After 8 years with my Canon 70d crop and Canon 17-55mm F/2.8 lens - they are finally sold
, and a shiny new Sony full-frame A7C and Sony 35mm F/1.8 lens is on the way
The 70d produced some stunning images, but was annoying to carry around. When walking around with the camera connected to a neck strap, I had to cradle the lens with one hand because if I didn't, the weight of the lens would pull the camera down at and angle and press into my lower chest area, and it felt uncomfortable, and would bounce up and down as I walked. The camera wasn't too heavy, just more annoying than anything.
Another thing was my Google Pixel 3a would sometimes produce better images. Especially in awkward situations like a backlit subject. That Google software is very, very clever. It can't cope with fast moving subjects in low-light though - like my 4-year-old running around the house. Also, by the time I've removed the phone from my pocket, switched into camera mode, I've lost that special moment, so nowhere near as quick as having a camera around my neck.
I've also been playing with the free version of Lumina Ai photo editing software. It's far, far better than Faststone Image viewer that I was using previously, and so easy to use. It does seem to be a CPU hog though and slowed my Ryzen 5 3600 desktop PC down at one point (A restart fixed it though). Highly recommended for someone that can't be arsed to learn Photoshop, but wants better results than the free software out there.
I've been reading lots of reports of Sony colours not being as good as Canon (Canon users regretting the change to Sony), and looking at example videos and pictures, that is true in some cases. I nearly bought the crop-sensor Canon EOS M6 MK2 purely because the colours often look better - but the auto-focus of the Sony A7C sticks like glue to the subject (when using the correct settings), and the dynamic range is awesome. The way software is going, I think exposure and colours will be an incredibly easy fix in the future (I'd put money on it being one-click in the not so distant future), so I think accurate focus and dynamic range are more important. Youtube photographers are now selling templates for Luminar Ai that will convert Sony colours to something more like Canon - not that I would suggest anyone pay for a template, but it shows it can be done.
