    R7+RF200-800 or OM-1 + 150-600?

    Oh no, I didn't mean "raw is harder", I meant "I don't feel like editing photos is something for me". Whether raw or jpeg. Cropping is fine, but I'm not going to photoshop a branch out of my pictures. Some extend of de-noising might be used later on, but I spend 8 hours a day on a computer, plus...

    R7+RF200-800 or OM-1 + 150-600?

    I was mainly looking new because of the "I have no idea what I'm doing" factor, making me feel very lost if I were to try to find something like Blocket (what to check for, etc). I'll admit I thought MPB was a US thing. For the rest, I did look second hand at scandinavian photo, mattssons (my...

    R7+RF200-800 or OM-1 + 150-600?

    Thanks, it is true that I focus a lot on it, as it also serves for me as a way of knowing what I'm looking at. But I would like for instance pictures like this one to actually work well with the next camera. Based on my understanding of exiftool, this is taken at roughly 5m distance (I think a...

    R7+RF200-800 or OM-1 + 150-600?

    That's a very good point. So IS will only help for perched birds. That's currently 99% of my shots since the SX50hs wouldn't be able to do anything else. Unfortunately, I didn't find any rental for this kind of equipment. The local shop said they would let me shoot it in the street, but they...

    R7+RF200-800 or OM-1 + 150-600?

    Thanks, yes I did consider going for the OM1 and 100-400 as that still gives 800 of reach, and theoretically I can add a 1.4x. That'd be bad, but still better than my current camera. However the 100-400 is without sync so I feel that the TC would be a bit dodgy. If I buy the 100-400 mark ii...

    R7+RF200-800 or OM-1 + 150-600?

    Hi all, I'm looking for a successor to my SX50HS. I mainly walk around in the forest and shoot when I hear and can find a cool bird (which is most of them, really), so I usually walk upwards of 10-15 km in a session. I mainly do birds (and usually they end up being songbirds), but any wildlife...

    Hello from (South) Sweden

    Hi :) Just landed on here after searching for opinions on cameras. I'm not out of the woods yet, which is luckily where the birds are, but hopefully within a week I'll have decided on my camera. I'm a "young" (31) engineer in Lund. I spend most of my free time taking pictures of birds, more or...
