Re: Canon R7 or R8 for Bird Photography

If you are going to shoot birds, you never can have enough reach.  I would go with the R7.  I have been using the R7 for birds with the RF 600 initially and eventually got the awesome RF 100-500 with what I consider excellent results.  I think the 15 fps electronic first curtain shutter in the R7 vs the 6 fps in the R8 is a big plus.  Autofocus is the same in both cameras.  Very high ISO files in the R7 are not a problem if you have DXO Pureraw.  Both are great cameras but for birds or wildlife go with the R7.
