Switching to mirrorless has been on my mind a lot lately and looking for advice on what direction I should go. I don't do photography professionally, it's just a hobby.
Started with a D60...there wasn't really any mirrorless cameras out then I don't think and then the D7000 came out and used that to the point buttons starting falling off, grip peeling off, etc. Then I decided it was time to go full frame and got the D610 which I really love using, it's a fantastic camera. But lately, I don't feel like bringing it with me anymore..just tired of the weight and bulkiness.
I was at an event last weekend with the D610 and 70-300 VR and half way through the day, I ended up bringing it back to the car because I couldn't stand the weight anymore. I don't know how you guys do it with the D800/d4 + 70-200. I have much respect for photographers that carry that much weight for 8 hours. Its just extremely uncomfortable for me and because of that, I makes me not want to photograph anymore.
I can deal with my D610 and a small prime like a 35 and 50...but it's not ideal for everything.
If I go mirrorless, I know I'd be sacrificing AF, ISO and battery performance..but I think its something I can deal with. Many have with the XT-1, X-Pro and XE-2.
I'm just really lost right now..today there are sooo many options when it comes to cameras. I really want to enjoy photography, not have it become a PITA.
