Hello everyone! Based on some feedback in another post I went ahead and purchased an R50 to replace my Rebel T6. So far I do not regret it. The R50 is light and easy to carry on hikes! I also like that I can manipulate the display screen so I do not always have to get on the ground for some shots! I am also a bit overwhelmed by all of the options, which I know is a good thing once I get use to them.
As luck would have it, we are going on a trip where I want to make ample use of my camera. I only have the one RF that came with my camera. I do have the control adapter and several EF/EF-S lenses. Where we are going will more than likely involve landscapes, sun rise/set, I hope some wildlife or at least birds, and portraits.
Does anyone have suggestions I could use to come up to speed quickly? I hate to admit it, but I will be buying R50 for Dummies in addition to a handful of YouTube videos that seem useful from their description.
Any suggestions as to what lenses should I bring? I want to keep it light but effective. I was thinking my one RF lens as my main lens, then maybe the 50 for portraits and the 75-300 for any potential wildlife.
