Sadly it's time to go for me.

I had the original 6D and it was and still is excellent but my work has meant I need a more hybrid stills/video camera. I have been waiting for a suitable Canon and sadly it's never come. I have to ask how long must I wait? I waited for the 5DIV and was let down. I waited for the 6DII and was massively let down. I said I'll wait for their FF mirrorless and I was let down once more. Years of let downs is something I don't fancy waiting for anymore.

What has surprised me about all this waiting is how different the attitudes of each company are. Just compare the Fuji X-T3 and Sony A7III release compared to the Canon EOS R release. Those companies fill me with more confidence for the future. Sadly long gone are the days of the 5DII and 550D Canon.
