Some of you may know I have been looking to add a third body to my gear. I currently have an R5 and an R7. What it is coming down to is that I like to keep the RF100-500 on my R7 for quick bird shots when the opportunity strikes. My R5 I use more for landscapes and more as a general camera. The thing is there are times I want to use my R7 with the RF70-200 and even the RF 18-150. It does a great job with both of those lenses. Now, call me lazy, but I hate to always have to switch out the RF100-500 from the R7 especially if a bird shot presents itself. By the time I switch back lenses the bird is gone.
I really want the convenience of having three bodies setup as I will most likely need them with minimal lens switching. I tried the R10 for this however it just didn't have the power of the R7. I really don't see that the R8 or R6ii make sense, since I shoot a lot of birds. So, logically it seems to make sense to add another R7 to my kit. I am just having a pause about adding a second body of the same type, although in my mind it seems to make the most sense. The cost isn't an issue, fortunately.
So any thoughts appreciated. I guess I'm looking for a little push.... Thanks
I would go for the second R7 given your application. Switching to new models means learning and intermixing rapidly the new models which in my case means more chance for screwups which may be you are immune to.
