Hello everybody!
So, I have decided to buy a new camera and start getting serious about photography, like, real serious.
I currently own a Fujifilm Finepix HS25 EXR. I have used this camera for some years now and it's pretty old. Fujifilm doesn't even make them nor support them (as far as I know) anymore. The camera is starting to shut off on me randomly even when I put new batteries in it and some of the features do not work.
Now, I know you guys get these types of questions a lot yet, I am curious what you guys think. I have been researching cameras for a few weeks now and have somewhat come to a decision. The brand I chose to go with is Canon. It was close between Canon, Sony, and Nikon, but for various reasons I chose Canon. I then began trying to figure out if I wanted to go DSLR or mirrorless. So after much research and thinking on it, I chose to go mirrorless, again, for numerous different reasons. That pretty much narrows it down to a few cameras lol.
This is where you fine folks come in. My two main choices came down between the R6 and the R5. Both of these cameras are great cameras and do a wonderful job. I was leaning a bit more towards the R5 because of the dual card slots (one of which is the CFexpress) and the 8k recording ( I am aware of the unfortunate heating and file size issue).
Ok, so, with that being said I have now come into a bigger problem so to say and that problem is..... The R3. While learning more about Canon and their mirrorless cameras I have recently found out about the R3 and possibly the R1. When choosing between the DSLR and mirrorless cameras I was leaning heavily towards the 1Dx Mark III, but for different reasons, I chose not to get that one. My apologies I am kinda babbling on lol.
Here is my question or questions. Should I just go for it and get the R5? Or should I maybe wait and see what comes of the R3 or even the R1?
What are your guy's thoughts on the R3/R1? I'm really excited for the R3/R1, but at the same time, I want to get a new camera SOOO bad right now lol. I can wait if I have to because the camera I purchase will be the camera I will be using for years to come and I just want to make sure I am making a good choice and don't regret it later (like waiting for the R3/R1 and not getting the R5 and vice versa). Thanks for taking the time to read my post. Take care!
