I don't blame you

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.

I don't blame you at all and I know how you feel. I had heard that this new Canon ML does not have IBIS and that was incredible for me. I just cannot understand why Canon did this. They are definitely smoking something up there.

Then just barely a few minutes ago I saw Froknowsphoto preview and this Canon and it doesn't have a JOYSTICK either??? Canon is definitely smoking something. That's just not right.

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.

Yeah I agree. Fuji doesn't give you FF and do not expect FF quality out of the XT3 but yes with Fuji and Sony I feel that you do get a lot more. On the next round Sony is going to come out with something even better. I'm 100% sure of that. Sony is King of FF ML and they are not going to let Canikon take that away from them.

I currently have Nikon glass so it is hard for me to just leave to Sony but If I was starting fresh I would go Sony. Second choice Nikon for FF but for me XQD cards are just too damn expensive.

This new Canon ML does look very nice and very well built, I like the look with those red striped Canon lenses. That's about it.
