Any other places you know of that I can ask at?

Thanks!

Thanks!

Reasonable advice all around!

Out of curiosity, do you personally think Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary is worth five times the price of the stock lens? I mean: does the quality improve proportionally?

Would the pictures generally also be about 5x better than the kit RF-S 18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM?

Also, what do you think about EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS? I was told it’s one of the best lenses for ASP-C cameras in general. Would it be great with an adapter?

I’m talking about that great Sigma lens that is Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary. I feel like I’d love to have it but since it and the camera don’t have the Image Stabilization, it might be an obstacle, what do you think?

I’m not sure how much I’d be shooting in the dark, but probably quite a bit. Is it a big deal overall in your view?

Awesome advice, thank you so much.

One more thing: I’ve noticed you’ve recommended lenses without Image Stabilization, isn’t that very important to get for R50? since it lacks IBIS

Thanks. What’s the main problem with the 18-150 exactly?

And is there any way to know if a used lens is damaged inside somehow by having been dropped? Or is it never a concern?

Got it. So after a heavy consideration I’ve decided to spend my money on R50 (the cheapest reliable option considering that I can’t trust any used cameras in where I live), and the rest on one most versatile and high quality lens, for about the same price as the camera or maybe a bit cheaper. Can you recommend one or two top options in this case?

Thanks for taking the time! Appreciated.

After a rather deep research for a beginner, I’m deciding between R10 and Fujifilm x-m5. Any comments on that?

What if I’m not really that interested in editing photos in general? Should I get some other kinds of cameras like from Fuji, a little bit more casual, or something else you might recommend? Something where it’s less important to post-edit.

Thanks. Fuji sounds interesting: what would you recommend from Fuji that would rival the R50 without losing any of the cool features? Or maybe you could suggest a place where I can read up on that with the most up-to-date information?

And 200mb/s is it for read or write? Is write 90 mb/s good enough?

That was an amazing read, thank you. I’ve saved all your recommendations into my Keep. 🙂

Guess I’ll be going with the R50 as soon as I’m ready (I’m still finishing up my research by reading more Greta comments like yours and looking at websites like cameradecision.com). My concern in Vietnam is Asia’s obsession with making fake things of everything and I’m afraid that the camera I’d buy might actually NOT be the R50 as it’d say in the package. Are there any ways to absolutely guarantee the insides of a camera belong to R50? Just to make sure.

Thank you for the advice. There are a few options in that price range, including Nikon and Fujifilm. Would you say the R50 still stands out?

Not that interested in wildlife to be honest as there just aren’t many animals left in Vietnam wandering in the wilds (almost everything got poached to hell, especially birds, it’s like walking in a deadzone sometimes). So I’m most interested in still life and macrophotography for fungi, plus maybe a few landscape shots now and then, and of course I’d love to take portrait photos of wife and ourselves traveling.

Do you have any comments on the Canon EOS R50? And what one specific lens would you recommend for it, in my case?

For starters, I’d need something versatile. I’m especially interested in the macro photography of fungi.

Thoughts on Canon EOS R50? And the best beginner lens for it?

So what’s the way out, you propose?

There’s snowfall within the wall?

At least it’s completely harmless to humans
