Hi folks. First post. I primarily use a Sony A7RV for wildlife but I've recently started to get in to Motocross and car photography. I am going to go for the 70-200 f4 is usm lens but unsure what camera. The 7d mkii fits the bill or the 80d. That's the budget I have. Any suggestions folks? Thanks
guessing the budget is $400-500 used? 80d would probably be my personal choice with the newer processor and things like articulating screen and wifi. 7dmk 2 is 2014 two years old and does have a few things like 65 vs 45 focus points, and actually if motor sports is your thing, the 7d2 having more focus points and a faster fps at 10fps vs the 80d at 7fps may be the reason to grab the older 7d2. All this being said, the 70-200 I cant imagine using for motocross without the 2.8, i mean you'll be shooting north of 1/1000 sec anyway so the IS is not a huge deal.
Thanks Johnsey. So you wouldn't bother with the Is? Yes that's what makes the 7dmkii appealing. I will be doing all of my shoots through the day so dont really need the 2.8. 2nd hand market yes lol Andy
I mean "I" would as I like being able to shoot the lens at 1/100 of a sec handheld. I just was saying it wont probably make a difference if you shooting a high shutter to freeze fast moving subjects, but at a higher shutter you may want the 2.8, and the small depth of field would be nice for some motorsports shots. I personally saved and forked out for the 2.8 IS version II back over a decade ago, great lens but a bit of an investment.
