If I ever get some paying gigs I would go full frame but I'm perfectly happy with my 80D until it dies it out a decade from now probably Honestly I just need to get out there and shoot more, but working and going back to school is sucking up all my time so for now I choose to live vicariously through the super talented people in the landscape thread

Just pulled the trigger on the sigma 18-35, the price recently dropped to $640 across the board and B&H has a $40 coupon code, YOUGO2BH running at the moment. Hella excited!

So tempting...I hear that a lot of Canon cameras have issues focusing with this lens. Can anyone confirm/deny?

Haven't had focus issues on mine, but I don't really use autofocus on it much at all. The times I used it for photos, AF worked well on my 6D, works well adapted on a Sigma adapter on an A7iii. I guess you can always buy the Sigma dock if you need to recalibrate the focus. I'm kinda spoiled where I can just drop any Sigma lens and a body off at one of their official repair centers here and they calibrate it for free. Haven't had the need to do that for this one though.

The USB dock comes with the lens from B&H which is nice! I've read in some forums that the 2.0 firmware alleviated a lot of the AF issues with Canon bodies also. I'll find out tomorrow how my copy is.

Help me decide between the M50 and the 77D I'm coming from a T3i and just like the newer features of the new cameras, by no means am I outgrowing it. M50: Compact, light, great still picture taking, can use my existing lenses with an adapter. Cons: a little weird to hold with bigger lenses, more cumbersome to change settings 77D: pretty much the same as my T3i with some new and added features (LCD, exposure control wheel, etc), can use my existing lenses without adapter, easy to navigate I'm leaning towards the M50 because I feel I would use it more due to how compact it is, but I love how easy my T3i is to navigate. he;p 77D New: $549 body only (I'd probably also pick up a Sigma 17-50mm lens) M50 Canon Refurbished: $519.00 w/ 15-45 kit lens (it has been about this price with an added lens before) Also considering just waiting until BF

What lenses do you have? Long zoom/telephoto lenses will balance much better on a DSLR body. The top plate lcd is also a major benefit if you're doing any kind of action-oriented stuff: wildlife, sports, street, events and such. It's super helpful to see your settings at a glance without needed to turn the camera.

Ef-m doesn't have a ton of lenses, but the 22mm is tiny, and it is not like there are lots of apsc prime lenses from Canon either. And there are the sigma 1.4 primes, which are not that small, but are good.

Yeah, Canon is finally getting with the program in terms of mirrorless but it's going to take them some time to catch up. I love my trusty old Rebel T1i but if it broke tomorrow I'd replace it with a mirrorless system, and it would be a Sony A6500 or A6600 not a Canon. The ergonomics and menu UX might not be quite as good as Canon, but that's more than compensated for by a sensor at least a generation ahead of what Canon can offer and very impressive in-body image stabilization.

I'm not sure I'd ever go Sony for aps-c. It's too much of a unloved child compared to their full frame offerings. The benefit of Fuji or m43 is they don't seem them as second tier offerings as Sony, Canon and Nikon have always done.

Yeah it sucks that Canon hasn't supported their apsc lens lineups nearly as well as full frame. At the moment, the 90D and M6ii seem more competitive against their Sony and Nikon equivalents than in previous generations.

Cost issue, mostly. Fuji seems to have a glaring lack of affordable lenses in some ranges (like ultra wide angle zooms) Also I'm just a shill for Sigma art lenses apparently

Define "affordable," the laowa 9mm ultrawide has a fuji mount and its an insanely good deal for $500. There's plenty of decent cheap options out there if you're fine with manual focus.

Does it really matter when you have every EF lens under the sun available of any weight and size - Let alone unlike with other adapters, the Canon EF-M to EF works flawlessly? If you want quality lenses, they are still going to be all fairly sizable no matter the mount soooo... EF is quite fine. The only real issue I've had is 100-400 L or above in size is more difficult to pan with on a M6 II. On the other hand, the new sensor is seriously impressive with the detail you can get.

The benefit of Fuji or m43 is they don't seem them as second tier offerings as Sony, Canon and Nikon have always done. The thing is, I'm not comparing mirrorless Sony APS-C to mirrorless Sony FF. I'm comparing to mirrorless Canon APS-C. Unless I'm missing something, I can't see an argument for Canon over Sony in this context.

Yeah I don't see what's so bad about Sony's A6xxx series bodies when they're still more feature rich than the Canon equivalent. Lens selection is pretty good now with a 16-55 2.8 and an assortment of Sigma APS-C primes. Hell, it wasn't even that bad years ago with the older Sigma primes and the Zeiss Touit lenses, plus Sony's old 35 and 50 APS-C lenses.

That if you're ditching Canon because the grass is greener elsewhere, Sony APS-C isn't as green as it gets. Yes Sony have nice sensors but they really want you to buy their full frame bodies and the aps-c suffer as a result. IMO if you a small sensor system, the Fuji or m43 grass is greener.

All depends on what your priorities are really. For me I don't want to go below APS-C in terms of physical sensor size, and I'm a fan of in-body stabilization over in-lens, so that strongly points Sony-wards. If Fuji ever adopt IBIS then they'd be a contender for me for sure, particularly now they seem to have ironed out some of the problems with the XTrans sensor filter.

I'm upgrading from a Rebel T3 to an 80D!  The T3 has been a great camera and still performs admirably, but I've been considering the 80D for a long time and found a good deal on one. I'm excited for all the QoL upgrades.

80d is an extremely good all-rounder. Your biggest problem with it will be it's close to four years old, and you run the risk of Canon announcing a successor next year. Can you resist the urge to upgrade again?

Yeah, moar MP and 4k video, but for nearly twice what I paid for the 80D, I don't think it's worth it. Plus, the savings can be put towards a Sigma 18-35 1.8
