R10 or RP. Or 5D Mark 4, 6D mark 2 or 90D. Add a flash, and 3 quality lenses (walk around, tele, portrait). 2000 dollars and you’re completely set. Many choices possible - I’ve been in the Canon ecosystem since the 450D and have always been happy.

I know you guys get paid for the sponsorships, but I still wanted to say thank you for having a local business as a sponsor. B&H Photo, Adorama, Amazon might have great deals, but the care that you get from a local business outweighs any perceived savings.(Actually, the national camera companies aren't really that much cheaper, based on comparisons with my local shop.) Plus, if you support the local business long enough, you become a familiar face to the workers, and you tend to get some perks, for example, when the R7 started shipping, my local store got two of them, they called me before others on their wait-list.

I use the A7RIV and it’s amazing, but could be a little better in low light. Still much better than my a6400. Id probably suggest the A7IV because a little better lowlight performance and still great resolution at 33MP rather than 61 on the RIV. For video the A7RIV is not much of an improvement at all from the a6000 series besides IBIS and full frame. (I know the R lineup is photo centric but it would have been nice to have the option of a higher fps 4K)

I've been using full frame lens on aps-c bodies my whole life starting with the first digital rebel and Ive had no problem. Actually I love the range I get from using FF lens on crop bodies. The advantage is that you can use your lens on both bodies but if you have aps-c lens, you can't use them on a full frame body. Think the R7 is way better than just a camera for birds.

[@grfxunl01]

I’ve been wanting to buy a nice camera for about six months or so, after watching your channel for about a year I decided on the R7.

[@ElevenAce]

Thanks for the video but I wish you guys would of mentioned a few more things like which camera have IBIS. As a current RP owner I also want to mention that the camera does have issues since it's their first and a lot of the new things in the newer RF cameras I wish they would throw some love on the R and RP with simple updates but they don't. The camera has 4k but it's contrast focus and is extremely cropped. At times it just feels more like a purposely built feature rather than a limitation especially since cameras like the m6 mark Ii has it. I know it's a short video but little details like that makes me really want to upgrade to the R6 or R5.

Note that her favorite was the RP with the 24-240. And they had 6 of them in studio. What does that say? That's why I purchased the RP with the 24-240. Read another review that stated the RP was basically a miniaturized 5D MkII. Put 400K photos on one of those. And music videos. It's still going with an IAIA student. Just love having a nearly "pocket" MkII. Photos with the RP24-240 combo are surprisingly good. Very workable in post or even SNAPSEED. Have also seen reviews stating the combo is a well kept secret. Certainly not as perfect as a new 5D but it's so small and tidy. If knowing what one is doing, gets the job done quite well.

I have my mind already set for the Canon R5. I will be renting one for a week to try out in a football game and a high school reunion photoshoot to try before buying. I also have to rent out the EF to EOS R adapter since I already have the 24-70mm F/2.8, 70-200mm F/2.8 and the Sigma 50mm F/1.4 Art lens. I also like the Clog 3 already built in the camera for video at 4K/120fps. Even though it can record at 8K I never record beyond 4K. It's just too big for post production. As of now I have the Canon 5D Mk IV.

Thanks for explaining ☺️ I understand ❤️

[@joylox]

I don't know if it's really fair to include the kit lenses, because when I had a 60D, I used regular EF lenses, frequently borrowing my dad's for his full frame camera, and they work just fine. I used a 100-400 with the 60D for wildlife photos, and it was nice to have the extra crop without having to crop it after transferring photos. Besides, if you're getting into photography and want to continue and get into it more, it's nice to have lenses that work on both. Sigma makes some great EF lenses that work fine with the adapter, and are a bit more affordable than Canon, as well as having more diverse offerings. I have the R and their lenses are pretty on part with the Canon L series lenses I've used. I ordered the R7, so I'll see how that goes. I probably wouldn't use the 50 on it, but I have a feeling that the 150-600 would be great on a crop sensor for getting pics of the moon. I know some people are like "no, you have to buy Canon L lenses for Canon cameras, they work the best!" But comparing the RF 50 1.2 to the Sigma 50 1.4, the images are exactly the same. Don't limit yourself to one brand, or one line of lenses, there are some great options. I got my Sigma 50mm used too, so if you have a local store, just walk in with your camera and an adapter, and see what they have secondhand. Sigma does have some APS-C lenses too, so if you have the adapter, go for it. One thing nice about getting the original R is that it came with a bunch of extras, including a lens adapter. I use it maybe half the time I'm taking photos, and it's great. It will be interesting to compare the R and R7, as there's been a lot of technological advancement in that time. I might take it to the store in person (I'm in Canada, so we have Henry's and the staff are fantastic) and then try some different lenses or comparisons. I need to get more memory cards since the R7 takes two cards, and for shooting 4K, you pretty much need to have UHS-II cards, so I'd like to get a matching set.

