€-prices in germany are the same as the $-prices - at the moment you can only get body with adapter or kit.
Would have loved to get the R7 without the adapter for less.

Some stores in Australia have a deal where you get the R10 or R7 plus a free EF-RF adapter or spare battery.

R7 is on preorder from B&H

 

[VOTOXY]

can't wait for the M series successor...

 

[CanonGrunt]

Interesting. The R7 will be a great addition to my wildlife set up. That’s for sure.


“ 30 fps with the electronic shutter3,4, and with RAW Burst Mode with ½ second pre-shooting”

“Get professional quality video with Smart Shoe integration for audio and HQ 4K (oversampled from 7K).”

Pre-ordered my R7! Comes shipped with the adapter in box.

Wex are doing 2 x Lexar 128GB Professional 1800x 270MB/Sec UHS-II V60 SDXC for £49.50 with the R7 too! Nod a bad deal!

M10 based on the R10? I think the additional engineering cost would be pretty trivial but I've given up on the M series.

Buffer seems quite small at 30 FPS. 30-40images in raw before you notice lag.

Much cheaper than I expected. I was consider a 90D a couple of years ago, and if my trade-in ever actually completes I'll have to think hard about the R7 versus the R5/6. Although it would feel a little weird going back to APS-C after all these years...

The R7 price makes the R3 look very expensive

The R7 price makes the R3 look very expensive

The R7 makes the R6 and R5 look expensive as well. The Z9 makes the R3 look expensive, mostly because the R3 IS expensive.

 

[Rocksthaman]

Never used APC, what’s the difference for say sports in shutter speed given same lenses?

 

[padam]

It will be interesting to see what's the third body for 2022, presumably a FF model under the R6 will look like.
Maybe same 20MP sensor without IBIS (no wobble), smaller battery, no recording limits, and hopefully they won't remove Canon Log 3.

As I keep saying, the real benefit of APS-C is lower cost.

As I keep saying, the real benefit of APS-C is lower cost.

I am wondering how artificial is that price gap. For example R7 vs R5. The most significant difference is the better EVF and FF sensor.
That cannot justify double the cost.

 

[Loswr]

For those looking for a mirrorless version of the 90D or xxxD/Rebel, I’m happy. The R7 and R10 fit those needs.

The skimpy buffer, weaker weather sealing and lack of a battery grip mean the R7 isn’t a mirrorless 7-series despite the badge. No doubt many will find the compromises acceptable.

Cost of goods is only one factor in a pricing decision, and generally not the most important one except for widget-class products.

I hope Canon has the RAW Burst mode with ½ sec pre-shooting on the flagship EOS R1 camera. That would be a great feature to have for wildlife photography. I wonder if they could add this feature to the R3 by firmware update?

To give an example of size ... you can fit 2 M6's in the space of 1 R10.

Camera	Length (mm)	Width (mm)	Depth (mm)	Volume (mm3)	Weight (g)
R10	122.5	87.8	83.4	897,008.7	429
M6	112	68	44.5	338,912	390
M6 Mark II	119	70	49.5	465,349.5	361
