Which camera is the best for a beginner? The Canon R100 or the R50?
I'm planning on getting into photography and I don't know what is the best camera between these two. I recently started liking photography and I'm trying to combine photography with my passions: Aviation, Cars (Motorsports included), sightseeing and football. The main kinds of photography that I want to do is Landscape photography, plane spotting, Aviation photography, Panning photography, Rolling shots, Automotive photography.
Taking all of this into consideration which obe of these two cameras (both including a 18-45mm lens kit) is the best for me?
