We just got a dental microscope, so I've been looking at cameras again for work to hook into that.
The full frame dslr's are too much for the dental scope- so I ordered an older cropped 50d camera for work- which is plenty- but- this process as always opens up the rabbithole.
My current 5Diii has a short and drains the batteries, even if off- so it needs service.
There's a 5dsr for sale nearby as well, and I'm thinking about that too.
Seems like that's the ticket for stills, and bulb photography and such.
The 5dIV doesn't have the megapixels of the 5dsr (at 30) but seems to have better video and low light use.
Then, mirrorless, the R5- my god, the autofocus on that thing is amazing, with 40 megapixels it tracks the eyes with about 10 bazillion focal points. It's like squirrel hunting with a heat seeking missile.
It's like the companies provide so many models on purpose to make the consumer insane with choices.
I saw a 5DIV on FB yesterday for $1500, spoke with the person, but have not heard back. I'm almost thinking scam at this point. They are at very least squirrely.
On CL is a $1200 grey market 5Dsr with low useage. I'm concerned the camera's low useage was because their other cameras were more versatile for day to day/wedding/ type stuff.
I'm wondering if I should pick them up, or pony up for the 5r and be done with it (for the next 5 yrs or so)
To many choices!
