EOS R100 RF-S18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM Lens Kit

DSLRs aren't much of a thing anymore. I mean they are - but generally speaking, most people are on mirrorless system these days. If you're planning on using auto focus, you'll likely want to stay away from DSLRs. I can't imagine, even from a price point, DSLR being a better pick over a mirrorless sy

The R100 is the go to. Decent quality at a decent price. If you think you might do some slow-mo gigs, you can go for the R50, but with the R50 you will also need an adapter to use non Canon flashes.

The ‘go to’ bird starter pack these days sees to be something like a used Canon R50 or R100 plus the Canon RF 100-400, which gets you a reach of about 640mm due to the crop sensor on those cameras. However even with used prices you’re over $1,000 easily. I’m using a Canon M6 MK II along with a Sigma

$300 ish but id strongly recommend checking out the Canon R100

Go for canon eos r100. It’s around 43k and is a mirrorless. Launched 2 years ago

I've been birding since June and I really like taking pics of what I see, but all I have is my phone and I'm tired of the shit quality. Would this EOS R100 lens kit be a worthwhile step up from a phone? Or do I need to get something fancier to make the investment pay off?

I’m always seeing sales on the Canon R100 for $499 new with a lens. That doesn’t include a memory card most of the time (unless you get one of the adorama sales), but used it should be an even better deal.

buying a brand new t7 in 2025 is a bit of a waste of money. the r100 is basically the same camera, but mirrorless, and it doesn't cost much more. I'd recommend going used, however. websites like mpb have plenty of used camera gear for a much better price than you'll get a brand new older camera for,

If you're considering Canon, go for R50 instead of the R100. It's a much better camera. Many compromises were made with the R100 to reach the low price. R50 + 18-45mm kit lens is $699 currently at B&H Photo.

Canon R100 (entry level assoluta, per chi si avvicinia a questo mondo è comunque straordinaria). Ora ho dei veri ricordi dei momenti speciali, e non quelle foto finte fatte dagli smartphone con 7 camere diverse: costo intorno ai 500€
