I have shot Canon crop sensors for years. Currently my main camera is the R7. In just a few words, I love it. Several EF lenses are still used. However, Canon has several light RF lenses that are excellent and not heavy and not really expensive. Jack B
I do use the Portrait setting and do appropriate post processing with Lightroom.
Post Processing is easily understood. Most of my photos are taken in RAW format. Working with Canon's software and Topaz software is "almost" like being back in a darkroom. From the mid-1970s to my retirement in the mid-1990s, I had access to a darkroom. Many B&W and slide rolls were processed, and numerous prints made. It is too easy today. Jack B
