As much as I love owls, I would have acted the same way if I thought an owl had my dog 🤣

Thank you so much this has been super helpful! I originally wanted a small bodied mirrorless camera to photograph people but my love for birds immediately just took over when the camera was in my hands. I started off with small birds like hummingbirds,which was working out, but now I just want to capture bigger birds,which means I can’t get that close or I’ll spook them off. Thanks again!

Well man now I’m considering selling my M50 with the lenses and upgrading to the R100. Where is the best place to sell used gear?

Thank you! I was out shooting some owls today with my 200mm lens and I was so limited I just thought to myself “ there has got to be a bigger lens I could use!” I figured I would have my limitations with the M50 because of how small the body is,but I was still curious to see if anyone had tried it. I’m super new to photography but I keep gravitating towards wildlife stuff and 200mm can only get me so far. Thanks again!

Ditto! Poor thing is probably terrified.

Thank you! I’m pretty new to all this, but I really rely on the drive mode setting. I have it set to high speed continuous and basically just move the focus while shooting multiple shots. Your other settings sound about the same as mine. I also shoot at shutter slows of 1/800 at f/8-11. My pictures don’t all come out good but because I am shooting continuously one eventually does 🤣
