Anyone start out planning to buy the R7 and end up with the R10?

For me, no sensor cover, no purchase. R10=no sensor cover.

Does the shutter not close if you power the R10 off before removing the lens?
No. The sensor is exposed, same as RP and the majority of mirrorless cameras from other manufacturers.

Excellent point. I honestly love that about my former EOS R and current R6. I hope Canon continues to provide that very feature.

The R10 has everything I need, but I’ll probably get the R10 for all of the features that I want. But still, R10 plus 100-400 for the price of the R7 is appealing.
I did not like the placement of the joystick on the R10, It’s pretty useless when I have my left eye to the viewfinder. I’ll have to try the R7 to see if it’s any better. That would be one more justification for me to spend the extra $500.

For the RP covering sensor is just a matter of firmware. There is nothing in the RP that physically prevents it from covering the sensor. Basically canon doesn't want it to have this feature.
Actually, for RP there is a trick that allows to cover the sensor when switching off the camera,
1 - Start a sensor clean then switch off the camera. The camera does not shut off immediately, it will continue the sensor clean cycle until the shutter covers the sensor, then switches off.
2- Safely switch lenses
3 Turn on. Camera finishes the sensor clean cycle.
Wondering if it works for R10 too.

Just seems like Canon jettisoned every feature that could add a couple of bucks to the price of the camera. No thanks. I've been through my share of "sensor cleaning" kits, at about $40 a whack and a lot of hassle. Ain't doing that no more.
Canon can keep the R10.

Planning on a R7 but getting the R10. In that case : has one made the right choice in the first place then ?
I made a clear choice for the R7 based on specs and preferences : size (bigger), ergonomics, IBIS, higher viewfinder magnification, LP-E6 and weather sealing. Though delivery time for the R7 were long there was no reason to reconsider the R10 and just waited for the R7 to become available.

And what about battery life?

I actually have both cameras, the R7 and R10. The R7 is my main camera and the R10 replaced the 80D my wife was using, as it was just too big for her.
I have no problem grabbing either camera and know I will get great shots. Yes, the R7 is the better camera, with IBIS and a larger buffer. At the same time, the 32.5mp can be a bit much in some cases whereas the 24mp of the R10 is perfect.
Either way, both cameras are excellent.

Smart man, I did the same.`I actually have both cameras, the R7 and R10. The R7 is my main camera and the R10 replaced the 80D my wife was using, as it was just too big for her.

Yes. I really wanted to keep the size of the kit down, and when I looked at the R7 I started comparing it to alternatives like the Panasonic S5 full frame - about the same size, and cost.
I ended up getting the R7, 18-150, RF35, and RF 100-400. There are several things I like better on the R7, but none are enough to overcome the size disadvantage for me. If I start to enjoy bird photography with the 100-400 I can upgrade the body.

I found bird photography with a 100-400 to be disappointing. First of all, the reach is not really sufficient. Second, the aperture is too great. While you can photograph birds, you won't be getting the kind of photos you probably want and have seen.
This is brilliant, thanks! So good in fact that I’m going to start a new thread, attributing the idea to you, hope that’s ok.
