Thanks!

Reasonable advice all around!

Out of curiosity, do you personally think Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary is worth five times the price of the stock lens? I mean: does the quality improve proportionally?

Would the pictures generally also be about 5x better than the kit RF-S 18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM?

I’m talking about that great Sigma lens that is Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary. I feel like I’d love to have it but since it and the camera don’t have the Image Stabilization, it might be an obstacle, what do you think?

I’m not sure how much I’d be shooting in the dark, but probably quite a bit. Is it a big deal overall in your view?

Awesome advice, thank you so much.

One more thing: I’ve noticed you’ve recommended lenses without Image Stabilization, isn’t that very important to get for R50? since it lacks IBIS

Thanks. What’s the main problem with the 18-150 exactly?

And is there any way to know if a used lens is damaged inside somehow by having been dropped? Or is it never a concern?

Got it. So after a heavy consideration I’ve decided to spend my money on R50 (the cheapest reliable option considering that I can’t trust any used cameras in where I live), and the rest on one most versatile and high quality lens, for about the same price as the camera or maybe a bit cheaper. Can you recommend one or two top options in this case?

Thanks for taking the time! Appreciated.

After a rather deep research for a beginner, I’m deciding between R10 and Fujifilm x-m5. Any comments on that?

What if I’m not really that interested in editing photos in general? Should I get some other kinds of cameras like from Fuji, a little bit more casual, or something else you might recommend? Something where it’s less important to post-edit.

And 200mb/s is it for read or write? Is write 90 mb/s good enough?

Not that interested in wildlife to be honest as there just aren’t many animals left in Vietnam wandering in the wilds (almost everything got poached to hell, especially birds, it’s like walking in a deadzone sometimes). So I’m most interested in still life and macrophotography for fungi, plus maybe a few landscape shots now and then, and of course I’d love to take portrait photos of wife and ourselves traveling.

Do you have any comments on the Canon EOS R50? And what one specific lens would you recommend for it, in my case?
