Yes , the 1dx II is still taking great pictures. It is not unusual for me to shoot it alongside the R5 and print 1DX II images as opposed to R5 images. I sure miss that animal eye detection and electronic shutter speed when switching to the 1dx II, however.

The r7 announcement is expected at the end of the month. With the supply chain issues I would imagine I would need to glance at the specs and order one before there is much real world use info available. Usually the first in use information comes from people who work for Canon or from people who work for vendors. The initial vendor images are often mediocre shots taken under bad conditions by people who sell cameras-not wild life photo enthusiasts.

Thank you for responding.

i'd think the main answer will be in the official specs, i think by this point we can expect canon r cameras to stand up to their title.

The R7 has some nice capabilities with good subject tracking and appears to be a good value and an above entry level camera. The ergonomics make it a difficult camera to use if “zoom” means switching cameras to access a different focal length.

It seems to have an "upgraded" M6ii/90D sensor which was pretty far behind the R3 sensor, particularly in low light. When the original R came out, it used the "upgraded" 5D4 sensor, and in my opinion, it was actually a little noisier than the 5D4 based on my astro use of both. We'll have to see what happens once some folks on this forum who know what they are doing put it through it's paces. Until then, it's all speculation.
