Hi Chris! You said:
"Arthur, I think the point Brigtcolours was making was that with the larger format you can stop down 2 stops to match the dof of mft (and increase iso by 2 stops to match exposure and noise)."
Yes I think he was / you are making a valid point. It is the same reason I still have a Canon DSLR. And maybe I will be more clear if I relate a recent experience. I am walking along the coast and a guy sees the white lens with the red ring on my 70D. We talk for a few minutes - mostly about his camera - a $3,200 Sony fullframe mirrorless plus an $800 85mm f/1.8 Carl Zeiss lens.
I certainly don't want to step on any toes but you can buy some nice EF lenses at that length and speed (or better) Or easily something like the 7D Mark II and a 50mm f/1.4 or better. Mirrorless cams do have certain strengths, but when you look at the great lenses out there for the EOS system I don't see any reason to buy into the DSLR format mirrorless cameras.
I think Canon and Nikon have outflanked Sony et all. When you can get more from the Champions then you can from the challengers for less money...I just don't see it. And yes, that Sony / Combo is surely capable. But at such a price!
