and only list this because you need to be negative about something. I have used the 7DII for 8 years (got one on the day of the initial release) and never have used it without additional weather gear because not all of my lenses are weather sealed and those that are were bought mostly second hand and thus I have no knowledge how well their gaskets have been maintained. Thus there is a big gaping hole in the sealing...Have you seen the videos of Wild Alaska? He was using the R5 alongside the R7 on one trip in atrocious weather and the weather sealed R5 conked out first IIRC.

Compared to the mirror slap of the 7DII the shutter shock in the R7 is minute

Now wait a minute ! So your telling me, the 7D II has such crazy mirror slap, that it might knock the camera straight out of your hands, and scare wildlife on the other side of the forest ?!?! .... because it would really "have to" to be any worse than the R7 !

I can use them side by side, the mirror slap of the 7DII is more pronounced and louder than the R7 full mechanical shutter and you can easily use the EFCS to reduce that without incurring the wrath of the rolling shutter, the bokeh effect of the EFCS doesn't bother me at all.
