I can’t see any way in which the R7 isn’t a better camera than the 7D2 is. I still have my 7D and 7D2, each of which I’ve taken thousands of shots with. I haven’t picked up either of them since getting my R5 18 months ago. I love the R5, but there are times when I want a little more reach or the extra stop of light I would gain by shooting without the 1.4x extender on Mt EF 100-400 mk2 lens. I pre-ordered the R7 early on the day it was announced. As far as I am concerned, I can’t see any ergonomic problems with switching between the R5 and the R7. I’ve shot with so many cameras that small changes in ergonomics don’t bother me.

Apart from battery life, add on grip, on board flash, ergonomics, weather sealing, but I know where you’re coming from, maybe we will have to wait 7 years for the R7Mll

Whilst the initial specs and ergonomics of the R7 came as a disappointment for me, I was looking for an ASPC R body to pair with my R3, I am sure that it will be a great body and sell well, I will take a view when it’s released and more in depth reviews are available, if it pairs well with the RF 800 f11 and gives a greater focus area, then that’s a big one for me

One area not covered in the thread is rolling shutter v R3 at fast electronic shutter frame rates, however 15fps on mechanical looks good, but again it depends on what you shoot
