If you don't mind using EFCS and are into birds, the R7 would be a much better fit than the R8. The difference between 6fps and 15fps is massive, especially if you have used 15fps before.

Personally, I'm more oriented towards fully electronic shutter, for natural light macro. So for me, the R8 is a better fit. But I would appreciate a lot more pixels-per-dragonfly!

+1 I’ve been considering trading in my R7 for an R8 (for macros) too!

For birding, it’s still R5 all the way (for me).
