From The-Digital-Picture Review:

Many referred to 2014 as the “Year of the Lens”, and the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM Lens was one of many 2014-announced models. That lens was the hottest, most in-demand model of them all. The Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II is in an elite class of zoom lenses capable of producing prime-grade image quality at all available aperture and focal length settings. Put a very useful focal length range into a ruggedly-built, pro-grade lens with fast and accurate AF, very effective image stabilization, and very impressive image quality, and it is destined to be a very popular model. The 100-400 L II quickly became one of my favorite and most-used lenses.

The Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM Lens set the bar very high, but the Canon RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM Lens has cleared it. Only six years after the EF 100-400 L II was released, the Canon RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM Lens is on the streets. Featuring a lighter weight and longer focal length range, this lens surpasses the impressive predecessor in many regards and gained immediate strong popularity. This lens and I are going to spend a lot of time together.

From CameraLabs Verdict :

Ultimately the RF 100-500mm becomes the best overall long telephoto zoom for the EOS R system, and will delight sports and wildlife photographers. Like other RF lenses, it’s unapologetically high-end with a price tag to match, but brings genuine advantages over the already excellent EF 100-400. If your budget will stretch it comes Highly Recommended, especially to owners of the latest EOS R bodies who can use it to really exploit their improved autofocus and burst capabilities.

From PhotographyBlog conclusion :

The new Canon RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1L IS USM improves on its popular DSLR predecessor in a lot of ways – it’s sharper across the frame and throughout the zoom range, has a more effective image stabilisation system, is lighter and more compact, offers faster autofocusing, features a fully removable tripod collar and a customisable control ring, and extends further to offer 100mm extra reach.

If you can afford the sky-high price-tag, then we can certainly recommend the Canon RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1L IS USM as a simply brilliant telephoto zoom lens for Canon full-frame mirrorless camera owners.
