Lets talk camera's.

Modern mirrorless have left those two behind. Times they are a changing. If you have old lens from film age you could make a case for a new body, otherwise you might be miss informed. You know what bayer vs x-trans is? DSLR just to big and clunky yesteryear. Sensor is larger buy that may not matter anymore.

Fuji X Trans Sensor vs Moire - YouTube

For me the only advantage of the mirrorless is it's size, which is great if you're traveling. If you're into serious photography then I'd still go with a DSLR. Bottom line is...at the end of the day with the availability of high res sensors and onboard processing, 95% of all users wouldn't notice the difference between a "general" picture taken with a FX DSLR or high quality point and shoot. It's when you want to deal with shooting at extremes that the larger DSLRs will shine.

More detailed testing of the X-Trans sensor. Maybe not all that's it's cracked up to be...

X-Trans vs Bayer Sensors: Fantastic Claims and How to Test Them

Did you read the tests, they had to synthesize the filters over the X trams because they can't remove it from the bayer sensors. In other words they simulate the results of the X trans to/then compare. You think that's real. There's lots of money riding here, a lot of people don't want to find out one company has the better sensor, and own the technology. I understand the heavy pressure to assure and show otherwise. A lot of people just assume it's Nikon/Canon and unless they have lens already owned making a dollar decision straight up, they'd be smart to look around... Nikon/Canon are running on name alone at this point, Sony, Panasonic, Olympus, Fugifilm, are innovating and surpassing them right before your eyes. I'm not anti Nikon, the big rumor and announcement from Nikon is they are developing a mirrorless camera, they have to or be overtaken, which may already be the case. The next generation of the Df is due out its been almost 5 years since its introduction. I might buy a mirrorless Nikon if they make a good one, if it has a full sized sensor I be real interested. I have a few Nikon lens lying around from film days too.

Both sensors were synthesized to produce raw images to eliminate the digital processing, to essentially get unfiltered data to compare. They'll be biased arguments for and against each depending which direction you lean...no different that "Liberal" and Conservatives" views on any subject. Just evaluate the latest available data and draw your own conclusions. Me, I'll take a "Full Frame" over a "Cropped" any day.

I use a Nikon D800 and she who must be obeyed has a D300S, normal lens is 24-70 f2.8 on both and we also have sackful of others such as 70-200 f2.8, 100-300 f4, 11-16 f2.8, 50mm f1.2, 50mm Macro f2.8, 100mm Macro f2.8 and my 50-500 for wildlife.
Also have two extension tube sets, ringflash and SB600 flash as well as studio strobes.
When we are sailing or kayaking we use a Nikon 1AW1 which is waterproof to 15metres, not overly impressed with the quality but after SLR's I am probably being too fussy.
Attached image is from the 1AW1

Your canon arsenal sounds almost identical to mine!

We used to do horse event photography and the 70-200 and 100-300 offer the same result due to one being a full frame camera and the other miniature.
The rest we just picked up along the way as I enjoy macro work with either the macro lens or the extension tubes
SWMBO loves orchids and shoots them, I have a fascination for spiders and do much the same, we both enjoy wildlife
Took this one a couple of months ago while sailing past a seal colony.

Very interesting concept! Sample images are beautiful...but a steep price tag of $1950. OUCH!
We'll have to see how unit sales look in 6 mounts.

Yes, very interesting. Look forward to learning more.

One of the silliest websites I have come across. The camera could be interesting though. I am surprised 3D cams didn't develop more. (become more popular)
