I used to love photography. Started out with a canon 50d and loved that camera and took it everywhere we went. Got some amazing photos thoughtout my time with it and had a blast. Really got into photography from seeing people on social media and YouTube. Photography was a huge reason for us to go out and explore areas. Found out i was actually pretty good at photography. Switched to a few sony mirrorless cameras and it seemed since the switch I lost my spark with photography. Really hated the sony platform and the camera was really small feeling in my hands (a6000). Recently sold all my sony gear and thinking going back to canon. I even have a samsung s22 ultra phone for the camera ability and only use it here and there for quick shots. I also found my dad’s old sears film camera and started thinking about having it cleaned to start messing with it. Those that fell out of the hobby and got back in, what did you feel helped?

    It can happen. It helps if you are able to travel and see new places, or if you join a local photography club that sets challenges. Those are two ways I know of that get the creative spark going again.

    I would recommend you go back to a Canon platform, you were happy with it and likely know it cold. I think the 90D is the successor to your 50D.

    Sony’s cameras usually have menus systems that I find are difficult to use. I’ve shot with a few, didn’t like the feel of the cameras either (I have huge hands, my idea of the perfect camera is a Nikon D850 with a battery grip).
