Re: ? for those of you with both the R5 and the R7

I use the R7 much more often than the R5, because I'm mostly a wildlife and macro shooter and it gives me more pixels per wagtail/springtail (or per dipper/skipper) as well as a better AF interface. But it has some serious shortcomings which I won't mention because they have been done to death.

I did give some thought to swapping the R5 for an R6 Mark II, but realistically the lower resolution would be an issue a bit too often for me, so I'm waiting to see what the R5 Mark II brings to the party. If it gives me the same benefits as the R6 Mark II but with 60-65 MP then the pixel density will be enough to strongly tempt me. Assuming the readout speed is good - it needs to be in Z9 territory...
