Hi - it’s me again🙃
So I I hadn’t heard about the R until I read a post on the canon R Facebook group ….searched l here —-didn’t find much:
I was planning to buy an R8 after much thoughtful consideration & discussion in this forum
I’m re-entering the camera market having been away from using a DSLR - I owned a Rebel T1 or T2i !!!! To recap I like shooting swim meets (for daughter, 2 seasons left) but mostly , beach pics, large birds (in Florida they practically pose for you!)… pets, family events, nature/ outdoors and seashells I arrange in mixed media with other found objects.
I don’t really want a camera for its video capabilities (not a content creator) — it’ll be nice for the teens to use, maybe, butchers iPhones… so video is not my reason for buying - I prefer full frame as I still have 2 EF lenses.
So I saw a discussion about the R over the R8 and that has me wondering: . , would I i get an equivalent but less expensive camera if I go with the R instead of the R8 ?
What do I lose photographically if I choose an R over anR8 ? Or vice versa?
I am going to an in-store vendor event this Friday and was told to expect some pretty significant discounts.
Budget is around $1200-1500.
