As a photographer I prefer flipy cause it allows me to use the display in vertical shots (you know, a lot of use shoot vertically), the tilting would be mostly welcome for the classical horizontal video, but with vertical video exploding and all the vloging happening flip-out wins again cause it ads more options. The best solution is the one in the Sony A7rV I really hope that this will come to Canon someday...Still has the flippy and no tilt, too bad. Canon, would you please drop the flippy and incorporate a tilting screen. Or, add the tilt feature within the flippy that way photographers (not just content creators) will be happy.
As you imply, for people not deep into sports, the A7 IV it is plenty fast. Take me for example: I don't do sports and use the faster frame rates of my R5 sparingly to avoid being overwhelmed by too many images. I typically set it on 3 frames per second and switch to 8 when I know that fast action is coming. 3 is great as I can take single images easily when I want that... with 8, even if I pay attention, I usually end up with 2-3 images even if I wanted only 1.The sony is so dreadfully slow though. When it came out my thought was it couldn't compete with the R6. Of course right now sports is my thing so obviously the bias toward speed is there.

I have my AF-On set to "Direct Auto Focus Selection" and have the amount of AF methods limited to only Face Detection, Point, and Horizontal Large. Both on my R5 and R6. Just press to cycle. I always have Eye Detection enabled while in Face Detection mode, but you can also program a button to toggle Eye Detection on and off while in Face Detection mode if you want to make that further distinction.It's finally the quick shift button between Eye-AF and spot AF (NOT HOLD AND SWITCH, BUT TOUCH AND SWITCH) ...
Just kidding, Canon does not listen to their customers, so it will probably be a button that needs to be HOLD the whole time to switch to Eye-AF.
dear - why do you think Sony did not put A1 sensor A7M4 ? or why A9 stacked sensor was not put in A7M3 ?What do you expect? Get an R5 for the price of an R6?
Of course, there won't be a lot of changes. I still think it will have the stacked sensor, because Canon currently doesn't have a 24M full frame sensor other than the R3 sensor. And it's unlikely they developed a new one specifically for this new model, when they already have the stacked sensor in production. It's cheaper for them to produce more R3 sensors than put development cost into a new sensor and have a separate production of non-stacked 24 MP sensors.
I was following a Soccer player on YouTube who bought the 1DX III only because it was Canon's most expensive camera.hahaha mmd!!!
I met a R3 user in Hamburg on a boat trip. He had a really nice setup. But as I asked him what he is shooting normally with the R3... it was really quite . For sports he prefere still the 5DIII ... he has one of the best current cameras, but doesn't know the segment to use it . Its just big, expensive -> must be nice to have. Fits exactly the video . But he was nice and not like the 1D user in the video haha.
Customise a button to "Register/recall shooting func."It's finally the quick shift button between Eye-AF and spot AF (NOT HOLD AND SWITCH, BUT TOUCH AND SWITCH) ...

Too much drama.Canon, make it a stacked sensor and I'll finally have my perfect camera. Do it for the theatre!
The 135 looks great, like a longer 50mm.
The IS and weather resistance is very welcome.
photografers mostly use viewfinders) and when the angles of shooting going crazy - flippy screen has way more capabilities. And it still can tilt all the way up, down and forward. Fun fact - content creators may need tilt screens more then photografers)Still has the flippy and no tilt, too bad. Canon, would you please drop the flippy and incorporate a tilting screen. Or, add the tilt feature within the flippy that way photographers (not just content creators) will be happy.
You can assign you M-Fn button to do this - toggle between AF modes.It's finally the quick shift button between Eye-AF and spot AF (NOT HOLD AND SWITCH, BUT TOUCH AND SWITCH) ...

The R7 body option shows backordered everywhere, including Canon USA. You can get one with the "kit" lens immediately from most places I checked. I was in no hurry, so I ordered an R7 body only from Canon USA ten days ago expecting to wait a while. It arrived 9 days later, much to my surprise.The R7 is still backorded everywhere I look, so the 'lost sales' currently have no real world impact.
There have been several methods posted (so far, there are others, I use a different one) to achieve what you want.It's finally the quick shift button between Eye-AF and spot AF (NOT HOLD AND SWITCH, BUT TOUCH AND SWITCH) ...

I never implied that the R7 was a "dog of a camera", far from it I stated that I would have ordered one myself if it had been based on the R6 bodyshell. In terms of *specification* the R7 is excellent. But IMO it would have been cheaper if Canon had repurposed the R6 body for the R7. I also think it's better ergonomic design, and using the same body would have eliminated muscle-memory problems for those of us who use 2 camera bodies. Presumably the reason why they changed the body design of the R7 was that they wanted to sell it at a much lower price than the R6, but if they had done so then the R6 would have seemed massively overpriced. Your sarcasm about them barely selling any also misses the point that Canon, in common with other brands, are finding it difficult to meet the demand for almost all models, due to supply chain issues, primarily the global shortage of chips.Yes, it must have lost them tons of sales. I mean they're barely selling any, they've already had to reduce the price a couple of times just to shift the massive inventory they have cluttering up the warehouses, no-one is at all interested in buying this dog of a camera. What? Oh wait, never mind.....
I also shoot theatre, so, you and me both!! Amen!I've had a few theatre gigs recently, mostly I attend dress rehearsals so shutter noise is not an issue. But sometimes there will be audience members and even though the R6 is quiet, I still know it's making a sound, that people can hear it, and it may affect or bother the actors and audience. Electronic shutter is not an option due to banding under LED lights.
Canon, make it a stacked sensor and I'll finally have my perfect camera. Do it for the theatre!
