New toy , Canon R6 and 2.8 glass

Has anyone else bought into the Canon mirrorless system?

Sold my Nikon gear last year , a Nikon D800 dslr and all its glass for a mirrorless . I have a Fuji XT1 , but I wanted to go with a full frame sensor , so I purchased the Canon R6 .
I would have preferred a larger sensor then 20 megapixels , but I don’t like the design of the R7 with its lcd display replacing the knob on top . In the future if canon redesigns it with a knob on top like the R5 , I’ll consider it .
May have been better off with the Nikon 7ii , but after holding both in my hand , I prefer the ergonomics of the canon by far .
Have purchased 3 lenses so far, their 15-35 2.8 , 24-70 2.8 and the 70-200 2.8 .
I can’t get over how overpriced glass is now , as I used to think 2K was expensive for a lens.

Anyways , I was experimenting with trying bring in Fisher Peak with a flag in one of our towns park.

You can see the flag and Fisher Peak here from where I was standing . I took it with my iPhone for reference.







Then I took it again with the canon r6 and a 70-200 lens .

lol , I have a tripod but didn’t use it as it’s not required with all the stabilization the lens and the sensor provides.
I would if I was bracketing multiple shots though , but in this scenario you can’t because the image is not static

Only thing with dslr’s are they are heavy , especially with 2.8 F glass . I prefer my Fuji XT1 in some ways , as it’s half the weight, and now some of these these mirrorless cameras are getting into dslr territory weight wise

nice, mirrorless are changing the game but there are days where I miss the simplicity of my canon 6d. That camera was such a workhorse and worked so well

Yes Fuji has been known to take the best Jpegs out there . I’m really feeling skeptical about selling my XT1 . I have a buyer from Ontario coming this way on holidays , and I’m selling him the hardly used XT1 and both 2.8 lenses for 2K .
The glass alone is 4K to replace after taxes in Canada , so he’s basically getting a free camera and the one free lens .
I should buy a prime lens to keep it small and light , and use it for hiking if I was smart.
With my luck I’ll see a Bigfoot and need a telephoto though.
You don’t want to get too close to them , as I have heard of instances where they’ve killed humans . Plus apparently they smell terrible , so you really want to keep your distance .
Or maybe that was sqaw snatch ?

Ya I think I’m nuts tbh . Things like new too boot , and Fuji must have the easiest controls to navigate . Both lenses are 2.8F .
Going to miss it
It’s a shame the 15-35 , or the body doesn’t have stabilization. Never had issues though , as you typically don’t require stabilization at low zoom ratios .
The 50-140 has stabilization though

Thanks Bruh . Considering how far away the mountain was , and all the atmosphere in between, I’m impressed it came out that well .
I’d love to do that same pic when the clouds have purple and pink in them at sunset , but it’s tough to get the just right conditions , and I’m too lazy to go out there every evening lol
