100% electronic shutter with a slow read speed for the R7 seems explanatory enough without any pictures attached showing what constitutes terrible.

What I don’t get is why people post questions like this without at least testing like shooting conditions first to determine if that might be the issue. Switch to mechanical shutter on the R7 and see if it’s better. Or at least EFCS if trying to avoid shutter shock

Impo, the R7 is practically useless in Mechanical Shutter mode. I’ve heard a few people say it imparts some amount of shutter shake at practically ALL shutter speeds, and in my brief trial of MS, that seems to be true. If I need to shoot something with MS, I’ll use my R5.

Sure, if that's your experience I wouldn't argue with you. But to solve the problem you need to be comparing like with like. Regardless of what you will revert to once the test is done, you need to use similar settings on both cameras, and equivalent focal lengths (or crop and normalise), and see what difference there is.
