So there isn't much I'd like to change on my R7, except for maybe a small extension on the bottom right for my little finger, and someplace to attach a hand strap. I don't even need a full battery grip. Yes, I kill batteries pretty fast, but I carry a bunch of them, and they are very easy to change. Also, a bigger buffer would help. When it comes to MP's, I always like more of them for cropability, but I question as to whether more MP's could be crammed on to the smaller crop sensor, and still maintain at least the same IQ ? I understand their are physics to deal with.

And while I'm asking, is their a better crop sensor mirrorless camera for birding than the R7 ? Even from other manufacturers ? Open to opinions.

Look at how old the camera is. I am willing to bet that the R7II will come in 3-4 years, not earlier.

And the combination of 15 fps with EFCS and mechanical shutter with a high end autofocus, lenses that are unique (800 f/11) in the marketplace - there is no better overall package. Even if there were a better sensor, the combination of the R system and the R7 is currently unbeatable in the APS-C range.

Thank you. Believe me, I own the RF 800 F11, and loved it so much, I just bought the RF 600 F11 too I had this in the back of my mind when I was posting this. They work very well on my R5, but at least as well on my R7 Obviously with more reach, which is often very important for my shooting.
