I can wait for Canon to match this. In fact a Canon mirrorless with the same specs would be great. Until then, my 5d3 will keep me happy enough. The landscape season is over until spring for this non snow lover anyway.
Yeah it\'s entering winter here soon so it\'s a bit late so I\'ll wait to see what Canon announces next year. However, I\'m not so sure they will be popping out with a cam with better DR next spring and even if they do what if it is an $8000 1DsX or something? What if it is 5 years more? At least with this there is a side option, one I might end up going for 2nd quarter next year.
What\'s with all this hibernation in the winter. It\'s a great time of year for photography. Sunrise up here is at 7:30, sunset at 4:30. No getting up at 4:00am for the sunrise and watching the sunset at 11:00pm as I do in the summer.
Sunrises are mostly too early no matter what and sunsets here are never remotely close to too late.
Mostly I didn\'t plan to spend this money now on camera stuff and spent it on other stuff already but since I do shoot a lot less during the winter season and thirst for DR during winter less often on average when I do shoot, I will just wait until a few months into 2014 to see what is announced from Canon, if anything, and am not too bothered.
I sure as heck could\'ve made use of it the last few days though. So, so many times I wished for more DR and more MP wouldn\'t have hurt any of the shots either although was not as critical of an issue. Had it come out three weeks ago, I\'d have been all over it.
