sony has also the Sigma 85mm f/1.2, which is best for the buck. Personally I don't like cheap glass unless has some vintage features, but Sigma and Tamron are a very good solution for a lot of people who don't want to be necessarily pros.

I started photography (as a hobby) last year with a Canon M6 MKII (M mount). Canon first dropped the M mount, so I started looking for a body with IBIS and looked at the R7/10 until it was announced that they cut 3rd party glass. Before the M6, I had a Sony A6000 with a $200 Tamron 30MM F2.8 and fell in love with Tamron. I went Canon because I heard so much about it, and was never impressed with the M6. I went back to Sony with a used A6600 until Sony hopefully releases a new APSC, or I will go with a used A7RIV and shoot in crop mode. I just love APSC glass as its not as bulky as FE and I want to keep things light. The A6600 with a Tamron 17-70 has treated me so well. Much better then the M6 ever did.

This is such a great feedback! I love reading different needs and preferences, also experiences. It's great that we can use APSC mode in Sony cameras right? I love that feature! I love Canon but they're being left behind... I still can't believe they don't allow third party brands to do RF lenses... Everyone is switching...

Thank you for your video, Laura! Like you, we are migrating to either Sony or Nikon. We recently sold our Fujifilm and Canon R5, R3, and our lenses. I am curious as to which Sony lenses you selected. Initially, we were looking for the 24-70, 70-200, 90, and either the 50 , 85 or 135mm lenses. Then, we looked at DXOMARK. The Sony lenses have the highest numbers for Sharpness, certainly higher than comparable lenses from Nikon and Canon. What are your thoughts?

I did the same. I started using the Canon EOS R cameras, then switched to a Sony A7Siii and Sony A74 to have two bodies for video and video/photo respectively.

These are EXACTLY the same reasons for me as well all of them, I've had the a7rv for about 6 weeks now. For vlogging I've just bought the 11mm 1.8 which is a crop sensor lens but its tiny and lightweight and can obviously do good low light. Might be worth a look for vlogging for you too.

Laura also you can pair it with the latest Metabones adapter and use all your EF and EFS lenses from Canon on the Sony, that's what I did. And works like native lenses. Lots of possibilities.

@@LauraBC So do I! I have the MC-11 and the Metabones Mark V if using Sigma only lenses works little better on MC-11 than Metabones adapter, but Tamron and Canon lens has no issue with the Metabones. I find that Tamron when using telephoto lens don't work well with Sigma MC-11 adapter. To much hunting where the Metabones is way better. I know it cost a crazy price but I bought used for $250 so it was worth it. Also Sigma adapter does not take EF-S lenses from Canon. I would say Metabones, then Sigma in terms of functionality and compatibility. I don't have the model you have. I am shooting with A7R2 Sony and I love it. Keep up the good work ❤️

I had the adapter and it doesn’t perform as good with canon lenses as using the Sony native lenses or sigma art. I had a lot of distortion in landscape photos and eventually had to switch my lenses also.

@amybella Жыл бұрын

@@MK-hz2bn Maybe yours was defective, mine has 0 issues whatsoever. Yes of course full native, is always faster without an adapter. But on my A7R2 had 0 issues, no hunting for me, locks on subject right away. Sigma lens on the other hand, they work little better with the Sigma adapter. However, using Sigma adapter with Canon glasses lots of issue. With hunt, and if using Tamron lenses would not focus at all. I have both adapters Metabones V the latest version with the IBIS switch has 0 issues with all my Canon glass. Updated to the latest version on the adapter Firmware updated to V0.70. Metabones makes alot of adapters, so I dunno about the speedbooster. I used the Metabones EF-E Smart Adapter.

@LauraBC Жыл бұрын

Hi Erick! For my work, I need more mp than the Canon R6. Also, having to use an adapter it's not always ideal. New cameras have incredible autofocus features that are not compatible with lenses that are not native RF. Also, to get more stops of IBIS, you need native RF lenses. For me is a must for my videos. That is of course for my specific needs. Adapters work great for photography though.

I purchased an R7 because I have a lot of lens and peripheral investment into my 70D. I purchased the EFs adaptor, only to find out most of my lenses including Tamron, didn't resolve enough for the higher density sensor. Also, it appears there are very few new lenses coming out for the EF mount, further locking people into the R mount system. I tell people just getting into photography to go with Sony or any other camera that has good 3rd party lens options if they are planning on using it as more than occasional hobby.

Thank you for sharing your story, this is becoming very common now and i think Canon will soon regret its decision to restrict 3rd party lenses for RF mount. I was Canon user for 20 years and in the past few years i have slowly switched to Fuji i also switched from Adobe to Capture one and my experience has been fantastic, i have seen an improvement in the color science and Skin tones, Fuji has some secret sauce when it comes to colors, the dynamic range is just as good and the AF well it may not be quite up there with Canon but its 98% as good and more then enough for my needs, I have also saved thousands on moving to the very expensive Canon RF lenses, The Fuji glass is some of the sharpest i have ever used and the character i get with some of the lenses it’s impressive, my clients have noticed the improvement in my work compared with Canon. Don’t look back you have made a great decision Canon have scored an own goal with this crazy decision.
