Hi Folks,

I am thinking about upgrading from a DSLR to a R7 for macro work. Ive been reading lots of threads about the R7 - mostly used for sports or birding. The issues seem to be more with fast moving subjects and the ES and EFCS (rolling shutter), noisy mechanical shutter and vibration. One application I plan on will be with LED lighting indoors (flash not available with EFCS). However, one of the cons noted was banding with artificial lights. So, I curious if anyone has had experience with LED lights and the R7 or other R bodies and EFCS. Thanks!

Flash is of course available (and I have used it) with EFCS, but not with ES. Your info from CPS is simply wrong. I suspect your interest is automatic focus bracketing, as that uses ES and is incompatible with flash in the Canon system.  I have used a rechargeable LED light panel with my R5, and RP, no issues with banding or flickering.  You won’t have any trouble with an R7.
