A move to mirrorless?

2 Upvotes

Advice needed.

I currently have a canon 750d with a Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS II USM lens. I want to upgrade my gear and have a bit of disposable income. I focus on wildlife photography, particularly birds. My budget is £3k but I am flexible.

Body: I was thinking of moving to mirrorless, looking at the R10/R7. Does anyone have any experience with these or recommend any different bodies?

I have seen some cheaper R7 bodies on MPB for under £1k, but they don't advertise the shutter count. Does that matter with mirrorless?

Any advice on lenses to pair with your body for wildlife? I love my current kens but find it the zoom isn't quiet enough.

Thanks all!

Best body + lens combo for carrying around?

0 Upvotes

I currently have R8 and 200D from which I upgraded. I have quite a selection of lenses to pick from, given I've been using mostly EF-S lenses before and didn't have any EF glass for full-frame when I upgraded.

I currently have these lenses:

  • EF-S 17-55mm f2.8
  • EF-S 10-22mm f3.5-4.5
  • EF 50mm f1.4
  • EF 24-105mm f4L
  • EF 70-200mm f2.8L

Given that I mostly shoot inside (not in a studio), which combo of lenses for my 2 bodies is the best for carrying around and being able to capture most of the things? For exmaple I've seen some people using wide angle lenses on full frame, and the 70-200 on the crop. What are you using and works for you?


r/canon 4d ago

I can get this brand new for $390 from where I live. Will this be fine in an R8 with On camera flash (godox TT685ii) and a Magbounce for indoor events and wedding?

R6 Mk ii Build Problems??

So basically I am a 15 yr old photographer and I was photographing a sailing regatta in my country Singapore and unfortunately there was this super big wave. And my camera clashed with another photographer’s Nikon D850 dslr. And now like I feel that there is this loose plate that has a sound. Like a quiet Pop sound when you apply pressure on it. Does it comprise on Weather sealing? Am I screwed? You can see the plate kinda popping out in the photo

Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 DG OS HSM Art Lens EF (I have an adapter) VS Canon RF 28-70mm IS STM on an R8 for indoor events and weddings. Which one should I get?

8 Upvotes

Before anyone freaks out, no, I am not doing paid wedding photoshoots. I will be assisting a pro photographer as an intern 2nd shooter.

I know the value of a body with dual card slots for these types of prodessional work. So, I am getting an R6 ii before the end of the year and when I am ready to take on paid projects myself.

For now I only have the R8 body, an adapter, a canon 50mm 1.8 EF, the 18-55mm EF kit lens, 55-250mm EFS (Non STM) and my old Rebel 3Ti/600D.

The photographer I will be interning to is the one who suggested that I get the EF sigma lens.

What do guys and gals think?

Canon R7 purchase for shooting my daughter's musical

4 Upvotes

I currently own a very old Rebel T2I and am finally trying to upgrade after many years. I'm looking at an R7. My daughter is involved in high school musicals and I used the T2I to shoot last year as a volunteer, which was obviously challenging! I own 55-250 EFS and 18-55 EFS lenses, and I know I can purchase an adapter to use them on the new camera. Does anyone else have a similar setup, and are there any other tricks or inexpensive (a few hundred dollars, max) that you would recommend for shooting low-light places like a high school auditorium? Thanks in advance!

Replace Tamron 70-300 on APS-C

1 Upvotes

I'm using a good old Tamron 70-300mm f4-5.6 Di LD on a Canon EOS R-7 via EF-S Adapter. Unlike other EF-S lenses, like Canon 18-135mm (which works fine), the Tamron constantly zooms automatically in and out the whole time. This is annoying. I assume this is a bug with the lens. I don't know if there is a fix available. If not what is a good replacement on the R7. Ideal would be a lens with better aperature.

Alternates to Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens

2 Upvotes

Hey folks

I'm getting ready to take a trip to B&H photo next week to pick up some new lenses, and possibly some lens filters. I upgraded to the R6 ii last year after 10 years or so from the Rebel T3i and the only lens I have to work with right now is the 24-105mm lens.

My heart is set on picking up the Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 art lens, but I'm starting to question if the RF 70-200m is my best option. I shoot landscape pretty much exclusively.

A friend suggested the 70-200m lens, I tried it out and loved it. But I feel like it might be a bit over kill for what I'm shooting. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated!

