Hands-on with the Canon EOS R7 | Canon Rumors

Whilst the R7 is an excellent camera with great features (and it and the R10 should sell well), I’m personally disappointed in it as it’s not very well suited to serious bird photography in tough environments like estuaries and mudflats and rain and for using with the Great White telephotos like the 400mm f/2.8 or 600 f/4 with it’s tiny size and no vertical grip option, low budget 90D grade weather sealing and unusual rear controls.
To replace my old 7Dii I’m thinking I’m better off saving up a bit more money and buying an R6 instead with it’s more pro build/weather sealing and nice familiar controls and phenomenal low light performance especially as I’m fortunate to own a EF400mm f/2.8 (non IS) so reach isn’t much of an issue for me but low light performance is as I like to shoot at dawn or soon after and I really like shooting backlit birds where better dynamic range/low light performance will make a difference for me.

These 2 cameras will be a great option and are reasonably priced for people starting out in wildlife and sports shooting but not for me and perhaps many other 7Dii owners
