More new Canon mirrorless cameras, APS-C this time.

And the cheapest, the EOS R10, is under £900 for body only.
The R7 is about £1350, but adds a few features.

If these handle well, have a good menu system, and have great autofocus and low light performance, they'll take a whole chunk of sales from some other makes.

I'm sticking with my 5D3 for now, but I'm beginning to feel the need for lighter gear...

I’m going to Brands on Sunday. I’ll take my 70-200mm f/2.8 IS, 1.4x and 16-35mm F/4. The lens not in use will fit in my lightweight canvas man bag, and that’s that. I’ll be taking it easy though, walking around the circuits undulations can get tiring.

I see people at circuits with their dSLRs on tripods… why???

i only use my 100-400 L these days.

I like hanging around in the pit garages when it’s allowed. The 16-35 comes into its own then.

i could see that would be the case.

I am trying a Canon 5DS which is not really sporting and may need a tripod. I find that my big damaged hands do not suit mirrorless cameras. 7D with F4 70-200 produces great images of Lola T70s.

To get the best out of it, you will need a tripod for that body.

Ha Recently got an R6 (which is amazing) but would have considered one of these instead

Why? What is wrong with it?

Why? What is wrong with it?

The S stands for Studio and I am using it for Landscape photography. Old tech 50mp sensor . no in body stabilisation and poor high ISO performance. I got it mint and very cheap so I am experimenting with it, so far getting great images - better than my 5Dii.

 

[Bananahead]

Ah makes sense then.
The 5D2 is very old now. I am very happy with my R5 - it's much nicer than my previous 5D3. It's not much smaller so there are no finger issues.

Nothing. Canon recommended that at the launch event I went to. Tripod mount is strengthened to get the best out of high res .

herb's answer was better It's not that high res.

Thanks, useful to know. My mirrorless Fujifilm X-Pro is annoyingly small.

Not now but it was when introduced
