Currently looking at the Canon EOS R10 for wildlife and macro photography. I have a Canon EOS Rebel T3i, but I would prefer something more portable, with Bluetooth and an articulated screen. What are some suggestions I should take into consideration when deciding for a camera? Budget wise I don’t think I would like to exceed the 1k mark. I should add I’m fairly naïve and trying to learn as much as I can, perhaps my T3i is plenty enough. I do own a Canon SX720HS that I reach for often because it’s light and small, but I would prefer far more quality and control that a dslr can offer

Hi and welcome to the forum:
Can I suggest reading the following guide for those folks in your situation:
Considerations when considering buying camera gear
Wildlife and macro are both fairly specialized areas in terms of the lenses involved. One of the traps that people often fall into is to concentrate on the camera body, whereas the optics are often the greater investment and have a greater impact on the resultant image.
$1,000 is not a great budget when considering getting both optics and a body, so I will pose a couple of immediate questions for you:
1. What lenses are you currently using - please be specific as to the models as there may be several for the same focal range.
2. It is tempting for folks in our position to suggest camera bodies and lenses that we like or use, but what you get must be specific to your needs and limitations. In that respect, what is it precisely that your current gear is not doing for you, or holding you back? Or, to rephrase it, what do you hope to gain by switching from your current gear?
