Re: Advice for an Hobbyist jumping to Full Frame

Hi

I have the budget to buy the EOS R8 and the RF 24-105 f/4 L IS USM.

This would be a great choice. But in another post you said you buy a camera once every ten years, and that makes me think it would be worth stretching to the R6 Mark II if you possibly can. It really is a lot more camera, for the reasons that others have already explained. The extra cost isn't that much spread over ten years!

Yes indeed, but also as an Hobbyist, is it not better to invest in glass than body?

The price difference between the R8 / R6Mkii is quite the one for the 24-105 f/4
