I love this Canon body. I sold my original years ago and regretted it that same day! Tried to buy it back from the Buyer but he said "No way"! Got another that same day! It still produces a fantastic image file. Here I paired it with the EF180mm Macro.

Nice colours
Like you, I’m still struggling to let go of the dslr. As much as I love the eye focus technology and the WYSIWYG from the EVF
I still feel lost. I haven’t sold any of my dslr/ef stuff. I don’t want to let go. I’d sooner let go of the R gear knowing that future better models will be along very shortly, DSLR’s will never come back…end of a era 😔

I just purchased a 1DS MKIII, I can't wait to get it. I too am finding it hard to let go of the DSLR world and all my EF lenses.

Ditto
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it 👍🏻

I am perfectly happy with my 5DMK4 thank you.

Now I just need to make my travel camera choice. Leaning toward the Fujifilm X100VI. Will just shoot jpegs and the fixed focal length lens will take some getting used to. I prefer to stay with Canon but the PowerShot G7 X Mark III would seem to be the logical choice and I think its about 4 years old now...

I used to be all about the DSLR, but Canon full frame DSLRs all felt like bricks around my neck. I switched up to an RP solely to have a smaller (high quality, interchangeable lens, full frame) camera.

When you get yours, check for shutter bounce (over-exposed horizontal band across entire sensor) at speeds starting with 1/640th. I just sent one back to a seller that wasn't aware of the defect...

Ohhh...good to know! My camera arrives tomorrow. I'll be sure to check that out. Thank you for the heads up! Sorry to hear about your camera, hopefully the seller has a replacement for you?

I received my camera today, it looks to be in really great shape, no brassing , all rubber grips look new. Everything seems to be in working order. I didn't have too much time, but I took a few pictures. I didn't notice any banding at high speeds. I'll give it a real test this weekend. I do see some dust spots on the images , however it all seems to be working properly. Love the way the colors look and the quasi film look.

I've kept all my old bodies for the wrong reasons. I have a 1D MkII 1Ds MKII 1D MK III and a 6D in addition to my R6. Just couldn't part with them.

I got a lot of practice cleaning off sensor spots with my 1dsii. I heard the dust is so much more noticeable because the cover glass over the sensor is thinner or something like that.

Yes cleaning the sensor is a real pain..BUT I leave a lens on it all the time so I get very little dust. Plus Ps can get rid of it pretty well.
