After many years of shooting Nikon digital, I was ready to make the jump from DSLR to mirrorless. After doing research for several months I found myself disappointed with the performance of the Nikon mirrorless line, particularly the auto focus. So after much debate, soul searching and several times adding and deleting from my shopping cart, I made the leap. I’m now committed to Canon. (specifically the EOS R5)
I’m not looking forward to learning a new system but it was time. First impressions… this camera is amazing. The auto focus is insanely fast and accurate, and I am stunned by the depth of field achieved on this portrait at F/5.6.
So this is the first step on a brand new journey.
