Canon R6 I Thinking of Purchasing the R6?

[Brian1965]

Thinking of getting an R6 instead of an R5 or R3 to save money or spend the extra money on lenses. Thinking of starting with the 100-500 and 70-200 lenses. Main interest is wildlife photography. I'll be moving to Albuquerque, NM in a few years. My current camera, which I'm not fond of, is an Olympus EM 10 Mark ii with a 40-150 lens...which I don't use.

I'd advise against the a7Riv for wildlife as it is not optimum for that role. You need to get either the A9 (equiv. to R5) or A1 (equiv. to R3).

OK, thanks.

Do I wish I had the R5? Yes. However, if had the choice between glass with reach or the R6, I am not sure what I would do? Like I said in another thread, the 20MP sensor is amazing and I do not just mean sharp files. The files seem to lack the digital look but obviously that is highly subjective. I guess in summary, you cannot go wrong with either. I am just a sucker for good glass, I just want more.

Good point.
