Looking back at the history of Canon bodies, including the 1, 5, 6, and 7 series, with just a handful of exceptions, there has almost always been a Mark II. IIf memory serves me correctly (which it frequently does not!) in the 7 series, the time between initial Mark 1 release and Mark II was roughly 5 years, so I'd be (happily) surprised to see an R7II much before 2025/2026. Certainly the shortcomings of the R7 (buffer, rolling shutter, lack of battery grip, missing top lcd, etc) scream for a Mark II.

They don't really scream for a Mark II, they scream for a $4k professional body. Because adding those features would put the R7 firmly into that price bracket, like it or not.

So OM systems and Fuji can figure out how to offer it in the $2500 range but the best Canon could be able to do is $4000?
