    I picked up the photography hobby about 15 years ago with a Rebel T6. Worked my way up to a 5D MkIII, then about 5 years ago put the camera equipment away because my new phone at the time was taking awesome pics.

    Now, 5 years later I have decided to get back into the hobby as I approach my retirement date. I still have my 5D MkIII and all my equipment and am TRYING to pick up where I left off. I am also trying to decide if I want to jump into the mirrorless world. My 5D MkIII still works perfectly, so I am leaning towards making sure I stay committed to the hobby again before re-investing!

    I look forward to learning, and hopefully contributing, here in the Forum. See you around!

    Welcome to the forum, stick with the 5D, unless the mirrorless camera has something that outshines the 5D as it's a excellent camera.

    Thanks, Craig!

    I am actually leaning towards keeping the 5DMkIII for the foreseeable future. I appreciate your input!
