It's quite the beast to tame. The mirrorless is so different, I think I was scared of it and didnt touch it for two months after I bought it. Then i just started using it and fumbling (still fumbling) through using it. The worst is no longer does Canon give you an indepth manual in physical form. I dont have data on my phone so cant download the e-manual onto it. Nor would I want to try reading pages of instruction on a tiny screen. Here was me, running outside to shoot the moon, ugh, I hate this setting, running back into the house to the computer and then looking up/changing the setting and going back outside. Good thing I was only in my back yard. And thankfully John Greego (a photographer/educator) does in depth instructions on certain cameras so without him I'd still be staring at the camera inside the box. And I've been shooting since highschool! I dont know why I had such a block with the mirrorless. it's much smaller thant he robust 7D so buttons and dials arent in the same places or non-existent, found only through the menu system and 13 ways to to get to each one...yeesh, all we need is two ways, the long one and shortcut. Sadly, neither cameras will fit in my purse. Would love to have it with me at all times. Good luck taming your beast.
