The Fuji X-H2s with stacked sensor might be the better overall package but Canon pretty much nailed it with the R7, especially price/performance seems to be really really good

I agree that Canon overall did a great job with the R7, it’s a camera that I enjoy using. It would have been really nice and I would have gladly paid more for a better viewfinder, faster sensor readout and bigger buffer based on my experience using the camera for the past 6+ months but the camera we got still is a great tool at an attractive price.

I agree. The other item I would like would be a quieter MS. I have tried the R7 and I love the size of the camera. I have not bought one, I might still, but I have a few things I don't like. The slow readout would prevent me from using the ES and the clicky MS sound would pretty much limit my usage to ECFS. Not really a big deal, but still limiting for the cost. While I do shoot some wildlife for fun, I am not sure I need a dedicated camera for wildlife.

I would like a second RF body. I am debating between the R7 the R8 or waiting until next year and see what the R5 II brings to the table. Or wait and see if Canon brings out a crop sensor camera with an advanced fast sensor.
