This seems to jive given 2022 is shaping up to be the "year of the crop camera" in many ways - GH6, OM-D, Fuji X-H2, and probably Sony A6700. Who said crop cameras are dead?

If it did all this and took the R5/6 battery grip. I probably couldn't preorder it fast enough lolFingers crossed that this will be a pro-grade sports/wildlife orientated camera, although the hints that it is a cross between an M50 and a 7DMkii could indicate otherwise.
If it's pro-grade, with bird-eye AF, fast burst speeds, an R6-based bodyshell, and a decent sensor with 28MP or more, it would make a great companion to my R5.
Same here. I normally wait a few months after a model is released (until the price drops and the initial bugs are sorted), but it's what I hope it is, I'll order straight away.If it did all this and took the R5/6 battery grip. I probably couldn't preorder it fast enough lol
Hard to say. The person who started the rumour apparently said it was like a cross between an M50 and a 7DMkii. If true, that would seem to indicate a slightly larger than M-sized camera with RF mount. We have no real idea of the specification yet, let alone the price, so the launch cost of the 7DMkii isn't relevant. The new camera could be a budget model, or it could be a semi-pro model, we just don't know.The 7D II launched at $1799 (body only), so it's safe to say that a R7 isn't an M replacement.
Aren’t all modern camera hybrids really?Yes I think we can take it for granted that all future R series cameras will be video-stills hybrids. Some will prioritise stills, others will prioritise video, but both will be on all models.
Only in field of view.With an APS-C crop factor of 1.6x, the RF 100-500mm would be equivalent to a 160-800mm on the "R7".
Exactly. I can't name any digital stills camera that doesn't also have at least basic functionality. Which is why I found cgc's comment odd.Aren’t all modern camera hybrids really?
Given the RF 16/2.8, 35/1.8 and 50/1.8, I don't really see any need for anything but a standard zoom (17-55 or so) and a wide-angle zoom (10-20 or so), and the latter they might do without for a while (the extant EF-S 10-18 or 10-22 with an adapter will do well enough). Although I kind of expect an RF 28mm f/1.8 or so anyway,That might be true if the owner also owns a FF body. Otherwise, the R7 also would need a wide zoom, perhaps a 10-20 f/4 and a fast and small 30mm prime.
Yes. The 100-500mm would become an effective 160-800mm F7.2-11.36.Only in field of view.
I can, and I did.Exactly. I can't name any digital stills camera that doesn't also have at least basic [video] functionality.
Hahaha! Somehow I knew that if anyone chimed in with a reply, it would be you neuro!I can, and I did.
If you are at the same distance from your subject, the RF 100-150mm f/4.5-f/7.1 lens is still effectively a 100-150mm f/4-5-f/7.1 on a crop as it is on a FF, and that is the usual situation when we are out photographing birds etc. It's only effectively a 160-800mm F7.2-11.36 on the crop if you are standing 1.6x further away with the crop than with the FF.Yes. The 100-500mm would become an effective 160-800mm F7.2-11.36.
But assuming a higher pixel density on the crop sensor, it would put more pixels on duck.If you are at the same distance from your subject, the RF 100-150mm f/4.5-f/7.1 lens is still effectively a 100-150mm f/4-5-f/7.1 on a crop as it is on a FF, and that is the usual situation when we are out photographing birds etc. It's only effectively a 160-800mm F7.2-11.36 on the crop if you are standing 1.6x further away with the crop than with the FF.
That'll teach me not to listen to dpreview articles about "equivalence" anymore then...If you are at the same distance from your subject, the RF 100-150mm f/4.5-f/7.1 lens is still effectively a 100-150mm f/4-5-f/7.1 on a crop as it is on a FF, and that is the usual situation when we are out photographing birds etc. It's only effectively a 160-800mm F7.2-11.36 on the crop if you are standing 1.6x further away with the crop than with the FF.
That's a different matter altogether, but crucial. The FF 5DSR has the same pixel density as the crop 7DII, and so they both put the same number of pixels on a duck with the same focal length lens. It's the same with the D850 and the D500 - they both have the same pixel density. Resolution is given primarily by the combination of focal length of the lens and the pixel density of the sensor, and that is precisely why it is wrong to consider crop factor by itself as a measure of resolution.But assuming a higher pixel density on the crop sensor, it would put more pixels on duck.
Well apart from that novelty retro one anyway!
Yep, that to me would be the main advantage of getting an "R7".But assuming a higher pixel density on the crop sensor, it would put more pixels on duck.
