I’ve had a 7D for 13 years and I am ready to replace it since Canon no longer supports it. What would you recommend that has similar/better specs and buttons in similar places?

So you got a perfect replacement that fits your needs. Not everyone needs the same type of gear to perform there job well or hobby.

Yes, of course I knew that! What I meant was, just as in the DSLR days when EF and EF-S lenses would work on an EF-S mount, now the single RF mount will accommodate both RF and RF-S lenses. Back in the DSLR days, one could not physically put an EF-S lens on a EF camera body because the lenses projected too far back into an APS-C body. and fouled the mirror. Now, one can put EF-S lenses (via an EF-RF adapter) and (as I understand it) even some RF-S lenses onto the FF bodies, but those lenses will not project an image onto the whole FF sensor, thus reducing the Field of Capture to that of an APS-C sensor.

It is true ALL RF-S lenses (RF lens with an APS-C image circle) will mount on a Full Frame R series camera. The camera automatically switches 1.6x crop mode and CANNOT be changed unless a Full Frame lens is mounted. Note RF-S omit the AF/MF switch you have to go into the camera menu to enable AF or MF. On the R7 & R10 they have a physical switch on the body that changes between focus modes. This switch ONLY applies to lenses that lack an AF/MF switch on them. They also lack the IS switch too. I believe that IS is always on with these lenses. But they can be turned off in the camera menu.
