Any news on a Canon R7? or such that will handle Canon 7D II type wildlife photography?
[..] Canon has publicly stated no M5 MK II.
Or step across.With 45 MP and probably a less aggressive low pass filter as found in the 1DX III, the R5 should already outperform the 7D for Wildlife in anything but battery life.
If you're not the kind of 7D shooter that uses big whites and instead wants a high end crop body to save some, a step down in build quality and number of card slots to a 90D, M6 II or possibly upcoming 'high end' EOS M.
I don't think they'll bother with a 'true' 7D successor. Step up or step down.
The account I read had a comment from the interviewer where he said that he asked them if he had heard right, and they said yes.(He did not say that in the published interview, but was quite sure he understood it correctly). I did not take that as ambiguous. Its been so long ago that I doubt that relocating that comment would be easy. If Nikon comes up with something, Canon will answer.They didn't say that outright, the way they phrased it was ambiguous, I took it along the lines of "Hey, see this shiny new M6II? It is soooooo much better than that 2 year old M5, you could say it replaces it."

Despite the criticism of DPR by many they are still the resource most manufacturers go to first when wanting to communicate to the enthusiast market. DPR is no worse than another site and actually conforms to journalistic standards much better than hobbyist run blogs.DPreview said they’d asked that, but I don’t trust DPReview to report anything correctly when it comes to Canon.
Oh I think certain writers at DPReview have well earned their biased reputations, and now it is an Amazon company nobody should be under the illusion it is anything more than a sales organization.Despite the criticism of DPR by many they are still the resource most manufacturers go to first when wanting to communicate to the enthusiast market.

I agree that Amazon is a sales organization and as they sell everything puffing them all would help sales. OTOH, they are such a critical channel for the brands that criticism (that is never in short supply on the net) hardly changes their dominant sales position. I see some articles that omit or overlook some features or faults and gloss over or ignore some brands but on the whole I see them as reasonable. In fairness a lot of upset gets generated by owners of gear that feel they got/get short shrift in a review or article. The truth is that there are very few IQ differences in the various classes of cameras that render anything a true "deal-breaker" or "game-changer" except in the fantasies of how some owners "might" think they will use their camera as opposed to the cat photos they actually make.Oh I think certain writers at DPReview have well earned their biased reputations, and now it is an Amazon company nobody should be under the illusion it is anything more than a sales organization.
