The R7 is utterly reliable and fairly full featured. I had three of them and never had any problems. I now have an R6 to use with my old R7 motor drive, and an R8. The R8 is a pretty fantastic camera too, but lacks the motor drive still. The 60mm macro is an awesome lens that can also serve as a standard lens if F 1.8 is fast enough for you. You will have no complaints with this combo. Be warned though, you will be tempted to get more R series lenses.
