Re: I'm waiting for the R7 MK2

Putting more thought to this. The R7 is the first body since my 20D that when I tried the burst I said what heck is this. At first I thought it was broken. I don't have the 7D2 anymore to compare vibrations but I know I did not react the same way when I tried it for the first time.
Memory can be forgiving - but also you were used to the noise DSLR make. You now have had quite a few mirrorless and you are comparing with those. I didn't, I still have the 7D, the 7DII and now new the R7, so I could make the direct comparison. Even with the 7DII in EFCS I get a slight shutter slap that shows up when taking macro shots (which is where my focus lies predominantly now) and I am shooting a series of images in short succession because I am photographing when the wind has just died down and my subject hasn't still fully settled down (not knowing when the wind picks up again). I look forward to using the ES when the situation arises, I just need to assess if the image quality suffers due to the 12 bit A/D conversion in ES, compared to the 14 bit A/D conversion in EFCS/MS...
Not sure what others think about this.

I'm not struggling with the R7. I just would have preferred a smoother (for better words) shutter. Something like my R6II and my old R5 was.
Wishing for something better is a natural thing, getting it at the price point is another matter altogether, we all wanted to get the 1DxIII focusing system and the rugged build at the price point of the 7DII but we didn't get it. Realistic expectations go a long way to not get overzealous and in the end being disappointed about what is offered.
