Just picked up a new R7 after a series of Minolta/Sony failures. Looking forward to learning new system and hopefully contributing to this forum.

I mainly shoot random artsy shots from road trips but my #1 passion is Wild Horses in Nevada and Arizona.

You're going to have a lot of fun. Love your wild horse shoots.

The R7 at first seems to be daunting. I downloaded a manual only to find it’s about 600 pages. Searching YouTube for basic tutorials. Seems to me loads. Are there recommendations? I’m on medical leave post knee replacement so I have time to play with this thing and get familiar before my next Roadtrip. I do two a year.

Upcoming route not determined yet but starting in Washington and ending first leg in New Mexico. My trips average between 3800-4300 miles. I avoid freeways when possible. Sometimes they can’t be avoided. I’m fascinated that I can Bluetooth images from the R7 to my phone.

Who dreams these features up?

Ok. One more. “All Creatures Great and Small”

Love these shots Nick! Thanks for joining up here and sharing them with us.

Thank you. I hope my next batch will be from my R7. I would like them critiqued. Only way I’m going to learn the Canon system is by fellow shooters.

Welcome! I am following for the wild horse shots! I love all things equestrian and your images are wonderful.

Welcome to the forum, Series6.

Your remark about the manual for the R7 made me smile, as I did a double take when I located the manual for the R6 Mark II that I just bought.
