Back to the R bodies- the R7 did NOT come out same time as the R10 and R50, it is from the same generation AF as the R5 and R6.
Hmmm, I have both the R5 and R7 and briefly tried the R6 Mk II. The R7 AF configuration is identical to the R6II and later. With the R5, tracking is one of the AF modes. while with the R7 and others, tracking is independent of focus area. With the R5 I have a back button focus configured for whole sensor area tracking. With the R7 I have that same button configured for tracking on/off which applies to any focus area currently in use. The R5 and R7 are definitely not of the same generation. While the R10 release date was a month later than the R7 (R50 was April of 2023), both were released after the R3 which, I think, set the current standard for R body AF mode configuration. I have the R7 set to track animals and it tracks both animals and humans equally well in that setting. I can't compare actual performance to R10 and others but so far the R7 has worked well for me; as has the R5 with its configuration differences. I have to adjust a bit when I switch bodies.
Edit: Thanks Gochu, I'm a bit behind you in posting.
