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 !

How do you get 60% more reach? It's equiv to about a 1.37* teleconverter in pixels per duck.

Yes, I've read this all before. I know its not a direct comparison, but even 1.37 is "better". Maybe not quite 1.6 X's better In any case, although I can't explain it all, in such technical terms, I can say that for small birds, from anything like 30 ft or more, the R7 is already outproducing my R5.... with the same lenses.

I really need to be careful, especially on DPreview, and just start saying..... "Brings the subject 60% closer in my view finder" 😀 lol
