Finally broke down and got a new camera. Canon R5 Mark2 full frame and a few RF Lenses. I wont be taking it out packing and will still use the older DSLR for it has the rock rash don't want to damage the new one ..not yet. Went out on time in the rig but nothing to capture worth mentioning.
Burrowing Owl. @800mm
Grand Funk Railroad
Moon at 800mm with the new 200-800 lens. LOL 20ft below sea level.
Moon at 2030mm (8 inch Telescope). Both with really bad seeing conditions.

Nice upgrade! That is a great camera body. I bet it makes the old dslr feel like using a rotary phone on a landline in 2025.
I’ve taken my Sony full frame and 600mm on some tougher hikes. Always makes me a little nervous.

Wow, great photos!
I admire the quality. I'm too cheap to spring for a pro rig like that. Well done.

My old camera is a crop sensor. I have a quick-release system on my shoulder strap, camera mounts there. I'll have the 18-135 on the camera mounted but pack the 100-400. Yes, it's hard going back to the old dslr, especially now that you can see the histogram live.

Great choice and great pics! Used to drag my dslr around in my backpack but gave up cuz carrying an extra 5+ lbs was often the break even point between fun/not fun.

Yeah. I mount the dslr on my shoulder strap and sometimes pack a long lens at least when I was younger. Now just the dslr.
