“I read comparison and watched review videos, but coming from a canon user, anyone choose this over the canon R/RP and glad they did? Never used Nikon, so not sure if the user experience is not good coming from a canon user.”

I am not primarily a Canon user although I own and still use both a Canon point & shoot as well as a Canon 1n 35mm film camera. My experience tells me that you need to decide whether to go Canon or go Nikon or some other brand and then stick with it. The value of any camera system lies in the accumulation of lens, not bodies. The lens will always be good but the bodies change as improvements are made. I chose Nikon because I have a full assortment of lens dating back to 1967. They all still work on even the most modern Nikon body. That is the beauty of the Nikon system. Canon, on the other hand started over when the auto focus became the way to go and previous manual focus Canon lens would not work or even fit on Canon auto focus cameras. Today, it is a battle between Sony, Canon, Nikon and Panasonic/Olympus over the mirrorless camera systems. I chose Nikon because of their dedication to keeping backward compatibility with all previous lens. There will be minor improvements over time and one or the other brand will pull ahead momentarily, but in the long run, they are all about the same in performance. I did notice that the mirrorless Canon lens are different from the Canon auto focus lens so they may be making another big change that is not backward compatible.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I’m glad I did. I’m Nikon already, but my wife is canon. She’s jealous now.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Coming from mainly using nikon it did make the transition from dlsr to mirrorless easy. The small things about this camera adds up which makes it a big deal. The option for the view finder vs the screen without having to touch is great for me. The quick witless transfer to the app seconds after the picture was taken helps run photo booths with ease. The button placement works great for me when shooting manual and I can quickly change settings. I feel nikon gave it just a little bit more in detail vs the canon. Both really great companies, but to each its own. The camera doesn’t define the photographer, the photographer defines the camera.
