Hi all,
I have had my loyal and trusted 7D since about 2010. I trust it and I love it. But all goo things come to an end one way or another.
I've noticed it's now sluggish when it's in standby mode to turn back on. A couple of shutter button taps is required. Images not as sharp as they used to be. Generally it's getting tired. and getting too heavy for me.
The old girl has served me well but I think she need to retire.
I have been looking around for a new model.
Criteria:
BURGET: £800-£1100 (inc. other other bits)
FPS: 7D is 8 so this or faster.
ISO: Low as possible (Canon only seem to do 100)
ISO: High and adjustable.
Shutter: 1/8000 same as the 7D
Needs to be able to use all EF & EF-S lenses.
Video (not that I use it much): mp4
Age: Younger the better
Weight: Lightweight. My 7D + Battery Grip + Lenses getting too much to carry now at my age
Screen: Needs o be able to flip out and up and down as age starting to catch up with me and laying on the ground I can do ... getting up another matter!
Works with LP-E6 batteries as I have a few.
In the Running as far as I can see:
80D
90D
850D
750D
EOS R
Lenses I already have:
Canon 50mm f/1.8
Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM C
Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM
Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM
+ old Sigma 35-135mm from my film days.
Type Of Photography:
Mostly I do general stuff whilst walking about.
I do like Wildlife especially birds.
Sports as in football often under low light floodlights
Fast moving vehicles such as trains and cars (again sometime it becomes low light)
Old buildings both inside and out.
Landscape (I am no Ansell Adams)
Future Proofing:
Sometime in the future I may well get a Sigma 150-600 type lens so it'd have to work with the new body.
Advice please one and all.
Many thanks in advance,
