"I upgraded her to the R7 (from the 50D) with the 100-500L prior to our May trip to Yellowstone."
"I would recommend an old F-1, which is definitely the best camera I've ever owned."
"Great choice for those with multiple lenses, offering all four PASM modes."
"I went from a T7 to a 70D my self and can say I've captured birds in flight much earlier."
"+ Canon EOS RP, Sony a7 III, Panasonic S5..."
"I own one and have been quite pleased with it."
"A late model Canon EOS model and a modern lens work like a charm!"
"The G1X mkiii is an excellent little camera."
"Go with the R. imo, way worth it over the RP."
"If you can afford it, get the R and not look back."

"Nikon F100 is the semi-pro camera from the late 90-is. It has all of the features you will ever need."
"The Z8 is also equipped with an animal eye AF feature, making it great for wildlife photography."
"The Z6 III has an animal eye AF suitable for wildlife."
"The Nikon 7200 is the best option for better photography with an adjustable screen."
"At your price point I would also consider a full frame camera like the D750 or D4."
"I love the D7xxx series. Especially since they can utilize older screw drive lenses."
"These typically have more features and longer lifespans."
"I was very happy with everything. Focus, better ISO and just all around better camera."
"The Nikon F3 with a Carl Zeiss 50mm f2 lens is a reliable setup for quality images."
"It’s the lightest of the bunch and the one to have the better quality and good speed."

"The a6600 is a great camera for portraits and wide-angle shots."
"Just get the a6600. It’s more than good enough for what you want to do while not pushing your budget like the a6700."
"Highly recommended for its performance and versatility."
"Sony FX30"
"The Sony A6400 is a superior choice for photography."
"Both cameras are recommended."
"A7C II has better AF."
"I couldn't be happier with the upgrade from the D3400 to a Sony A7C."
"The A7IV is a better choice than the A7III."
"Excellent upgrade for better colors."

Panasonic

"The EVA1 is impressive with its 10bit 422 4k and external 5.7k raw capability."
"The C200 offers excellent 8bit 420 4k and 4k raw lite capabilities."
"The GH4 makes up for the 80D's better autofocus by going full 4K."
"Honestly the EVA1 looks great on a data sheet but I've heard mixed opinions about it."
"The Panasonic S bodies would probably feel too big and chunky."
