It does some things well, but Sony’s current a7 models are more like a Tesla in comparison – check the Canon EOSĮver since the 5D Mark IV arrived with its dual-pixel autofocus, I’ve found myself shooting from the rear LCD more often than not. However, due to its finicky controls, odd ergonomics and laggy interface, you’ll miss moments, because the camera just can’t keep up. In short, when shooting with the Canon EOS R, your ability to hit focus and nail exposure increases dramatically over any dSLR I’ve ever shot with. The electronic viewfinder has its advantages over the optical, but Canon’s go at their first full-frame mirrorless, the EOS R, falls short in many areas.


However, with Sony forcing Canon’s hand, its inevitable that we’ll all one day be shooting mirrorless. I love its size, dual-pixel autofocus and for the most part, it does a good job of keeping up with my editorial approach to weddings. So where does that leave me, having been a Canon user for nearly 10 years now? I enjoy the 5D Mark IV. Now, it seems as if nearly all of my colleagues are jumping ship from Canon & Nikon to Sony. When Sony announced the first iteration of the a7 in 2013, not many photographers thought much of it.
