    OM-1 vs Canon R7 both w/100-400

    I was debating the two set ups as well. Ended up purchasing a third option - Sony A6700 with Sony 70-350mm lens (525mm equivalent reach). Love it. It’s the same size or smaller than the Nikon P950 and weighs 2 pounds. We are loving the bird-eye autofocus. It’s not a perfect set up by any means...

    Any theories on why I keep choosing a cheaper bin?

    My son has a pair of Vortex Viper 8x42 and a pair of Vortex Raptors 8.5x32. I know that the Raptors are lighter and have slightly more magnification power, but I'm not convinced that's the whole story. Sometimes I feel like the colors are more vibrant, but it could just be my mind playing...
