I wish the R10 were about $150 less expensive. I like the small size and specs, and if they can port the 32mm f/1.4 lens to this platform, I'll probably buy one as a back-up to my R6. I kind of hate Canon for still force-feeding the small battery to us in some models they arbitrarily decided are "for consumers only," and sticking the SD Card into the same compartment as the battery, though. Got to acknowledge Canon including a fully featured AF joystick, separate AF-On button, and two control wheels on a consumer-level camera model, though. I just hope that they will include a fully featured AF system on all these models going forward with animal eye detect (seems like the R7 has this, at least), and that lenses with IS don't cost too much, since the R10 has a fixed sensor.
As for the R7, I'm really disappointed that they didn't stick with a three-control-dial based layout like on the R5/R6 (with a fourth dial on the lens). The flywheel control dial subsuming the AF joystick is a good idea, but, like so many experimental features on Canon cameras (the touch bar of the R, the AF selector switch on the 5DIV, the eye control AF of the R3), will probably never be propagated to another camera model, which is disappointing because it would actually be really cool to see variations on it. Imagine two flywheels on the back--one subsuming the AF joystick and the other subsuming the AF-On button. You could even bring back the control dial subsuming the shutter button of the EOS-M6II, and you'd *still* have room for a fourth dial on the bottom right of the camera (around the SET button).
Generally glad to see a physical AF/MF switch on the camera, since the Focus/Control switch on budget-tier RF lenses is completely pointless. Also glad to see that Canon has moved the power switch to the right shoulder of the camera, but almost every other camera system in existence do power switches better.
