"The most anticipated camera coming from Canon for 2026 is the EOS R7 Mark II" - Canon Rumors. But it is vaporware for now.

I'm very happy with my R7. It has given me more good photos than any other camera. It has also given me more BAD photos than any other camera. It is a very conflicted body.

IMO there is little point in speculating about what the R7 II will be like. I just hope it focuses better and doesn't exhibit serious rolling shutter effects.

As long as the shutter thump does not interfere with my heartbeat I'll be interested. This time I am going to got to my dealer and try it out fist. I sold my R7 in the spring and have the R6III now. The first time ever I have been on a prolonged trip with only one body. It is very weird adjustment. I miss having a tely on the crop body and my urban/landsape lens on the FF. However I shoot wildlife 80% of the time so the FF bodies didn't really get enough use for the expense. A dilemma. I guess getting some crop lenses might be the answer but I kinda like a FF for that.

This trip is an experiment with the 32mp FF sensor. My 100-500 and 1.4 really plays and has played well on a FF. A larger view area is easier for BIF. While it does crop as well as the R7 it does pretty good.

I really like some of the AF menu changes on the R6III that also came with the R5II and R1 that were released much earlier. I was looking forward to those changes.

Like Archibald said my R7 gave me some really nice photos but some bad ones as well. The R6III AF is insane IMO so my guess is that will cone with the R7II. Not that AF was bad but every little advantage helps.

I'm definitely interested in the R7 II. I have the R7 and after dealing with the settings is shooting the way I like it...finally. What I don't like is that it seems to go into what I call a "focus coma" in that it simply stops focusing even with the 1.7.1 firmware. I have to turn it off, wait for the sensor to clean, and turn it back on. Once that's done, it's fine. This only occurs once or so during a days picture taking but it's annoying as you never know when it's going to rear its head. I hope the R7 II addresses this.

Odd - I've never noticed that with mine, after about 60,000 shots.

Definitely odd...Glad yours doesn't have this.
