I'm "That Guy" who shoots weddings with the R6 & R7. In fact, I have always had an APS-C 2nd body (all the way back to the 5D) to compliment a full frame body. On the video side, the R7 is sooo much better than my R6 (still overheats with an Atomos Ninja). In fact, I have a big job documenting a construction project over the next week, and the R7 will be the A camera! It will also travel to Capetown next month for documenting/vlogging. That's how confident I am with the R7's capabilities.

@@robynsmith6974 I actually didn't take the R7, which was a good call for safety reasons. When carrying gear (even your phone) around Cape Town, one needs to watch their six at ALL times. It's a beautiful city, especially out near the bay, but, be on guard. My kit consisted of the GoPro Hero 12, Insta360 X3, Insta 360 Go3, Canon M5 & an older version 70-300, Pixel 7 Pro and Pixel 4a (5g). I shot more video clips on the trip than I normally would. We did an overnight safari at a wildlife refuge, which was kinda like cheating because it felt like going to a zoo, but you are much closer to the animals. For this I didn't need more than the M5. I don't think I will ever get back to SA - 14.5 hour flight to Cape Town from Newark with a 16.5 hour return flight to Newark. However, I am considering a trip to Uganda and the Great Rift Valley in Kenya, with a stop in Dubai first.

I shot with the R5 for a year. Took a lot of great photos with it. But being a FF camera, I was always struggling to get my birds close enough.... Even with the RF 800 F11. I then rented an R7 just to try it. OMG ! I loved it so much, I ordered one of my own, two days before I returned the rental :) The 800 on the R7 is an equivalent of 1280mm, and its great for most of the birds I chase. Still, I'm rarely too close, but "I'm close enough" a LOT more often :) Anyway, then I had my $3900 R5 sitting on my dresser, collecting dust. Shortly thereafter, I sold the R5 and bought a second R7 + the 600 F11 + the RF 100-400. Never been so content with my kit as I am right now :) BTW, the R7 with 32mp's on a 1.6 crop camera, puts more pixels on a small subject, than any other camera on the market. For a FF camera to equal the R7, it would have to be more than 80mp !

I couldn't agree more! Well said! We all want the full frame look when coming from aps-c crop but now a decade later I prefer the crop look over full frame. I've been tempted to pick up another R7 as well. How is the rf 600 and 800 image quality compared to L series glass?

I just ordered one in. I haven't used an APS-C camera since I had a 60D that my dad helped me get in high school. It was great for getting portraits and yearbook photos, as well as being pretty good for far away animals. I went to full frame because I wanted to be able to crop things more, and have the more versatile wide angle shots, as my main lenses for a while were a kit lens, and a Sigma 150-600 C that I still use frequently since it's cheaper and lighter than the new Canon 100-500. I currently have the R, and while it's a lovely camera, it is starting to show its age, especially with the new features brought out in the last few years. What's nice for me is that all my lenses and even batteries should work between the two cameras. It might take a while to find what lenses work best. I have the 24-105 that came with the R, and I have a feeling that I'll probably have that one more on the R7, and I personally love the Sigma 50mm on the R, so I'll probably go with that one, or perhaps the 150-600. I'm surprised at how well the Sigma lenses look on the R series cameras with the adapter, the 50mm looks the same as Canon's RF L series 50mm when I compared them side by side. Of course Sigma is heavier and not weather proof, but it was also much cheaper. I love the portraits I can get with it, but miss the zoom, so now I know that the R7 will be a good second body for events.

After adjusting the dials so that in the "M" mode they work the same as in the "Av" mode, to have the aperture under the index finger and the shutter speed under the thumb - during exposure bracketing (AEB) in manual mode (M), the camera takes subsequent photos by changing the aperture value instead of exposure time value, which causes the depth of field to change in subsequent photos. In this case, all the photos are useless and there is nothing you can do with them. What should I do to make the camera change the exposure time and not the aperture value during exposure bracketing in manual mode, so as to have different exposures with the same depth of field? I would like to mention that this problem does not occur in another Canon camera that I have, so it is probably a software error.

If I understand correctly I would program one setting specific to timing under C1 and one without timing under C2. See if that solves your issue. That way you can move quickly between those settings with the dial.

I had the R7 for about 6 months last winter. Amazing camera, except for 2 things, the high ISO is fine but not that much improved from previous Canon crop models. Also the RF lens selection is currently severely limited at the wide end. My favorite subject is indoor sports photography with very limited light and high shutter speed requirements. So I sold the R7 and got the R6m2 instead. And yes the high ISO on the R6m2 is amazing, maybe 2 stops better than on the R7. For my kind of photography the R6m2 is a better choice. Still I miss the R7 sometimes when not shooting indoor sports. The 1.6x factor is positive on longer focal lengths. Shooting 4K60p indoor video on both cameras provided excellent results, no visible difference there.

About the budget, I have no limits, but I don't want to overpay for something I don't need. Since one of the needs is to use the camera when travelling, I don't want the camera to be too big and heavy. When travelling I will be photographing architecture in cities, my wife, landscapes and quite a lot of video.

I LOVE my R6 II, but when it's full frame the lenses are bigger. I used to shoot with a Panasonic GH5 and loved it for the size of the lens and professional looks you get out of it, especially the video. That being said....The Panasonic G9 II was just announced and is small, lenses are small, creates great images, amazing 4k video with no time limit and the lenses are very affordable because of the micro 4/3 mount. This one now has phase detect autofocus, so nothing to worry about for focusing. You can check it out at this link here bhpho.to/3Lr3Obh. I've considered getting one. I do like the micro 4/3 mount system for its compact and portable ability and great images.
