I am interested hearing from any photographers out there about their thoughts on this camera setup (especially if they are not compatible?):
Canon EOS 7D MK1
+
Canon EF-S 55-250Mm F/4-5.6 IS STM
I am new to photography and have gone with the Canon 7D because a photographer friend has this model and has offered to teach me how to use it. I can also borrow their expensive pro lenses if I need to in future but need a good allrounder to begin with.
I will start with a second hand camera/lens and will potentially upgrading to new DSLR/lens if I enjoy this new hobby.
Thanks for any feedback.
Honestly at this stage in the game, especially for a beginner, I wouldn't buy a DSLR (and I'm a 7D owner). There are some amazing mirrorless cameras on the market these days that take amazing photos and videos, but are smaller, lighter, less fragile and cheaper than a DSLR and Lens. Think about what use cases you are interested in (underwater? Sports? Portraits? Landscapes?). I don't have a particular item to suggest but I wouldn't advise investing into a DSLR ecosystem at this time
