I am a Nikon fan boy but I think the Canon R5 makes a lot of sense now that you can buy a refurbished for $2400.

mvetrano2 Loc: Commack, NY

I have both Canon R6 full frame and R10 cropped, and G7X III for travel with a myriad of RF and EF (with adapter) lenses. I converted from Canon DSLRs (last were 6DII and 7D) to mirriorless and have never wanted to look back. These new cameras are much lighter, sensational in image quality, and just overall easier to carry and use.

I have used Sony, Panasonic and Nikon cameras in the past, and I am certain thay are just as comparable and of the same quality as Canon, I just find that Canon more versatile and comfortable to use. The Canon menu system seems much easier to migrate than the others.

I hope this helps, and good luck with your search.

Have a Nikon Z7ii with the ftz adapter and all is well.

We will need a ton of information from you. What do you shoot mostly? Is weight an issue for you? Do you like sports? Landscapes? Street Photography? Vacation or travel? Budget? Lens choices? Megapixel preferences? Number of shoots per second important to you?
Nikon, Canon, Sony, Panasonic, Olympus, Fujifilm and Leica all make excellent mirrorless camera's.
And if you think you'll get a better idea here instead of doing your own vendor/brand and model research you barking up the wrong tree.
You should do your OWN research to find the vendor/brand/and model that best suits you. That is what most of us do here. But, lazy gets what lazy does. So here you go.

I use Olympus to my entire satisfaction. I use Olympus and Panasonic lenses.

My best recommendation is that you visit, if available to you, a nearby store and hold some of the mirrorless cameras in your hands. See if the size and ergonomics are good enough for you. Perhaps if you take a SD card they will allow you to shoot some files. Look at them in your computer and see if their quality please you. We can give you good advice but nothing like handling a specific model by yourself.

This would be a very good co$t/benefit ratio to consider.

I recently bought a camera from B&H.
I got a Sony a7RV 61 MP. and love the thing.
I also got a Tamron 50-400 mm lens.
I also bought an adaptor so I can also use my other A mount lenses.
I took the strap that I had bought in the past which is about 3" wide at neck.
I was very comfortable with the weight of it all.
The pictures I'm getting blew me away.

A funny thing about the Tamron lens is that when ever I go thru an airport security my camera bag gets inspected because my lens won't pass security because of the X-Ray.
The lens has 16 lenses in it.

Good morning Wallen;
No risk of "a-hole" attitude or bursting any bubbles. What you say makes perfect sense.
I shoot mostly nature photos and occasionally freelance wedding gigs by referral only. I now have some disposable cash and would just like to upgrade to a full frame sans mirror without breaking the bank. Call it a whim if you wish but in time we all like to get in sync with new advancements in the photo/video world.
Your comments are well taken and appreciated.
Regards and Happy Holidays.

I transitioned from Canon DSLR to two Canon mirrorless bodies earlier this year. I bought a Canon R and a R7. All of my lenses are Canon EF and I bought adapters for both bodies and have been extremely pleased with both new cameras. Both of the mirrorless bodies have sensors about 50% bigger than my older DSLRs. There's a visible difference between the older bodies and the new cameras in the images. The R is less expensive than some of the other Canon mirrorless bodies but I've had excellent results with both bodies.

Hi Dik;
Thanks for your suggestion on the R5. Good to know about performance with existing lenses.
As opposed to DSLRs and for lack of a better name I refer my Fujifilm X-Pro1 as a view camera.
Regards.

That's a little bit of useful information. But, not enough. What specific body(s) are you shooting today? What lens(es) do you plan to continue to use on a full-frame mirrorless EOS camera? Other than spending some disposable cash, what do you intend to accomplish with this purchase?

Is a new camera that best thing to buy? What software are you using today? What speedlight do you own? What tripod? How is your computer set-up, especially the monitor for digital editing? Do you already have the best lenses? Do you have primarily full-frame lenses in preparation for a full-frame sensor?

The UHH community primarily thinks a new camera is the only way to improve. And, if you don't have the apex model of whatever line you shoot, you ain't nothing. They'll spend your money like their own. Don't fall into that trap if you don't have to ....

Panasonic Lumix S5 with 20-60mm lens can be bought for a good price

burkphoto Loc: High Point, NC

Do look hard at the Panasonic Lumix S5 Mark II. This $2000 body uses the L-Mount Alliance lenses from Leica, Panasonic, Sigma, and several other manufacturers, so there is a fast-growing and reasonably wide range of optics available for it.

The Lumix cameras benefit from Panasonic's deep knowledge of customer needs and preferences. They really do their research. Not many know this, but they have been making mirrorless digital interchangeable lens cameras since 2008, before everyone else. The S5 Mark II is their first camera with Phase Detect Hybrid Autofocus, which answers almost all of the objections folks had to using Panasonic gear. It is also a first camera to include downloadable LUTs (look-up tables) that allow users to create and install their own "look" profiles for both stills and video.

If you have any interest at all in low-light photography without a tripod, the S5 II has amazing Dual Image Stabilization good for up to 8 stops of shake reduction at focal lengths out to 150mm or so. Longer stabilized lenses maintain decent stability much farther out (5 to 7 stops).

If you want to record video, the S5 II benefits from deep knowledge of video recording tools and technologies. It simply incorporates pro-level features other cameras do not implement.

If this were 2015 and the S5 II were available then, I would buy it instead of my Micro 4/3 Lumix GH4.

Which brand and model you choose depends on why you are switching. The focus and metering systems have improved significantly over the last decade, as have the pixel numbers.

I switched to mirrorless because of decreased weight and increased focus capabilities. The major weight savings came with the lighter mirrorless lenses. I have shot Nikon for a few decades and stayed with Nikon and bought 2 Z lenses. I will use 3 of my old lenses with a converter and sell the rest. I think Sony cameras are phenomenal as are Canon. You can’t go wrong. I seriously considered switching brands. Olympus is making a strong showing and has years of mirrorless experience in the 4/3 format. Fuji also is in the race. Visit a store and hold them all. Good luck.

I did just that. I use the EF-RF adapter and my EF lenses work fine on my R series Canon camera.
