New camera!

Merry Christmas everyone! I have finally replaced my ten year old Canon 70D today with a Canon R7. Looking forward to finding out if the autofocus is as good as the hype suggests. The 70D will stay on as my second body.

Be sure to post some pictures.

There is a chap at Oulton that uses a R7 with a 200-500 virtually all the time and his images look fab, so don't think you'll be disappointed.
Good luck.

Nice Christmas present - I've had mine since 2022 and almost 25K images, the autofocus will look like magic compared to your 70D - especially the subject tracking modes.

Be prepared to do lots of image culling if you use the higher speed drive modes, it's really easy to shoot way more images than you imagine.

I have probably tripped over him, as it is my local. The thing is positively tiny compared to the 70D with a battery grip attached.
