Re: 250D or 850D... or mirrorless?

Thanks for your reply, Ralph - it's very helpful. My son also agrees that the 850D probably isn't worth the extra.

I hadn't realised that not all lenses fit the mirrorless cameras, so that's good to know, particularly as we have some lenses already.

I'm not sure the reduction in size/weight of the M50 is too important for me, as the D250 is lighter than the D700 and I've managed that OK (apart from problems with stability with overhead shots). If I want to take a camera out on walks, or to have it slung over my shoulder while gardening or entertaining the dog I can fall back on my compact.

Ideally I'd get my hands in the different models and see how they feel, but that's not easy right now.
