Great photos, Cog.
It's interesting to hear yet another "mirrored" Canon photographer say the "mirrorless" body works better for them with their EF lenses - enough to replace their mirrored body. This leads me to think that the "mirrorless" R1 could be the final puzzle piece where we see could soon see a majority of mirrorless Canon shooters at the most prestigious events in the future. That, to me, will be the final evidence of the mirrorless wave taking over with the "top level" professional photographers.
Thanks,
usern4cr! To be absolutely clear, I didn't say that mirrorless R5 worked better than mirrored 5Dm4. I said that it worked very well for me so that I can consider replacing my 5Dm4 with R5. I'm sure there will be situations when 5Dm4 beats R5. But R5 also has many advantages over 5Dm4, including AF eye tracking system (which I didn't have a chance to try, actually), faster electronic shutter, and size & weight. At the moment, I basically stopped using my 5Dm4 because it became very big and heavy for me. It sounds ridiculous, but I am often simply not allowed to use it in public places because security believe I am a professional photographer with a big black camera and ask me for a permit, which I cannot have. And when I am shooting wildlife, the weight of 5Dm4 becomes a problem for my arms, too. I am not a very young person. So I am looking for a replacement, but I would like to have same functionality. I was close to buying Sony Alpha, but something stopped me. I hope that having a mirrorless Canon, I won't lose much.
As for the tendency, I think we're moving there very fast. Mirrorless will replace mirrored pretty soon, like digital cameras replaced film.
