In 2019 I made the swap from Canon to Lumix, DSLR to Mirrorless, and Full-Frame to Micro Four Thirds, and I've never looked back! For a decade I was a pro Canon DSLR photographer (I was actually Canon's Australian ambassador for 5 years) while mirrorless technology slowly advanced, but by 2009 it was time to sell my Canon EOS-1D X Mark II and swap to the best mirrorless on the market, the Panasonic Lumix GH5. It was groundbreaking for me and instantly brought so many advantages for what I do, not just the high tech features that mirrorless allows but also the huge weight, bulk (and price) savings, and amazing extra-zoom of a 2x crop sensor for wildlife etc. It totally re-energised my photography. I wrote a blog about it, which was then published in Australian Photography magazine: https://chrisbrayphotography.com/tips...

After I'd made this swap, Lumix approached me and offered me the role of global ambassador, which I was very proud to accept. It's become a wonderful partnership where they help me do whatever it is I want to do (like loan me amazing cameras like the GH5 to put in all kinds of risky situations to try and get some unique photos) and they also keep me up to date with the latest camera gear. Recently, this involved getting my hands on one of the first GH6 cameras in Australia, before stock even reached stores! I have been using the GH6 heaps since then, and because I often get asked about what camera I'm using and what's so good about it, I made this little video about my favourite six things about this new GH6. =)

Full disclosure, as I said, I'm a Lumix Ambassador, but keep in mind, I voluntarily got rid of about $75k of Canon gear and a decade of loyalty and made the swap to Lumix myself, and it was only later on that I became their ambassador. I'm using this kit because I firmly believe it's absolutely the best there is for what I do right now.
