The prefect model Railroad camera?

[AlkemScaleModels]

I recently bought a Canon R7 with the kit lens. It is an ideal camera for model railroad photography.  I did a detailed post on my blog about my review of it.

Thanks for the great writeup, Bernie. Sounds like a winner!
I wish I had waited a couple of years instead of getting my Olympus...

Hi Bernie,
Based on your recommendation, I bought the R7 kit.
I look forward to using it this summer.

My perfect camera will have to remain my iPhone 12 on a tripod until I win the lottery. I am sure the Canon is an excellent choice and am a tad jealous, but then I think of the 6 new DCC/sound locomotives I can buy instead. But best of luck to you in your photo pursuits.

I have an old Canon S3 Power Shot that always served me well, but obviously, at only 6 mp and pushing 15 years old, it will need replacement should I get back into building anything worth shooting.

I'll be looking into the R7, as I like the "feel" of the Canon, and I'm sure the upgrades will take care of all the old work-arounds I came up with to wring good pictures like this out of the old S3.



Thanks for the write up.  Having a better camera might inspire some better work in the train room...
