Hi Mark,
Happy New Year from Gold Canyon in Arizona.
I just the other day perused your website and am impressed with your website and the articles and videos. And signed up to receive whatever you choose to share. Owning a 7II and ready to go for the 7RIII your way to describe the new camera are just perfect for me. All the Best for 2018, Manfred Helsper
