Hi. I have been reading a lot of info here and talking to photographers. I'm still a bit stuck in regard to my purchase. I owned a canon rebel DSLR from 2003- 2017 until the shutter button broke. along came the iPhone and kids and I never replaced that camera--but it's time. I have used my in-laws D90 (nikon) and while a beast it is a great camera.
I know the following:

I’m down to the R10 or the R8. Why should one choose go with full format ?

Thanks! If the vendor event offers a great deal in my budget I’m going to have to choose R10 or R8….bug good to know the r50 is a solid buy to get started!

Thanks! If the vendor event has a steel on the R6 or R8 that may be the way to go.
Otherwise it seems the R10 is a solid option. And the r50 next

Hey pros - a new question. Is full frame not fornat going to be around a while? Or is it going to be obsolete in a few years like dslr?

What exactly do you mean by full format? You're not asking about full frame, are you?
12-07-2024 08:23 AM
FULL FRAME. yes.

Full Frame is the same format size that 35mm film has been for decades. I don't see that going away for a long, long time.

Full frame isn't going anywhere, it's a standard for small format. Personally between the two I would go with the R8. Full frame sensor, body is weather sealed, focus points, 1053 R8 vs 651 R10 = 402 more focus points. The R8 is also a newer body by almost a year so it will have a longer service life then the R10.

Yes Canon is rock solid behind full frame.Almost all their mirrorless lenses are for full frame

It's too bad Canon didn't maintain the M series - it sounds like an M50 or a newer incarnation of it would have been a good fit for you in terms of price, capability and ergonomics. Because of the latter if I were to buy into the R series I would likely have to lean towards an R10 rather than the otherwise capable and logical R50. Whatever way you decide to go, try it in your hand with at least one RF (as opposed to RF-S) lens, or any EF/EF-S lens with an adapter if you might be considering using those, before you buy.
