Do 8th graders "graduate" now?Agreed. Birds in flight, R3 + EF 600/4 II. My 8th grader’s indoor graduation ceremony, R3 + RF 70-200/2.8. A classmate’s outdoor farm birthday party that my 3rd grader attended, M6 + M18-150.

The lenses are tapered, so they will have a smaller diameter than the cheaper RF 50 and RF 16.
That 18-150 looks very similar to the EF-M 18-150 both in overall size and "look" from the front, but it seems like it has larger maximum magnification (see post on Digicame-info), so maybe a slightly different design.
Still surprised on how good the "mock-ups" were, assuming that the images leaked today are those of the real cameras, of course. The R7 mock-up even showed that new rear dial sticking out from the backside of the camera. Only the right side of the camera (seen from the front) was different, (maybe to avoid issues with those images?).
I do agree with previous posters that some details seem a bit off, we'll know very soon
thx!For comparison: (W X H X D)
R10 Size: 122.5 X 87.8 X 83.4mm
M50 Size: 116.3 x 88.1 x 58.7mm
R6 Size: 138 x 97.5 x 88.4mm
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.I would love to hear from RP shooters how they find their EVF.
Thanks for sharing that! I’m surprised by the price, I was expecting it to be at least $2K US.
A very reasonable post.As has been discussed here many times, the sales of a pro level crop camera were clearly not high enough to have a camera that fills this niche and that niche alone. The 7D series was never updated to a mark III, which it would have been if it followed Canon's typical timeline. Nikon's D500, while getting great reviews from reviewers and consumers, never got a newer generation update either. The fact that Canon released the 90D rather than a 7D III with specs that were not pro level, but higher than the 80D, seemed to indicate that a compromise between the two lines was the path that Canon considered profitable. So, it could be quite possible that the R7 follows the same strategy. Not 7D level, but more along the lines of the 90D.
Which, for me - and presumably many of us - would fit with who we are and what we actually need as photographers. I'm no pro, but an enthusiast that does a lot of bird photography. If the price is right (and a pro level camera would certainly be more than I can afford) than this may be a great fit. I will care about the AF system, not whether or not it has a MF/AF switch on the front of the camera (a no-brainer good idea, it seems to me). I will care about FPS (And that seems to be confirmed as plenty good enough.) I will care about size and weight - and unlike many others, I think the R7 is a very good size for those wanting something close to the R5 and R6 (just a bit smaller and lighter). The R10 would be a great option for me if the R7 is too pricey as it would be a wonderful size and weight paired with my RF 100-400. The R10 would also be very suitable size and weight wise with the RF 100-400. Not sure why this seems absurd to say, but I care image quality, size and weight, and AF ability, not the fact that is has a newly positioned back dial (seems like it might be a really good place for it. I often have a bit if trouble manipulating the second top dial. I always liked the second back dial on the 6D). I care about what the photos look like, not what the camera looks like.
I sold my R6, but kept my 100-400 hoping for an RF crop camera. So, I'm looking forward to what these two cameras will offer.
But others, feel free to continue to whine and complain about the smallest little things that don't meet your personal desires. The more forum members whine and complain, the more convinced I become that Canon has made some really good decisions!
Perhaps I should have said ”for a sports/action camera not costing $6000.” Gotta shave those pennies somewhere.So the R3 isn’t intended for sports/action? Lol.

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.
Pangolin Wildlife Photography on YouTube has hands on reviews of both the R7 and R10 posted.
I think it's time they put out a firmware update for the R5 then... why would the lesser cameras and the more expensive camera have no limit but the R5 and R6 are stuck with a 30 minute limit?? That's just nonsense.For those who didn't see the video before it goes/went private, here's what I got:
15mechanical/30electronic shutter
1/320 flash sync
focus bracketing
4K/60 uncropped
4K/30 oversampled from 7K
Canon Log 3, 10bit 4-2-2, timecode, no 30min limit
Full-HD/120
Mostly disappointed about the EVF spec. Especially if it doesn't have a highspeed mode (100 or 120fps), which I kind of suspect it won't have :-(
