Do I replace my Canon 5D II with a mirrorless or stick with another DSLR?

I'm on the fence. I have a bunch of EF mount lenses for Canon DSLR, so do I stick with a DSLR or just make the jump and future proof my rig a little with an update mirrorless ( EOS R) camera?

I have the same question you do, I have EF and EFS lenses and will likely be getting another body this coming year. I have three APS-C Bodies and one full frame and have uses for both with the work I do. I have an 80D and can't see getting another DSLR. Mirrorless is obviously the future.

I have even looked at other systems but concluded that sticking with Canon makes more sense. My next purchase will likely be an R7 followed by an R5 down the line. The advantages of Mirrorless outweigh the few benefits of say a 90D (that being a familiar camera body to what I have now, better battery life) The fact that with an adapter I can use all the lenses I have now makes the move to Mirrorless almost painless.

Good luck with your journey.

Those who prefer a DSLR will recommend a DSLR, those who favor moving to mirrorless will recommend mirrorless. Who you copy is up to you.
