There is a market for the folks that used to use the 7D and 7DII that were looking for a high quality sports camera body at an attractive price but weren't willing to spend the long dollar on Canon's flagship line. Arguably, the R6 II and III more or less fill that niche without the crop sensor. I think there are still a fair amount of people that would pick up an R6 III with the simple addition of a crop sensor. They can shoot that way but I am referring to a native crop sensor. I don't think folks seek the R7 being the natural mirrorless extension of the 7D II.
The original r7 is way better than the 7dii. 15fps/efcs. 2x bigger buffer. And $1500. 32mpx instead of 22mpx. Better eye focus. Much lighter.... It is a highly underated camera. There is nothing that can match it or come close to it, at 15fps and effective reach for wildlife.
The closest is sony 6700 but it is 11fps/15ms/26mpx (r7is 15fps, 3ms, 32mpx) or Fujifilm x-h2s (15fps, 5ms, $2500).
You should try it. Its a bargain. Just ignore the electronic mode.
