the R8 is currently on sale for $1099 refurbished which is a hell of a sensor if you can stretch it a bit the RP is also on sale for $899 if you do want to stick with ASPC I'd still recommend keeping an eye on Canon Price Watch over the next few days as Canon tends to put out refurb sale stuff in waves

i am kiss u now posted:So, I’ve started to think about getting back into just some hobby photography again, as my girlfriend is also expressing some interest as well, and my current body is a Canon EOS 60D, and a range of entry-mid level lenses (including several “red-rings.”). My question is, what is sort of the modern equivalent of the 60D in APS-C? I’d be looking to replace the body only, and ideally under $1000. A goon has an R7 in the buy-sell thread right now. The Ef-R adapters generally work well so all your old glass should be portable to an R body. There may be a few EF lenses that that prevent shooting at maximum fps on the R bodies but pretty much anything is going to seem faster than the 60D. Mirrorless is definitely the future but if you really want to stay in DSLR land you could go for a like new 90D (closest analog to the 60D), or FF options like a 6Dmk2 or good condition 5Dmk4. If you're mainly doing sports/wildlife there's the 7Dmk2 which is outdated compared to recent cameras but was the top of the line prosumer outdoors aps-c for a while.

Thanks, everyone. This gives me some really great places to start and research to do.

Awww yiss, first two waves of Sigma RF lenses confirmed and it includes the entire F1.4 DC suite. It looks like they're going the Nikon Z route and only letting them license APS-C lenses so far though. Some stupid rumors site posted:Launching in July, 2024 Also 1 confirmed from Tamron. Again, APS-C only so far. "11-20mm F/2.8 Di III-A RXD" RillAkBea fucked around with this message at 10:54 on Apr 23, 2024 |

I first saw the news through a petapixel article that didn't mention APS-C only until 3/4 of the way through the article and I was so loving mad when I got there

Very cool lineup for the R7 though and the crop line was what was lacking the most for Canon mirrorless. Eager to see what else follows for full frame.

I know huge apertures are all the rage these days but I really hope third parties put out cheaper primes with a maximum of f/2.8 or f/4. A big bag of tiny primes is really attractive to me. Granted ~400 grams isn't catastrophically heavy but their 16mm 1.4 is still more than twice as heavy as the Canon 16mm.

Bottom Liner posted:Very cool lineup for the R7 though and the crop line was what was lacking the most for Canon mirrorless. Yup, I understand the disappointment for FF users, but as an R7 owner I’ve been hoping on something like this for RF-S. Hopefully it’s not an APS-C only deal though as next on my wishlist is one of those zoomy long boys.

A big bag of tiny primes is really attractive to me. I have the EF-M Samyang/Rokinon 12mm F/2.0 and it's just an amazing lens for backpacking. Super light, great for night shots, and super easy to deal with the focus given it's so wide. I also picked up the 16mm F/1.4. It's a great lens, but it's so drat heavy with a tiny mirrorless body that I don't even really bother bringing it anywhere. I am glad to see they're bringing them to the RF mount though. Now if only Canon would bring the EF-M 22mm F/2 pancake to the RF-S mount..

Anyone have any ideas where to find a 24-105 f/2.8 in stock? Every single place I've checked is out of stock / preorder only.

Well it didn't take long for Sigma to throw Canon completely under the bus. "No more waiting."

I *just* picked up the EFS 17-55 2.8 for my R7 because I was pissed off waiting. It's a good lens, even on the R7. But holy loving poo poo is this thing heavy as fuuuuuck. I'll be nabbing that Sigma. It's half the weight, and the quality will probably be slightly better since it's taking into account these insane sensors from the getgo. I don't think it has IS, but the R7 has amazing IBIS, so I'm not too worried losing a stop or two in that focal range. That 10-18 2.8, too. Good lord what a great line-up!

Yeah, I assume it was designed with Sony 24MP in mind but it appears to be able to keep up with Fuji 40MP without much degradation. Sony E Mount https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ymx2Lx5A22U Fuji X Mount https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHYuznfaf5c It looks like there are a few weird spots in the formula where the old 17-55 might be doing better ~on paper~, but overall it looks pretty good and the weight reduction would be worth it alone. Same tests with 17-55 on R7 for comparison https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMVs9ndRe74 Philthy posted:You will not be disappointed with the RF 100-400 on the R7. It's a must own in my book.

RillAkBea posted:Fuji X Mount Yeah, that Fuji video has me sold. It's so tiny! Comparing against the 17-55 video, it looks about the same, but holy moly, the weight, plus the EF to RF adapter. It's as big as my RF 100-400 and weighs a lot more. The 100-400 you can walk around all day with it in one hand, but the 17-55 I need to switch hands or constantly cup the lens because it's so dang heavy.

I have the Fuji version of the 18-50 and it's a great little lens.

I've been watching any video I can on the 18-50. I cannot believe how sharp that is at 2.8. I really really really want this lens.

Hello, thread. I recently expressed a vague interest in photography and my wife dug out a pristine (only around 70 shots ever taken) 600D/T3i out of a cupboard and I've been having a blast with it so far. I managed to find a great price on the EF-S 55-200mm lens second hand and my goal is to take a nice photo of the angry, friendless Heron that lives on the riverbank near our house. I just couldn't get close enough with the 18-55mm kit lens that the camera came with, so here's hoping I'll get it with a bit of extra reach.

Endman posted:Hello, thread. Hopefully you mean the 55-250? In which case, yeah that’s about long enough for Herons no problem! I started out photographing birds just over a year ago on a 700D and EF-S 55-250 (ver. 1) so a very similar setup.

Yep, that's the one I'll probably grab a shorter, wider lens at some point in the future for travel/landscape sort of shots, but I think this is enough to keep me busy for the time being. I know from other hobbies it's extremely easy to slip into dumping mountains of cash into gear instead of actually doing the hobby.

The 55-250 is one of my favorite EFS lenses. It's very sharp and vibrant. You can get really close up shots (bugs, flowers, ect) with it also if you ever go that direction, the magnification is great. Paired with the decent kit lens, you should have a good kit to hike around with if you get a 3L size bag.

The STM version is my go-to lens with my M50 when I want to stay light but still be able to capture birds, etc. Endman posted:I'll probably grab a shorter, wider lens at some point in the future for travel/landscape sort of shots, but I think this is enough to keep me busy for the time being.

I haven't personally used it, but if you want to go wider my understanding is that the EF-S 10-18mm lens is great and it's easily available for relatively cheap.

The 10-18 is perfectly fine, yeah. If you want to plan ahead for a possible future, the Sigma 14-24 is great, but obviously wider on crop.
