Re: Preferred mirrorless future

I sold all my DSLR gear, everything, and bought an EOS M because I was fed up with the size and weight of my camera equipment.

When I would go abroad my entire hand luggage was camera equipment and by the time I reached my destination my shoulder muscles would be aching like a b#*tch. Likewise, after a whole day shooting my left bicep would also tell me to pack it in. For me my camera equipment became an inconvenience and a burden and I found myself just not bothering to take my camera anywhere anymore. That's when I decided to buy an EOS M with a 22mm prime, which is small/light with a decent sized sensor and have never looked back. A bit like an assassin going from a sniper rifle to a knife.

So to answer your question, I am happy with the image quality and the depth-of-field APS-C sensors give, therefore if using an APS-C sized sensor instead of a 35mm sensor means smaller and lighter bodies and lenses, then I will obviously choose APS-C every single time without fail. However, when I think back to the 35mm film days, there were small compact camera's that used 35mm film perfectly well, so if a full-frame mirrorless camera meant something like an Olympus mju-ii just with a 35mm sensor instead of 35mm film, then sure. EF lenses however, nope, I'm glad to see the back of them.
