I mainly use my camera for sports, primarily football. For now, I plan to use my Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 and Tamron EF 70-200mm f/2.8 with a lens adapter until I have the funds to get RF lenses.</P> Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:56:54 GMT somabko1 2025-02-22T09:56:54Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Gear-Guide/R7-or-R8/m-p/535897#M890 <P>I want to upgrade from my Canon 80D to a mirrorless camera, and I am trying to decide between the R7 and R8.
