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.

Not sure if Canon will proceed with this but it they do I won't care if the next body will have ES. Mechanical and EFCS are 14 bit. Things do change and stacked sensors will become less expensive but to keep costs down. Mechanical shutter and 15 fps is plenty for me. Don't know how long it will take to get global shutter tech up to speed.
