In my case life is too short to bother with Canon (or Nikon for that matter).
I'll not deny they can take great shots, but so can any other camera made in the last 5 years (even camera phones).

Sensors are now out-performing the equipment available for most of us to view that which the sensor can capture.
I think my 20 mpx Pan M4/3 GX8, Pan lenses, Toshiba laptop and my 3 in 1 printer are well matched. I am well satisfied with my choices, have won a "photo of the week" in the past and do believe that the majority of Hoggers could not benefit from 90 mpx over 24 mpx, unless they are not savvy enough to "fill the frame".

Everyone is right here, there are so many excellent cameras out now at all price levels and from so many makers, it is hard to go wrong with any gear. Even the older, reliable stuff still makes good images. So no need to go into debt for the latest thing . Use the gear you need to fit your vision and the gear that fits your budget and be happy.

I have been fortunate to take a hobby into a long successful professional career. And that has allowed me to afford some excellent gear over the decades. But when I teach photo courses to my university students, it is not all about what gear they don't have, but about making the best of the gear they do have at any level, as they create.

You dont need a camera that shoots 4k or 8k video if your screens only display HD. And you dont need a 50mp or 61mp still camera if your affordable lenses cant resolve enough for that expensive sensor.

The majority of UHH members here are not professionals, and dont need gear to meet professional duties. As enthusiasts we all want gear that we are comfortable with, like an old reliable friend . If you already have that old reliable friend, ignore the GAS and look no further. Cheers

By buying a cannon adapter you could use both lenses on your mirrorless if you buy one

I agree with "CHG CANON" We all get big BANK out of a Canon.
