    Best Lenses for Busy City Bird Photography?

    Normally, the most obvious choice would be the new RF100-400 - light, compact (for what it is) and less conspicuous. Problem is it's really just duplicating what you have with your current lens. The Canon RF 24-240mm F4-6.3 is another option. Not as much reach though but could use as a...

    R7 - Shipping Notice vs Backorder - first impressions from the lucky few

    I've been happier than expected by the low level noise capabilities of the R7. It's not a low light camera, but can do ok in the right circumstances. This was taken very early morning at ISO 12800

    R7 - Shipping Notice vs Backorder - first impressions from the lucky few

    Thought I'd post an early image shot on the R7. Very early days at the moment as I haven't really learnt the camera or set it up properly, especially the focusing. It really needs RAW editing support as currently only Canon's own software can open RAWs properly. It feels and operates quite...

    R7 to be announced soon.

    I think you've miss represented what he said here and perhaps you should re read what he did say. I can't even see where he mentions cost and certainly doesn't make the comparison to full frame being better due to that. Now someone had continued with this and mentioning the OM-1 which isn't...

    Om-1 And Mike Lane vids

    I think you find that Canon prices are no real different from other full frame systems such as Nikon and Sony when balanced out. Full frame is bound to cost more money simply down to having more material within their construction. If money was no object, I would love to have a OM 1 and the...

    R6 or R7

    Can't imagine how people managed to cope before 40+ megapixel cameras so they 'could crop'. I guess they had to rely on good old fashion field craft techniques. And yes you can crop. The crop myth obsession has been going since the early days of digital cameras and with every increase in...

    R6 or R7

    Not sure how helpful the last two comments have been to answering the question. The R6 is a great camera and one of the best for low light conditions where I shoot up to 256,00 ISO. The R7's noise performance won't be as good being a crop sensor and 32 mp sensor, so maybe not so suitable for...

    Is the Canon R6 a bird photographer's camera ?

    Just seen your comment regarding my blog. Thanks. You may have now seen strong rumours regarding the R7, possibly coming out at the end of the year, if you haven't already brought the R6. I would probably get one to complement my R6 but even if they do come out this year, I'm guessing the...

    Canon EF Camera Recommendations?

    You don't mention your budget or level of expertise. At the lower end you have the 80/90D. I still have the 80D and it served me well for years. Autofocus for BIF is ok but not great. The 90D is a slight step up in focusing but otherwise bigger improvements all round. Then you have the 5D...
