Yes, I am aware of those two cameras (see OP). Unfortunately, 90D and M6 images viewed in isolation do not address my question. However, that is not helpful. What is needed is a side-by-side ...

I am intrigued by the R7 as a second body, notably for the added "reach" (more pixels being placed on a subject holding focal length and distance combination) provided by its 32MP sensor. In ...

@unhappymeal,

Were you responding to me? I wonder because you must have missed my statement,

"the point is not to just get an 800mm equivalent reach, rather it is to have a second body with a...

Agree.

General comments:

I'm looking forward to seeing RAW shots. The green heron shot (#5) at ISO 1600 already shows signs of heavy noise reduction.

the bird headshot (# 7) at 6400 looks great (a...

It's hot here in Florida, but if you want to get the best images out of a digital body, you can't pick a better location (not knocking Seattle; love the city, but it's frequent overcast makes the...

Of course there were going to be responses countering the OP's statement since it was based on a false premise. They claim that the camera is "ugly, clunky, and incremental". Ugly and clunky are...

"Also when you are ok with being at 800mm F11 equiv with your zoom APS-C combo. Why not simply buy the 800mm F11 prime and stay with your R5?"

I'm not getting into an equivalence debate, but to me...

Panther fan. Hopefully you're a fan of the animal and not the hockey team.

It's why I've included the caveat that I need to wait for reviews. I'm skeptical as well--having been very...

One more thought, under your proposal, let's say I net $3000 for my R5 and $2000 for my 100-500 for a return of $5000.

That leaves me $4000 short of the $9000 needed to acquire an 800mm and...

Let me see:
R7 with currently owned 100-500 gives me 800mm reach for a cost of $1500.

Your option cost $9000 (yes, the 800mm will have better IQ, but not $9000 better); I replace the 100-500 with...

I haven't paid attention to the R10, but I'm increasingly excited about the R7. No, it's not the 7DII replacement that everyone was hoping for, but it's not missing a whole lot. To the point, it...

"Selling the D500 for this is the wrong play. It’s still the best stills oriented APS-C camera available today"

Definitely your opinion. I need to wait for R7 reviews before I express an...

That's what happened. I received and--apparently--responded to the confirmation notices for February and March but missed the one for April. That's a nasty way to conduct business.  I conduct a lot ...

Thanks, that is helpful. Fortunately, I have orders in elsewhere, and like you, have not received any word about delivery. Of course, both the 400 and 800 are shipping.   I know several photogs ...

Title says it all.  I ordered on the order date.  I checked my "Open Orders" this morning and it wasn't there.  I then found an email dated May 12 that stated: "Due to a lack of availability, we ...

Happy for you!:-) I hope you find it worth the wait. I'm in the queue for the z 400mm 2.8 ordered about 12hrs after orders opened in February, so I feel your pain.

My TC experience is as follows: Canon 2x TC with 70-200 L II 2.8: Acceptably sharp images, but IQ and AF definitely took a hit Sony 1.4x TC with 200-600G:  Very inconsistent.  Occasional sharp ...

As a person of color and a photographer, yes, I do take it personally. Indeed, there is likely no offense intended, but it does show a lack of caring when my features and those I care about are...

After seeing the previous samples, I realized that I had one that might be useful as well. This peacock was in the shadows and on private property, so I couldn't get any closer. So this was a ...
