Hello everyone,
'New member and first post but it's rather urgent. I am considering purchasing a new EOS M6 with a 18-150mm STM lens in the kit for around $450.00. It seems a good deal and would be my first entry into the mirrorless category. Lifetime Canon user-apart from my first camera-Pentax Spotmatic which I still own and use. From there it went to the AE 1,A1 and now I've been shooting with a 7D with plenty of small pocket shooters laying about.
Should I even bother with this? I want something smaller than the 7D for carrying around on a day to day basis. Everything I've read seems fair;y positive and I'm not a very technically oriented guy. Pushing 60 and want to lessen my carry load. That's about it. Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!
It really depends on what subjects you are going to capture. One thing you may want to consider is that if you DO intent to get the M6, it might be worth getting the EVF. It's a lot easier to hold a camera with a telephoto lens *and at full extend your equivalent FL is going to be around 290mm. I would consider the M5 as well. I have one and it is very much the same performance as the 80D, which is a fine camera. The M6 is equivalent in many ways to the 90D, but I have the G3X and it too has the external viewfinder, which is clumsy and adds a lot of bulk.
cheers, TREVOR
