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

It's all a matter of perspective...

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.

60D is still a great body but I’m in a position where I can upgrade to something more contemporary. I like shiny, new (or even slightly used) things.

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 If you're mainly doing sports/wildlife there's the 7Dmk2 which is outdated compared to recent cameras but was the top of the line prosumer outdoors aps-c for a while.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

- SIGMA 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary

Launching in Q4 of 2024

- SIGMA 10-18mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary
- SIGMA 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary
- SIGMA 23mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary
- SIGMA 30mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary
- SIGMA 56mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary

Also 1 confirmed from Tamron. Again, APS-C only so far.

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.

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.

Sell some organs and get that 100-300 2.8.

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.
