I upgraded from a Canon 5D Mark III. The camera is lighter, same handling and quieter. The reticulating screen is nice and protects the screen in transit. The readout of settings in vertical shooting adjusts and is easier to read. Things to note: I have small hands and the grip works for me. People with larger hands may want to test-drive or get the battery grip. There is no manual with the camera like the 5D – you need to download or buy one. The camera uses the C3 format and you need to insure you can convert this type of raw file. I use a standalone version of Lightroom and Adobe providers a converter. I use the adapter for my previous canon lenses – adds a little wait and length to lens. I appreciate the additional pixels. I am happy with my purchase.

Best of the best for various reasons: Great image quality at all but the top two ISO settings, performs better in low-light compared to any competition in its class or price range, actually rarely overheats if recording 8K video (which is almost as good as those RED or Phase One Medium Format that cost as much as a luxury automobile), average battery life, and the autofocus and image stabilization are outstanding. Almost nothing to complain about. Coming from the frustrating drawbacks over the years with Panasonic, Sony, and Fujifilm, even the cheapest entry-level Canon EOS Rebel outperforms some midrange Mirrorless and most flagship smartphones. Do not use old lenses from Canon because of the vignetting and fringing issues. You can get amazing results with astrophotography, absolutely amazing how even an inexpensive long zoom lens can get stunning details of the Moon. Five stars, possibly the best Canon Full Frame camera yet. The file sizes are gigantic, though, but hey, even older memory cards can be written 2-3 times faster than their rated bits per second due to the DIGIC processor (like an Intel Xeon, which is far from cheap). About 15 seconds of 8K video is 1 gigabyte. Same can be said for 11 RAW stills at the 45 MP, 12-bit uncompressed. You cannot go wrong with this good boy!

A great mirrorless camera. The images are crisp and clear. The dynamic range is spectacular. I switched from a 6D to this and had to get used to some of the differences but it was easy to make the switch. The 45mp full frame sensor provides larger files but the images are well worth it. I have used it with my Sigma Full Frame, Canon EF mount lenses with the Canon EF to RF adapter with the control ring. I set the control ring to handle the aperture like older film cameras. I have had no issues with the lenses working with this camera. I am not a video shooter so I cannot comment on the cameras video ability.
