Re: Trying to decide between R5 and R7 for a travel camera

for me the issue is availability and suitability of lenses.

Ideally I want a 24-105mm  (or even longer)  FF equivalent

I also want a weather sealed lens

And I prefer constant aperture especially for video

So far this sounds like an R5 or R6 with the RF24-105mm f/4

However,  I also don't want to be carrying a hefty/chunky lens if I can take advantage of a 1.6x crop factor body and use something like a 15-70mm f/4 to get that 24-105mm angle of view.

Hmmm,  seems like Canon has nothing to offer me and my R7 will continue to be just a birding camera with my long EF lenses.

I guess my Olympus E-M1 III and 12-100mm f/4 will continue to be my ideal travel kit.
