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 .

I would if I was bracketing multiple shots though , but in this scenario you can’t because the image is not static

Almost went dslr myself to get back into the hobby, but ended up getting one of these (x100v, 2nd hand cause no stonk anywhere). havent been out shooting with it yet tho

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

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 ?

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

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
