Have both the R5 and R7. Use them both. Sometimes I'll grab the R7 when I want a lighter setup. I could probably get as good of a bird photo from either of them. I keep the R5 for possible landscapes but use it for birds as well. The R7 is for birds and street photography. Also the R7 with the RF100-400 is a nice light setup that does a pretty good job for birds.

Now I must say I have also been tempted to add the R6II to my collection. I like the idea of having three bodies. Less lens swapping and different features on all three. Of the three the R6II probably does better in low light. So, I guess my question is does anybody have all three and do you like having the third body? Maybe just add a refurbished R6, I see Canon is offering them for a bit over $2,000. Any thoughts?

Interesting how everybody’s preferences/usage is different. I think it’s because all of these bodies are so darn capable! They’re almost interchangeable for most uses. DIGIC X is certainly what ties them all together. You really have to nitpick to rank them.

Myself, I prefer the R5 for birding/wildlife, for all of the reasons discussed previously. It’s been wonderful.

The R6 was my event/sports shooter, until I got the R6ii (the increased AF selectivity is a real help here).

The R7 has my RF 100 Macro practically glued to it. It’s really excellent in that role.

I’m eagerly awaiting the R5ii. Might have to get 2 of them!

Thanks for your response R2.  Out of curiosity, what are the one or two lenses you use mostly on the R6II?  I've been using my R5 with the RF100-500 lens.  If I get the R6II I would probably use it with my RF70-200 and also with the RF24-105.  It would probably be my more general use camera, covering many different situations.
