I bought my camera 1.5y back and didnt do much research and know nothing about the world of camera and lenses. Proud owner of sony rx10 iv
ОтветитьOk, it's a year later, so I don't know if you will even see this to answer my question. I have the Canon 7D Mk 2 and the 70-200mm f2.8. I have the 1.4 teleconverter, which I still find too short. I had planned to get the 100-400, but, I couldn't find the old version anymore and the new version was too expensive. So I finally relented and decided to try out the Sigma options. I tried both the 150-600 and the 60-600 and loved them. You didn't recommend them because Canon has decided not to support them. I've heard you can get a connecter, do you not recommend that or is that only to connect the EF lenses to the mirrorless bodies?
ОтветитьGreat video guys!
Greetings from Sacred Valley Peru.
Hi Jan, I have a Canon r5 and rf 100 - 500 lens. I have ordered and am still awaiting the Canon rf 600 f4. I think that I will use this lens with my rf 1.4 extender, giving 840mm at f5.6 but I have read a few articles which suggest that this combination produces soft images. In your experience do you think that is the case.
ОтветитьThanx for the excellent video.
I had expected a bit more attention for the R7, especially when your budget is limited
这么看不起尼康??显然尼康现在是最强的鸟类摄影系统了,这搞不懂你有什么资格看不起尼康的,tui
ОтветитьIt's a huge blow to Nikon that every pro photographer YT channel is telling folks to not even start with them, glad I have been a Canon shooter since high school.
ОтветитьFor budget why not try Sony RX 10 iv, especially for a beginner or all round camera.
Ответитьas a fuji shooter there haven't been a lot of options for reach so I'm new to bird photography, great channel! Ive recently upgraded to the XH2S with 40 fps and the new 150-600. Fooj has finally lifted their game on autofocus and animal eye detect
ОтветитьThanks enjoy your video,
ОтветитьI "just" stumbled upon you guys and really appreciate your insight with bird photography...I, however am in my 70's now and will probably never buy a new camera again with a fixed (and falling) income. I cringe when I see the newer mirrorless cameras and what they're capable of, but I can't go back in time and have to just do the best I can with my D500 and 200-500...all the other tips and helpful processing programs/techniques are helpful in at least doing quality work...don't leave us handicapped viewers too far behind please - and thanks again!
ОтветитьHi Jan and Glenn, if one already has the RF 100-500 and 1.4 TC, is there anything to be gained from getting the RF 800 F11? I'm thinking I would be able to crop and get the same result with the RF 100-500 +1.4TC?
ОтветитьI torn between getting another 7d mark II, friend borrowed mine and didn't make it back ugh, Thinking of getting the R5 but I'm so used to crop mode of the 7d and the R5 is only 17mp cropped, I have never used a full frame for birding scared I will miss the shot without the reach.
Ответитьis the r6 and 400 5.6 a good combo
or the r6 and 100-400 mki
Didn’t hear any mention of the Canon 90D. Works great for my bird photography. Do you guys have a crop sensor bias?
ОтветитьOnce again ❤️ey video but what about tripod? Plz
ОтветитьAnd I am lately using Fuji, which is making me very happy!!! Fuji xt4 plus 100-400 and extender. Lovely combo!
ОтветитьRe low end Nikon a used D7xxx & Tamron 150-600 gets you in well under $2,500. Dunno why you didn’t mention them. D500 is expensive & not a beginners camera. Mirrorless is not an imperative starting out.
