Moonrise again?

Yes and no! I'll show the moonrise and tell you about something else. The post will be short on pictures and more of a story-a complaint about my equipment. More specifically, about the cameras I use.

And so. About my cameras. From 2010 to 2012 I shot on a Canon 50D, from 2012 to 2017 I shot on a Canon 5D. The transition from crop to outdated full frame was not easy, but over the past five years I have taken many decent pictures with this camera.

Then, from 2017 to 2020, I shot on a Canon 6D. I consider this camera indestructible! A working body with a shutter count of one million frames!!!

Then I got a Canon 5D mark 4 at the end of 2020, on which I photographed until January 2025.

The DSLR camera was replaced by the canon R6 mark 2 mirrorless camera... A couple of months later, it died: the memory module failed (Err70), which eventually turned out to be a factory defect. After replacing the malfunction under warranty, I clicked the shutter again without a mirror until the end of September this year, until the mirrorless R6 mk2 died again. While I had my camera under repair, I shot on a 5D mark 4. This is the new favorite of indestructibility. The shutter count in the spring was 380,000 frames, now it's probably approaching half a million. All 5's are like bricks – heavy, large, but nothing is done with them in any harsh conditions.

Many of my colleagues and friends have the mirrorless R6 mark 2, but only I came across a defective copy. One colleague said that it couldn't stand my energy, my creative charge. There is almost no difference in the picture, but there are huge differences in usability.
