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

Looking for a camera-surfing injury downtime

sh!t, are you saying that the lenses are also body-specific?
like specific lenses for mirror-less bodies?
Panasonic Lumix FZ80 4K Digital Camera, 18.1 Megapixel Video Camera, 60X Zoom DC VARIO 20-1200mm Lens, F2.8-5.9 Aperture, Power O.I.S. Stabilization, Touch Enabled 3-Inch LCD, Wi-Fi, DC-FZ80K (Black)
Looked at this on Amazon
Different bundles available, extra battery, cleaning kit, etc
Grab and Go camera for the amatuer
Thanks Joe!

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.

i got some footage of the surfermag forum get together during the last swell
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.
Bro. 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.
Yes.
They are not really different lenses, just a different length flange focal distance.
Mirrorless camera sensor plane is closer to the back element of the lens than the mirrored cameras.
DSLRs need that space to accommodate the mirror and optical view finder.
Hence the need for the adapter, which is really doing nothing other than extending the flange focal distance so the lens can work on mirrorless.
Unfortunately that kind of kills the compactness of the mirrorless camera because even a pancake lens has to be like an inch away from the sensor.
If you're not worried about auto-focus performance (speed) adapters can work if you don't mind the bulkiness.
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...

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.

those look sweet!
yeah, the contax was pretty cool - all black, that was the deciding factor at the time...
my buddy actually lent me his to use when i was going over to france one time - worked great but it was a very pale coppery metallic,
didn’t really go with my prada bag...
plus, sante got a lot of babes!..
deal done.
my friend is a studio guy, but i remember
him lugging a couple of big contax
rangefinders around the city back then...

the trick with used underwear is, it’s o.k
it it’s girls’. socks are usually too small,
and stockings are verboten...
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.
OMG I just got boaner from the dials

I hate that part of the Canon, especially when dorking around with long exposures
what's the word on the T3 and T4?

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. haha
B&H has the T3 body is under a g....T4 seems mostly video focused
the 16-80mm lens looks like a good daily driver
I run the canon 15-85 on my 7D for 80% of what I do
