I have too, but the jury is still out on this one in that I am not sure yet whether the combo with the R5 gives me a higher hit rate.
It's funny, I don't favor either one and I always feel I will get similar results with each. It looks like perhaps you may be in agreement with this.
I have both. I get similar results for sure. The R7 weighs less and has newer autofocus EV behavior like the R3. I use the R7 with the RF100-500 but more often with the RF100-400 & the 1.4X TC. I like low weight for cases when there is lots of light the R7 and RF100-400 X1.4 is lighter, easier to swing in heavy action and does a great job. The R7 1.6 crop sensor reach can be precious some times,
Does this mean FF is dead and do not like the R5. No. Not at all. I am keeping them both for what they are slightly better at. Low light and bokeh is for the R5. I would prefer the R5 with big aperture RF glass (50f1.2, 135f1.9, 15-35f2.8, 24-70 f2.8 and 70-200f2.8) for indoor sport in low lit gyms.
I value having the right tool for right job.
I agree with you, less weight is always a plus. I may buy the 1.4 extender as you mentioned and give it a try. I've never used extenders and it may be about time I try. Thanks for your comments 🙂

Fujifilm's X-H2 is a high-resolution stills and video camera, that sits alongside the high-speed X-H2S at the pinnacle of the company's range of X-mount APS-C mirrorless cameras. We dug into what it does and what it means.
Holy Stone produces dozens of low-cost drone models aimed at consumers. We look at the HS710 and HS175D to see if they stack up to other sub-250g offerings. Are these secretly great or more like toys?
It's small, light, cheap and extremely wide but is it any good?
After weeks with a production Fujifilm X-T5, Chris and Jordan have some final thoughts.
Released only weeks apart, the Sony 50mm F1.4 GM and Sigma F1.4 DG DN Art are clear competitors. Which is the better buy?
Above $2500 cameras tend to become increasingly specialized, making it difficult to select a 'best' option. We case our eye over the options costing more than $2500 but less than $4000, to find the best all-rounder.

What's the best camera for shooting sports and action? Fast continuous shooting, reliable autofocus and great battery life are just three of the most important factors. In this buying guide we've rounded-up several great cameras for shooting sports and action, and recommended the best.
