@foovler I also have canons, but they very rarely leave my house now. I use them for time lapses and will continue to do so until their shutters burn out, then i’ll Just continue shooting with my Sony’s. I have the a7r2 and a7r3, and I invested in the GMaster lenses and battery grips, So it ends up just as heavy as a regular dslr, so it doesn’t really save any weight whilst traveling. I bought them for their large image, high dynamic range and 4K video. I used to have to carry my black magic camera with me for video along with it’s accessories so that was really heavy, so it doesn’t save me some weight with that.

I think my next purchases are mirrorless. I'm a minimalist and not a professional so I think I will save extra weight if I don't buy massive lenses and just stick to primes. I know my friend had an A7r and put huge lens on it and just looks unproportionate. As you mentioned, it worked out to be as heavy as a DSLR. Can't wait to see more of your work. Cheers.
A friend of mine is a travel photographer and he has an a7r2 with a couple of primes and it's really light when it's stripped down. It's a really versatile camera.
When i put the big lenses on it it actually becomes too front heavy, so i end up using the battery grip to balance it out a bit. But for me it was more about the image i produces than the overall feel of it. I'm happy with my investments, i do miss the canon's sometimes, but i don't think i could ever switch back now.
Yeh thinking of the Sony a7r2. I think they are good for videos as well but i think battery drains real quick. Will probably buy 2 extra battery pack whenever i purchase it.
Carrying my canon 80d with a 17-50 zoom was tiring as hell. My d600 with a fifty is a little better.
I guess for pros, quality image is everything. As for me, i think comfort takes priority. When ur happy, stick to it. I started with Nikon then tried Canon, switched to Nikon coz I liked the layout more. Each to their own.