Ответитьcry in Nikon user haha :-/ But on a serious note, I have shot with Nikon since the beginning of my photography interest and would find it difficult to jump ship having spent 2100 on the 200-500mm only a year ago (I am in Australia and it's way more expensive here for some reason). I chose to get a D500 when upgrading from my D700 as the crop sensor gives me more reach which is super handy in the wildlife arena. I borrowed a canon 7d to shoot with from a friend and could never get comfortable with it so stayed with Nikon. So my question is do I jump ship now since no z series telephoto lenses are out? If I stay with Nikon should I invest in a 500mm f/5.6PF but get left behind in the mirrorless game? The eye-tracking on the Sony/Canon looks far too good to not go that way. And again if I stay with Nikon will I have to replace all my kit with mirrorless gear anyways. Super hard decision going forward... Anyways love the content guys and insights you both have :)
ОтветитьHey Jan and Glenn, you're hosting a great show, always happy to see when there's a notification from you :) I have a question about gear, I think it is directed to Glenn: I'm using the R5 with SD cards. Similar to you I'm not really into video so don't need the extra speed. But: almost all reviews I read about SD UHS-II are bad somehow. It's corrupt data or non-readable cards, extremely slow speeds and so on. I'm using a Sonz tough m with 64gb at the moment and actually the camera is lagging when scrolling through the images on the cam. Maybe took 500-600 images with the card overall... So I just going to loose the trust in SD cards. Do you have a suggestion for a robust SD card? Used CF cards in all my DSLRs and there have never been a single problem ever... maybe image sizes are getting too big and cameras too fast nowadays? Would be great if you'd have a suggestion 🙂
And keep that great content coming you two!!
P.S.: if anybody else having a tip feel free to share ;)
I think you guys wrong about Nikon
ОтветитьJan have you got your hands on a A7IV yet? After watching more than a few of your videos( especially the one comparing Canon 100-500 to Sony 200-600), the Sony 200-600 is tempting me to move away from my Canon 90D and 100-400II. That set up does most things well except BIF is a challenge with the 90D. I would love an R5 and the 100-500 but that's outside my budget(about $6700). I have a A7IV on pre order and will be picking up the Sony 200-600. My latest dilemma is in the same price range as the A7IV would be a used A9. Thoughts? I mostly shoot wildlife and birds. BTW I crop quite a bit so I ruled out the R6. To get to 600mm with an R6 would have me using teleconverters or non native lenses.
ОтветитьHi again. Looking at upgrading my Z50 and following your guidance for the intermediate options. Partly due to price weight and availability I had narrowed down to the Sony A7R iv but with the release of the A7 iv I am curious to know your thoughts. Maybe a bit early. As a hobbyist that likes birds and then photography as opposed to a photographer that likes shooting birds I was thinking of the 100-400 with x1.4 tc instead of the 200-600. Costs more but is lighter although I am in training with a two litre plastic milk container with 2.2 kg of pebbles in it. I would appreciate your comments. Thanks.
ОтветитьCanon only has one great birding camera right now, the R5. Before that, Nikon was way ahead of Canon. Canon didn’t catch up to the d850 for 3 years. You were shooting the 5d4. In a weeks time when the z9 is announced I think you guys will have a different perspective.
ОтветитьI've been enjoying your channel and have a lens question. Have either of you had any issues with using the Canon EF600mm f/4L IS II USM on the R5 and would there be any advantage in getting the 600mm RF mount, other than saving a couple of pounds of weight? It's a pricey proposition to do the change, even though the 600mm II has some value to it to offset the cost.
ОтветитьA question for you both, I am looking into upgrading my tripod to a gitzo, is it worth getting the xl to be able to make life easier grabbing those birds in higher perches ect, although they are not the most ideal shots, great episode, even though I am I Nikon shooter 🤣🤣🤣
ОтветитьThanks so much, very informative! Years ago I followed Glenn’s advice videos and got myself the original 7D and a 300mm f4, fantastic combo. Thinking of getting the r6 and a 100-400ii , but because of the crop on the 7D I will be losing reach. Maybe Sony?
Ответитьjust wondering about sigma 100-400 for Sony. Wouldn't that be better budget choice?
I am a Fuji/Sony user and for Fuji, a used X-T2/X-T3 with the new XF 70-300 would be a nice choice.
It is about the £££. As an old hobbyist on a budget, the important thing is the price-performance ratio. The most expensive gear I’ve bought is a new D7500 and a used 300/f4. Both are going ok. I’m waiting on the 200-600 to see if it’s so good that mirrorless is the only way. Failing that if Nikon will do a successor to the D500, then that would be my ‘last camera’, perhaps with a Tamron 150-600. If not, it’s going to be tricky. What I don’t think cuts it for (small) U.K. wildlife is a 35mm camera and zoom that only reaches 600mm.
