I have a dilemma (probably several, but I’m only looking for help with this one!). Before we moved a couple of years ago, my Canon DSLR kit was used frequently for sports at my rugby club and for school rugby, football and various other events. The other main use was wildlife, mainly birds in the garden and out and about plus family stuff.
I built up some decent kit - Canon 7d and 7dii, Canon 70-200ii, Canon 100-400ii, Canon 24-105...... It all now lives in a kit bag and with reduced travelling and getting older is unlikely to get the use it needs. BUT, when we do go on our travels, it would be good to have a decent long lens for wildlife and a camera kit for the odd landscape and recording memories that involves a bit less strength to lug around. I looked at mirrorless a few years ago and couldn’t cope with the electronic viewfinder as I could see the screen flicker.
So can anyone help with what’s around - I’ll probably do an exchange at MPB. Smaller than the 7d and mirrorless seems to make sense, but with a decent FPS rate (I’m used to 12fps) and a decent 400mm lens for catching bird life. Does it even exist?
