Why not waste even more money and buy an R5 mk II when it comes out!😀 The 1.6 crop will be more effective with 60mp. Maybe get an RF800 f11 to improve your reach with the R5. I haven't found the minimum focus distance too much of a problem with small birds and the R5 when you can crop quite closely.

Kinda my dilemma. I don't really need or really want two bodies and the R5 was expensive. If I decide to go all crop it really wastes my fantastic RF 24-105 f4. If I still had my R I'd get the R7. I can crop quite well with the R5.

Yeah, exactly. I think I've come to the realization that I would have been better off with the R + R7 than the R5 but it's not like the R5 is a slouch by any respect. It's phenomenal but just a little sub-optimal in some cases and oh so expensive.
