Question - new lens or more resolution?
I am a hobbyist taking personal family photos and kids soccer photos. No desire to get paid. Just want to capture family moments.
Shooting with R6ii. For soccer, I use RF70-200 F4 and RF100-400 for more reach.
Aside from the added reach on RF100-400, I find the pictures on my RF70-200 to be much sharper.
So I’m considering a RF100-500 to get the added reach and sharper image.
Question - with the higher resolution of a R5ii, what’s the real difference between:
Using R6ii and RF100-500 (primarily in 100-400 range)
And using R5ii and RF70-200, but cropping in to match the 100-400 range)
I don’t need or necessarily want a new camera. But if the result is comparable, I may just get the higher resolution R5ii instead of a new lens.
Thanks
Edit - thanks everyone for the helpful insight. Seems like the way to go is RF100-500. You all are awesome for being helpful.
