If you can't tell, I'm really torturing myself with the thought of selling my R5. Trying to imagine any of the things that I could do, or do much better with my R5, than my R7 ?

Same thinking here - but when one gets close to filling the R7 frame such that cropping off a wing, tail or legs etc - the R5 comes into its own. Those larger pixels excel at higher ISO too - and with closer subjects a long lenses chance for even better background blur. 45 MP high quality pixels gives great cropping power too - the R7s are nice but I don’t think one gets a full 1.37X extender effect. There seems less (but still some) rolling shutter on R5.

So given the used price I would get now for my R5 not being great - the camera has some cosmetic marks from use - plus some unique benefits - mine is a keeper

The R5 was my first FF camera - had a 7DII and now a M6 II - and played with the idea to switch to the R7 when it came out, but I learned to appreciate the R5. I can compare both sensors, and there definitely is a difference at low light.

I will keep my M system as light and performant day to day gear.

No need for RF-S at the moment.
