The R5 will be better at higher ISOs and has less rolling shutter.

I think this will rarely be an issue for me. Maybe just with Hummingbirds In-flight ?

There is also a vertical grip available, which may or may not be important to you.

SUPER Important ! KILLS me that their is nothing to make my R7 easier to hold onto

If you're shooting the same photo from the same spot at the same f-stop then the R5 will have shallower depth of field than the R7 because you'll be using a longer lens. The R7 does have the advantage of a bit more reach and you can shoot at the full 15fps with the mechanical or EFC shutter even when using older EF lenses.

Well I'd call 60% "quite a bit" more reach ! Even 800mm was not always enough reach for me, when shooting tiny Warbler sized birds (or smaller) from 30 or 40 feet. But 1280 just about is ! I mean really, if I'm not close enough to a bird to get quite a few pixels on him with 1280mm, I'm just not close enough !

Hey about that DOF field difference.... I find it has SO much more to do with my actual circumstances, as in separation between the bird, and the BG..... plus, their is this little feature in Photoshop called neural depth blur that can "sometimes" do wonders
