I just booked my trip of a lifetime to go see polar bears in Churchill in November. Was looking at the R7 and RF 100-400 lens. I’m new to mirrorless cameras and definitely not a professional photographer. Would also like to be able to shoot airshows. Can I learn to use this by November? Is this a good combo to get? Any other must have starter lenses for “everyday” use? Thanks in advance….I appreciate the feedback from the knowledge I’ve seen in this community

November should be enough time to learn the system. I have an R7 and was using that 100-400mm lens for a little while. The focal length should be sufficient and the image quality surprisingly great. The only issue would be to make sure you have enough light. It's a dark lens on an APS-C body. Dark mornings and evenings may be problematic. Clear daytime shouldn't be an issue. Sounds like a great trip!
