Newbie here. The R7 was released for sale on June 23, 2022, along with the RF-S lenses 18-45 and 18-150.

I realize it's only been 7 months since the R7 debut, but has there been any official indication from Canon that they're going to release any further RF-S lenses? I've not seen anything (at all), and am not real keen on buying an APS-C camera that's going to need full frame lenses with full frame price tags and full frame weights.

If you want reasonably sized APS-C cameras and lenses that don't have full frame price tags and full frame weights, you should be looking at EOS M. The R7 is bigger, heavier and more expensive than the full-frame RP.

The R10 is the relevant comparison with the RP, not the R7.

It's ideal for the TS-E and big white lenses but really wasted on EF-S lenses, never mind RF-S.
