[QUOTE="hark, post: 760710, member: 13196"] So were you hanging out with your amazing pro photographer brother who shoots Canon? :encouragement: In the past I remember he offered some of his Canon gear for you to use to help make a decision. You didn't jump ship then but at this point in time, you aren't as fully invested in Nikon mirrorless like you were with your Nikon DSLR's. And as you mentioned, the transition might not come with much, if any, additional cost after selling your current gear. I gotta say I've been impressed with Canon for quite some time now. Back when I purchased my first SLR, The Camera Store showed me three manual focus bodies (this was prior to bodies having AF). One was Nikon, one Canon, and the other Minolta. I remember the Nikon cost twice as much as either the Canon or Minolta. The store led me to believe Nikon was geared more towards pros at that time. But look how things have changed over the years/decades. [For the record, I went with the Minolta since it offered Aperture Priority and Manual. The Canon body was Shutter Priority and Manual]. Canon really delved into designing and manufacturing their products by offering some amazing features. Even Scott Kelby jumped ship from Nikon to Canon when Canon offered him a complimentary kit and showed him how the Canon body could be configured similarly to the Nikon. You really need to follow your heart with this one so you don't have any regrets. As was mentioned, it won't be a financial hit so the decision really depends on what you feel would work best for your needs. But before you make your decision, if it was your brother who let you use his gear, maybe see if he will do a temporary swap so you can try his setup for a week while he uses yours. ;) Honestly I can't find fault with jumping ship to Canon. So image-wise how does the Canon mirrorless compare to your D500 for wildlife? Granted that Canon lens is a bit slower, but how is its quality when viewing the images? :confused: [/QUOTE]
