What is important here is the AF. The 90D wasn't the 7DII successor, but it is actually pretty good on IQ although its AF isn't. If the R7 has AF as good as the R5 or R6, then it is a huge leap forward because they are spectacular, maybe not as good as the R3, but still superb.Yes, that was my point. It wasn't an upgrade, and neither is the R7. The latter is a mirrorless 90D. There is no mirrorless 7-series, just a camera that happens to be called an R7.

I thought it was “the proof of the pudding is in the eating”The proof is never in the pudding. The proof of the pudding is in the taste. Please get your metaphors right.
That’s exactly right. I have an RP and my wife has an M6II. The control ring on the RP is mapped to exposure comp as is the quick menu dial on the M6II.
If you’re using primarily EF glass, then this is lost off course.

I always enjoy new releases from Canon and the reaction on CR. I'm anxious to see the hype from Canon and the reviews once the R7 is released. The 90D would have been a great camera if Canon had given it better autofocus. If they give this the autofocus of the R5/R6 this could be a nice option.
My initial reaction is that this is at best a refurbished purchase in 18 months or so. Certainly not a preorder purchase.
I don't think that aperture ring + joystick looks enjoyable to use, and I'm sure this will cost $2099, or somewhere in that ballpark. That said, it's nice just to see more cameras announced.
I guess if the viewfinder image is smaller (less magnified), like it traditionally is in APS-C optical VFs, then the apparent resolution is higher, of course at the expense of a more "tunnel-like" VF image. But I don’t know if that’s the case.
Does the introductory price of $1,499 USD change your impression at all?
And if canon really thought it was a necessity why not put the thumb wheel around that instead of the joystick
For me this thread ends with Micheal Clark laughing at me yet perhaps it's me laughing at Canon for putting a physical AF/MF switch on those bodies thinking if the thousands of folks wondering why their camera won't focus, lol. Fat fingering has GOT to be a consideration in ergonomics and button layout.
I already said I was wrong about the price in my post half an hour ago - no need to laugh react my message.
So I'm supposed to instantly know the content of every post before I can react to anything as I read through 19 pages of comments? And keep straight in my memory who said what in what post number on which page... ?
Assuming these pictures are legit...seems to me there were folk(s) who had a "preview look" (or knew enough) and were thus able to create a more accurate representation of the final product...
I initially found it odd that the mockup somehow had a AF/MF switch in that spot (no R cameras I know of have that switch, just the DOF button), but it all makes sense now.
Anyway, I expected that this "R7" would have been much closer to the R5 in size, features and appearance, especially considering the 7D series' strong resemblance to the 5D series. Perhaps even borrowing certain features from the R3 (like eye control and vehicle tracking) to set it apart and justify its price point with an APS-C sensor. Seems to be closer to the R6 in features, but even then, there are major ergonomic differences. Not sure what they're going for here? Looks similar in size to the RP (and I notice the viewfinder sensor is on the right instead of the bottom - as an RP user, this is an inferior position). Strange design choice if it's true. Or perhaps this is meant to be the APS-C version of the R and RP release where Canon is testing the waters before they come out with the "real" ML legacy camera lines?
The "R10" appears to perhaps be, to some degree, the mirrorless successor of the 90D.
As an M-series user, neither of these bodies interest me, they are larger/heavier than I'm willing to tolerate for an APS-C sensor camera.
Honestly, if this is what they kill the M line off for, than it was a pretty shit deal IMO.
Yeah he's has proven tool status long ago. Also those multiple replies, it's ricockulous. Moving on.
