From DSLR to Mirrorless: A Behind The Scenes Look at Why I Made The Switch!

If you’ve following me on social media, you’ll realise that I recently switched to the Canon R6 from my trusty Canon 5Dmk3!

If you know me at all, you’ll know that I am SO not a tech nerd - I don’t really keep up to date on when new cameras come out, I certainly don’t race to buy the latest models, and when looking at specs I’m only interested in whether a new feature will help me take better photos or not!

So today I wanted to take you behind the scenes of my thought process and go through the key differences between these two cameras, and ultimately why I switched. 

I appreciate that you probably don’t have the same camera as me, or even want the R6 specifically, but regardless of which camera model you have, I think this this video will still be really interesting for you if you’re thinking of upgrading!!

It will show you what you need to think about when upgrading, and how to compare cameras, so you can decide what is the best option for you….whatever manufacturer or model you’re looking at!

You’ll find links to everything we mention in the video, plus extra resources that I think you’ll love under the video.

Hope you find this behind the scenes peek interesting!
