Thanks for all the suggestions. The Sony A6000 seems like the ticket for me. I'm not afraid of a used camera, but maybe I should be. I'll check out KEH. Thanks

Canon offers an inexpensive lens adapter for mirrorless cameras.I was thinking of a new mirrorless body I can take backpacking where
weight is a consideration.
I would like to stay Canon given I already have some lenses
what body should I be looking at in the 4 digit range?
sh!t, are you saying that the lenses are also body-specific?Canon offers an inexpensive lens adapter for mirrorless cameras.
Yes. My Canon DSLR uses EOS EF mount lenses while Canon's Mirrorless bodies use RF mount lenses. There is also a Canon M-mount as well. There is an adapter so my EOS EF DSLR lenses will fit the new Canon mirrorless cameras. They had to do that because so many people have the EF lenses. I think Nikon does the same thing.sh!t, are you saying that the lenses are also body-specific?
like specific lenses for mirror-less bodies?
Yes. I'm not "crazy" about adapters. I have the M50 with the kit EF-M 15-45mm and EF-M 55–200mm but I still use the D7 mark II for surf shots.sh!t, are you saying that the lenses are also body-specific?

this is one of the few things i’d trust fecalBro. Go Fujifilm. Seriously.
I've been thru every camera system on earth. Nikon -> Canon -> Sony -> Leica -> Fuji <-
You'd have to ditch your Canon lenses if you go mirrorless anyway so might as well switch.
You could have shot that whole video at Ponto last week.i got some footage of the surfermag forum get together during the last swell
this is one of the few things i’d trust fecal
on. will have to check these out...
the last film camera i had was a contax
point and shoot. i was gonna buy a leica,
but one of my photog friends told me to go
with the cntx - “hey man, this is what sante
d’orazio uses!...”
eventually sold it...
i'm really weirded out by used camera equipment ... one step away from used underwear or socks... but i'm going to check this out. i have not heard of KEH
when i was out with back surgery about 15 years ago, i briefly entertained the idea of making some money by taking surf pics of whomever was out and then handing them a card when they came out of the water, offering to sell them the pics of themselves surfing for a buck or three. i never put it together but now in the age of cash apps, it would be a lot easier to make a quick deal and collect. figured it would be an easy sale coz surfers, then and now, drool at the prospect of decent pics of themselves surfing. never got around to figuring out if it was a viable biz model.Had an injury and figured I may as well get a camera to take some pics of my friends and family. Surfing shots primarily. Auto focus, ease of uploading pics, wifi capable, stuff like that.
Any recommendations? Looking to stay under $500 $600
Thanks
OMG I just got boaner from the dials
If you liked the Contax, you'll love Fuji.
The genius of Fuji is their rangefinder cameras, they all have both optical and electronic viewfinder, which if you are Bruce Gilden style inclined, is an indispensable tool for shooting quickly.
I ignored Fuji for years because they've never had a full frame camera, until I picked up the X100F because I needed a compact point and shoot with a fixed lens and holy crap.
And there's no menu diving, all settings are controlled by REAL ANALOG METAL knobs.

HAHAHAHA, I was thinking the same thing. I'm too lazy for that, but it would be an easy way to justify the purchase. The hamster in my head is running on the wheel as I type this. hahawhen i was out with back surgery about 15 years ago, i briefly entertained the idea of making some money by taking surf pics of whomever was out and then handing them a card when they came out of the water, offering to sell them the pics of themselves surfing for a buck or three. i never put it together but now in the age of cash apps, it would be a lot easier to make a quick deal and collect. figured it would be an easy sale coz surfers, then and now, drool at the prospect of decent pics of themselves surfing. never got around to figuring out if it was a viable biz model.
