But, the M1X is larger and heavier than a 5D, and the Olympus 300mm +TC longer and as heavy as the Canon zoom. As you know, Jack, I am always looking for lighter gear but alternatives have not convinced me to switch from Canon. I leave the superior heavier gear to the younger and stronger.
I agree. But for me the frame rate of the 5DSR is too low and the AF on the 7D2 is too twitchy. So I am hoping for two things: first that the AF is somewhere between the 1Dx2 and the 7D2 in reliability and secondly that the fancy-fandangled mirrorless functions will be reliably interesting, especially the pro-capture and in-camera focus bracketing.
If we thought that the range of DSLRs had been getting bewildering, adding mirrorless into the mix is just getting mindblowing when working out the compromises you are willing to work with.
So many options, so little money...