ОтветитьReally very interesting videos and both of you very nice and professional...
Two italian coffee for you 😊
Surprised that you didn't mention the Canon M series in your budget range.
ОтветитьProbably another lens for the sub 5000$ category would be the Canon 500/4 Li, can be found used between 2700 and 3500$.
ОтветитьThe best camera and lens under $2,000 is nikon d500 fOR $1000 and sigma 100 to 400 on the $600.
ОтветитьRobus RC- 5570 is a Killer tripod for $550. I have had it for 2 years, and have zero regrets. Holds my R6 and 400mm f2.8 IS with ease
ОтветитьSorry, but the Nikon D500 and the 200-500mm is one of the Best combos. $2600 New
ОтветитьPentax K3MkIII and the Pentax 150-450mm with the 1.4pentax HDTC , great combo for wildlife and BIF.
Ответитьi have a Canon 90D and a Sigma 140-600C, you mentioned that Canon may not be supporting the Sigma lens for their mirrorless cameras. Is this the case? and if so if I decide to upgrade to an R6, what could I do? I dont want to be spending huge amounts of money
ОтветитьI personally shoot Canon but one thing that I would like is a lens similar to the Nikon 500pf. For the price and IQ, Canon offers no similar option. I have used the EF 400 DO II which is a very good lens but its still big compared to the Nikon 500pf and the Nikon has that extra 100mm. I also think that you can get excellent results with a used 1DX even though it seems the DSLR is taking a back seat to mirrorless.
Ответитьholy Nikon haters hahaha
ОтветитьGreat video! I started out with the exact same equipment on your budget list and had got some pretty good results with them. Finally moved to R6 after 5 years. Since my wife and I do a lot of hiking along with bird photography, we are still happy with the lighter lenses.
ОтветитьGood luck getting a D500 for £580 in the UK!
ОтветитьI just bought a Sony a7riiia and the 200-600mm lens. Both brand new and under $5,000.
ОтветитьJust about to trade in my 100-400 mm Canon lens. For the 100-500mm R. Use on my R5.
ОтветитьVery much enjoy your video. If I have a Sony A1, which lens would you recommend; Sony 200-600mm or Sigma 150-600 DG DN ? Should I really need up to 600mm or 400-500mm is sufficient ?
ОтветитьObviously you guys don’t print your images no mention A7r4.
ОтветитьThanks for the video and discussion topic. The biggest disadvantage for me is the size and weight of the gear you have recommended. I’ve reached the stage where my back cannot support the weight for long which is why I have gone for the Olympus system. Price wise brand new you are in the $5000USD area for their professional level kit. I have the 300mmf4 (600mm full frame equivalent) with the OMD EM 1 mark 3. I don’t need a tripod and I carry this in a small sling bag. The lens is tack sharp on its own and with the 1.4 and 2x extenders. The image quality is great for most circumstances. The biggest Limitations are High ISO performance and focus tracking which are below par. I’m waiting for the new ‘wow’ camera OMD Digital Solutions (as they are now called) are supposedly bringing out to see if they improve these areas. PS the f2.8 40-150mm (80-300) is a brilliant second lens, seamless with the extenders and a great portrait lens as well.
ОтветитьEvery One of these corporate guys will make you buy new gears, the best gear is what is in your hand. Selecting Canadian and Australian Winners , you guys are now racist , there are 100s of better photographers and videographers than you across Asia and Middle East.
ОтветитьHi guys, another informative episode 😊. On the subject of tripods, I’ve found Feisol carbon fibre legs to be good and a Jobu gimbal head - should save a decent amount over the traditional top of the range models!
Cheers
Be careful with a recommendation of the Sony A7RIV because if some one mates it to the 200-600 zoom, which is highly likely, they're most likely going to have big focus tracking dramas with that particular combo. On still subjects everything's fine, but for birds in flight, something is definitely amiss. Sony know about it because it's been highly publicised, but to the best of my knowledge Sony have said and done nothing to address the issue.
