Hi all! First post as I just found this forum. Excited to participate with you all! Seems like a very helpful group. With that said, I could use some help and guidance.
I am currently taking some photography classes and have a Fuji x100f and a Canon 77D. These are shared between my wife and I. I have three non-L lenses for the Canon (Sigma DC 17-50mm, Canon 50mm, Canon EFS 55-250mm) and am trying to determine if I want to stick with Canon or not before making any further purchases. I am brand new and learning as is my wife, but want to ensure we get into a system that we both will grow in to. Budget is not much concern nor would making a system change as we could comfortably sell off what we have.
Our goals are to have a wide array of shooting capability. We would start with one camera and a few lenses and add a second body, so we want to be able to share lenses. My primary interest lies around landscape, wildlife (larger animals, bear, wolves, etc) and astrophotography. I also enjoy urban/architecture but use the Fuji for that. My wife has a passion around wildlife (birds specifically) and macro. My difficulty is that there is so much information out there, it is simply overwhelming.
I greatly, greatly prefer to have the EVF and size of the mirrorless over the Canon I have now. I love shooting with the Fuji...not so much the Canon. My wife and I do extensive hiking and back country travel, so having a smaller, durable and mirrorless option is something we would like to have. I also know that most systems now are moving to mirrorless, with Canon recently confirming production focuses on their RF lenses versus the EF series.
As we look to invest into a specific system, can you recommend a potential pathway for us to go? I've been heavily toying the idea of the Sony A7R3 or 4, but unsure if it will fit all of our goals, specifically with the bird and wildlife shooting. Also have looked at the D850, Z7 and the Canon EOS R. I'm a bit leery of going with first generation like the EOS R or Z7. We have a trip coming up in a few months to Alaska, so as we are going through some classes and learning, we want to get started with the system we will be using.
Thank you for your time and recommendations. Should you have any questions for me, please let me know! Thank you again!!
