If you have no skills, you’re still likely to take lousy photos whether you have $100 worth of gear or $20,000 worth of gear. Once you have a certain level of skill, lower quality gear can absolutely hold you back, especially if you’re shooting fast-moving subjects or in low light. Sports photograph

Generally lenses are a better investment than upgrading to a new body unless there is something specific you need from a new body. How is your R6 holding you back, or what do you think an R5 II would give you that would help your photography? Personally you got at least 2 lenses I would replace ASAP

I switched from canon to Sony when the a7r II came out and tbh I loved it, I thought the colours were great and it really rekindled my passion for photography. I switched it out for a couple of a7iiis because of the autofocus and it was so much better for weddings but then I didn’t change them again

I'd recommend the R7 if you get it for the right price, it should be around $1100 or less secondhand, sometimes goes way lower on sale through Canon's refurbished program in the USA. Whenever the R7 Mark II releases it'll be way more expensive, and I don't expect the original R7's price will drop al

So, this tends to upset some people but I was very disappointed with the Rp. It's not a bad camera, but the sensor technology was a real letdown when it came out, and one of Canon's bigger mis-steps in the otherwise excellent EOS R line. Essentially, the Rp sensor is old, noisy, and slow compared to

The R6mk2 will give you less noise in low light situations with high ISO. This is primarily due to each pixel on the R6mk2 being larger than on your R10 (and on the R7), so they each can capture more light. Beyond that, the biggest difference is the ergonomics of the cameras and features offered. Th

Get the R6 II it is still a fantastic camera and can be found used/refurbished for $1k less than the MK III. Unless you shoot video professionally there is no reason to get the MK III. Yes 32mp vs. 24mp sounds like a nice bump but in reality its much less than it sounds. It is only around a 14% incr

I don’t know if you already bought a camera but I am in a similar boat. I used to do semi-professional photography while in graduate school where I bought the Canon EOS R used about half a year before the R6 and R5 were launched. The lenses that I shoot on are the Sigma 35mm 1.4 Art and 85mm 1.4 Art

Canon R5 and R6 for like 99% of the paid work I do and then a Fuji X100VI for fun (and sometimes paid work). I sold off most of my Nikon gear before switching to the canon R series, but kept my D700 and some primes for nostalgia reasons (and it still makes great photos). I love most of what my mirro

Sorry for not getting back to you. I don't know anything about the Nikon, except what I've seen online, and it probably would be fine for your use. Regarding the Canon R6, at this point I think I'd stay away from the R6 and sooner look at the R6mk2 or R6mk3, depending on your budget. I have the R8,
