New to canon mirrorless
2

The last canon I owned was a 35mm film camera. I have recently owned several fuji mirrorless and a sony mirrorless with several lenses with both as well as nikon dslrs. I got tired of changing lenses all the time so picked up a sony rx10m4. Love the camera but miss macro and wide angle, two areas where the sony falls short. Thought about getting another fuji but the 10-24 (I previously owned) is huge and expensive...as is the 80mm macro which I also owned at one point. Saw some good reviews on the canon 11-22 and the 28mm macro, and the m100 was fairly inexpensive so here I am. Just have the kit lens for now while I wait for the other 2 to arrive in the mail. I'll use the sony for anything telephoto, when af speed is needed and for video and the m100 for wide angle and macro. Took the m100 out today for its maiden voyage. I had read lots of reviews where reviewers referred to it as a beginner camera. After using it today, I gotta disagree. It does pretty well everything that all the previous mid range mirrorless and dslr cameras I owned did. The only thing different is I use a touch screen or menus to change settings rather than dedicated knobs. After shooting it today the SOOC jpegs are pretty lackluster I got to admit but man the raws clean up nice. I think Im going to like it! I had very few complaints with the fuji mirrorless gear I had as far as build quality or picture quality was concerned but dang it was a lot to lug around (the 10-24 and 80mm macro are large, heavy lenses even in dslr standards). Kind of defeats the point of going mirrorless.