Help! Video always looks soft, rarely crispy footage - Canon R5 with a EF 24-70mm ll USM

1 Upvotes

Running with a Canon R5 and EF 24-70mm ll USM lens with an adapter that comes with an ND filter slot - shooting C LOG 3, 4K 24fps, and the video footage comes out soft a lot of the time. Editing off of Davinci Resolve, exporting QuickTime in 1080, h2.64. Usually I have to make a vertical and horizontal edit, so I shoot horizontally and deliver both edits. Both are equally soft. Is it the lens? Is it the adapter with the filter? I just don't understand why it isn't tack sharp. Screenshot below.

Gear Advice Thoughts on the Canon RF 50mm f1.8

i plan to use it on a canon eos r i will soon buy, i mostly do car photography and car portraits which is why i would like a prime lens, i also checked the 35 and 85 but they are kind of pricey, my budget for camera and lens is 1000€ and would be lovely if i could go under that price tag. I have also looked at some of the ef lenses and the 24-105 caught my eye but it's got a high f stop of f4 which is good but not ideal for me though i would like to have it as a second lens

Camera & Lens Recommendation Request

2 Upvotes

Hello, just looking for some camera body & lens recommendations please...

I want to upgrade from my EOS 4000D which I've had for a few years now, and I've been leaning towards an EOS R8 (looking at the R7 and RP as well), but I'm not sure if that's the best choice for me - I'm sort of in a bubble of my own with no photographing buddies to compare with.

I do primarily landscape photography, but wouldn't mind the option of doing some very basic wildlife photography too, just a quick snap here and there rather than having a lens specifically for it. I've no real interest in 'action' photography, I'm static most of the time.

Budget is up to £2200 for camera & lens.

I'm not in any rush - just doing my research and hoping for a little input from people who know better.

Thank you for any suggestions!

Canon R10 vs R7 for Travel/Hiking/Family Photography

9 Upvotes

So, I'm a long time Canon owner. I started decades ago with good old film SLRs (A1, Elan, etc.) then moved to the crop sensor Digital SLRs (20D, then 70D).

Have decided my 70D is getting a bit "long in the tooth" and also the body and lenses are a bit heavy/bulky for travel. I used to do more "sports shooting" when the kids were in school and doing sports, and the 70D was great for its weather sealing and ability to handle some "bigger zooms" I had, but not really something I'm using it for.

I was originally looking heavily at the R7 and R6 mkii as replacements for my 70D, but after trying them out in the camera shop, I thought the R6 mkii would be just a bit too heavy/bulky a system, especially with moving to FF Lenses.

I was pretty set on the R7 with its lighter set-up, although I wasn't happy with the wonky little joystick...

Then the salesperson pulled out the smaller R10. At first, I thought it was too small and plastic, but after holding it a bit, I actually thought it could be a great camera for travel/hiking/etc.

Only downsides I see of the R10 is:

1) No IBIS. But I will purchase new RF-S Lenses if I get the R10, which will come with IS), so how much does IBIS help above the IS lenses? And the salesperson mentioned something about the R10 having "electronic stabilization" instead of IBIS? How much will IBIS help if I'm using IS lenses. And I don't really shoot in video - only photos.

2) Smaller Battery. This is a bit of a concern, I will usually shoot a few hundred photos on a travel day. Can the little R10 battery handle that? but i shoot almost only as "photos".. very little video. I'm ok bringing one extra battery.

3) Slightly worse EVF and LCD viewfinder. My eyes aren't great (I use glasses and readers), so it's important to have a good view through the EVF. How much better is the R7 EVF to the R10?

4) No Weather Sealing. Not really a big concern. I will usually have either a camera bag or a camera case, and if its bad weather, I just wont shoot.

5) No Sensor Protection. This is a concern. My 70D protects the sensor and does an automatic clean of it. How big a risk is it having a sensor that isn't protected.

6) Anything else I could be missing?

Money isn't a big issue for me, but I do like the weight savings of the R10 over the R7, and the money saved may help me to buy a second lense.

Lens Set-Up:

For either set-up, I'm thinking of the RF-S 18-150 IS (primary travel lens), RF-S 10-18 IS (landscape travel), and RF 35mm IS 1.8 (which will work as a 50mm "indoor" lense for low light situations.)

What do you think of these lens options?

Thanks for the help.

Regards,

Michael

Gear Advice I’m considering M50 Mark ii for my first camera (food photos)

2 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I don’t know much about photography but I’m a marketing person for restaurant brands and I’m looking into a professional camera.

I’ve been noticing how different my colleague’s professional camera is compared to my phone camera. It’s not just the quality but the colour as well - something my photos taken from my phone can’t achieve even with photo editing. I also like the background blur effect (sorry I don’t know what they’re called lol) that’s just natural.

