Chelsea & Tony Northrup search for the LIGHTEST possible wildlife photography camera. They found two camera and lens combinations that came in under 4 lbs that still offered at leats 20 megapixels at an equivalent 800mm: the Canon R7 with the RF 100-400 f5.6-8 ($2050 total, 2.75 lbs/1.25 kg) and the OM Systems OM-1 with the Olympus 100-400 f5-6.3 ($3,399 total, 3.79 lbs/1.72 kg).

They compare the two cameras in the real world, photographing birds from a kayak. They consider handling, weather proofing, sharpness, frames per second, silent shooting, dynamic range, background blur, autofocus, and viewfinder quality.
