Going to pull the trigger and get a new body. Torn between the R7 and R8 since they're in my price range, going from an R50. Call me a retard one way or the other but I'm looknig for input on what makes more sense.
>inb4 get R6 / R6 MkII
Nah. Maybe. Would be saving for longer which is fine but I'd rather spend <$2000 AUD than $3000 AUD and put the next lot of savings towards a better zoom lens. I have three crop lenses I would be willing to sell off for maybe $300-500 if I went the R8 but would then spend that on replacing at least one of them.
R7 Gets all your "pro" features. IBIS and Big Battery(tm) are the two things I'm most interested in from it. Weather sealing and full mech shutter are also considerations.
R8 is Full-Frame, 150g lighter, and has better controls (imo). Shit battery is a moderate concern but I'm aware of it. No mech shutter, no IBIS. Hmm.
I do macro, astrophotography, and travel pics generally. A bit of other shit but not serious about birding or sports etc. I'm thinking the pixel pitch of the R7 disquallifies it from astro, but smarter people than I can tell me.
