Chris;....Old Dog here. I had the R5 about a year before the R7, which I bought as soon as it came out. For the last several months I've been shooting little Yard-Birds and Moons (conditions permitting). and I've just totally fallen for the R7 for, especially, these uses. I love the extra reach of the R7 and the AF system is fantastic. I also like the ergonomics and use that vertical wheel for + - Exposure Comp which is especially useful for moon shooting.

Of course the R5 is a superior camera-- no need to go into well known details on this. I have RF100-400, RF600mm, and finally broke down and bought the RF 100-500L too-- fantastic lens. I now use the R5 for interior shooting, Grand Kids w/ 24-240, and landscapes when I can get out. For little birds, i do sometimes use the R5 with the 600mm f11 when light is good.

If I could only have one camera body-- well, it would be an extremely difficult decision to make. Yeah, I like the R7 that much. But as I can afford both, I'll be happy to keep both.

Thank you. Yea, I will probably keep my R5, at least until I buy a 3rd camera, and if I did, it would be something that isn't even out yet 🙂

Oh, I just got the 600 F11 today. But I'm already sure I'm going to love it too. I'm already sold on the 800 F11, And BTW, I bet with an extension tube, I'll be able to shoot with it from as short as 9 ft 🙂 And a 960 mm equivalent from 9ft can fill the frame with tiny birds, butterflies, etc 👍
