After a lot of back and forth, I finally decided to pull the trigger on upgrading to a mirrorless system! This was a hefty $8K investment, so I’m committed to getting back out there and creating more. Since I already had Canon gear, I went with the Canon R5 Mark II—a beast of a camera with 20 fps shooting capability.
Here’s what I picked up to complete the setup:
• Canon R5 Mark II Full Frame Camera
• Canon RF 24-105mm f/2.8L IS USM – a fantastic all-around lens
• Canon Mount Adaptor EF-EOS R – so I can still use my EF lenses
• Canon LP-E6NH Lithium-Ion Battery – for some extra power
• SanDisk 512GB Extreme Pro CFExpress Card Type B – to keep up with the R5’s speed
With this setup, I’ll be able to shoot high-speed frames without worrying about storage lag. I’m especially looking forward to testing out the RF lens at f/2.8 for versatile shots and, of course, slowly building up my RF lens collection over time.
I’ll be posting updates as I get out there and start putting this new gear to work. Stay tuned!
