Re: Canon full frame mirrorless camera
Some issues can just be taken from the specs, a particular one is that even the professional level (£3,499) Z 7 only has a single card slot which apparently is a big negative for many professionals. It uses XQD cards which aren't presently common and are expensive but are faster and said to be more reliable than SD or CF.
I'm sure that's true, Canon just don't seem to have taken the M series that seriously. Maybe they have just been using them to test out mirrorless technology ready for their full frame models. Actually the M50 plus adapter (387 + 110 grams = 497 grams) is heavier than the 200D (453 grams), which is presently my favourite body, so no weight saving with my existing lenses.
Fortunately our existing kit will continue to work as well as it always has, which in my case is better than I really need. I like to buy cheap second hand photography books. Many of these date back about 8 - 10 years when the 5D II and the 1DS III were the professional choice. Funnily enough, I don't remember ever seeing an image in these books and thinking "that would be so much better if only they had a 5D IV, a 5DSR or a full frame mirrorless body". It might be easier for the photographer with a later model camera, but I've not seen any improvement in actual images whether in books or on screen. The D30 is the only body I still have which I'd definitely consider obsolete, all the others are perfectly capable of taking decent images, it's the six inches behind the viewfinder that needs improvement.
it's interesting that reviews of the new Nikons have been mixed, but very few people have their hands on them yet. I'm not in the slightest bit interested but I can't see anyone having a sensible view until the final model is in people's hands for real.
lack of native lenses is the thing that is holding back the Canon EOS M series.
