Nice! I had fun with a fisheye on my M series, long sold. I might be tempted to get the Laowa RF-S 4.5-10mm for the R7 as it is cheaper. I guess the RF-S might work in crop mode on the R5 etc as only exposure is monitored in manual Av mode for these no-reporting lenses?

I just resent the idea that old cameras are garbage as soon as newer ones turn up. People made great photos 100, 50, 20 10 years ago, with whatever cameras they had.

I think most appreciate that. I have enjoyed every camera I have had and took what were for me many great photos with all of them. For static photos of birds, my 5DSR with EF lenses was as good in practice as my subsequent R5 and R5ii. And I also got many of my favourite birds in flight shots when I could use the central 9 points for panning and manage the slow fps and small buffer. What the new models do is to expand the range of what I can do easily - like latching on to very rapidly and tracking small birds from the edge to the centre of the image. Nailing dragonflies in flight was much more difficult. Nevertheless I could get shots like these with the 5DSR.

When I sold my R7 years ago, I was already fearing it will be hard sell due to Mark II rumors

That being said, from a theoretical/philosophical pov I believe the R8 is more important line.
Imho evolution of photo tech these years should include the transition from crop sensor more towards to full frame. Crop sensor used to be a necessity with it's disadvantages.
Canon STILL not having a proper crop-lens lineup is just +1.
....although not having ff compact body at the very same time is veeery puzzling. (No, we do not count the R6V for multiple reasons.)

Opticallimits reviewed it a few days ago.

20-70 just after the 20-50? That's the least likely.

But that 20-50 is a F4-lens.
The 20-70 has been rumored to have a VCM-motor, and not more than F2.8. Maybe even F2.
So it will be a "completely" different lens in my opinion

So, won't they use the R6M3 sensor? They're stuffing it into everything now

R6 Mark III is Full frame.
R7 is APS-C.

Cropped to APS-C dimensions, the R6 Mark III sensor would only be 12.7 MP.

The Shriners around here do it just a little bit differently!

I would have thought that 90D/M6 ii sensor would be getting a bit too old for an R7 ii in 2027, it will be around 8 years old by then. I think they will make a new faster sensor with less rolling shutter.

The 5DSR was not an entry level DSLR but an expensive 5 series, and an excellent one at that. It had pretty good AF through the viewfinder.

It was expensive, and it still has the same good AF. You probably missed my ;-) (winking face smily).
