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?

I am glad I waited and checked out the R forum. Way too many R7 cameras lock up.

I would give a camera 2 lockups and it would be back to Canon !

If everyone did that Canon would maybe be more careful about selling cameras that lock up.

My M6II has never locked up.

Either there are a lot of faulty R7 cameras out there or Canon is selling buggy firmware.

And of course people are wondering what they did wrong.

Yup, my R7 locked up (tight) on me once. I expect Canon to release a firmware fix sometime soon.

Maybe they'll toss in a new feature for us, as supplication?

R2

Firmware programs have become so large and complex they have become difficult to troubleshoot ?

I will be shooting the M6II for awhile.

Hurricane pictures coming.
