Really good information. For me, as a professional who uses two EOS R bodies, if Canon put a second card slot in the EOS R, I'd be completely happy forever.
I totally agree with you. Although I have never had a problem with a memory card failure so far--and I no longer shoot weddings--even though when I did, I always had a camera that only had one card slot. Again though, never a problem. Like you I shoot mostly portraits and headshots so to me, while it would be nice to have two slots, it's not that big of a deal. @@CoffeeandPhotographyTalk
Hello Hayward, thank you for your insights and thoughts. I switched from Nikon Z6II to Canon R but I really missed the joystick, which is for me essential. So I had the opportunity to switch tomCanon R6 MKII, some can say this body is close to perfect for my experience and shooting style. And you are right with video. I‘m only shooting stills, no video. But the camera manufacturer think you need video ….. Have a great week. Best regards from Germany
This has me wondering if there's a possibility camera manufacturers might eventually take a modular approach. For example, I remember when I first heard of Dell computers and how, as far as I know, back in the day they were the only major computer brand to customize every order. I don't know that we'd see modular card slots to be added if someone wants to upgradetheircamera, but maybe offer a small selection of bodies (flippy screen or tilting?) with barebones firmware but charge extra for software features. Not everyone wants or needs bracketing, an intervelometer, or wave forms, but a customer could pay for these features as they grow into photography and video.
Your post about the modular design is interesting the only camera manufacturer that makes a camera system that is closest to a modular camera is mostly known for their lens products and that is Sigma.
Depending upon your needs and budget you can find a camera that will fit your needs, their are countless choices, part of the problem is that with the move to mirrorless cameras and away from DSLR'S, Budget cameras are harder to find, then depending upon what you plan photographing and the light that you will work in you need to choose a lens.worst case you can take photos with a phone, but because of how a phone works you won't learn much about photography, and then there's always the used market for camera equipment. But when buying anything used, buy from a camera store that can help you with your purchase, for 16 years I have used B&H PHOTO AND ADORAMA for new and used equipment.
As always, you’ve produced an excellent video here. However, switching camera angle to your right side for a fee seconds is distracting and adds nothing to the presentation. Straight on is fine
Amateur here, Actually I have an T7i with 3 lenses. I'd love to buy a mirrorless body BUT for example R50 fills most of what I need EXCEPT the digital hotshoe only, Even R100 and R10 do have the traditional one too. So, I would be forced to go for the R10 just for that particular case. "Nice to haves" on R10 ar the 3 dials an joystick.
I really find your videos super helpful! Thank you so much for taking the time to do them. I’m in the market for a new body. I’ve always been a Nikon shooter but have been looking at the Fujifilm line. I’m in my 40’s and have fallen in love with the retro style of the X-T10, 20 & 30 body’s. It just brings me back. Do you have experience with them and would recommend them for a amateur users?
I have not used Fuji sorry, but I know there are a lot of videos out there on them. As far as I know there’s no reason not to consider them if they have the features that work for you. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this. My z6ll has been on the fritz. My gh5 has gone out of wack. I'm seriously looking at the g9ll as my next camera, especially since they are updating their micro fourthirds lenses.
I thought my R6 mk ii would be my perfect camera, and then it locked up and froze in the middle of a shoot and I looked like an idiot taking the battery out and putting it back in. Apparently its a common but rare problem, and apparently its not just the R6 either. I guess like any other computer it can crash!
Great video, very informative. Rule of thumb on new, and even some used camera pricing starts with how many megapixels. Then camera build, solid construction, or the plastic feel, and feature set. What has confused me is most mid to higher end Nikon cameras are solid built machines. Heavy and just feel unbreakable, and could be used as a weapon if needed. Consumer DSLR Nikons mostly wrapped in high impact plastic. Canon. Many Canon bodies considered semi and professional level cameras seem cheap in look and feel to me. Plasticky. But these cameras turn out incredible images, like the Nikon cameras. So, Canon enthusiasts are more sold on results, features, megapixels more so than durability; while Nikon buyers are interested in the same, but also marketed to as NIKON: a titanium built, waterproof, feature loaded ROCK you can attach lenses too. This approach has worked for me. Nikon may market this way from the film camera days when Nikon had the reputation as a Journalist camera, in the field, dirt, muck, and wars.
I have the perfect camera (sorry it's a pricey one) Canon R3, it has everything I could possibly ever need in a camera, I will not live long enough to outgrow this one 🤣
Well this is gonna sound crazy, but it has too many megapixels for me. And it has a bunch a video features I just don’t need. Is it a great camera? Sure. But not perfect for me. Thanks for watching!
@@CoffeeandPhotographyTalk thanks for the video btw. Well, it has some unnecessary features that I will never use that’s true. But I see this way, It’s better to have something and not use it than need something and not have it. If they would cut few things out and get the price down it could be close to perfect camera than any other I used. Of course, it’s just my opinion. (Everybody want different things)
First of all, I would never buy one of those plastic cameras. Nikon is going to kick butt with this new camera coming out very soon. Pre-order now! Nikon Zf is the one friends. It is NOT very expensive at all...someone didn't do their research here. You can get pretty much all the pro features in a great camera for around 2 grand. Cheap and you will love it. Give it a whirl...Peace
It feels like the more features cameras have, the harder it is to find the perfect one!
I am very happy with my OM-5. It is not the perfect camera, but it is has everything which I need and it is fun to use.
Really good information. For me, as a professional who uses two EOS R bodies, if Canon put a second card slot in the EOS R, I'd be completely happy forever.
Right with you! And they will NEVER do it.

I think that idea has merit from the photographers side. Not sure how the manufacturers see it in terms of profit. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for that info; I'd not heard that about that camera!
@@CoffeeandPhotographyTalk Allegedly its gotten better with firmware updates, but I've had it happen twice in about 3 months, shooting daily.

My M6 mark II is the "almost perfect" camera for me.
I have the perfect camera (sorry it's a pricey one) Canon R3, it has everything I could possibly ever need in a camera, I will not live long enough to outgrow this one 🤣
If you love it and are ok with the cost then it is perfect for you! Thanks for watching!
what do you mean impossible, the perfect camera actually exists... called Canon Eos R5. (until Mark 2 released)
Well this is gonna sound crazy, but it has too many megapixels for me. And it has a bunch a video features I just don’t need. Is it a great camera? Sure. But not perfect for me. Thanks for watching!
