I've always used dSLRs but am contemplating moving from my current Canon 5dii to a mirrorless in the hope of getting some faster sharper auto focus.I would probably prefer to get a 5Div but they're quite expensive for how old they are now. Thinking about an r6 mirrorless if I can find one at a reasonable price. I've never used a mirrorless before. For those that have transitioned across, how do you find using them for skating and photography more generally? Are you finding your EF lenses (for Canon users) work OK?[close]I had a 5D mark 2 and that focus system is just terrible, especially at night when shooting like concerts. You might see a significant upgrade from just that to the Mark IV but when it comes to focus systems, mirrorless is really the way to go. The catch of the mirrorless setup for say Canon is the RF lenses pair so much better then an EF lens with an adaptor that you have to upgrade almost all your equipment which costs a ton of money. I think for someone say shooting portraits, you can get away with adapting EF lenses but bird photography is literally one of the hardest things to do. You can always rent a system to see if it is something you are looking for. I use https://www.borrowlenses.com/ at times and they are fine. I would even get the R6 first with the EF adaptor to see if that can do the trick.

I'm pretty invested in EF lenses at this point and aren't really serious enough to buy all new glass

I think it is okay for the most part but if you want to use the full use of the mirrorless focus system, that is where you should invest in RF lenses. I think it only matters for people that shoot that kind of stuff but bird photography is sort of one of them.

I take it you are the one behind the lens and not the one on that barrier.

Thank you! Another recent one https://www.instagram.com/p/CrXGIwrJ4JG/
Sup gods, how do you achieve the effect. that's seen in the pics below? I'm referring to him looking like he's dissapearing or like he's fading off haha. I know it's slow shutter and flashes to freeze the subject but if anyone can specify any parameters or anything how to get that effect to look like he's fading off. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cs4XV5jSII5/I'll add these as reference as well.
