I’m a retired, but was a commercial photographer for 40 years. In the film days I shot with everything from 35 to 8x10 depending what I was shooting on a given day. I started shooting digital with the first Kodak DCS cameras, so been at digital sense the beginning… Pretty much shot with and tested everything till I retired. Fast forward, today I use the R5 and R7 with RF long zooms and long primes. I only shoot birds and some nature for my own enjoyment. Happy to help and contribute when I can…
 
Welcome Glen and thank you very much for joining up here and introducing yourself. I'm also shooting with the R5 and waiting on the R7. How are you finding the R7 pairs with the R5? Please let me know if you have any questions about the forum here.
 
Awesome! Thanks for joining up in here. I'm sure a lot of us can benefit from your experience.

Sorry for the slow reply.
I think it depends on what kind of subjects a person shoots. If I shot landscapes I feel there are better options than the R7. However in my case, shooting mostly birds, I see it as an incredible tool that I will use as much as I do the R5. I believe the autofocus is actually better in the R7. The R7 does have some shortcomings but we have to remind ourselves that it ia a $1500 body. And for the price I feel Canon gave us an another incredible tool.

There never will be a perfect camera, there will always be things that we would like, better or different.
No mater what brand or model a person is using, they all will have shortcomings.
So it's up to us to learn how our camera works, study it, tune it to our individual needs.
Know and be aware of it's weaknesses and find ways to work around them, to work with them.
If your camera isn't great at a certain task, then you have to find different way to solve the problem and still create a great image of your subject.
It's not up to the camera to create great images, that falls on us...
