I realized a comparison between two old Canon of 2002-2003

Here's what I got last weekend at the zoo. I opened the aperture up, but I needed enough shutter speed for the moving fish. I was able to have adequate depth of field with the focal length I chose. Yet, I still needed ISO12800.

As winter approaches with dark skies, I'll be glad that I can use these higher ISO levels. Now, you all have to know that in a fish tank like this, the water was a little murky. So, it's not the best example. But I liked it. I have another one at ISO6400 that I took of a zoo worker with my Canon M50 MKII who waved to me. That one turned out great. I'll show that one if anyone is interested.

hmmm nice shot, kinda tricky taking aquarium shots, but for our own use.........very good.

winter/dark skies is key to my upgrade madness, now that we are into fall, the good shooting days going to be farther apart.  i don't really buy many lenses but a higher ISO will fit all me hopes.

just reviewing the canon T6i tonight and thought to check the forum, spotting your post.  the T7i is Fab, but i don't see any for sale at mpb today.  the canon M series are quite fine to, but it seems that canon is creating a strange orphan with that series of cameras.  so i just may stick with DSLR's a while longer in the aps-c range.

for longer reach or 600mm, i feel it best to stick with some kind of Bridge camera used.  a lot of good enuf quality out there with the huge convenience factor.
