I have NO fear of ANY camera, no matter what sensor it has....well maybe the Holga. I may have a small fear of THAT camera...

lol

Wait-you can see me?

These kind of discussion are old like photography history. Bigger film/sensor, better quality. Nobody can change that. And like I say often, full frame is like m43 and APS-C the "poor man's" solution. Medium frame have the real magic.

…all I’m sayin’ is: don’t put unrealistic expectations on your gear and you will be quite satisfied with your images if you do your part…

one needs to understand the capabilities before buying into a system

that is realistic approach

for me, M has stagnated and I have skipped buying in to it

the release of the trio of sigma primes gave m a potential new life

but canon skipped the m5II which is a shame

Now, when the time comes that you need or want to produce work at a certain level-then find out what gear you need to meet that need and use it well.

research first and skip what will fall short

I didn’t buy a refurb M50 and EF-M 22mm f/2.0 expecting it to match the output of a 5D IV and my 135L….

But I have been impressed with the images it has taken and quite enjoyed using it…

Happy happy happy with the $700 I spent on it. Lol

my RP was $850 and is quite light to carry one handed with a wrist strap and goes well with the 35

MAC, I always appreciate your forum contributions…

I believe we are in full agreement. My original post was supposed to be directed “up the line” lol.

I wasn’t buying into a system, I was buying a mirrorless body with a better sensor than my SL1. The smaller lenses that are available for it, no matter how lacking they may be, are just icing on the cake.

Every EF lens I have used on my $300 M50 body has *at least* matched, and more often than not exceeded the performance when used with my SL1. As long as my M50 powers up I simply can not lose.

and this is with the M50. I can’t imagine how much more *interesting* the M6 II will be once those drop below $500 on the Canon Refurb website. Or perhaps an RP in a few months. Seems quiute capable of producing fine images from what I’ve seen.

Now, if I were approached and offered a paid gig I may start thinking about an R6.

But for now? I’m having a blast

all the best….
