It's interesting what you said about looking through the viewfinder with a DSLR. One of the reasons I went mirrorless is that I can shoot video while looking through the viewfinder, something I can't do with my DSLRs. It's especially handy if you're shooting birds. I tend to go for Wasabi batteries for my cameras. They're not a cheapo brand and they're reliable, but they are cheaper than the genuine Nikon battteries. Keep in mind, Nikon and Canon, etc, aren't battery manufacturers, companies like Wasabi are. I have heard that the new Nikon Z6iii will only work with genuine Nikons though. Good to see your subscriber count in the background is going up every time I watch one of your videos. 201 as I type this.
I guess that's one bonus of the mirrorless, everything can be seen through the viewfinder. I find myself in a funny space and time - loving the technology that can help me learn and start a business, but still loving the mechanical aspect of some things. My concern with the on-brand batteries, is that if there's ever any issues, I can say that I followed the instructions and used what was provided. In my older cameras (both of which were second hand), I just used the cheaper non-brand batteries. But when you really splurge on something like the 5D and the 24-70 lens... there were a few things I wanted to make absolutely sure were the "right" thing to protect it. And yea, I'm super humbled to watch my numbers go up each day. It's a bit weird, because I'm still learning myself, but it's really nice. And the coolest thing, is getting to chat with people around the world like yourself! Just mindblowing. :)
I have a 5D classic and mark 2. Love them. I purchased a couple of extra batteries for them and I have a portable solar panel that I can charge them with when I’m out in the field.

That's such a cool idea! Great especially if you're doing nature or landscape photography!
