>>4476629I would like to buy a body but nothing is favorable enough to bother. I don't know why everything has topped out at 24MP for most shit, but since it has most consumer options would be the same resolution so I don't really see the point of spending money to do it. Mirrorless features would be nice for manual lenses but unless it was very cheap it would be a detriment on non manual lenses since I'd be using EF mount glass on it anyway. The R100 actually sounds appealing from Rockwell's review of it being the lightest and smallest mirrorless interchangeable camera with a viewfinder, basically what m43 temps me with once a week. If it was $299 like old slick deals listings show I'd get one as a walk around body.
Then the old pro options are lower resolution like the 7D or full frame being a detriment for getting more focal length. Every listing for a pro body is expensive,bad shutter, bad condition or some combination. From what I hear I wouldn't mind trying a 5D or 5D II as a second body for doing non telephoto, but for what I'd be willing to pay like most every listing I see mentions shutter issues so I assume most that aren't high priced low shutter closet queens are aging out.
I was going to look at a 5D IV that had enough in lenses that I could probably zero it out and get it for free if I sold them, but it was the typical online listing shit of it's been up for 9 weeks with no buyers and as soon as I ask more than one question it sells and it was very far away.
Like with lenses I just check most days on the off chance I find something favorably priced or I can part out and make money while keeping the one thing I want.
I wouldn't mind branching out into other brands or systems to try out but 90% of everything is Canon consumer DSLR's with kit lenses so after the initial rush of getting my initial lenses it's been pretty boring.
