-6 EV, gotta have it
.05 AF speed , gotta have it
28-70 @F2 , gotta have it
...single card slot....hmmm.

Single card slot a Deal breaker or worth the risk with the -6EV for those dance shots late in the evening?

Well worth it.
The incredible DPAF is also functional now in 4K. So you get the instant focus dead on in all video modes that even Sony can't touch.

I just received my Sony a7 III and seeing Canon is only offering a single card on their new mirrorless they just lost me completely.

Wedding photographers who have experienced a bad card in a single slot camera never want to experience it again. In 250+ weddings only sued once and that is when a card failed on a single slot camera. Never again .....

As someone else stated, Canon didn't aim for the wedding photographer in this latest release, some have said maybe they are protecting their high end FF's and scaled down what could of been.

I just spend $7K on my conversion and will spend another $3K shortly.

Selling all my Canon gear ...

I can't believe one card slot. First Nikon says we are done with photography as a business, now Cannon. I mean really could we please just throw out all this new fangled stuff like computers without CD ROM drives, phones without cords, cars without points, heck, cars without gasoline engines. And go back to the good old days when you needed a horse and wagon to carry around your glass plates and do real photography.

One card slot? The world will end tomorrow.

Shoot a wedding and then find out you have a bad card in your one-slot camera .... imagine telling the bride what happened. Pro wedding photographers demand two-slot cameras ;)

I've had 2 cards fail. One with a "photographer's error" by not having the second card as back up, and one with the second card set properly. All I can say is after experiencing that, there is no way I'll ever do a wedding with just one card.

I'd rather have the automatic back up and never need it, than to have a failure, and not have it.

I know nothing of Canon gear, but as for Nikon, even if they came up with a mirrorless full frame that would somehow take advantage of my glass, I still wouldn't switch if they were limited to one card. It isn't worth it to me.

If you are dead set to go that route, it's up to you, but I would suggest you go back to using several smaller cards, and switching often like we used to back in the day, so you only risk losing a few photos instead of a whole wedding.

I considered a Sony A7III but from all the videos I have watched, it seems the AF with adapted Canon glass in low light is a bit sketchy.
My 2nd camera is a 6D (single slot) and I have anxiety until I can get the photos downloaded. All the "primary" shots are on the 5DmkIV so I will never risk not delivering but there are some shots on the 6D that I know would make the Brides day. Last wedding I shot I did not have a 2ns shooter so I setup one the groomsmen to help me get the "reveal" from 2 angles. Other than that, nothing on the 6D was critical.
Think I will wait to see what the higher end EOS-R has. Or buy a used 5DmkIII.
