Why I Sold my Canon R5 

Your reasoning is perfectly sound. I've never particularly warmed to my EOS R and usually revert to one of my DSLRs or the E-M1X, but I've no intention of parting with any of my equipment. I do however ultimately find the images from full frame markedly better, unless it's sunny daylight, but to each his own. A word of advice: don't shoot at f/11 on micro four thirds unless you're deliberately aiming for a slow exposure. You know all about equivalence I'm sure, but in any case not one of the lenses by OM or Panasonic function at their best beyond f/5.6. Diffraction has often set in even before that. But anyway, I hope you go on enjoying your photography and it looks as though you will.

Just found your channel, enjoying your videos - I have an EM5.3 and love this system, maybe will update to a newer body soon. Congrats on video 100 also :)

Just taken delivery of my OM1 MK11 plus 12-40 f2.8 pro 11 lens to start and absolutely loving it. The amount of customisation you can do is pretty amazing and to be honest slightly overwhelming but the more videos I watch and articles I read it is getting easier. Loving your channel and your very calming delivery as you talk to your viewers.👍

You seem like a cool guy Dewey! Keep sharing and enjoying what you love doing in your life 👍

Nice sunrise! Thanks for sharing.

To each his own. Enjoy what makes you happy. For landscape photography I think sensor size does matter. MFT are nice cameras but they don’t match the image quality of a FF or MF when you really push it. I shoot predominantly birds etc so I use the R7 with long lenses. The IBIS, AF etc matters and I use EF L lenses I bought used. Great value and great performance. For the handful of landscape opportunities I feel like doing I am considering going the film and scan route… a LF camera with movements with a 6x9 etc back . Then scan and stitch 1:1 with the R7 and a macro lens back home. Cumbersome but awesome I think. Amazing for me to learn in my research on this is that modern sensors now exceed the dynamic range of film. A pity you can’t get a full size MF sensor at a price you don’t have to sell one of your children for.. I am fresh out of those.

Agree, Canon is not only locking people out of third party lenses but even the batteries too, which is no doubt a turn off to many photogs, particularly amateur and advanced amateur users that comprise a sizeable chunk of their sales base.

Thanks for your kind words. Enjoy the OM-1 Mark ll. It’s an awesome camera.

Thank you for the comment

I believe the old adage of “a change is as good as a rest” holds true in most hobbies, so if changing brands helps to re-ignite the passion then you should definitely do it!
