Thank you for the update . The main question for me is whether the rolling shutter of the R7 has been improved significantly enough. I hope the readout speed would be closer to the R5ii, but realistically, expect it to at best be around the r6iii's.
I agree. The question is....is it a cropped sensor R5ii or a cropped sensor R6iii? The R7 inherited a sensor from a DSLR cousin that never had any sensor read out speed issues because of the mechanincal shutter of those models. This is the first Canon dedicated Mirrorless cropped sensor with a consideration to readout speed. The big question is...is it based off the R6iii or the R5ii architecture: will it have a fast non stacked or a super fast stacked sensor?
Only canon knows at this moment. However a sub 14m/s readout will be a massive improvement over the R7's readout speed. Hey...we would love a sub 5m/s readout though.....
A common user interface will be a big improvement for the R7 linage, dual cards (One CF express) is another boon....as will be the improved AF capability. Maybe a superior resolution EVF of the R6III will be cool too. I tend to find the sub 3 mill pixel EVF's to be grainy and jumpy. Over that res, I can't seem to see any difference between them other than contrast.
I'm really looking forwards to this camera, I think it needs to be a camera that's greater than the sum of it's parts / specification.
Hi.
I used the 7D and 7D Mark II for 14 years. When I bought the R7, I thought it was rubbish. A week later, I had no problems at all. By the way, with some limitations, I think the R7 is a great camera for the price. A while ago, I tried using the 7D Mark II and found it very difficult. The R7 II will surely be better than the R7 in every way, and I'm not worried about the ergonomics because in a few days it will feel like an extension of my body. I'll definitely buy it.
I don't think R100 buyers are agonizing over features and specs anyway.
And I don’t mean that in a critical way to the buyers. But from Canon's perspective, seems like it’d make sense to skip R&D expenditures and keep the price low, low, low.

The R10 though… well, I was recently a buyer in this price range, and I couldn’t understand the R10's positioning. Its missing features the cheaper R50/R50V have. It feels dated.
And it’s $1000! That’s a price range where most buyers, I think, look at specifications more closely. That body definitely needs an update.
