    same quest, new question: which to pick? 2nd hand 7dm2 + EF 100-400 mk2 OR R7 + EF 100-400 mk1

    I played around a bit on my family trip to Texel this week, no chance to change settings, so i did it the old way again...will do my best to make custom settings for flying birds, insects in sun and birds in drab weather, that should cover most of my outings for now. Changing light intake...

    same quest, new question: which to pick? 2nd hand 7dm2 + EF 100-400 mk2 OR R7 + EF 100-400 mk1

    Yes, Drenthe is my main area (Drentse Aa and Onlanden mostly) True, I hope to find some good stuff...and relearn working with 7dm2*... It is weird how easy it is to forget even the basics after only 3 months without that camera * and learn lots more, I never really did learn how to use more...

    same quest, new question: which to pick? 2nd hand 7dm2 + EF 100-400 mk2 OR R7 + EF 100-400 mk1

    thanks all for the comments, it went quickly after this; yesterday I received a new second hand 7dm2, which looks rather near brand new. Also yesterday while slowly dismissing M P B as option, I encountered a rather bargain sale of a 2nd hand 100-400 m2 in our local (but also operating nation...

    same quest, new question: which to pick? 2nd hand 7dm2 + EF 100-400 mk2 OR R7 + EF 100-400 mk1

    It is me first, then the lens, then the camera, I reckon. A well-experienced user would have made loads of better shots no doubt. But the Sigma was known to be a bit slow and a tad soft under more difficult circumstances.. like most of my Japan trip in March 2020. The sweet Sony Superzoom I am...

    same quest, new question: which to pick? 2nd hand 7dm2 + EF 100-400 mk2 OR R7 + EF 100-400 mk1

    Thanks but i meant 2000 euros as a max, your combination makes 2200 euros...acceptable yet it it lacks the adapter and some kind of insurance i would like to have for the lens. Mpb has 7dm2 with 100400m2 for 1800 euros, excl insurance plan. That sounds doable. Cheers Gerben

    same quest, new question: which to pick? 2nd hand 7dm2 + EF 100-400 mk2 OR R7 + EF 100-400 mk1

    Thanks for your replies! I started this thread half expecting nobody would reply. At the moment I am waiting for a new R7 to arrive at my door. However, the moment I ordered it, doubt crept in yet again. The new price was quite a bit over budget so there is little room left for a lens. The...

    same quest, new question: which to pick? 2nd hand 7dm2 + EF 100-400 mk2 OR R7 + EF 100-400 mk1

    I posted about my quest earlier this week and did get one reply... This question is maybe better for you all. Up until this july I was rather pleased with my 7Dm2 and Sigma 100-400 lens. They were the best I could do a few years ago. It was a huge step up from my trusty superzoom Sony hx400v but...
