Answers.Text: I haven't used one, so I don't really know.  I looked up the sensor size, though, and it's also aps-c, so it's probably on par with the 77D.  Sensor size is a big deal, will get you better low light performance (good for macro), and better depth of field, simply because it can sample more photons.  Any software or processing tricks that make smaller sensors perform well can always be applied to larger sensors, too, which means they'll always have an edge when it comes to image quality.

  I am truly confused guys with the "exact specs" ML allows in the 5D III, and if it worth considering it in 2020. So I highly appreciate your recommendations.
