Yes there are lots of great tools to help us have more opportunities to make great photos.  Better hardware, better post processing tools, great information about finding subjects, editing, ...

You’ve gotten some great replies here and I can’t think of anything to add really.  I’m loving my R7 and though it does have its limitations, it really is a fantastic camera and on the whole is a ...

That certainly agrees with my experience.  It reminds me of a visit to an art gallery I visited in Moab a few years ago.  There were large prints of various landscape scenes for sale and they were ...

Nice work!

It’ll really depend a lot on what sorts of photos you want to make but I mostly am looking for birds and wildlife and not as much landscapes/insects/macros…  I usually just bring a 500mm f/4, 1.4x ...

I don’t know about others but when I go out for wildlife photography I feel like I’ve worked pretty darn hard for it even with the modern fancy cameras. Here are some of my recent photos https://ww ...

Well I’m jealous of you 😉

The only time my camera goes into a bag or carrying case is when I’m getting onto an airplane.  All other times it’s free. I don’t know what exactly it is about the R7 but for whatever reason it ...

Again, if it’s not an issue for you, congratulations.  I own and use the R7 on a regular basis and experience the mode dial unintentionally getting rotated frequently and it sounds like I’m not ...

Hey, if it’s not a problem problem for you be joyful.  For sure those of us who are experiencing it aren’t making it up.  Canon didn’t offer the service of installing it on the 7d or include it on ...

My guess is that you probably aren’t using a long telephoto lens on a daily basis

If you can swing it I’d go for the 100-500L, otherwise the RF 100-400 would be my choice.

Nicely done, I also find the last one to be my favorite.

I really like the R7 and think it’s a great camera overall but I definitely find the rolling shutter to be annoying for more than just hummingbirds and fast small BIF.  I get a lot of slanted ...

If you’re doing bird photography then in my opinion it definitely is a solid upgrade.  In quite a few ways, I’m finding it to be an upgrade to my 7d mk2 and I really haven’t touched my M50 since ...

I’ve been to that park before and also had very good luck there. I don’t know if you have ever been to the Senora Desert Museum, but I’ve found it’s also a productive place for bird photography. ...

Right and the EF 500mm f/4.5L definitely doesn’t have that gasket.  However, I do suspect that there are other measures in the lens’s construction to keep water/dust… out.  For sure you will want ...

I guess I’m wondering what qualifies as weather sealed. good advice in my opinion

I’ve used the blue loctite to solve this problem with success and was still able to remove the screws later.  I definitely don’t recommend using the red loctite as it’s very difficult to remove ...

The one I have doesn’t have the rubber gasket on the mount.  Not sure about weather sealing on other parts of the lens.  I wasn’t super careful with mine in the rain/dust… and my AF motor did go ...
