Wow.. wonderful images, thank you.

Totally agree on all your comments regarding R7 in use, though I compare it to my R6. Two most standout points for me being the amazingly fast autofocus and it's stickiness, and the battery life is awesome. Yes, the ae-lock button is slightly odd and yet my thumb seems to find it ok. I've set my D-Pad up for WB/Drive Mode/ISO/Directional so far but no shortage of options for customisation, Canon did very well I think.

I haven't done much with the D-pad yet as I still find myself moving my thumb over there expecting the wheel.  Right now I have most things the way I want, but I might try out a few options on that as well.

For the money Canon really packed this one full of features, that's for sure.  It's not a perfect camera, but it's near impossible to beat in the price range it's in!
