I'm going back to Canon realm after years of frustration waiting for Nikon to catch up on things, so here I am back on the boat.
I know the R5 is best for wildlife, but given that I mainly photograph wildlife, I prefer a crop sensor.
I understand as I believe is to be correct the R7 is a replacement for the 7DMark II?
I'm reaching out here to determine if the R7 is in fact adequate enough for photographing fast moving objects in terms of tracking and autofocus.
Thanks
Hi Kenny,
Welcome to the EOS R Talk Forum - and to the Canon R System (probably! ).
Great commentary and advice from the forum as usual.
We have the R5 and R7 (previously the 5DIV and 7DII - both now traded), but only shoot wildlife on a 'casual/ as we come across things' basis - mainly zoos and on walks/ hikes.
As others have said, the R7 isn't perfect (nor are we!), but the AF is from another universe.
The R5 and R7 both do very well with wildlife, but the extra reach of the R7 is magical - and it has certain AF functionality not available to the older R5 (though we await a f/w update!).
Just to add to the thread, some examples below (screen capture limitations apply) -
