I have a 7DMarkii that is diagnosed with a faulty motherboard. The camera is well used and inspite of having serviced it at a cost of 500dollar US some time back it now needs a major overhaul to keep. I think this is not an option. It has served me well for 5 years now.
I also have 100-400mm IS II USM which is a great lens but for quite some time now the auto focus jumps from time to time. I was told it is only a matter of time before it needs replacing.
So, in today's market there are so many options. Change to Nikon, Sony or stay with Canon?
I must say I think the 7DII isnt worth another now rather oldish model. The D90 might do the same job? Then wait for the lens to crash and get another either 2nd hand or new. Not really looking for a 3rd party lens but both Tamron and Sigma are options.
I always handhold my gear while birding. Not an all out photographer.
The mirrorless setups so heavily promoted by many are overpriced in my opinion. Sony looking the best but service of Sony is very costly and not easy here in Bangkok.
I realize there as many options as photographers but if anyone has input I would be grateful!
