Eos R7 or R10?

Day,

I wanted to ask your opinion on which camera would be the better choice for me. I currently own the 2000D and plan to switch to a new camera soon. Since I mainly photograph wildlife (but also landscapes), the 3 fps limits me a bit. Let's not even get started on the 2000D's autofocus.

The question now is whether the €400-500 premium for the R7 is worth it. I've owned both, and the R7 felt much better and more valuable. The larger viewfinder also suited me better. I'm not sure yet whether the IBIS is really worth it for me. I often shoot with a tripod and fast shutter speeds, but I don't always have a tripod with me. And since I only work with the camera outdoors (in the forest, mountains), the weatherproof housing and the sensor cover for lens changes would be useful. Besides, the battery is also larger…

My budget isn't going to be an issue. I had this in mind: I'd get either the R7 or the R10 and save the rest for a lens.

Thanks

I had both in my hand and the R7 felt much better and more worth.

That’s kind of latte. What’s important is something coming out. If you often have the camera on tripod, it’s logically no matter how it feels. I think that you can get used to much if you are a little adaptable.

If IBIS is really so worthwhile for me, I do not yet know.

With long focal lengths it is not so effective. It’s better in the lens. A good lens is so well stabilized that you can’t realize the times at all in the wildlife because of motion blur. Then why another one?

the weather-protected housing and the cover in front of the sensor during the lens change already sensible. The battery is also larger…

Everything nice to have, but not absolutely necessary. Weather protection is easy to retrofit, you usually do not need and replacement battery is also not a topic.

But if you have the money and it doesn’t matter, you just get the “better” camera.

You have to decide.

As I see, you’ve been researching what’s the difference between the two cameras. Whether it’s worth the extra charge is your decision.

For a normal occasional photographer, the R10 is sufficient. The R7 is virtually the Luxu variant, which still offers many features that are all very comfortable but not a must-have. The R10 is more portable and weighs less.

From the image quality and isolating: Do you notice a distinct difference from Aps-c to VF?

You can look at the difference here.

Studio shot comparison: Digital Photography Review (dpreview.com)

If you look at it in 100% view, it is already a difference. You have a finer noise. However, it does not fall in weight in an insane manner on the Internet image/instagram size. More important is the difference in Bokeh, a 50mm 1.8 already provides beautiful blurs.

It’s a bit older and the first camera in the R series. 8 B/s should also be sufficient for wild photography.

For wildlife photography, the R in my opinion is only Note 3, at least for things that move towards you. Since the R10/R7 is significantly better, they can also reliably track a dog that stands for you.

Also the processor is probably not at the level of an R7.

Jopp in the R is a Digic 8 and in the R10/R7 the succession generation Digic X, which is also installed in the 1DX III.

I think the sensor is installed from the 5d m4.

Correct, the image quality is on the same level.

I get the R10 with ef-r adapter + Cashback already at 840€.

Even only 800€:

An R8 would be enough. Or hold used R6.

if you are in the first line about a high serial number, you should access the now cheaper dslr of the 1digit row, even the 90D creates up to 11 images/sec

then rather invest in the L 2.8 70-200, if necessary with IS. for the R-series you need new objective ones and they are still really sauteuer
