Great Budget Combo - R10 and EF-S 55-250 STM
13

I've had the R7 and R10 since July and really love these cameras.  The R7 is my main camera while the R10 is for my wife, but I use it as well.

I recently saw that Canon is having some nice sales on it's refurb lenses, so I decided to pick up the EF-S 55-250 STM for $99.  I had this lens before on my crop DSLRs and it performed nicely.  And for $99 refurb direct from Canon, why not?

Needless to say, this lens performs very well on the R10.  Super light combo, AF works great and fairly quick, and works very well in lower light.  I'm not expecting L lens sharpness, but it's really not too far behind the RF 100-400.  I do think the R7's 32.5 mp is a tad much for the lens, but I was also testing in low light and overcast skies.

Anyway, here are a few shots from today with the R10 and the EF-S 55-250 STM.  If you have this camera, I'd strongly recommend picking up this lens while it's on sale.  You can't go wrong for only $99.
