Definitely magic. I find myself using it for no other purpose just to use it and see it do its stuff.
I use my iPad Pro with the Mi chip and 16 gigs of Ram with a stylus and Lightroom mobile as the last step in my workflow. Works out pretty well. My eyes like having it right there in my hand. The iPad iOS and inability to truly calibrate the screen are limiting.
My initial import from memory card goes to my 2013 MacBook Pro and Lightroom Classic. I prefer that for the heavy lifting (batch editing) and catalog organization.
I have a 2021 MacBook Pro back ordered from B&H. Interested to see if I can successfully use the iPad with a stylus as a second screen with the new MacBook.
I have both and find them both to be great cameras.
For serious studio work I tend to use the heavier, metal framed 5D4 with an L series lens, for casual street use the lighter, polymer frame 6D2 with a prime EF lens, 28 or 50 mm.
The difference in control layouts keeps me awake.
Had well over 300,00 actuations on my MK II before I sold it. I hear it’s still going strong.
Don’t fret about your shutter!
I have a MacBook Pro, since 2014. Works great, never any problems. When I upgrade it will be another Mac.
I loved my 5D Mk II!
Never any problems after years of faithful and intense service!
Look for a good used one at Adorama or B&H.
Too much perfection? What a concept!
With either, you can’t go wrong.
You could try using the iPad to mIrror your MacBook’s screen or your computer’s monitor If you have an iMac when all are on the same WiFi network. Then just run Lightroom or Photoshop or any other editor you like on your computer with the iPad as a second monitor.
Using the iPad with a stylus may be preferable working with a mouse or even a Wacom tablet.
Don’t know how this might work with a PC.
It may focus out. Look at a photo taken with it.
Otherwise have a professional deal with it.
But know that aggressive cleaning, even by a professional, could create a larger area of damaged lens coating.
