Should I keep the EOS R100 as a second camera or sell it?

Hi there! A few months ago I upgraded from the R100 to the R10. Now I'm wondering if I should keep the R100 as a second camera or sell it. For example, I was thinking of using RF 50mm on the R100 and Sigma 18-50mm on the R10. Any thoughts?

Greetings,

Keep or sell really depends on you.  How you use your camera(s) and what your expectations are as a photographer.  The R100 is the most basic, entry level mirrorless body Canon makes.  It was originally designed to attract mobile phone users to a camera with interchangeable lenses.  It's sort of an interchangeable lens point and shoot.  It has very few bells or whistles.  It just takes pictures.  Considering an articulating screen is standard now, I was surprised by its design.  I wouldn't keep it, but I never would have purchased it in the first place.  However, any camera is better that no camera as a colleague @Ebiggs would say. 😉

Keep it; if you need to sell it and apply the $$$ to another camera.

I sold two things several years ago and regretted it. To replace them costs 4X what I originally paid for them.

I agree with my respected colleague, Rick.  The R100 is the lowest spec'd camera in the R lineup and I would part company with it in a flash - cameras don't  hold their price, they just drop - the value is what you DO with them, so if you don't have a need for it sell before the value drops further.  Then consider using the funds towards another body or getting a good optic - depending upon your needs, which we don't really know.

When you buy camera gear, keep all the packing, documentation and receipt - it makes a much more attractive package to on-sell and will likely recoup more money for you.
