Re: EM1x + 300mmpro/1.4xTC vs. Sony A6400 + 200-600mm


I was an early adopter with the Canon 5D Mk II and I will be an early adopter again with the revolutionary R5.

Hey ... in terms of IQ and AF the R5 cannot be worse than the E-M1 II or E-M1X for that matter. And it doesn’t matter to me if the AF is still not as a good as the A9 or A9 II as Sony is not an option for me. I will sink or swim with Canon.

But the E-M1 II is not totally useless for BIF either. I took this shot with the MC-14 i.e. at 840mm.

Cheers,

Bobby, I know you are excited about the Canon R5. But before jumping with both feet, I would at least wait until there are some hands-on reviews from real users and not Canon ambassadors. It is the ambassador’s job to make us believe that the R5 is the best thing since sliced bread. I hope for you that it fully lives up to the pre-release hype. I am curious myself how well it performs in the hands of NON-ambassadors. Time will tell.
