Here are the Canon EOS R7 and Canon EOS R10

I learn yet again in life not to believe 'Mr know it all's. I hope that this is a humbling moment for some on this forum. I personally do not have a need for the APSC camera currently but am delighted that it is launched. Also, no one can tell me anymore that APSC cameras do not make sense.
And, this is again a clear indication that it is bye bye DSLR. And we did not have to wait too long.

My take away from those videos is you can get class leading AF from a very affordable body. If you shoot in 15fps mech/CRAW on the R7 you will get a buffer of around 100 which is more than enough. In theory it won't be far off $1500USD which is pretty good for all those features.

I might have considered the R7 if it was indeed a technical powerhouse with a BSI stacked sensor, CFExpress B card, high R EVF with R5 body. Money saved while I wait patiently for the R1 to be announced likely sometime in the next 6-12 months.

RP user here - it is adequate and eventually I've adapted to it. It has its perks, like exposure simulation, which is surprisingly nice. It complements the camera decently enough for my needs, as I can gather useful information and feedback from it while shooting.
But for me, it's either that or the OVF on my 5D cameras (OVF is superior). I cannot compare it to other EVFs like on the newer R6 or R5.

A very reasonable post.
In my opinion the biggest drawback with the 90D was the autofocus. It was still a step below the 7D II. When I bought it for my wife, I was disappointed and, even though I hate the phrase, it did seem like Canon "crippled" the autofocus on the 90D. It appears the R7 will have the same autofocus as the R5, which is a big improvement.
As for the controls and button locations, it seems as though Canon is still experimenting with the best controls for mirrorless. I do hope it will have the touch control screen of the R5, as I think it was a huge mistake to not include that on the R3. But, I agree that repositioning the back dial is not that big of a deal. It certainly would not deter me.
I'm a little disappointed in the viewfinder resolution, but I expect it will be just fine for most uses.
Watching the Pangolin Tours video, I was a little surprised at the buffer size, which seemed small to me. For bird photography, it should be fine, but I can see hitting the max buffer shooting sports.
I do hope it will have the option to add a shutter click to the electronic shutter as I find shooting completely silent to be quite disconcerting.
The price seems very reasonable and in fact lower than I was expecting, although it does seem about right for the feature set.
If you can afford an R5 or an R3 would this be a better choice? Not for me. But, for those who find those bodies too expensive, it does seem like a very reasonable price and for many R5 and R3 owners, it is low enough to consider as a second body if you want a crop sensor for "reach."

Perhaps I should have said ”for a sports/action camera not costing $6000.” Gotta shave those pennies somewhere.

Seems like it's geared toward 7D shooters. Hard to really say without picking up or using the camera, or even seeing a comprehensive review of it, but from the specs listed in that video, it actually sounds like it might offer a decent package for that crowd. Only issue might be getting used to the new ergonomics. Not sure why they didn't keep the overall design and ruggedness of the R5 (or even the R6), though.

Y'know, it really hadn't occurred to me until someone just mentioned it, but I actually would bet the R1 is the answer to professionals looking for reach.
It's more than likely that the R1 is going to be a competitor to the A1 and have high speed FPS and super high resolution, especially when you consider that the R3 is Canon's current sports line.
So if the R1 ends up a quad-pixel 84mp sensor with 20-30+ FPS, it's going to totally occupy that high end wildlife/sports crowd that can afford $12,000 lenses, even if it's $8000.
Meanwhile, the R7 provides awesome reach in a low price for consumers who aren't as worried about 14 bit raw and just want that sweet 32mp 1.6x at 30 fps. With that in mind, as well as the R5's 1.6x mode, it makes more sense for the R7 to not be as professional as the 7D once was.

Certainly interesting. I was hoping for more from the R7, but it likely won't be a bad camera, just not what I want from it. I do like the dual card slots and high fps, but the buffer seems low as does the EVF resolution. Granted I haven't looked through it so what do I know.
