SLR to mirrorless? Any regrets?
« Reply #30 on: March 29, 2019, 03:55 PM »
I went mirrorless in 2011, previously having been a Nikon SLR, then DSLR user, with a 4 x 5” large format camera for nature shots.

Got a Fuji X 100, which rekindled my love of photography. Afterwords, while on a trip in Japan, sometime in 2015, I picked up an X-T1 in a photo store there, and  upon return to the states promptly ordered one from B&H.

The X-T1 is my workhorse. Have the 14/2.8, 23/2, and 35/1.4 primes and love the setup. Still small and manageable, the image quality is off the charts, and if I have to travel real light, just grab the 23mm. The Fuji film simulations are to die for!

I recently tried the X-Pro2, but it didn’t fit right in my hands, and the optical viewfinder felt a bit gimmicky.

Have no regrets about leaving DSLRs behind.

I went from Canon 5d and 1d mk2 to Fuji x 100 and I never looked back. Portable, solid and great image quality. Got it while visiting Hong Kong before it was available in US/ Canada. The only thing I would change in it, is to allow to change the lens.

I went from a Canon AE-1, to a 20D, and a few months ago I was looking at upgrading to  5D MkIV. A Pro photog friend recommended I look at mirrorless, and ended up with an EOS R and the 24-105 F4/L. Family surprised me with the 35 mm Macro F1.8 for Christmas, loving it so far.