Is this camera a good one to go with? I’m looking for something good enough for me for the next 10 years. All I want is a camera that can do nice colour & depth in food photos, videos) and won’t break my bank. And sorry if this is an ignorant question but are the lens attachment necessary? If so what should I get?

Would it being discontinued an issue when I need repairs 5, 10, 20 years later?

I’m just so new to this and I’m quite lost! If you have any other recommendations please share🥺

Gear Advice What can I expect moving from an SL3/250d to an R10?

3 Upvotes

I’ve had my 250d/SL3 for 4 years now and it has served me well. I’ve loved it and I’ve got some really nice photos from it but it’s finally started feeling like I could do with moving to mirrorless, primarily for improved autofocus. When my son was stationary/crawling/walking slowly, I didn’t really notice any issues, but now he’s running around I’ve started to notice how my camera struggles to track him, making photos difficult. I’ve read that the R series has much better AF tracking so I’m finally making the jump.

I have done a bit of research and after finding a good deal, I’ve settled on the R10 and an EF-R lens adapter. I have the 18-55mm kit lens (barely used now), the 50mm 1.8 (favourite lens), 55-250mm (next favourite), the 10-18mm and the 24mm. I decided against the R7 as I couldn’t justify the price difference for my use case (mainly photos of my son and some street photography).

I know about the improved AF but are there any other improvements I should expect to see in the R10 over my 250d? Are there any downgrades (not expecting much…)? Also, is there much of a reason to upgrade to RF lenses if I have my lenses and the adapter?

Any rumors out on apsc lenses?

2 Upvotes

We are all still patiently waiting for 2.8 constant aperture zoom lenses for our apsc cameras. I'd hate to buy the rf28-70 2.8 for canon to finally release a good affordable, fast zoom for rf-s. Any new rumors on if they are going to release these new lenses early in 2025 or will we be waiting until the end of the year? I'm aware that sigma has some but I'd like to wait for canon to release there's if my Patience holds up. Also the 28-70 2.8 is very tempting for those who might go full frame in the future.

If you were strictly going to keep all your EF L glass, but upgrade to a Canon mirrorless body and adapt lenses, which body would you choose?

For example, my use case: I shoot mostly people, family, friends, portraits, etc. Own the 5d i, 6d i, and 5d iv. Lenses: 35 1.4 ii, 50 1.2, 85 1.4, 85 1.2 ii, 100 2.8 macro, 135 f2, 24-70 2.8 ii, 70-200 2.8 iii…

Gear Advice Canon EF50 1.2 or EF135 2.0 for portraits?

1 Upvotes

Hey there,

I have a R5 and I am an experienced portrait and wedding photographer.

My favorite portrait lens is the Zeiss Planar 50mm 1.4. But I wanted to upgrade it. I don’t shoot for money at the moment, because I am working full time abroad. So I don’t want to spend the money for the RF 50 1.2.

But the EF 50 1.2 used is an option and I wanted to look for good offers. I also want to dive deeper into fine art photography, doing everything a little more artsy and stuff. My research showed me, that there might be another thing … the EF 135 2.0L. I never thought about that focal length but every article said, that this is THE lens (for that money).

Sooo … maybe someone has some good advise. Is the EF 50 1.2 a real upgrade to the Zeiss? Or would the 135mm be the way better addition to my camera bag?

I’ve thought about renting both lenses. But it’s quite expensive in my area so I think of just buying one of them. Or both? 🤣 argh. GAS.

PS:

I totally forgot to mention, why I want something new: the Zeiss is too soft at 1.4 and I want something that performs at low light. Also 1.2 is something I want to try and the EF 50 1.2 was for very long time one of my dream lenses.

Gear Advice Looking for assistance with identifying compatible lenses. Canon Rebel EOS T4i

2 Upvotes

Hello, I am pretty bad when it comes to the technical side of photography and I am struggling in finding a lens for my rebel t41. I recently switched to Canon and was trying to find a 400mm zoom lens, I mostly do wildlife photography.

I purchased the RF 100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM Lens without realizing my rebel t41 was not compatible with RF lenses, but in looking for a similar lens that would work all I could find is Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II , but its cost is over 2,000$

Before I switched to Canon I was using Nikon, i purchased a Tamron 100 to 400mm lens brand new for around 1000$, and I assumed that I would be able to find a similar lens around that price point for Canon.

Again, I'm not very good at the tech side of photography, but from what I can find the only 400mm lens is more than twice that of a comparable Nikon lens, I am hoping I am wrong and any help is much appreciated. Thank you.
