EXCELLENT! Wildlife photographer here in Montana. I have a full frame (Canon R5) and a cropped sensor (Canon R7). I like both. The R7 with a RF 200-800 lens is effectively > 1200mm when zoomed in. The full frame is great in predawn conditions with the RF 70-200mm F/2.8 lens.
Hey so im a beginner Fotographer ( I just shot Pics with a Nikon D40(2006) and I want to do wildlife Photographie can you Recommend the r7 with the rf 100-400mm Lens?
I’ve not used that setup specifically Rick so can’t really comment on autofocus etc although there are good reviews out for both. But in terms of a broad response it is a good focal length and sensor combination for wildlife. I hope that helps
@@RicksWildLife-p8o no worries it’s nice to know it helps. Ok so there’s 2 parts to the tripod. For the tripod legs I use the manfrotto 055xprob. Although if I bought it again I would probably just buy the manfrotto 055. Have a look on eBay you can pick up a decent second hand one they’ve been around for years. When it comes to tripods it’s worth getting something sturdy especially for wildlife. The cheap Amazon ones aren’t worth your time unless it’s just for inside your house as the wind will blow them over. Then the second part is the tripod head. So the top part. Depending on how you use your tripod will determine what sort of head you have. I would probably say if you’re not doing any movement then most heads will do. If you want to do some movement then have a look at some video heads. Mine is the manfrotto 804rc2 which is quite stiff so not really great for movement but for if I want to set it and leave it then it’s very versatile
@WildlifewithRich ty very much , There is a nice hill not that far away from home. Sometimes I take my bike and go there ( with r7 and Rf 100-400 soon) There are lots of hawks and I realised I need a tripod. Do you know any light but good Tripod? I appreciate it very much Thank You🫠
Thanks a lot for this video. At 2:00, the claim that small sensors collect less light is surprising. On my cameras. the sensor collects the light delivered by the lens to the sensor and, for native lenses, lenses with similar aperture diameters tend to deliver similar amount of light to the sensor, regarding of sensor size. What am I misunderstanding?
Thanks for the question. So if we imagine the exact same lens is on both the crop sensor camera and the full frame camera. Then the amount of light at the end of the lens is the same. This light is not all going to hit the sensor though. As if you imagine the two different sensors being like a target the larger sensor is a bigger target so more light will hit it. A good diagram I wish I had included would be to draw one circle to represent the amount of light given by the identical lenses. And the. Draw a large rectangle and a small rectangle to show the two sensors. Hope that helps and if you have any other queries let me know
@@WildlifewithRich I get i now. Thanks a lot for the clarification. That's an interesting view. I guess that if I were using the same APS-C lens on both an APS-C and an FF cameras, I could also conclude that large sensors have more vignetting. Wouldn't it be reasonable to assume adequate paring between image circle and sensor size, instead of identical image circle for all sensor sizes?
@@comeraczy2483 yes that’s true to say in my example that the image circle covers both sensors. Whereas if we viewed it as an apsc sized image circle then there would be vignetting on the full frame lens. I generally wouldn’t recommend apsc lenses on full frame bodies because of this.
@@hari_fyi I assume you mean "more" photons, in which case you would be absolutely right, and this does apply to lenses: lenses with larger aperture diameters collect more light. However, it usually doesn't apply to sensors because the lens projects the light collected by the front element into an image circle with a diameter roughly equal to the diagonal of the sensor it was designed for. Therefore, the intensity of light in the image circle for a smaller sensor is higher. Think of a magnifier where the smaller sensor is closer to the focal point (hotter) and the large sensor farther from the focal point (colder): they both receive the amount of light collected by the glass of the the magnifier.
Thanks for sharing your photography knowledge. A big LIKE for your video. Greetings from Singapore.
Cheers. Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for the comment, really cool to hear that the video is being watched in so many different countries. Sounds like you have a great setup too!

@@WildlifewithRich thank you 😁
@@WildlifewithRich I dont want to bother you but I have another Question😅
What Tripod do you use and do you know any Cheap Tripod ?

Bigger surface area means bigger photons aka better light

i want to know how you became such a massive stud
@@WildlifeWithCookie 😂😅
Ans is have both, use both.
You need a catchphrase, i’ll think of one for you, “right now”!
Absolutely! Yours is iconic!
So size really doesn’t matter? 😂
