I mostly use the R5 (paired with the RF 100-500 or EF 400 2.8 iii), only reaching for the R7 if I need the extra reach or as a lightweight walk around setup coupled with the RF 100-400.

The things I am disappointed with on the R7 are rolling shutter, very noisy mechanical shutter, lack of third control wheel, inferior viewfinder, lack of battery grip and small buffer. Yes, I know those things all save cost but I would rather have spent more for a crop sensor camera better matched to the R5.

For me, I'd add tracking to your list (for my list). My R5 just plain tracks better than does my r7, even though the r7 has better AF features. I don' t use ES at all anymore on the r7 and instead go for 15 fps on EFCS or MS. I probably will devote my r7 exclusively to macro since I don't enjoy having to have sound while shooting animals and being slightly limited by buffer size.

I’m finding the opposite. My R7 tracks better and the AF acquisition is faster. I’m using both ES @ 15 fps and EFCS@ 15 fps and mixing it up. I’m shooting ES more these days as I don’t find rolling shutter as bad as I expected.

I'm wondering if these opposing experiences could have to do with settings ? I used the online YouTube tutorial from Whistling Wings, by Ron B. Excellent video !

For static objects I also use ES at 3 fps.
