Will there be a battery grip for the EOS R7?

"This is based on more than 45 years as a newspaper shooter and volume-portrait photographer."

Although the R7 is a nice camera it is not a professional level model. It sounds like you need to be in the pro level gear models. They are designed to use the accessories that a full time pro photographer needs. The average person that buys an R7 does not want or care if there is a battery grip or not.

"The battery grip is critical for my success with the Canon cameras. I have five cameras for school portraits, and two cameras for weddings/high-end portraiture. Every camera MUST have a battery grip to ensure I don't run short on battery power. This is based on more than 45 years as a newspaper shooter and volume-portrait photographer."

Been there done that but I am in my 50th+ year. That is why you buy 1 series cameras and/or in the new world an R3. I have never run out of battery on my 1 series but if you do a swap is mere seconds away. Outdoor graduations are the worst especially the ones on hot days.
