Since the release of both camera's I've been looking to get rid of my backup body (the RP) and add a crop sensor to the collection. Specifically for wildlife, to get more use out of my Tamron 150-600 telephoto lens. I recently picked up wildlife photography and enjoying it a lot, however not sure if it's something I'm fully committed on yet.

My main reason to go for either of these 2 bodies is their insane AI autofocus and tracking combined with the newest technology, DIGIC X and sensor. But here is where I'm stuck.

The R10 is basically the R7 but in a cheaper body with a bit less options but for me I wonder if the R7 is worth the extra price bump. This is why:

• I never had IBIS and I don't think I really need it

• I never use any camera in pouring rain or wet conditions

• I never do video on my camera

• I don't need 2 SD card slots (in 8 years I've had no issues using one slot)

• battery life of both camera's is already better than what I own now and I always make it though the day with this.

• I prefer the wheel and button layout of the R10 because it's more familiar.

So basically my only reason to go for the R7 would be to have a more future proof body, which is more robust, has a bigger battery and more megapixels. But I really wonder if the megapixels is something to go for or not. The price difference here is €1.700 (R7) vs €900 (R10). You can get quite a cool EF or RF lens for that difference.

So What do you think I should do? Get a more future proof body for almost double the money or try out the R10 which ticks most of the boxes for me and settle with less good specs.

Hi, I have used a R10 for a year now for wildlife photography, but now I have an interest in buying a R7 and selling the R10 as I heard it has better overall build and features, IBIS, and (some say) better autofocus? So, do you think it's worth?

thank you :)

Hello everyone, I currently use a Canon Rebel T7 and am looking to upgrade to a mirrorless system for bird photography, which is a serious hobby of mine. I've narrowed my options to the Canon EOS R7 and the EOS R10, both with the RF 18-150mm lens.

Currently, there's approximately a 300-400 euro price difference between the two. I can afford the additional cost of the R7, but if I choose the R10, I could purchase the R10 with the lens and the RF 100-400mm. With the R7, I would have to wait to get the amazing 100-400.

I understand the R7 has IBIS, a higher resolution sensor and sealing. Will these features make a significant difference for bird photography as a hobbyist? Does anyone here have experience with these cameras for bird photography? I do a lot of landscape and nature photography as well.

I would greatly appreciate your help!
