After switching from Fuji to Canon R7, it's very frustrating to see the image quality of this camera. I have used support rather not taking photos with handheld. The ISO was 400, even the image is so much grainy. Should I start planning to leave this Canon and again going back to my old buddy !!!

I am not buying all that is said above. The basic factor with grain/noise is ISO. Always try to shoot at the lowest ISO possible if grain/noise is your main most thing.
Something to keep in mind is to slightly overexpose the shot in camera. That will drastically reduce the amount of grain you will see. The reason why is that grain/noise is more pronounced in the darker, shadow areas of a photo. If you underexpose in camera and then correct in Lightroom you will actually introduce more grain/noise. In Lightroom’s Develop Module, use the Luminance slider in the Details panel to help with grain/noise . Simply move the slider to the right to reduce noise. Remember, less is more here! Photoshop has a specific filter for reducing noise in an image. Choose Filter>Noise>Reduce Noise. Again, less is more here!

"All crop sensor cameras have a tendency to show noise much more than the larger sensor units, .... It's all about pixel density."
I would put that statement solely in the opinion file category. It so infinitely difficult to compare two camera systems. Sensors are just one part of a complicated assortment of electronics that create a photo. High ISO is the factor that affects noise/grain the most. I can get crummy noise in my 4MP 1D. Huge photosites for sure.
