Why is there such a great fear of using adapters when going to mirrorless?
Most everyone here say that lenses are "Forever" and the body can be changed out preferably.
Yet there is a desperate need to change all lenses out because of the fear of using an adapter on perfectly fine lenses. Perhaps a pixel peeper can see the difference between a mirrorless lens and a non-mirrorless lens.
I have found absolutely no issue using an adapter as it just stays on the camera. Also there is no burning desire to swap awesome lenses for other more expensive lenses just because the new camera is mirrorless.

I went through this same evaluation a year ago and got some good results from Hoggers. I had a 6DII and SL1 plus a whole series of EF and EFS lenses. I wound up selling both cameras and all but one of my lenses and wound up with the following:
R6
R10
RF 50 1.8
RF 85 2.0
RF 14-35 f4 L
RF 24-105 4-7.1
RF 24-240 4-6.3
RF 100-400 5.6-8
EF-S Tamron 16-300 3.5-6.3 that stays on the R10 with adapter.

With all the sales and trades of all my older equipment in wound up only costing me abou $1000 for everything. The RF 24-105 and 14-35 are the ones mostly used on my R6, and the 16-300 is 99% of the time on my R10.

The R cameras and RF lenses are 10 times above the non-mirrorless cameras and EF lenses, and I never looked back.

I've never understood where the debate is, here. Dedicated cameras AND smartphones all have their advantages and disadvantages. I use both, and will continue to use both. Like JPEG and raw, and slides and negatives before them, I don't see an argument! They have different applications for entirely different workflow situations.

I'm eagerly awaiting the introduction of the iPhone 15 series on September 12, 2023, at 1:00 PM EDT. My iPhone 7 Plus is aging, as its operating system is obsolete, compatibility with the rest of the Apple ecosystem is waning, and its battery is down to 77% of original strength. I will replace it with one of the new offerings. And no, I'm not interested in an Android phone, because I use a Mac. There are too many benefits of the iCloud ecosystem to ignore. Most of the applications I use on the Mac have file-compatible iPhone versions.

My current iPhone has been a very capable device for casual photography. I've used it like a point-and-shoot on a regular basis. When I need the control and flexibility and lens versatility of an interchangeable lens camera, I use one. In many instances, I could use either, but I definitely know when I want to grab my Lumix.

The ultimate solution for me would be the full integration of a smartphone with a dedicated camera. The ability to use an iPhone as if it were an Atomos Ninja 5 or similar external monitor/recorder would be fantastic.

I have a Canon R7 that is relatively new. I since I could not buy the body only at the time I bought the entire body plus lens kit. I also bought the adapter ring so I could use my non-mirrorless lenses. When I got it I immediately tried all of my lenses on it, and it worked with all of them. I had some health problems during the summer and did not use it much. A week or so ago I decided to use it rather than my &DMII. Fortunately, I tried it out before I left home. When I tried it using my Tamron 18-400 on it the camera had trouble focusing. This never happened before, When I pointed the camera at something it would focus but when I pressed the button to shoot the picture it would refocus into a blur, every time. If I held the shutter release part way down it would continuously hunt for a focus. I didn't have much time, so I put the Tamron on to my 7DMII and it worked fine.
Earlier today I tested it with the Tamron and my Canon70-200 both worked fine. This evening (still daylight) I took these two lenses and the R7 to a shoot and I had almost the
same problem with the Tamron (this time it would not focus with the Tamron). It was better with the canon 70-200 but still not quite right.
I suppose I should send in both the camera and lens to the same place to be checked out but I had to send both during the peak fall sports season. But which place? Canon or Tamron. Both should be under warranty.
Before I do that I was wondering if any one here has had this problem? I was not using the eye tracking feature. Firmware is up to date at 1.3.1 Thanks to all of you in advance

I have an EOS 5DIV and recently purchased an R5 with the EOS lens adapter. My intention, when I first bought the R5, was to use it until I was was comfortable with it and then sell the 5DIV and EF lenses purchasing RF lenses of similar range as replacements. Since purchasing the R5 I have purchased an RF800mm lens that I occasionally use and enjoy. As I contemplated following through with my plan it suddenly struck me that it may not make sense to follow through with the plan, especially since I have enjoy the flexibility of having two cameras of this quality available at the ready. As a result I thought I would throw it out to the wider experience base of UGG for opinions.

With two fairly high quality cameras that I can currently shoot every lens with except the RF lens (forget that the transition would cost a significant bundle for the moment) does it really make sense to change out the EF lenses for RF? Is there significant photo quality to be gained in going from using EF lenses on an R5 to all RF lenses? Even if I sold the 5DIV would it make sense to go from EF to RF?

I purchased a Canon R8 mirrorless body and have found a problem that I need help with. Is there a setting that will prevent touching the screen with my thumb while I have the camera up to my face using the view finder.
I was on an evening shoot, and later discovered that my thumb must have touched the screen in the lower right corner and changed the focus point. To correct this, I had to turn the “Touch Control / Standard” off and use the camara like a DSLR by focusing on the center focal point and then re-composed the shot. This is not the way this camera was designed to be used!

I know…Keep your thumb of the screen and you will not have this problem. Any other suggestions?

P.S. So far, I am really impressed with this camera as the focus is really sharp and fast and the eye focus is amazing.

I love that line from "Jaws" about a "bigger boat." I like carrying a small camera that fits into a case on my belt, but this Sony WX9 falls short. There's no viewfinder, and the picture quality leaves something to be desired unless there is lots of light. I think I'll start looking for a small camera. My cell phone is small, but it's a phone, not a camera. It doesn't have a viewfinder! 😂

In many situations, it's not practical to carry a DSLR or a mirrorless. I'm restricted to only two arms and two shoulders. I hope Human 2.0 comes better equipped.
