Camera + lens bundle selection recommendations

PiedSec — Thu, 12 Dec 2024 15:52:20 GMT

I have Camera + lens bundle purchase options to choose from. Price difference is around $100.

Canon EOS 2000D with EF 75-300mm lens

Or Canon EOS R100 with RF-S 55-210mm lens.

For wildlife and bird photography, will the 300mm optical zoom still be a benefit over the new mirrorless technology for farther distance shooting?

No, the 75-300 does not have IS, while the 55-210 does. This will allow you to crop to a tighter image.

Go with the R100, that is the future of the technology.

Agreed, the IS and overall improvement in the AF are going to perform significantly better with an R system.

2000D - 18 MP APS-C sensor - 9 AF points
R100 - 24.1 MP APS-C sensor - Stills: Max. 3975 positions - eye and face tracking

Even though the R100 is bottom of the range it's better than the 2000D. Plus the RF-S 55-210mm is a sharper lens and has image stabilization.Some of that sharpness will make up for the shorter focal length because you can crop harder.
IMHO it's the R system all day long
