newbie in phoenix

[Copterdoc]

Hello Joseph. I'm in the Phoenix area too. I also went through the R5 vs R6 argument with myself. I finally settled on the R6. When it came down to it, I really couldn't justify the expense of the R5 right now. I'm still more of a novice/intermediate and the R5 was just too much camera for me. Figure I'll use the money I saved on the R6 for lenses in the future.

I too am from the Phoenix area sort of (San Tan Valley). I also purchased the R6 because it was the only camera in stock with the kit lens. I love the camera and what it brings to photography as a tool. I on occasion shoot video and photos air-to-air for work and I eventually traded my R6 to my brother and got the R5. I wanted more pixels to crop if necessary. I then spent far too much time on Youtube researching the Canon RF 100-500mm lens. Let me preface this purchase by saying that being unmarried, I have no one to tell me "no" so I now own that spectacular lens. Needless to say, my 5D MkIII and my EF glass will go on the market so I can get the RF 15-35mm as well. I'm certain it will be another interesting journey.
