I have an upcoming 3 week trip overseas, and I'm debating which camera/lens combo I should take along with me. Either choice requires me to buy a lens. Here are the choices from what I currently own:
1. Canon R6II with Canon RF 16-28mm f2.8. Back up camera is my R7 with Tamron 11-20mm f2.8. Lens needed to buy = Canon RF 70-200mm f4.0L.
I like the fact that both cameras share the same battery and somewhat similar controls.
2. Sony A7c with Tamron 17-28mm f2.8 and Tamron 28-200mm f2.8/5.6; back up camera OM System OM-5 with Pana/Leica 9mm f1.7, Panasonic 12-35mm f2.8. Lens needed to buy = Olympus 40-150mm f4.0.
I like the lighter weight and lower cost of this system.
I always take two cameras on every trip. I have had cameras and lenses fail me in the past. I really don't want to buy yet another camera. I only need one lens to complete each combo. I would rather buy new, not used.
Choice here boils down to getting either an RF 70-200mm f4.0L or an Oympus 40-150mm f4.0.
