I enjoyed using Canon 200D so much, because of it's compact size and weight. To be honest, if that 200D had ibis and 4k video with C-Log, It would be my dream camera.

Now I am selling all my ef lenses and dslrs, i want to fully move to the R line up, and What really bothers me is that...

The R 10 is veeeery lightweight! sooooo pleasy for my hands because I don't even feel like I am carying something.

But the R 7 is a beast apsc camera. It has both ibis and log, and better battery life with bigger battery and of course, weight.

So I should choose between ibis and log, or the compact size ans weight. The problem is that R10 looks a little bit cheaper visually, and that makes me want to go with R7. But I am afraid that because of the weight I won't use it as much as I would use the R10, as it is much heavier.

I want it for an everyday camera that will always be with me wherever I go. I know everything about the cameras, just wanted to hear your opinions, what do you think, if you have one of them, what you like and what you don't, and what you will chose in my case?

Hello,

I’m brand new to this community and brand new to photography as well. I’m looking to take some pictures (not really looking for video) of my family (just had a baby) and friends and the occasional travel and events - mostly close range, portraits and potentially a few low light evening events. If I ever get good at it, would love to get some birds and landscape. I would love to print these to a reasonable size for framing. As you guessed, I’m mostly just going to be taking pics in auto till I ramp up. I’m torn between the different options and I have the option to push my budget all the way to the R6ii. Looking through the various posts except for my low light usage, I should be good with the r50 and some good glass.

Kindly advise on which camera would be a good fit (ease of use, quality of auto focus, my short term vs. long term goals) for my application and recommendation for a good lens.

P.S. I know my phone camera is probably good enough but have been wanting to get into photography for a while. Sorry about the lengthy post and if it’s off topic.
