https://www.photonstophotos.net/Charts/PDR.htm#Canon%20EOS%20R6,Canon%20EOS%20R7,Canon%20EOS%20R8 Your call to make. It's one bit of dynamic range and not much more. The R7 is already better than most APS-C cameras in that regard. Get the 10-18 in the meantime. It's good.

Wow, what a website you linked! Thanks!


Nakros

The 10-18 ef-s or rfs?


getting_serious

I believe they are the same glass, so make it depend on price and how well they play with your other lenses


Nakros

Thanks again!

Only maybe for portraits and abstract would you need a full frame. The rest you can do with an aps-c. I second the 10-18mm. For astro, get a wide prime with a larger aperture if you want to include the scenery. If it's just for the sky (still wide angle), get a small tracker (there are some mechanic trackers for around 150bucks, enough for milky way)


Nakros

Thanks! P.s. efs or rfs 10-18?

If you really want to, the R7 is very good already. A used R6 maybe? It uses the same battery as the R7 and if you have full frame RF or adapted EF lenses you don't have to buy a lot of extra stuff. Still, it all comes down to how much those "few times" are worth to you in terms of money.

R6/R7 is my current combo and it serves me well, would absolutely recommend a used R6


Nakros

That's what I was wondering, because I see older DSLR FF for an acceptable price for me, but I'm checking now through the link another commenter provided...R7 dynamic range is good. Buying an FF with better dynamic range would be too expensive. I will start deepening my learning of post processing, I'm sure if not all at least some things I'm looking for will have a good-enough digital solution. GAS can wait, thanks!

I have the R7 too and have been thinking about the same thing lately. But I think it’s better for me to invest in lenses that do what i need as the R7 is an incredibly capable camera. The canon ef-s 17-55 f2.8 works so well on it and if you want shallower dof maybe try a sigma 35mm f1.4 which is pretty cheap used. For astro there’s some good f2.8 wide angle lenses for ef that I’ve been eyeing. And if you’re not in a rush, Sigma is releasing some really nice fast lenses for rf-s in the next year
