I did replace my 5D IV with an R5. I can tell you that if you shoot anything that moves, the tracking AF and eye detect is a total game changer. The higher frame rate and lack of buffering issues is another big benefit. It's like cheating. Additionally, the eye detect is a big help with portraits too. The R7 looks like huge bang for the buck. Go for it!

Thanks Paul. All of your ‘clearly’ statements are what’s behind my reasoning. Also I want to keep a crop sensor camera as it extends the range of my 100-400 II to an equivalent 640 mm without having to use a 1.4 x converter.
I would be keeping my 5D4 probably indefinitely as I like it a lot. I would sell my Canon 7D2 and little Canon M5 to partially fund an R7.


Don't underestimate the image quality of the 100-400 II mated with a 1.4 x converter on a FF body.

The EOS R5 changed how we think about mirrorless, how we think about photography, how we think about life.

$1500 for the R7 is the most enticing feature! Is a R5 really worth more than twice the cost of a R7?


Very good question.

Forget the R7 and get the R5, you will not regret it. You can crop an unbelievable amount and still end up with great pictures. The R5 opened up new possibilities for the BIF shots I take. I use my 100-400 on that body. Just fantastic. You can get it as a factory refurbish with full warranty for a decent price. JMTC

The R7 has a much higher resolution than a cropped R5.

It is faster shooting raw than a Z9.
The AF and tracking is about on par with the R3.
Finally is a fraction of the price of either.
If I were beyond dreaming about a new camera this would it as your interests fit into the strengths of the R7.
The reviews so far have been very good.
Jared's review is most excellent and he is pretty honest in his evaluation.
It will really step up your keepers in action, sports and wildlife with the amazing DPAF II AF.
For the price you sacrifice with rolling shutter in electronic shutter of very fast moving objects. But the 15fps mechanical takes care of that and puts you as fast as a D6 which costs many times more.
Go for it!!!!!

There is limited information on the new R7 out on the web since it was just announced. I'm looking to for opinions on the viability of replacing my 7D Mk II with the R7. Based on the marketing hype it appears to be of rugged construction with a rich feature set. Especially the focusing system and frame rate. The camera will be used mainly for action/sports/wildlife. I will use my 5D4 for other stuff. At this time I do not need any alternative brand recommendations. Thanks in advance for your comments.

Both Digital Photography Review and Jared Polin ("Fro") have published initial impressions.

I ordered the R7, want to use it to replace the R 6, M5 and M50. Not sure when it arrives.

I too am looking for an upgrade to my 7DII; 80D has some advances but the AF and all the modes etc. aren't there; 90D comes closer but the 32.5MP sensor is very sensitive to motion blur from subject or camera motion and I not a human tripod. When mounted rigid the 90D sensor produces great images.

The R7 specs show it is a true upgrade to the 7DII but I worry about the 32.5MP sensor-one rumor said it is redesigned/not the same sensor in the 90D and the camera has IBIS which will work with the lens's IS to hopefully solve the motion blur. I will start saving to get one with EF>RF adapter when they start shipping and then save for the RF100-500L but I want to see some real world tests/reviews by actual wildlife, bird, sports, action photographers. The one early review I saw with images the quality of the on line images was awful.
If I had been in charge I think I would have given it a new design 24MP sensor or even a new 20MP-after all the 7DII does fine with 20MP.
I will be keeping the 7DII (as a backup), 80D, maybe the 90D and will keep my 5DIV and all the EF lenses because family members have Canon aps-c dslr bodies.

Pangolin Photo Safari just published a Youtube review of the R7 - I think they like it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcZQYsRWNlI
