" ... I upgraded from a Canon T3 and did a lot of research to decide if I needed a new lens or a new body (apsc/full-frame - dslr or mirrorless). ... Reuse my lenses EF and EF-S. ... Choice of glass if I decide to get some coveted "L" series lenses. ... "L" vs. "Non-L" comparison: I saw that many recommend getting an "L" series lens. ... The first photo of the red throated hummingbird was taken with a rented "L" series 70-200 f/2.8 IS II lens. ... The second photo of a cardinal was taken with the Canon 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Lens (non-IS) lens. ... For now I am happy with the results and may invest in "L" series or other Tamron/Sigma lenses to step it up. ... "

" ... Awesome wildlife body. ... "
" ... Using on a food blog with low f stop fixed lenses. ... "
" ... It is fast and with its crop-sensor it gives some extra length with any fast lens. ... It is a great sport/action and very robust camera and I use it in combo with my EF-L 70-200 F2.8 II IS and the EF-L 100-400. ... "
" ... An other extraordinary addition to my canon kit. ... Used with the 100mm macro yields 160 mm focal length ... Good portrait lens used at distance for stealth street work. ... "

The optimum exposure meter that used to be in the bottom of the screen is now to the right side of the screen and it is not very bright and you have to struggle with it to see if you are at exposure you want or not. ...
