Hey everyone! I'm about to pull the trigger on a Canon R7, and I’m super excited! 🎉 I’m getting it mainly for an upcoming trip as a solid woldlife camera.

I’m stuck between buying a brand new R7 at a discount or going for a second-hand one. I’ve heard rumors about the R7 II coming out soon, but I don’t mind getting the R7 now and maybe upgrading a year or so after its release. I live in Singapore at the moment.

Option 1: New R7

• 💰 Price: $1290 USD

• 🏅 Warranty: 15 months

• 🎁 Extras:

  • JBL Flip 6 speaker

  • Kioxia 32GB SD card

Option 2: Second-Hand R7 (1-year-old)

• 💰 Price: $1010 USD

• 🚫 No warranty

• 📷 Shutter count: ~5K (mechanical + EFCS) based on app, but estimated ~10K including electronic shutter

• 🎁 Included accessories:

  • 2 original batteries

  • 2 third-party batteries

  • Portable charger (no original charger)

  • 128GB 180MB/s SD card

Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback! If you could share tis on what to look out for when buying second hand that would be appreciated too!

Thank you all in advance!!!
