My Switch from Sony Full Frame to Canon EOS M! ;)
16

I consider myself to be a Pro Photographer in that I'm a professional wilderness guide and host a festival. I switched from Micro Four Thirds to Sony Full Frame and had two Sony A7Rs and a backup A6000. The downside to Sony was their Raw Files and their questionable Jpeg output especially when I like to underexpose my images; I was getting strange banding in sky gradients. So, I wasn't happy with this issue and it constantly haunted me when I shot Sony.

I switched to the Canon M50 and have been enjoying it ever since; It feels like such a great compromise since switching. I run two large Instagram accounts on IG and the plug and play workflow with the camera's wifi is so simplified and easy to use. I skipped Nikon and Fujifilm because they are dragging their feet on certain features like this. All I can say is I have two M50s now and just ordered an M100 kit from Adorama! Canon has their shiz together!

So for people hesitant to hop on board; I can highly recommend Canon EOS M for advanced pros and amateurs alike! I used to hate Canon for their marketing hype to overnight pros but the tech in the Canon EOS M lineup will mature and it's here to stay I believe so don't buy into the FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, doubt) spread by it's critics. Most of the reviews I've seen against the M50 have been pretty unfair too. The camera shoots incredible stills and the latest EF-M 32mm F1.4 STM is my favorite lens to shoot with and I also have the Zhongyi 35mm F0.95 and both are good lenses with the Canon being sharper and more fun to shoot wide open. The Speedmaster is more of an art lens that requires slowing down but it's great in its own merit.

My line up so far is:

2x Canon M50s

Canon M

Canon M100 (on its way)

Canon EF-M 32mm F1.4 STM

Canon EF-M 22mm F2 STM

Rokinon 8mm F2.8 II Fisheye (love this lens)

Canon EOS-EOS M Adaptor with 50mm F1.8 STM
