but Mirrorless seems to be the way things are going.
Good afternoon all, I currently have a 70D with 10-18 IS STM & 18-135mm IS STM lenses. I have some cash put aside to upgrade to an 80D but Mirrorless seems to be the way things are going. So I have a couple of questions, would the M5 be a good alternative to the 80D? Would I be better off getting M lenses or an adaptor and using the ones I have? Are the M lenses any better than what I have? You thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank you
Thanks guys. Food for thought and fantastic images
haha the older I get the more I shake so I thought it would help a bit.The Canon M5 doesn't have in body image stabilisation for stills photography, only for video.
TBH if you always use flash then IS is not really needed anyway.

Ah that`s a bit of a bummer for no IS with stills, oh well, I`ll keep looking.
Thanks
If I were after a camera body purely for macro I would be looking at something with a smaller sensor like an Olympus or Panasonic. They will give you much more depth of field plus they have in body stabilisation. Again noise shouldn't be an issue if using flash and I imagine you can get an adapter for your Tokina although it will probably be manual focus only (but then most people use MF anyway)

Damn! that's close!M5 and MP-E 65mm
Damn! that's close!
I'd seriously thought about an MPE, but in the end I went for the 100mm IS upgrade from the USM
That arrived yesterday, I got a few shots off with it, and I have to say I'm impressed with combination.
M50 + 100mm IS L Macro lens
I agree but I doubt I have the patience TBHThe MPE is a pain to use but can produce excellent pictures when you get it right
I have a gripped 7DII and I was beginning to find it "difficult" mostly due to the weight hence the M50 macro set up. I like itI found it good on the 7D but I think macro is so much easier on a mirrorless body.
What I do is before I "water" I squirt a few drops of water onto and around the plants.while I was doing that the wife has watered all the plants and in the process drowned all the insects.
Can't really help TBH.I've got the 15-45 and 18-55 lenses. Is the 18-135mm a bit improvement in iq and focus speed over these?
Not long joined the M series gang with an M5 I got from here. I've got the 15-45 and 18-55 lenses. Is the 18-135mm a bit improvement in iq and focus speed over these? I appreciate it's a bigger lump than the two I have and I'm fine with that. Also looking at the 55-250 for something a bit longer. It's a real one of the other at the moment hence the question on the 18-135 for s better Walkabout lens.
That's the version I was looking at, also wondering what the Tamron 18-200 is like and is it substantially different to the ef version to warrant the price increase.
Looking at most images taken with the Sigma, I'd never swap my 100-400 II for that.I wish I had kept the 100-400mm MKII and sold the Sigma instead I think.
I tried my 100-400 MKII and the 70-200 MKII 2.8is on my M50.Balance on the M5 is rubbish anyway though.
