OK. After years of thinking about it, I was all set to take the leap and up my photo game. I'm like most posters (poseurs?) on TGR in that I like to shoot skiing/MTB/climbing, landscapes, and vacations (walkaround stuff). Not many portraits or indoor things.
I'm currently using an S100 P&S (also an unabashed iPhone user). I'm comfortable shooting in full manual, composing for DOF, but that's about it. I'd like to play around with more creative stuff like star trails in the future. Up until recently I was dead set on going this route (mostly due to opinions expressed on TGR):
Canon DSLR (60D or similar)
Canon 15-85
Canon 70-200 f/4L USM
Of course, the one pro outdoor photog I know started raving about his Sony A6000 last week - says he's leaving the DSLR at home anytime it's not a pro shoot. Now I'm deep down the mirrorless camera wormhole second guessing everything. It seems like the mirrorless setups have big sensors, very capable AF these days (major drawback when I researched a few years ago), and I do like to travel light when possible. Is the DSLR going the way of the buffalo, or is mirrorless the 650B of cameras?
Any photog equipment I buy will be well beyond my photog skills for years to come, but I'd prefer not to dive into the DSLR world if things are swaying towards mirrorless. What say the collective? If you were starting from scratch, which way would you go?
