My 5D2 is approaching the possible end of life and doesn't handle low light well, which was partly the driver for change, as well as wanting a lighter camera body that fitted my hands better. I decided against the CanonR mirrorless as I wanted in camera stabilisation, and I wasn't as impressed with the electronic viewfinder and autofocus as I was with the Sony.

Thanks Sara - sounds like you are chuffed to bits with it. Look forward to seeing you win some ribbons with this new camera soon - no pressure:)

I am such a slow learner I may just hold out for Canons future mirror-less offerings before I jump on the mirror-less band wagon. I am not in any rush as very happy with my 5D Mark III and IV

So far, really good. It is a bit of a learning curve though. The menu system is a bit clunky and over-facing, but the camera is really customisable, with 4 buttons, and various other controls that you can set to suite various styles of shooting. Moving from a DSLR, the electronic viewfinder took a bit of getting used to - the first time I tried it made me feel travel sick, but i am pretty much used to it now. The lens is amazing, but quite a big piece of kit (82mm filter size) though. I've had the camera out three times, and each time I find it easier - by mid May I hope it will be second nature. I also got a metabones adapter, so can use my Canon lenses for the time being, although I do plan on keeping my 7D2 for moving wildlife. One huge advantage over the Canon 5D2 and 7D2 is that the RAW files need much less processing - contrast, colour rendition etc are all far closer to what my eye sees, rather than the fairly flat images I've been used to.

I'll give an update in a couple of weeks.

I did notice you had a new camera and lens.

What do you think of it so far?
