EOS R50 upgrade suggestions for wildlife and sports videos

I currently own Canon R50. I am using it mainly for shooting video. Which camera would you guys recommend me if i am going to shoot 90% of the time video. More specific wild-life and sports?

Greetings,

Please tell us about your current gear. What do you have now? The R50, and wet lenses?

What about your existing camera doesn't work for you?

We'll also need a budget in order to make solid recommendations.

I think you should spend some time getting to know your camera and figuring out what doesn't meet your needs. If you truly need another camera, we're happy to help you choose, but again, I'd really like for you to tell us what you're not getting from your existing gear.

I have 2 lenses- Canon RF-S 18-45mm and Canon RF-S 55-210mm. My budget for my future camera is around 2000-2500$ body. I think that i need a camera with in-body stabilization and high fps for the fast actions in the nature and for the sports.

EOS R6 Mark II can shoot stills at up to 40fps with electronic shutter, and shoot video in 1080p up to 180fps.

EOS R5 Mark II can shoot still at up to 30fps with electronic shutter and shoot video in 1080p up to 240fps, and 4K up to 120fps.

However neither of your lenses will be optimal with these full-frame cameras.

The only crop sensor camera with IBIS is the EOS R7, it can shoot stills at up to 30fps with electronic shutter, and video in 1080p up to 120fps. It would work fine with your current RF-S lenses.

Your best upgrade would be to faster lenses, not to a different camera body still limited by your narrow aperture lenses.
