All of these are made with the Canon R5 mirrorless camera I first got in early November of 2020. This camera continues to amaze me with what it can do to help be capture the images I seek. While I cannot tell you if the image quality is better than my 1DX Mark III I really liked before the R5, I can tell you I am a better photographer today for the multiple ways it helps me shoot that is not offered by my previous Canon DSLRs. I know there is some discussion if the mirrorless camera is really better, and I can't speak for other mirrorless cameras since I have not used them, but changing to the mirrorless R5 for me reminds me of changing from film to digital 20 years ago. It is staggering how it improves what I can do - both easier and better. It is interesting to hear opinions from so many who have not used this camera. But for those who are open-minded, you really need to try it. The mirrorless changes are not that difficult to adjust to.

Photography and investing in the stock market are amazingly similar in some ways. Both I got into when I was young and continue both avidly to this day. In photography, my hero's were Larry West and John Shaw, both from Michigan where I grew up and their advice was golden. In investing, my hero's are Warren Buffet (super good investor and generous with his money and great advice) and the late John Bogle (founded Vanguard that created funds with super low expense ratios to help even the average get financially strong). All of these fine men provided me with excellent guidance through photo workshops in the seventies or financial books. And I think Buffet said it best about investing and that applies to photography too. There is a lot of advice out there - take your pick! But consider it just noise. Always seek better ways to do things as that makes it more fun.

If you want to believe the Canon R5 is no better than your DSLR, go ahead, that is fine with me. You can also believe the moon is actually made out of cheese (Swiss I believe), typewriters are better than Microsoft Word, and rotary phones are better than your iPhone. My vote is for the Canon R5 mirrorless, and if you don't like that, then call it "noise." In the meantime, I am loving this R5 and eagerly look forward to the flagship R1 that is expected to arrive later this year.
