Canon EOS R7 Review: Best sports & wildlife mirrorless camera!

Published 2022-06-30
Chelsea & Tony Northrup review the Canon EOS R7, a 32 megapixel APS-C mirrorless camera for $1,500 (or $2,000 with the 18-150 lens). The R7 proves to be a versatile camera that can do it all: travel, landscapes, portraits, sports, wildlife and 4k/60 video. However, it's pretty expensive, and photographers who don't shoot action might be happier with the Canon RP's full-frame sensor. Additionally, we uncovered some serious problems using the 30 FPS (frames per second) with the electronic shutter: rolling shutter! As a result, we recommend choosing the mechanical shutter for action, which is still quite fast at 15 FPS.

LOVE you guys, TYSM for your balanced and unbiased assessments of new releases that matter, subscribed, liked and commented!
-
Thank you for sharing. I upgraded from Canon EOS M6 (APSC), to Canon EOS RP with good quality Canon lenses, following some reviews you made in the past and I am so happy with this step.
-
one of the best r7 videos so far. very unbiased, well done Tony and Chelsea.
-
Thanks! This isn’t the first of your videos I’ve watched and learned from, but it’s the first I’ve seen a “thanks” button on. High time! Looking forward to more of your comprehensive and useful videos.
-
If (as you noted) you had a better lens mounted on the RP, why not put that same lens on the R7 and compare its portrait results with the RP? It's hardly fair to test a camera with a cheapo kit lens against one with a mid-range lens. When you matched them with F/1.2 L lenses, the only real difference was the increased DOF of a crop sensor, which is to be expected.
-
Thanks for a great comparison video. This is just what I have been looking for.
-
7D mark II users who are complaining, please stick to the 7D mark II so those who care about performance and are waiting for delivery of the r7 can get theirs in time.
-
That's the first R7 review that I can trust! Thanks Chelsea and Tony! Are you considering to make a comparison of the R6 with a 1,4 teleconverter with the R7? I'm really curious to se this
-
Very nice of Milford Photo getting the R7 for you to do this review. Been waiting for this because I have a friend on the fence with this camera.
-
Brilliant review as always! Thanks!
-
You guys are awesome, thanks so much for sharing another wonderful video, I am still waiting for my r7 order 😢
-
Thanks Tony and Chelsea for your accurate review. Unbiased and objective.
-
Great video, you guys are awesome. I just ordered an R7 last night and I get it on Fri. Can't wait to use it! I had an 80D but it got ruined with a little water accident and I had to go back to using my super T6 that shoots at an amazing 3 fps, ha!

A lot of good information about the 2 cameras. I use Nikon personally, but it's always nice to get a different perspective. Nice to see Milford Photo mentioned. They have a lot of good online and in person classes, too.

We got ours this week (my son is the primary user) and it’s awesome. His R6 is going away and I am half tempted as well (I use an R5). At least for him the autofocus system seems faster and he has to switch to spot autofocus less often.
-
Good and worthwhile video, as always. Thank you.
-
100% agree on the misname - the body, ergonomics etc to me say it should be the R70, leaving room for a similarly spec’d, beefier body, R5/6 button layout, a true R7! Still tempted to get one as my stationary backup wedding video camera as it goes beyond 30min without an external recorder!
-
Thank you chaps that was really interesting. Hope my pre ordered r7 comes soon to England 👍
-
😊🙏 nice video, thanks for explaining and demonstration
