At the risk of starting an argument (which I don't want), I'd like to know how people who can use these cameras decide on which one. I presume that the primary reason is, as always, investment in lenses and familiarity with the beast that you next buy, and they are beasts that take a huge amount of getting used to.
I suppose the question comes down to the hypothetical - if you were starting out and you needed to decide the top line camera to take you into the future, what would you choose, and why?
I'll state my biases up front. I own 2 Sony A7R2 and a Canon 1DS Mk3, a Canon 5D3 and a Canon 7D2 and I will soon be getting a Sony A7R3. I see no reason why I would change from Sony, though I will still occasionally buy a Canon lens (eg the new TS-E macro lenses). I originally changed from Canon to Sony because Sony made me an ambassador, which is a pretty good reason to change, but since then I have had no inclination to go back and have collected a lot of Sony and Zeiss lenses. I know camera ambassadors are generally treated with huge amounts of scepticism, but I'm really not interested in selling Sony (I tried selling insurance when I was young and desperate - I didn't last long because I couldn't see why people would want to waste their money) .
