R7 and R10; Quick to be Dumped?

As long as we are wildly speculating, I'll guess the original owners were sad at the paltry crop-sensor-friendly lens selection and found that f6.3 was worse indoors than their phone.

Probably not. It’s interesting that KEH doesn’t have any R7 or R10s on offer. So for some reason MPB has a bunch of like new specimens. I think they may be review copies.

It means MPB is all in on the Canon R stuff !

That is good news for people interested in buying or trading in for R gear.

MPB is my favorite camera store.

You could give them a try.

I think it means that people in general buy things and try them and move on if they are not what they wanted. Ebay has 22 used R7 cameras when I looked just now, some with lenses and some as bodies only.

I've bought and sold gear at mpb.com, they are in my opinion the best used gear site. They price gear fairly and assign the condition correctly.  Only once did I purchase a used lens and saw it had a scratch on the outside not mentioned and when I brought it to their attention they exchanged it for a better graded lens at the same price.

Personally I own the R7 and am relatively happy with it but I would trade mine in at mpb if Canon came out with an R7 MkII that had a battery grip and a few other improvements.

Perhaps MPB (USA) have been tasked with selling all the press demo models - there must have been loads of them.

It means bargain shoppers are in luck!

No real bargains there. Only 30$ less than new. 1499 new at BH or Adorama. MPB used is 1469

latest UK on MPB - one body - £1339. Just £10 less than new - and bet they will sell it!

It could mean that there were 26 stupid impulse buyers.

Exactly why I almost never buy used cameras. On the other hand, I just bought a "renewed" RF 600 F11 for $509... A savings of $190. That was worth it to me. And I know how well these F11 lenses work, so if it's not perfect, Bam. Free return, and I'll try again 👍

I would rather buy from BH with their not tax card and it would be cheaper with a full warranty

not sure what RENEWED is but I have bought several items from canons refurbished store when they were on sale and save a good deal..in Dec they had 600mm f11 for $399

I don't know exactly either But I really don't care. I just know it's not new, but I expect it to perform as such, or I'll send it straight back. $399 ! WoW ! That's a steal !

Wow - none on the UK site right now - R10's typically selling used in mint condition at up to 85% of new price and R7's 95% of new price quickly.

If they are "selling" them for 95% of new, that means they would give me about 30% of new.... on a good day, when they were feeling generous

And often one finds still stock issues with some retailers for new bodies although no more than a couple of weeks late now.

Both excellent cameras within doing what they say on the tin - coupled with good noise reduction and fast cards in CRAW or jpeg - it's just rolling shutter I can see which limits them really in the APSC world. No obvious replacement yet inside Canon anyway - although the OM1 is tempting.
