I was thinking about getting a full frame Panasonic LUMIX mirrorless as they are great for video work, but expensive so might have to go used. I don’t smoke or drink and have no expensive vices, so maybe a treat, or wait for prices to come down second hand As you know, I use an Olympus mirrorless camera. The latest one was launched a year ago at £2000 and S/H same model can be picked up for around £700.

The bad news is.....The Canon R full frame Mirrorless cameras use a new lens mount (RF) and would require adaptors to use my existing (EF) mount lenses.

I would not want to have to use adaptors in between the body and lens and replacing all my glass to new RF versions will require a massive investment.
Two Canon R3 bodies and all the replacement lenses (even used) would be well north of £15,000.....It might have to wait a while

I might however consider getting a used R5 and an 85mm f1.4 RF mount lens for my cat photos and portrait work.
I'll keep the big guns for everything else.

All depends on how much work comes in though to justify it. Not nearly busy enough at the moment, only working three days a week on average!

Full frame will make a difference Phil. Much less noise at higher ISO settings and the files just seem to carry a little more dynamic range to them . I would think it will serve you well for video and for stills

Wish it was warm here Richard!

8c at the moment but feels much colder in the wind.
Was even colder yesterday.

Last Friday it was 22c and the weekend was nice too. Not now though

It's meant to be nice this coming weekend so fingers crossed
