Hello everyone,
This is my first post in this forum, and I urgently need your help regarding my decision-making process.
I’ve been considering switching systems from Sony to Canon for a while now.
I’m thinking about trading my Sony A1, including the battery grip, and my Sony 300mm f2.8 GM with 1.4 TC for the Canon R5 Mark II, the Canon RF 100-500mm, and the Canon RF 24-105mm f2.8.
How do you see the comparison between the Sony A1 and the Canon R5 Mark II? Which camera has the edge here?
Even though the Sony 300mm GM is not really comparable to the Canon RF 100-500mm, how do you perceive the differences in terms of image quality, sharpness, Apurtare, Bokeh, AF-Performance etc.?
Regarding the Canon 24-105mm f2.8, I have absolutely no doubts or concerns. That lens is amazing.
Some thoughts about switching to Canon are as follows:
I love the 300mm f2.8 GM, and I haven’t had a lens in my hands that performs and delivers quality, sharpness, and bokeh like this one. Whether with or without teleconverters (1.4x / 2.0x). Therefore, the only point I'm unsure about is switching from this prime lens to the Canon RF 100-500mm.
Perhaps you could give me some insights, experiences, or tips.
Thank you in advance!

Some thoughts about switching to Canon are as follows:
- My brother and my father both use Canon cameras, so there would be the possibility of swapping lenses among us.
- In my opinion, the haptics of Canon cameras and lenses is better. Of course, this is subjective and can vary from person to person.
- The versatility in terms of focal lengths is not provided by the Sony 300mm f2.8. Extensions are only possible with teleconverters to 420mm or 600mm.
- The pre-capture feature, Eye-AF, AF-Performance, the higher resolution display etc., including the high megapixel count of the Canon R5 Mark II, are very appealing to me. With only 5 megapixels less compared to the Sony A1, the reduction in megapixels is minimal.
- Furthermore, I’m still disappointed with Sony’s firmware updates; their competitors are delivering more in that regard
