I bought a Canon last year and I absolutely love it. I joke that maybe I got a QA sampler or something it's just too fucking nice for the $ I paid, compared to the alternative offerings from competing manufacturers. The images looks so amazing, and the live view remote use phone app (with access to all photo settings!) and wireless photo transfer are fantastic.

If you're looking for a starter camera to get away from the cheap "point and shoot cameras", and cellphones, but you aren't really ready for normal full body mirrorless camera price... check out the Canon EOS M200. I paid I think $640 for a starter kit with some tripods, extra lenses etc. The stock lens is great, although I've usually got an additional 22mm on it which I also purchased separately. I am serious when I say I wouldn't sell this for more than its worth, on the off chance that mine is special somehow.

Only gripes: 1) The flash is not great at all. The kit I bought came with an auxiliary flash but I've not tried to set it up yet. 2) there's no dedicated remote trigger input

But I mostly take photos of mountains or naked people so YMMV.

The real story seems to be Nikon falling behind.

Yea but how many PlayStations did Canon sell?

I was a Canon guy for 20 years, but I sold my Canon R5 and all my lenses last year. I’ve hate what Canon has become, especially with being so tight on the RF Mount and not letting any third parties make lenses.

I’m mostly shooting on Leica now, but my wife has a Sony a7 IV that I’ve loved using at times and I plan on buying a Sony A7 (IV or R V) at some point down the line. I think Sony is a much better camera than Canon these days.

So 7?
