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

    Me too! And even then, I'm thinking about a 5DMkIV. Because the 90D is not a real replacement and you can't buy new 7DII cameras anymore. Maybe, there is a good used one somewhere. In the meantime I invest my money in binoculars, already upgraded my spotting scope this year :)

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

    Just trying to help :) There are lots of manuals for the 7DII settings, but most of them are quite complicated. Many settings give very slight improvements, better skip them for now and work on the important ones. The 7DII has great AF but when working with the 100-400 II the zones are too...

    My fault, I thought that the Sony was total loss :) When buying used equipment it may be possible with your budget, it depends on the country though. What I've learned with the 7DII, if you have the autofocus settings right, use back button focus, things like that, it outperforms the...

    Another thing, it makes a lot of difference if you have the 7DII and 100 -400 Mk2, are very satisfied with the combination and start thinking about switching, like me. Or if you have the 7DII and want to get a better lens and/or a better camera In your case I simply would not buy the EF 100 -...

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

    Ok, this is just my personal opinion based on my style of photography: 95% of my pictures are flying raptors at large distances (500 m to 5 km). At this moment I don't want to change my 7DII with 100 - 400 M2 for the mirrorless bodies. It's the EVF, I don't want a sensor to decide to leave out...
