SS you are probably the only Canon shooter there! All those white lenses are Sony. The Sony 70-200’s and 100-400’s for FF mirrorless are white just like yours. You have to listen closely to hear the 20 FPS shutters. Ha Ha!!

They were at a more important pro event, instead of a bike race. You don't need a pro level Olympus EM1 Mark ll shooting 18 fps to shoot a bike race.

Everybody saw the website that showed the arsenal of Nikon and Canon cameras that were on hand at the 2018 Winter Olympics. It looks like they were about equally represented. Sony's new A9 is designed to compete head to head with Nikon's D5 and Canon's 1DX Mk.II. I'm not sure if pro photographers have adopted mirrorless cameras yet. Nikon has announced they will be releasing a full frame and a cropped sensor mirrorless camera. I think Canon will be also. I understand that the Canon M50 mirrorless has been a little underwhelming. Maybe the upcoming mirrorless cameras will be better received.

You canon snob you! You must be somewhat blind as well, so no other cameras other than Your brand, hummm. And than you are so closed minded about Mu-43 systems, I’m glad I don’t think like you my fellow hog. So now you should crawl out from under your rock and see what you’re missing!

I shoot with a Canon guy here in Florida that has just semi switched to a Sony with a 100-400 mm lens and it shoots at 20 FPS, it is hard for me to get my head around that speed. Plus, he can switch to silent mode and you don't hear a thing, kind of weird.
He has the Canon 600 f4 with full frame Canon camera (don't know the model) So far he is really impressed with his new system, he said there are things on the Canon that are better than the Sony and things on the Sony that are better than his Canon. But, he says, he is adjusting and he really likes the weight of the Sony with the 100-400 lens attached.

thanks billnikon. It will take time, but you will see more and more mirrorless at events. There were quite a few at the Super Bowl, Us Open Golf, Wimbledon, Us Open Tennis, Winter Olympics. I just guess the OP wasnt at these events. You have to remember that most staff pros still use equipment that is supplied to them by their news organizations. These organizations have spent years building up Nikon and Canon gear and aren't spending the capital to switch everything right away. It is happening slowly for pro individual shooters and news groups. Relax and wait for it. Don't forget that both Nikon and Canon will release their own fullframe mirrorless systems later this year or early next year. CHeers
Just a sampling of top pros that have switched and use mirrorless:

Poor SS. Feeling lonely and ignored. So he seeks some attention. Sad.

It is true that at almost every major event, including football games, the big boys are shooting almost exclusively with Canons and Nikons. I have never seen a mirrorless in there, but the new Sony seems to have the specs to keep up and join the duo. Mirrorless cameras have other uses, such as street photography. I am a Canon full frame and crop sensor guy but I previously had a Sony NEX-6 with the diminuitive 16-50 lens that was great for a walk around combination and I am thinking of investing in the one of the new Panasonics for the same purpose. But for shooting a wedding or other big event, it will always be with the Canons.
