Some thoughts about EOS M, EOS R and Fuji

Hi,

I've just read the review of the impressive Fuji X-T3 here on dpreview. Since I am a Canon shooter from day one, I usually don't look around that much. I try to focus on my technique, not gear. Well, kind of...

But the recent offerings made me think: I will almost for sure upgrade to an EOS R system to replace my 80D at some time in future. I will be able to use some of my EF lenses with the adapter and will buy into some new RF lenses - and sell my EF-S lenses.

Today, when I want to travel light I usually take my M5 with me. I never use adapted lenses because of weight and usability (large lens vs. small body). I much prefer my 80D if weight/size is no problem, which usually isn't.

Now, when I see these great reviews about Fuji X-T3 I wonder if I should think about ditching the M5 altogether. The Fuji is similar in size but offers way better video and FPS. And I love all those fast lenses Fuji offers. I suspect that we won't get near with Canon M-lenses, the M 32mm f/1.4 being the only exception.

Since EOS M and EOS R have incompatible mounts, there are diminishing benefits owning an M instead of another brand, like Fuji. So why not switch to Fuji?

Have you ever used the X-T3 or other Fuji cameras? What did you like/dislike in comparison to the M5 or other EOS M cameras?

Thanks!

I've an M3 and I am thinking about upgrading to the M5 or M6. I'm not really considering other cameras, good as some are, because my M3 produces great results, the 5 and 6 are better and I can use them with the same lenses I use on my DSLRs. I too will likely buy into the R system at some point, because existing lenses, and the M can remain a companion/alternate camera. At some point, that might become inconvenient. Don't see that being the case at least until Canon release an ultra wide R lens.
