I had slowed down on my birding and bird photography related activities in the last few years. In Sunderban couple of years ago I discovered my 7D was giving some problem. It would stop working, showing Error 20. I would need to switch it off and on again. Sometimes take off the lens etc to fire it back. So before our North Sikkim trip I took it to the Canon authorised service centre.
They just held the camera and told me, "this model has become absolute (sic). We cannot do anything about it." What he meant is it has become obsolete. True. I had bought it 12 years ago when it was the latest hot thing in the market. And Canon stopped its production many years ago.
After much discussion and some trepidation I finally settled for the R7.
