I have the R5 and bought the R7 a few weeks ago. No regrets so far. Yes, you can really hear the shutter in mechanical mode on the R7 but so what. I still have and use my trusty 1DX2 and it sounds like an AK47 on steroids but no one made that an issue of that as far as I know. Tons of pros have used them with fantastic results. Or? Maybe I'm just not trendy enough for not be one of those complete silent type of guys. As the matter of fact, I'm using audio feedback on the lowest level in silent mode on my R7, and I wish Canon could include optional audio feedback in a firmware update on the R5 as well.

For me it really depends. I agree that many animals don’t care at all, but some do. And I prefer this new and more „inkognito“ silent shooting. But yes, would be nice if Canon could give the option of an artificial sound with the R5

R7 can handle way higher ISO values than 1600 if you don't use Lightroom for converting from RAW. In my testing I found DXO Pure Raw2 to be most pleasing for my eyes. Topaz isn't too bad either.

I have the R7. I totally agree with all the points you make. With good lighting and I want extra reach, R7 is great. I kinda get used to the button lay out. R5 AF is more sticky than R7. If R1 was out, I would have gotten it instead of R7. While waiting for the R1, I am fine with the R7 as a second body.

My biggest beef with the R7 is the EVF. I cannot clearly see small birds. The R7’s EVF is half the number of dots as the R5, or the Sony a7R4, which is my main camera. I was hoping the R7’s crop factor plus the 100-500mm lens would get me a lot closer than my Sony’s 100-400. Well, it does and the photos I’ve taken are gorgeous. But, I’ve missed a lot of shots because I couldn’t find the bird in the R7’s EVF. For me, the R7 with the R5’s EVF would be perfect.
@FabianFoppNaturephotography

Only thing about the Shutter shock, why not use EFC? I have no issues with that on my R10 or R7. Use electronic with more stable subjects and EFC with more moving, 15fpm is enough most of the time.

Yes, it helps. However, I felt that with a fast framerate you still have a bit of shutter shock (since there is not much time between closing the shutter mechanically of the first exposure and the start of the second exposure)

I decided to get R7 to compliment my R6, and I never regret it. IQ of the R7 is amazing with 32 megapixel my only complaint is the ISO but with software noise reduction so good now it doesn’t really matter anymore. My EF600mm II with R7 is amazing 960 plus if I add my 1.4x it goes beyond. I feel more complete with r6 (20 megapixel) and R7 with 32 megapixel. I have friends with R5 but the file is too big their main concern 😅

Hmm. As someone who used the R5 for 2 years, and got the R7 at release, I can say this with confidence. I agree about the button layout and everything, and the points about the shutter(s). Totally on board with that. Where I differ is that I believe the effective 800mm I get out of my 500mm lens on the R7 is overall better in every way than having a 1.4x extender at 700mm with the R5. The AF is more responsive to me also. I always, ALWAYS had trouble with the R5 and lock-on. The R7 does just a tad better. I ended up having this on my lens much more often than the R5, and ended up selling it in the end. I haven't had trouble with the ISO either. The ISO performance on this body, (given that it's a crop body), is outstanding. I feel very comfortable shooting up to about 6400. Topaz is great software too......

I decided against getting an R7 to complement my R5 as well. I found it both too big and too small. Too big to use it as a camera you can easily take with you and too small to use heavy lenses comfortably. I’m starting to get excited for the rumoured R100, that will be so small I won’t be tempted to use heavy lenses on it :) I also really like CFe, moving photos to my computer is so darn fast!

Yup I can't disagree with you Fabian you're evidently lukewarm about the R7 - and so am I! What I would say is that it's very lens specific, some of your photos on this video are stellar, they're taken with the R7 but hooked up to a 600mm f4! A lot of r7 users have the 100-500 and, for me, this is where the issues start. At the end of a day its an f7.1 and that's a lot of light lost over other lenses, what was the old 100-400, f6.3 at maximum focal length? Here in Northern England light can be at a premium at 55°N and the f7.1 is an issue. Just like you didn't want to take the 7d MK2 over 1600iso I don't want to take the R7 over 3200iso. As a camera it's, for me, 8/10, the lens 7/10. I look back at photos I took just a year ago from my old d500/500mm pf combination and, truth be told, there was no difference. Just my 5p worth, keep up the great videos 🙂👍🇬🇧