The huge game changer was Tamron announcing it will make the 70-300mm zoom lens (same one as the Sony mount). That’s something I was looking forward to, and might make me get a Z6. Canon doesn’t make one in RF mount. The EF 70-300mm was discontinued, and a used one is a bit expensive.

I am currently shooting with the Olympus OM-1 and haven't been happy with low light results when shooting nightscapes. I have been thinking of going back to full-frame (former Nikon shooter). I have been leaning towards Canon for the lens line up, design and build quality. I have rented the R5, the Sony A7R III and IV and a few of the Fuji cameras. I shied away from Nikon because I don't like the design of the cameras and they seem to be the slowest at bringing new lenses to market. I shoot mostly birds, wildlife and travel photos. I have been trying to decide between buying a RP to test the waters with the 16mm, 50mm, 24-105mm and 100-400mm STM lenses or just going with the R6 with the same lenses. At this point I would likely pre-order the R6 II. Any suggestions? PS. I know Sony has the best selection of lenses but I just couldn't bring myself to enjoy shooting with the A7 series cameras. I loved the Fuji shooting experience but feel if I am going to leave M4/3 I should go back to FF and not APS-C. If anyone has a good argument why I should reconsider that I welcome reading it.

[@grumblewoof4721]

The cost of the camera you want is only part of the story, canon bodies are not cheap but n a par for equally specified other makes. Select a camera body based on features you use most often and image quality you need, the prices are almost linear based on these criteria. But lenses are a whole different matter. Canon RF mount lenses are expensive. Third party lenses offer usually much more bang for the buck but here is the rub, Canon won't allow third parties to make and sell RF mount glass. So my advice would be that unless you have a compelling reason to need some obscure feature only Canon cameras can offer then I would chose Sony or Nikon as your base body and then you have access to hundreds of top quality lenses at reasonable prices as well as second hand. Your camera bag can be a cornucopia of great glass for the price of just one Canon RF L series lens.

[@SonOfInfernum]

Or just get an EF to RF adapter, loads of affordable lenses for the EF mount.

[@takoflame4948]

Hence I loved Canon cause the resell value great!

[@grumblewoof4721]

@@SonOfInfernum I did but it doesn't help with the Sigma 150-600 C lens... the adapter works but the lens has autofocusing issues. I have not seen adverse reports on other EF third party lenses yet but they may exist. Generally the EF Canon Lenses are superseded by the RF equivalent lens which are better so reviews suggest.

[@harrison00xXx]

As Maxime said... just go EF RF adapter Did you get the 150-600 before or after the EOS R system? If you had it already... sure, thats annoying, but if you bought it after the camera....its totally your fault, especially if it was known already in the community. I dont see this problem as a huge dealbreaker.... just remap any button to AF-C/AF-S switching and go as good as possible for AF-S when its also just ok. I am using the RP and rely very much on AF-S in wildilfe because 5 fps is slow enough, i dont want like 2,5-3,5 fps because i need AF-C. Also since the RP doesnt have any animal detect thats pretty much im limited to. I just got a RF 800 F11 instead of the 150-600 sigma, i really struggled with this decision since i knew from the beginning i will rely a lot on AF-S anyways but for flying and moving birds i just needed reliable AF-C if i use it. I think the RF 800 and RF 600 F11 pretty much show: RF glass can be affordable, in fact even super affordable for its performance. Just some other examples you may know: RF 50mm 1.8 RF 85mm 1.8 RF 35mm 1.8 IS RF 24-105 non-L But yeah, I also try to avoid RF glass - the camera is just a charme with as much used as possible with the Meike RF EF filter adapter on it - just always protected sensor and all needed filters for EVERY EF lens! I got once a EF 100mm 2.8L Macro with broken stabilizer super cheap, repaired it and well, even if the stabilizer would have been unrepairable- Just SUPER VALUE! The thing is i guess... just use CANON (!!!) EF glass if possible, except for a super garbage lens (EF 75-300 IS USM) all my EF lenses perform better on mirrorless than they did on the DSLR! I cant really say much about 3rd party EF lenses AF performance since basically all my 3rd party EF gear is just manual focus, a telescope or has from the beginning trashy AF which im fine that it works at all on mirrorless.

I smile too 😊 as I have the 70 to 300 USM EF lens.... I found it was great focusing, very quick, but above 200mm it went off so my attempts at close ups of birds on say the opposite river bank were frankly unusable... but don't tell anyone as I hope to sell it on eBay. I bought the excellent 150 to 600 Sigma to replace the 70 to 300 USM. Oh well. Sony looks good but the rear tilt screen is pointless and a pain. (I had two A390 Sonys that also had annoying flip screens) Sony could advance if they had a flip twist out screen like Canons.

Teh RP is an amazing value honestly! But i'm still saving for my R5, i've been wanting that camera since it came out!

[@seanj3667]

I started with a Canon digital Rebel my first real lenses were Tamron. I have a combination of Canon and Sigma lenses now, along with a 5D mk III, 5D mk II, and a 7D converted to shoot infrared. I supposed I will eventually need to move to mirrorless, but will resist as long as I can because I don't want to buy all new gear and sell what I have at a reduced value. If Canon does not allow third party lenses on their mirrorless when I am ready to switch, then I am unlikely to stay with the brand. Mind you, I have also helped five friends start out with their first DSLRs, and they are all on Canon.

Is there a wiser choice than buying two? RP for family/travel and R10 for motorsport?

[@lavelis9088]

Hey, i have a question regarding camera choice and i cant really solve it myself and hoped you may be able to help me with all the experience you have. Im kinda stuck in my decision between the R5, R3, Z9 and A1. I havent invested im any ecosystem yet and price isnt a deciding point here. I think i mainly want to take wildlife pictures, but may want to dip into sports in the future. Additionally all things family picture related. Are 24MP of the R3 enough to print big family pictures? Is the better ISO of the R3 relevant? All these question made it impossible for me to get to a well thought through conclusion. But maybe you can help me with that. Thank you and great content as always!

Great job, guys!

I'm trying to decide between r7 and r. I do mostly portraits however I do like to catch some action with my kiddos. WHich would you recommend?

[@ericweber7707]

Do the R5 & R6 cameras give you the ability to bluetooth your photos directly from you camera to an iPhone to then post on Instagram or other social media platforms? Or are the files too large and you must make them smaller in a photo editor software?

I own an RP body. Fully satisfied. The only caveat is battery life. Want to buy the RP, invest on an extra battery too. Amazing photos on kit lenses too.

From someone who has used the Eye Focus on the R3 - I can absolutely assure you that it’s not gimmicky. It’s fricken awesome. It follows faster than my brain can possibly comprehend. I look. I press the shutter. Perfection.

[@mervfer1162]

It was pretty decent on the EOS 3 film camera 30 years ago. I've missed that. Would be really beneficial for side shots on a stage with multiple people.

[@truthseeker6804]

Many people like calling things gimmick because they don't use it or see its value.

[@jamesfoureight9879]

In all honest do you rely and trust the feature in the moment? Tony said the feature needs to be calibrated often, has that been your experience?

[@MitsubishiEvoXFQ]

@@jamesfoureight9879 I trust it implicitly for a full 14-hour wedding day. I find my outside and indoor profiles work well for most scenarios and only sometimes need to do a nighttime calibration for dance-floor shots. I may calibrate 2-3 times during that 14-hour period at the absolute most. It’s honestly incredible.

Great information. Thanks!

I have a DSLR 80D and now i am having serious thoughts about moving to canon mirrorless because of their third party lens policy
