I recently purchased the R7 a week before going on a cruise around Europe. I took 6,000 shots with it and it never missed a beat. I found the eye tracking was absolutely spot on both for people and animals.
No problems at all using the 600EX flash either.
But (as with just about every piece of any type of kit) I am also annoyed that the viewfinder shuts off after a couple of seconds. Our last trip was to spot dolphins off Gibraltar. Very fast creatures and totally unpredictable as we know but the camera coped superbly at 30fps with the eye tracker tracking the dolphin's blow hole on the head.
Many shots taken but only when the viewfinder was reactivated.
I have tried every setting in the power saving menu and NOTHING stops the viewfinder from shutting off.
Perhaps I should have used my trusty 5DIII?

I have the R7. I waited a long time for this camera as I had a specific set of parameters.
IBIS and ability to use all my curret lenses, R, FL, FD and EF.
It does this perfectly, as I have shown in recent gallery posts.
As to the flash it works just fine with older EX flashes with NO adapter required. For some reason only the last couple of EX MII and 6xx series need an adapter but my 580EX doesn't need one.
So far no regrets.
The AF is amazing even with the 100-400mm MII and 2X MIII performing instantly and accurately on the eye if desired.
If APSC is what you want (As that is exactly what I wanted) nothing right now even comes close.
I also love the IQ/resolution which is equivalent to a 800mp+ FF camera.
It works well in low light as well, here in a dimly lit coal mine example and the slow 10-18mm lens. It was poorly lit. About 1/4 second exposure handheld. About 3200 ISO.
Go for it and have fun.

I have an R7 and an R5. I think the R7 is a fantastic camera.

The only downside is that it requires a different flash. There is an adapter that allows the use of any Canon mount flashes. The slash mount shoe doesn't have the traditional contact arrangement. Instead it has a contact point at the front of the shoe.

30 megapixels in an APS C sensor is a great achievement and I like that my RF lenses are 1.6 times more telephoto on the R7. That makes it great for wildlife and sports photography.

I am just starting to use ON1 Photo RAW 2023, and am wondering if there is material available that describes in detail the various functions available, similar to Adobe’s Classroom in a Book series. I am considering Scott Davenport’s book, which seems to cover all the details. There also appear to be many video tutorials showing usage of various functions, but I am looking for a reference to explain in detail what functions are available and why they would be used. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am using a 27" iMac, and have migrated from Lightroom. My usage is only as an enjoyable hobby - family photos and landscapes using a Sony RX10 IV.
