Northern Cardinal, but uncanny. 😏​

I took this pic last week, it's kind of crossing into the Uncanny Valley with its head turned around so far, accentuating the mismatched color intensities. Looks like a kid swapped doll heads. 😅​

@TryCatchHCF out of curiosity which R-body do you use? And are you happy with the RF system? I'm thinking of getting the entry level RP and some of the wide angle primes.

@ThomM Canon EOS-R7.

Absolutely love it and would buy again. For a wildlife / bird camera in particular, amazing functionality and performance for the price.

Same for the RF lenses. The selection is catching up, but the RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1 is all I use 95% of the time. A fantastic wildlife lens. Excellent AF response, not perfect but also not USD$19,900. 😏​

@TryCatchHCF cool. Wildlife won't be my focus so I don't need that long glass, for which my wallet is thankful. Primarily want full-frame wide and the 16 and 24 primes seem to be great values.

@ThomM Nice! I think you'd be quite pleased with the quality and function of those, enjoy!

Bonus points if you share a few pics after the fact. ​
