Why take a hit selling the xt3, it’s a superb camera. Get the 56mm f1.2, and just enjoy. Nobody will tell the difference whether the portraits were from a crop or full frame sensor.

That’s great to hear. Really torn now, either pull the trigger on this or xt3. The 6Dii is out of the frame now for me.

You’re welcome bro.

Carry that argument on and an iPhone is good enough. But there are two areas where an iPhone can’t compete, very shallow dof/separation portraits and zoom shots. For the former you need a fast lens ...

All that showed is that professionals worried about full frame, pixel peeping sharpness and rolling shutter, will want the Sony. But for enthusiasts or vloggers, the canon colours and contrast ...

Yes, I bought the Fuji x100F to just travel light and be free. And while it’s a great camera, I’m missing shallow DOF shots in particular and wider angle. Two big trips coming up, Walking Hadrians ...

You have the 6Dii, that should be able to keep with your grandson. :-)

Thanks. I ‘m used to handling Fuji raw files with x100F.

Jeez, just seen your gear list and you’ve got just about every camera there is for sale. So I guess your really would know how good the Fuji system is.:-)

Cheers

Is it the EX II and does it work OK? I’m just wondering whether the R will work with my old 580EX. In the manual it says it works with any ETTLII flash, which the old 580 EX is. But it also says ...

Thanks Greg. But I think it’s quite close on some features and more distant on others. AF is a big concern for me and I think the xt3 probably has a good lead on that front. I bought the x100f and ...

I’m thinking that’s what I’ll do. Get the xt3, 56mm and 16mm as a starter. Use the x100f I have  for walk around and sell off the canon glass. Many thanks.

Think you’ve summed it up pretty well.

Except I’ve been reading the R reviews and it also seems to have AF problems, such as eye detect not locking on, being able to accidentally move the AF point with your face against the LCD, no ...

Thanks for that. Yes 3.4 you’re right. No one system is better than another, they all have there pros and cons. The m4/3 kit can be an awesome tool and it’s very light compared to full frame.

You’re right, too big and heavy. The 6Dii is smaller and lighter.

I dithered over the 5Dii, but when I finally bought, I’ve stuck with it for 10 years. That’s why I want to make the right decision, can’t be arsed with putting everything on eBay and changing ...

Thanks

Read some good reviews about HDew, for sure. That review on DPReview really panned the AF, including the dual pixel AF, with the weaving cyclist. But real world people seem to be OK about it. Still ...
