That's Easy!

Hello All

I need a bit of help to decide on this. I will be updating my still functional but quite old 450D to a new camera. It is still working but I get to buy a new one. My current setup is 100mm Macro lens and the Canon ring flash as I shoot everyday photos at my dental practice.

I am considering Canon M50 with an adaptor for my lens, Canon 77D or Canon 80D

The camera will be used almost 90% for dental photos again, but I would love to be able to take it with me on my trips

What would be your recommendation? Would the m50 + 100mm macro + Ring Flash balance well? How does it stand against 77D or 80D?

Thanks for your help and time!!!

That's easy - M6/M50/M5/M100 with a ef-M 30mm macro lens! That has lighting already on the lens. It's small, non threatening kit. Easy to use too. Just touch to focus. I prefer the m6 as I can still add a flash or other lighting or trigger if I need to.
