I use Canon DSLRs systems. I primarily use full frame DSLRs for the improved image quality over small sensor cameras. My favorites include the 50MP Canon 5DSR and 30MP Canon 5D Mark IV.
I have owned and used Nikon system cameras; most recently the Nikon D810 which I purchased so I had a high-resolution DSLR for landscape shooting. When Canon released the 50MP 5DSR, I sold the Nikon system in favor of going back to a full Canon system.
As my current photography projects center around landscape photography, I have foregone personally owning a Canon pro-level camera (like the 1DX cameras). I use a Canon 7DII for times when a fast frame rate and cropped sensor aids me and rent a pro-level camera for my bear and bird photo trips when and if I think it will serve my purpose. I sold my Canon 600mm f/4L IS USM V1 lens in January 2017 in favor of the new Tamron 150-600mm G2 and TC-X1.4 Tele Converter. Readily hand-holdable, I am liking it a lot. If a need arises; like bear photography; I will rent a Canon 500mm f/4 II.
