Taking my chance to shoot out this question. Rejoining the forum after almost a decade of being away from photography websites.

Now on the hunt for cropped body, coming from an 80D. I know the R7 has all the bells and whistles of the new Canon tech and hardware. Does not mean it's worth that much money compared to the really cute and capable M6 Mark 2 which I tried in the store over the weekend and found impressive for its size. Mostly I do take photos on foot, while doing a bit of hiking and occasionally from hillside locations, with a small tripod in a small backpack.

Or maybe I should invest in new tech like the R7 so I don't have to change it for the next 3-5 years?

You must know the answer for yourself. Right now R7 can't be a substitution for M6 mk2, especially in terms of compactness or portability, but it meets the need only for a second body for those who have other RF bodies and lenses. I am pretty sure that M6 mk2 with EFM lenses can serve well quite a long time as long as they meet your need.
