artlila
I want to go to Mirrorless. I have lost all these year the technology. I have an old EOS60D with: - EFS 18-135MM( MACRO 0.45/1.5FT) - EF 70-200MM (1:4 L15 USM) - FLASH: SPEEDLITE 580EXI was first to buy R5... but I was waiting the prices to go down... I saw canons newsletter about Canon EOS R50 kit +18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM + 55-210mm F/5-7.1 IS STM (Black). I was reading about the camera. It was interesting to me and low budget. Manly i am taking dog pictures in motion(also in low light) and still studio pictures. A friend of mine is saying to buy R6 I do think I can afford R6II.What is best thing to also to able to use my old equipment? My feeling says R6 but I do not think I can buy a good lence but also a good lens important. I am confused but I want to but the best I can. thank you

No sense making a technology upgrade to a device that is not the latest.I have the EF 70-200 2.8 II L. It works perfectly and If that is what you have, keep it.

With the lens adapter, you can use your EF/EF-S lenses on an RF camera.One big difference between the R50 and R6 is that the R50 is APS-C, so has the same sensor size as your 60D. Your existing lenses will work as they do on a R50 (or on the other APS-C R cameras, the R10 or R7).The R6, like the R5, is full frame. You can attach the EF-S lens but will give you a lower resolution picture. The 70-200 should work well but will give you uncropped pic, so less reach.But the good news is you can get the camera then get additional lenses later. Low light in motion pics would benefit from better lenses than the ones the R50 kit comes with.The R50 is a pretty reasonably priced entry point. You can buy it standalone, without the lenses. R10 is also not much more expensive.artlila wrote:I want to go to Mirrorless. I have lost all these year the technology.

Mentioning that you were considering the R5, now the R50 or R6, wildly different cameras in price and capabilities, suggests that you might need to reflect first on what you want the camera for, and the best fit, before jumping making a decision. Asking in this forum is a very good way to gather opinions and thoughts, but you should have a well formed opinion on what you expect to get from this purchase, in order for this advice to be most helpful.
