Hi there,
I’m going to tell you a story, please let me know what you think.
> I've been shooting weddings for about two years now. It's not my "real" job but I like it and I make some money out of it, mostly during summer.
> I'm currently using a Canon 80d + sigma 17-50 f2.8 and a Canon 55-250 stm, I also have a nifty fifty. Just what I used for travel before starting to do some gigs.
>The body is OK and I like Canon glass but the sigma 17-50 really struggles and sometimes I don’t get good results indoors / low light.
>I think it’s time to invest some money into my gear. Not just for the sake of it, but because I want to deliver better pictures to my clients (ISO performance is not ideal, anything over ISO 1000 tends to be a bit grainy) my budget is around 2500€/$2500 prices tend to be similar.
>I have four options as far as I know and I’m not sold on any of them so I’d appreciate your most brutally honest opinion.
>1st Stick with Canon: Glass is cheaper than other brands, huge lens selection and also good third party glass. – But the EOS R has a very low FPS which I use quite a lot during key moments. (one SD card is not a deal breaker for me, never had a card failure)
>2nd Go Nikon: Also great glass and not very expensive, really like the Z6 but oh man, those XQD cards are expensive, almost 200€ for 64Gb and I can easily fill 128Gb each shooting day so I’m afraid it’s going to end up being more expensive than the other options.
>3rd Switch to Sony- I like the A7 III and I’ve heard good things, but Sony glass is super expensive. I’d go for the Tamron 28-75 2.8 and wait until Tamron releases a 70-200 during the next century. I’m also worried that the E-mount is very small and I’ve no idea how that will impact future lenses.
>4th Stick with my current camera, invest on Canon glass and wait until Canon releases a decent camera that’s not going to break the bank (I’ll be probably dead by then)
Thanks!
