Hi, is anyone else finding the R7 a bit on the small side ?

AF speed is incredibly good, it's full of wonderful functions, but its small size means smaller and more fiddly controls compared to a 7D II.
Great if you want a smaller and ligher camera, but that joystick and dial combination, argh!

Canon, please could we have a version with a more pro-like body like the 7D II, or even like the 90D ?

Anyone else feel the same?

I've decided that I'm OK with the size. For many years I shot in Av mode. I had no issue with M mode but just preferred it. I adopted Fv with the R bodies. It was OK with 3 dial body.

Since these days Auto ISO is now available with M I remapped a few things today for M mode. The front dial is Tv, the quick control dial is now for EC and the lens ring is or Av. Since with this body I'm shooting around wide open all of the time so it isn't as critical. I find using the 100-500 ring awkward when in a hurry. I'm finding this setup very natural so I could live with out the big quick control.
