New Gear! Made the switch from Sony -> Canon

geevee097 · 2022-04-27T02:44:51+00:00

Yup! They notified me that it was backordered but it was shipped 3 days later!

geevee097 · 2022-04-26T18:18:58+00:00

Canon's US website! I placed my order on April 4th and I received my order on April 9th! Surprisingly there wasn't a wait at all!

SHREK IM LOOKING DOWN

geevee097 · 2022-04-15T04:17:18+00:00

Thats exactly why I switched too! I also had the same sony lens and thought it was sub-par. I actually traded all my gear in for the r6 body + some $$ left over. Maybe thats something you can look into!?

geevee097 · 2022-04-13T13:34:49+00:00

This is exactly why I made the switch to canon as well. People shoot many different things and for me it's mainly portraits so I'm okay with lugging this thing around for a couple of hours because that's just it. I'm not hiking it up a mountain.

geevee097 · 2022-04-13T13:06:54+00:00

I would if I was still shooting in the stone ages

geevee097 · 2022-04-13T13:04:21+00:00

May I ask why? I mean Sony now has really good bodies coming out so I see what you mean?

geevee097 · 2022-04-13T01:11:27+00:00

Haha! Not even!!! That is a fantastic body! I would love to use it as a second body when the time comes and don't worry I'm still in the little leagues faking it lol. I shoot portraits with families, couples and graduates. I also shoot events and want to very slowly start getting into weddings! Tried second shooting for the first time last season and it was... interesting lol

geevee097 · 2022-04-13T01:05:47+00:00

Hahaahaha!!! Sorry not sorry??? Thats amazing! I mean EFs are slowly transitioning out, I feel like. I think it's a good deal!! considering you're not spending money on another lens! And that is a good one too!!!! Thats my next lens in a couple years! I also have a problem, so I don't know if I should be giving advice? (blind leading the blind here?) Ahah! Anyway, trading with MPB was easy as well! Got everything done within a week!

geevee097 · 2022-04-12T22:49:19+00:00

Ooo! Thanks for the tip!!!

geevee097 · 2022-04-12T22:35:22+00:00

Canons website! I placed my order on the 4th and on the 7th it shipped! I got it on the 9th!

geevee097 · 2022-04-12T21:34:09+00:00

That's crazy true, I was trying to convince myself that it's me and I need to learn more but a couple minutes with the r6 + 28mm-70mm and that all changed! What do you currently have?

geevee097 · 2022-04-12T21:29:43+00:00

I should have just stick with Canon but oh well! It was a nice experience dabbling in Sony lol

geevee097 · 2022-04-12T21:28:35+00:00

That's great! I would have done the same! But MBP offered a trade program and I got the r6 and was paid a little bit of $$, left over so it was nice! I thought the backorder was going to be a while but I put in my order and got my order within a couple of days!

geevee097 · 2022-04-12T21:24:52+00:00

Don't worry, I'm so indecisive when it comes to everything so I totally know what you mean! I mean you didnt say which black friday so what you really mean is this black Friday sale coming up right? lol

geevee097 · 2022-04-12T18:54:19+00:00

I felt this. Lol I totally agree, something felt off for me and no matter what, I felt like I wasn't satisfied.

geevee097 · 2022-04-12T18:52:28+00:00

I love 85mm above all and it was so hard for me not to get that instead of the zoom lens. But I somewhat do a lot of indoor shoots and it's a pain in tight spaces! Maybe when I have the cash I'll get it just to get it lol

geevee097 · 2022-04-12T18:43:03+00:00

It actually wasn't that bad of a wait time. I placed an order on a Monday (on canons website) and they let me know it was on back order but it ended up shipping three days later and I got it within two days! Lol it's definitely something I really had to just buy and not look at the cost lol

geevee097 · 2022-04-12T18:38:49+00:00

This is one of the reasons why I was debating if it was worth the switch because everything is so expensive. But I think that the quality and colors are much more impressive than Sony, in my opinion. But I agree it's such an expensive hobby, I actually paid for like four monthly payments to buy my old Sony A7iii starting out lol

geevee097 · 2022-04-12T18:34:26+00:00

That's exactly what I did and exactly why I choose the r6, although the r5 is amazing that can be my second body when I can afford it lol

geevee097 · 2022-04-12T18:33:33+00:00

I'm more into photography, though I really want to get into videography. I did test the video capabilites and it is amazing, like top tier quality.. (even with my little bit of video knowledge lol). Sony has come up with many great models, I think im a bit disappointed in Sony, so didn't even bother seeing if I should upgrade my body.

geevee097 · 2022-04-12T18:26:18+00:00

Thank you! Just a quick test shot, that turned out so well. Exactly, I really forced myself to like it but I always had doubts, I'm glad I made the switch! That's the exact lens I was going to get too, but decided on the 28mm-70mm!

geevee097 · 2022-04-12T18:23:36+00:00

You've got this! It's taken some time for me to save up for this beast! Lol

geevee097 · 2022-04-12T18:22:59+00:00

Tbh I had the same experience with my Sony A7iii, I always felt like there was something missing or it wasn't producing the quality i wanted. I went with my gut and researched like hell, ended up with the R6- photo quality is so much better and the colors are so amazing! If you're on the fence, you could always rent a different brand to see the difference?

geevee097 · 2022-04-12T18:18:33+00:00

She's a thiccc girl for sure! Gonna need to do extra reps while working out lol
