>>3349277No joke, I was just about to switch to an a7iii. But the specs on this camera sold me completely:
-Portable mirrorless full frame (I’m so sick of traveling with DSLRs) that’s compatible with all my canon lenses
-Canon’s industry leading color science
-lenses that let you control the aperture with a special control ring on them (basically a digital aperture ring)
-small lenses to match the small body (Nothing I hate more than a mirrorless with a giant lens)
-ability to adapt my old lenses with perfect autofocus AND drop in filters
-Built in C LOG (better color retention for post-work than S-log)
-crazy amount of dots on the LCD for fine accuracy (2.1 million)
-eye AF (finally)
-great price
-28-70 f2 (guaranteed to become a wedding photography staple)
Also, OIS is infinitely better than IBIS, and the main issue with IBIS is that it can never truly be turned off. When you turn it off in settings, the gyroscope is trying to keep it still, but it’s still on a gyroscope. There’s a reason RED, Arri, Panasonic, and all other high-end cinema cameras don’t do IBIS: mechanically speaking, it’s better to stabilize at the lens.
That’s why the GH5s took it off. You’re paying extra over the GH5 to NOT have IBIS because IBIS has a ton of downsides no one ever mentions. Just look into how much faster IBIS sensors tend to get dirty and fail.
TL;DR great camera for traveling photographers than retains all of Canon's strengths while innovating in some very interesting ways
