There are a couple of “higher-end” RF-S zoom lenses coming with the EOS R7 Mark II
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
Technically. But your statement that when the R7 launched >2.5 years ago we didn’t but now we do have an >$2000 APS-C MILC certainly implied that more time than two weeks passed between those events. A stopped analog clock shows the right time twice a day, so like your statement it is also accurate…briefly.
I know little about those cameras, but it was clear from the outset that the R7 was the ‘successor’ to the 90D, not the 7DII.

I'm not going to be drawn into defending something I never said. I really don't care if you approve of my posts or not.
True to form, you've posted five times in this thread, and all of them have been attacks on other forum members. You have yet to make a single positive contribution to this discussion.
If the people running this site can't be bothered to enforce their own posting rules, then it's up to the rest of us to call you out for being an a--hole.

Apparently you are one of those people who consider stating facts as an attack and don’t consider correcting misunderstandings to be a positive thing. How sad. I wish there were less people who opposed the spread of correct information, we’d be in a better place as a global society.
Also worth noting who in this thread descended into name calling. I bet you made your parents proud.

Tch. Now you are making me drive to the store to buy chocolate pastries.Nikon's D500, D850 and Z8 (and I assume Z9 too) are excellent birding cameras. I use them in conjunction with a few Canon DSLRs and mirrorless cameras.
OK, the DSLR ones maybe should go but R5 is excellent for landscape, museum and night photos and R7 with 100-400 for the occasional close bird photo (I can use the 100-500 but it becomes bigger and heavier) and all these with a Nikon DSLR with 500PF or Z8 with the 600PF.
So yes I would love a R7 II too but I am not in a hurry. My only complaint is that Z8 consumes the battery more than I can eat chocolate pastries. And I like chocolate a lot!

"The EOS R7 Mark II will be going “up market”, so it may be a true EOS 7D Mark II successor."
F-ing finally. Now we need Canon to stop pretending "pro" means full-frame for some ridiculous reason, and start creating proper APS-C L glass. The distinction of L glass being full-frame only is just stupid at this point, and they need to pull marketing's heads out of their posteriors and start producing true high-end L-level glass for smaller sensors. There's no reason they can't make an RF-S 17-55mm f/2.8L.
If people are really getting super hoidy-toidy about it, fine, you can call it an "L-S" lens so all the forum fanboys are not deeply offended that pros use smaller sensors. Pretending that sensor size is in ANY way linked to being a pro photographer (which literally only means "making money from it as a job"), is just childish and demonstrably false.

A solid crop-frame camera from Canon (R7 Mk2) with a stacked sensor might be of interest, but part of me would almost rather have a high-res full frame where if needed I could crop in.
Frankly, the R5 Mk2 already provides me a lot a leeway for cropping. Personally I find the R5 Mk2 and 100-500 mm L lens a very portable wildlife option.
I do see the usefulness of a APS-C camera for travel with smaller lenses, but for me this is rarely a concern.

The R7 is much larger than the R8, at the same price. So for traveling I use the R8+28mm.
The sigma RF-S lenses make me hope for a small Canon body with useable ES, so for only the R8 matches those criteria.

Yo tengo una R5 y una R7, tengo el Rf 100 500 y el RF X1.4 extender, y tengo que decir que en la vida silvestre la R7 llega donde no llega la R5, hablar sin probar ambos cuerpos lleva a una confusión.
32M más 1.6xde la R7 es llegar más, que los 45M de la R5 en formato completo.
Me haré sin duda alguna la nueva R7 Mark II.
Yes, the R5 with a 1.4 extender has almost exactly the same pixels on the subject as the R7 without an extender and with the R7 there is no extender loss. S/N is very close because the R5 with extender is working at 1 stop higher ISO for equivalent exposure. I find the R7 with the 200-800 to be a very good long reach combination.

No, they're not. Many of their pro camcorder models have L lenses and a red ring around the barrel, behind which sits a 1" sensor. Oh, and my Canon 10x42 binoculars have two L lenses.

I still want an RF-S version of the EF-S 15-85. It is the perfect single lens for most situations with my SL1. I would like to have that for my R10. Yes, I have other lenses, including the RF 24-105L, and EF 24-70 and 70-200 2.8s. But the SL1 with 15-85 is what I tend to grab. Lighter than the L's and sharper than my 18-150.

Nikon limits IBIS to its full-frame models. I discovered that in browsing their site to find a mirrorless camera to recommend to a few friends shooting APS-C Nikon DSLRs.
Fortunately their FF models are not much more expensive than their APS-C models.
Of course they'd also have to replace all their crop lenses right away.

Sigma has beaten Canon to the punch on the normal zoom. I have been using their RF-S 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN lens since it came out this summer. It's a worthy successor to the original EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8, which was my go-to lens from 2007 when I got it for my Rebel XTi to when I got my R7 in 2022, on which it was too big and heavy, particularly with the EF to R adapter.
The Sigma RF-S 18-50mm f/2.8, however, is actually smaller than the R7's kit lens. Since the R7 has IBIS, it doesn't need optical stabilization, enabling it to be quite light as well, at 10 oz.
I've also just picked up the Sigma RF-S 56mm f/1.4 prime, which is even smaller and which is sharp wide open, unlike Canon's 50mm primes, which all need to be stopped down to f/2.8 to be sharp.
