    R7 for bird photography and birds in flight

    No I haven't. I should probably do so sometime, although I may sell the R7 before I get round to it... Ergonomically I found the lack of a third dial on the R7 a pain. Rob

    R7 for bird photography and birds in flight

    After going through a Scottish winter with the R7 (and EF100-400 MkII) I got an R5 and RF100-500 which I love. I haven't used the R7 since. Rob

I love(d) the 7DII and by and large it did what I wanted. The R7 not so much. Having said that today I...

    R7 for bird photography and birds in flight

    Agree with much of what John has written. I use the same combination and it can resolve more detail than the 7DII could. The animal eye focus is reliable if the subject is close enough (and if there is enough light - it struggled with a close dipper in poor light last week) I typically do use...
