looking for a camera that is right for me

i want a canera that has good video mode and auto-focus on moving subjects like pets for my YouTube channel. i currently have a canon eos 4000D and you have to manually focus it in video mode. i also want a camera that takes good landscape photos. my budget is $500. thank you so much

What lenses do you have?

An R100 is well within your budget, but it would be better to stretch and get the R50.

ginger1,

Right now, you can get a used R100 with an RF 18-45 and an RF 55-210 lenses through Canon for $599.

Not a bad deal, I think.

There is no R7 Mk II, it has not been released or even announced yet.

The R100 is good for a budget model but it may miss out some features you need.It has a fixed screen that cant be rotated for selfie video.Will that be an issue? It's also not a touch screen.
If you want those features the next model up -the R50- has those.

yeah i was talking to my friend and he said that if i were to get a mirrorless, get the r50 but another option is the 80d since i have a dslr and i wouldn't have to buy new lenses so im going to research about them for a few weeks before i make my decision. tysm!

Did you know you can buy an adapter to use your EF-S lenses on mirrorless cameras? Sorry to confuse the situation even more😅

ginger1,

You can get a Used R50 for about the $500 you have in your budget, and if you can swing the $125 for an adapter, you can use your existing lenses.

A quick rule of thumb... go for the fastest processor you can afford.
