![]() ![]() ![]() I have a Nikon D7500 - I consider it a high end crop sensor camera. (None of this applies if you’re doing landscape or studio work) I agree that you shouldn’t upgrade unless you really need to, but the game has moved on and the way AF works in the latest generation of Sony and Canon bodies really changes how easy it is to shoot when it really matters. I’m not saying YOU need to get a Sony, and it’s fine if you don’t like them, but you can’t make statements about mirrorless ignoring their existence and how much they have moved photography along. A Sony A7c with its kit lens is comparable to a Fuji x-t30 with the 18-55 2.8-4 but is smaller, lighter, has better AF and is full frame. Adapting EF lenses is also more of a short term solution and if you have a mix of RF and EF lenses it is a nightmare unless you buy each EF lens it’s own adapter, or love juggling.Īlso, size is another attraction that only Sony is getting right atm. So despite how good the RF lenses are, they just aren’t viable. There are lots of very good EF lenses available new or used as budget-friendly alternatives.įor the vast majority of photographers, value for money is much more important than the last 10% of IQ, or even build quality. RF lenses are expensive, but build quality and IQ is outstanding. I contemplated getting one of the A7 variants but decided against it after I got the RX100M2. I have one Sony camera but don't like the UI. I make portraits and get eyes sharp in close to 100% of the pictures. When considering an upgrade from relatively modern equipment with good capability, the first (and second, and third, and.) question should always be "Is my current equipment not working well for me, and if so, will that be remedied by an upgrade that I can afford and justify?"Īll I'm saying is that an amateur with a good quality APS-C camera should think twice before venturing into FF territory. In comparison, there are e-mount options at affordable prices.Įxcellent advice. In addition to the EOS R lacking the AF performance, the RF lens selection, as good as it may be, is not affordable for your average photographer. The magic of mirrorless is the amazing AF in the Sony 3rd gen bodies (and Canon R5/R6) which is something DSLRs can’t compete with. I suspect you feel like you “fell” for the pressure due to getting an EOS R. Perhaps you could wait a couple of years until used FF MILCs and native lenses appear on the used market? There's great joy in having gear that works well, makes your shooting easier and the pictures better, but if your current gear delivers good results, I think it's relevant to question whether new equipment is worth the expense. Even though I use adapted glass and bought used where relevant, I've spent more on FF lenses than I did on the camera body. I fell for the pressure and bought a Canon EOS R (intermediate level FF MILC) to replace my Canon 7D (high end APS-C DSLR). Unless something in your current setup stops you from achieving the results you want, why change? The pressure on APS-C DSLR users is tremendous. At the moment, manufacturers are pushing full frame mirrorless. ![]()
