New to RF and need advice.

A 500mm f/7.1 on an R7 with a 1.4x extender will be the equivalent of 1120mm at f/16 on full frame for noise and DoF. The R7 will autofocus.

Hi. After 54 years of taking photographs as a hobby and pursuing my wildlife interests I finally thought it might be nice to try out a mirrorless camera. I shoot Canon of course. I own a 1DX mkIII, a 5D mk IV and a 7D mk II. All fantastic cameras that I will never pass on. The awaited DSLR replacement for the 7D never materialised as Canon has gone down the mirrorless route so I followed Canon Rumour until I discovered that an APS-C mirrorless was to become a reality. I got in the queue and pre-ordered a new R7 with an adapter as I have a number of L series lenses that I also will never part with. It arrived and I set it up to emulate the 7DmkII and gave it a go.......... disaster! This was November last year and I still don't seem to get the hang of it. There are a lot of things I really don't like about it in terms of construct, feel, control positions, the lack of the top display....it's a long list. I would like as much input as possible from users who have made a successful foray into the mirrorless domain, preferably with the R7 although any useful information regarding this new form of camera would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and kind regards
Barry

Hi Barry. I've come to Canon mirrorless after decades using Nikon DSLRs. It's quite a change. I found this third party e-book to be very helpful:
