Back to the question, whether to buy a Canon-7 (vs. a Canon-P). I put both on the scale. The 7 has 670g where the P has 620g (both with film). The accessory Canon Meter for the P is 50g.
My first Canon RF was the P. I don't planned to buy a 7, but get in bundled with a 2/35 lens. I put some rolls film through and it's as good as the P and not much bigger. Even the P is big and heavy compared to a Bessa-R...
I found the finder of the 7 better, even the P is 1:1. But I have problems to see the whole 35mm area with glasses. Forthermore the 7 is easier to focus.
I would not agree to some comments saying the 7 is lesser build than the P. For my two cameras, this is not true. Both are very strong build.
With a non-working meter I wouldn't prefer a 7.
But with actual prices, the 7 is the best Canon RF bargain.
