Hey all,
I have a T5i that I have had since Fall of 2013. I really like what it does. I've gotten some amazing pictures out of it and I have a variety of zoom, range, macro, and fixed length lenses. I've previously had a T1i (motherboard went bad) and a T3i (stolen out of my veichle when I was a dummy and didn't take it into my house one night).
I usually shoot landscape, wildlife, and macro nature shots. Unless I'm on a photo-specific trip I often don't take more than one lens with me into the field. I'll take a range lens and enjoy my time outside and taking pictures is a second tier goal. When I am in photo mode I'll take a few options with me but never more than 2-3 lenses. I generally only used my fixed lenght lenses when I'm shooting portraits which doesn't happen that often anymore.
I'm looking to potentially change up my current set up for one reason and one reason only, weight. I sometimes struggle to want to take my camera with me becuase it is heavy and awkward and then I end up kicking myself because I want to be able to take better pictures than what my phone can take (always such a disappointment). I don't like wearing a big camera vest and the only comfortable way I have found to carry my camera for long hikes is either on a backpack strap clip or on a belt clip both of which can be cumbersome.
We have now come to my question. I was considering going to a mirrorless option to try and save 5-8 oz of weight (likely the EOS Mark 50, or EOS the RP) but I can't find any opinions on transitioning from DSLR to Mirroless. Is there a learning curve? Any thoughts or recomendations?
Sorry if this isn't the right place to post this question. I've lurked the forums for awhile but never posted.
Thanks for any insights.
