When I 1st got this camera, I thought it would be a "back up" body or my quick "grab and go" camera. I do still love my 5Div, but wonder what will happen.
I find myself passing the DSLR and reaching for the RP instead more and more. Having taken the new camera on a trip to NYC and having used the new camera when taking shots of my grandkids, I've grown to really like using this. With back button focus, the ability to quickly move focus points using my thumb on the touchscreen, and a pretty reasonable sensor, what's not to like? When I've had images with poor focus, it's been my fault. When I've had images where I have been lured into using too slow of a shutter speed (the IS in the RF 24-105 is awfully good) causing motion blur, it's been my fault. The histogram in my viewfinder is reassuring.
Yeah, I know the FPS is less than ideal for some applications and I know that I feel much more secure with dual card slots. But I've grown to like this camera a lot more than I ever thought I would. I'm not ready to sell the 5Div but can really see me moving to a 100% mirrorless kit in the future.
I am leaving on a trekking trip next month. Ordinarily, I'd bring a lens triad and my 5Div to give me the most options and best battery life. But you know, when I lift up each camera and compare the weight, I might just bring the RP with 4 or 5 batteries. Anybody out there having similar thoughts?
