Cameras

When choosing a camera, size does matter. Sensor size that is. At higher price points this is what makes cameras more expensive than others. Using the camera options below, the only real difference specs wise between the Canon R6 (Full Frame) and R7 (APS-C) is the sensor.

Lenses

Not all lenses work with every brand or model of camera. For example, a Nikon lens will not work well with a Canon or Sony camera, unless you have an adapter (and even then, not all features will work). Before buying a camera lens, check with the lens manufacturer to ensure that your chosen lens is compatible with your camera body.
