don’t forget, that you can use the whole range of EF and RF lenses also with APS-C, the range from 10mm to 2400mm (1200mm +2x Extender) is covered 
And since EF is fully supported, there’s an impressive second hand gear market
Of course 
If I was going to try to convince anyone to go APS-C it would be to Fujifilm. If someone already has glass I get picking Sony, Nikon or Canon, but without glass if you’re going to go smaller format than FF, it should either be Fujifilm or M4/3.

My main lenses on the R7 are all EF mount and I have never had a complaint with them. Plus, if I do buy into a Canon full frame at some point then I won’t have a need to buy even more glass
Canon are very protective of their lenses. At least in APS-C, they’re now allowing a modicum of competition, which is good.
I remember when Fujifilm was like that some ten years ago. It was honestly a shame, seeing all the cool stuff Sony and DSLRs were getting to play with, while us Fujistas just had Fuji glass.
Of course this has changed now in Fujiland. For the longest time, Fuji lenses were comparatively heavy and slow. Only the competition made Fuji wake up and innovate again. Or perhaps it was a coincidence? Funny, Fuji only started officially opening up their mount relatively shortly after the first inofficial reverse-engineered autofocus lenses started releasing.
So I think it’s only a matter of time until Canon can resist no longer, and the ecosystem will be all the better for it.

This, along with the fun around trying to decode CR3 files in FOSS without an NDA, was another reason I moved to Fuji. Though now all my fuji lenses are official fuji glass.

It’s going to be an interesting one! When I first heard it was going to be a 1" sensor, I was a bit disappointed, but then recently I’ve started to get really into the idea of compact cameras, and now I’m very intrigued about this new offering. I’m not sure I’ll be into the diptych feature, and the camera might be aimed more at the TikTok generation, but I like the fact that Fuji are trying new things.
If some of the gimmicks are only optional and it can also function as a standard compact camera, it might be a really nice option.

@europlatus you might be able to make a business “importing” them into the US if Fuji decides not to sell them here

Well, I need the money! Although I’ve heard that Leica are raising prices in Canada to match the price increases in the US, despite the fact that Canada is not imposing tariffs on Leica products. Basically, they want to prevent a grey market developing. It’s expected that other brands will follow suit.
I hate everything about it. I feel sorry for US customers who now have to pay the extra “tax”, but Canadians are being punished too for the trade policies of another country. It’s maddening.

I wonder if the 1" sensor could also be a way for them to develop some computational photography that will later be applied to new bodies, or even backported to something like the x-h2s. One can hope

They have started adding ND filters, which is something I’d really like on my X-T5. Although I’m not expecting any big firmware upgrades anymore for bodies of this generation.
The price of this new X-Half makes me think it won’t be including lots of exciting computational features. I think it will be more like a “serious” upgrade option for Instax users or those coming from a smartphone. We’ll see in 3 days!

I think that with current sensor technology, 1" is ideal for a lot of users, especially if it allows a smaller camera.
Kudos to Fujifilm for ignoring the pretense that all applications need a large sensor. I hope someone will print “my other camera is a GFX” stickers for it

Those tarriffs have screwed with the whole world. Even in Australia we can not escape the effects of the tarrifs on world trade and the world economy. Liberation day wiped a huge chunk from my retirement funds, which thankfully has slowly been coming back until the next tarrifs hit.
I think this is the bit where I’m supposed to jump in and call everyone geeks. 
Wow! Thanks for your input everyone. I’ll take it into consideration. Much appreciated!
If you put an EF-S lens with the Adapter on the R7, does it work without problems? I guess it will be, as if I do that with my RP it simply goes to 1.6 Crop mode and accepts the lens? So is it a viable option to use the R7 with EF-S lenses?
My EF-S lenses work fine with the adapter

My EF-S lenses, that are of course all Canon(*), work very well with my R7 and the adapter.
The result is a bit more variable with my “small-Image-circle EF” from SIgma, my recent 17-70 “Contemporary” works well, my somewhat ancient Sigma 120-400 works but will often hunt/pulse. OTOH on the R7 it will autofocus even with the 1.4x extender.
(* ) Third-party brands (Sigma, Tamron…) can’t produce EF-S lenses, technically they do only EF lenses with a small image circle.

Today I discussed with a friend about the R7 and he said that the R7mkii is near… No real specs out there yet, but many speculations.
I was tempted to go on a hunt for a used R7 but maybe it is a good idea to wait for the mkii …
It’ll be interesting to see what they come out with, but what they’re teasing with the rumors isn’t getting me very excited to buy an upgrade.

The current R7 is fine. If you wait for the hypothetical Mark II, you’ll get it when it is priced the highest, and so will probably pay dearly for somewhat marginal improvements. My best purchase was a 70D, just before the 80D came out. And when it did I couldn’t see anything in the 80D worth the huge price difference.
