I know you have previously had a sony AR on your hands a while back Neil but that was quite a while back and the mirrorless market has improved somewhat and a few game changes are coming into play. I suffer from a bad back after a long wedding, I use 2 canon 6D`s coupled with a 70-200 and a 24-70. I would like to change over to mirrorless towards the end of the year, am I entering that market too soon do you think? I know the sony A7ii and sony ARii are out and look amazing and a few top togs swear by em. I just get the feeling that not only might I appear inadequate on the size issue (yes I'm still talking cameras) are they actually up to the job in terms of speed and iso? Am I best just ditching the big lumps of glass and just going prime to reduce weight? Do I wait to see what they churn out in sept/oct? Apart from the weight strain on my back, I found it difficult packing my gear for hand luggage on my destination weddings, especially when your only aloud 6kg on some flights (I like to keep my gear close and not in the hold), so another reason to go for lighter kit. Thoughts?

I've been using the xpro2 for a number of weddings along with an xt1 and 5d mk3 and my 5d stays in the bag at the brides house now and only comes out once I get to the ceremony and need a more powerful and faster to recycle flash.
