CANON R7 FINAL REVIEW | A MUST OWN CAMERA

I'm "That Guy" who shoots weddings with the R6 & R7. In fact, I have always had an APS-C 2nd body (all the way back to the 5D) to compliment a full frame body. On the video side, the R7 is sooo much better than my R6 (still overheats with an Atomos Ninja). In fact, I have a big job documenting a construction project over the next week, and the R7 will be the A camera! It will also travel to Capetown next month for documenting/vlogging. That's how confident I am with the R7's capabilities.

Much better than my old 7D 2, especially the tracking. Love my R7.

Because of this I have ordered one picking it up tomorrow cant wait, coming from a 80d so hopefully see a big improvement. Great review.

An R7 it will be! I had the opportunity some week ago to try filming on a R7 with the 100-500 lens - it is just right ridiculous - steady razor sharp shots (corresponding to 800 mm) handheld, with no tripod!

I shot with the R5 for a year. Took a lot of great photos with it. But being a FF camera, I was always struggling to get my birds close enough.... Even with the RF 800 F11. I then rented an R7 just to try it. OMG ! I loved it so much, I ordered one of my own, two days before I returned the rental :) The 800 on the R7 is an equivalent of 1280mm, and its great for most of the birds I chase. Still, I'm rarely too close, but "I'm close enough" a LOT more often :) Anyway, then I had my $3900 R5 sitting on my dresser, collecting dust. Shortly thereafter, I sold the R5 and bought a second R7 + the 600 F11 + the RF 100-400. Never been so content with my kit as I am right now :) BTW, the R7 with 32mp's on a 1.6 crop camera, puts more pixels on a small subject, than any other camera on the market. For a FF camera to equal the R7, it would have to be more than 80mp !

I also went from a T2i to a 6D. I now use a 5D Mk4 professionally and i bought the R7 for a travel camera, because it's much lighter. I really like it! It's especially good for landscape but the eye tracking is excellent. On a recent trip to England, I used it 90% of the time, despite bringing the big Mk4.

AWESOME CAMERA , LOVELY FAMILY THANKS FOR THE REVIEW !

As a New Photograher this is my very first camera, And I was terrified. I am slowly getting used to it and learning. Hopefully 1 day I will be as proficient as you are one day. Thanks for this Video!!

Thank you fro the informative review Evalutaing cameras for upgrade Already have sigma ef glass 17-70 mm Hopefully can work smooth enough for at least studio work

Just bought on Black Friday and I just can’t put it down. Such a great camera.

I just ordered one in. I haven't used an APS-C camera since I had a 60D that my dad helped me get in high school. It was great for getting portraits and yearbook photos, as well as being pretty good for far away animals. I went to full frame because I wanted to be able to crop things more, and have the more versatile wide angle shots, as my main lenses for a while were a kit lens, and a Sigma 150-600 C that I still use frequently since it's cheaper and lighter than the new Canon 100-500. I currently have the R, and while it's a lovely camera, it is starting to show its age, especially with the new features brought out in the last few years. What's nice for me is that all my lenses and even batteries should work between the two cameras. It might take a while to find what lenses work best. I have the 24-105 that came with the R, and I have a feeling that I'll probably have that one more on the R7, and I personally love the Sigma 50mm on the R, so I'll probably go with that one, or perhaps the 150-600. I'm surprised at how well the Sigma lenses look on the R series cameras with the adapter, the 50mm looks the same as Canon's RF L series 50mm when I compared them side by side. Of course Sigma is heavier and not weather proof, but it was also much cheaper. I love the portraits I can get with it, but miss the zoom, so now I know that the R7 will be a good second body for events.

Great review.

Well done, thank you! I have the R7 and it is a fantastic camera. I would hope the R7 II would have a stacked backside illuminated sensor and faster shutter speeds up to 1/32000 and adjustable frame rates up to 40fps just to mention a couple of things. I also use mine with a speed booster for added flexibility and it works great! 😊 Thx

I've only ever shot an APSC in a DSLR (T6 and now 7D ii). I am up in the air about changing to a full frame. I shoot a lot of wildlife as well as some landscape, cityscape, event, and (getting into) portraits. The 32 mp count makes it rather tempting... Thanks for your review!

Just wanted to say thanks. I’ve had the R7 for maybe 4 months and I could have sworn that there wasn’t a 4K fine mode for normal non slow motion video and I was in 4K normal. I fixed that thanks

I love mine. Great b cam for the r5c.

Awesome video! You have a new sub! Would you recommend this with an adapter and 18-35 sigma to a small creator?

I'm keeping my R kit, but the R7 now replaces my M5 for "grab and go" and hiking. I hate to lose it and the size factor of the M lenses, but wow! the R7 is a performer! Now for more APS-C lenses. Where's my 11-22mm?

After adjusting the dials so that in the "M" mode they work the same as in the "Av" mode, to have the aperture under the index finger and the shutter speed under the thumb - during exposure bracketing (AEB) in manual mode (M), the camera takes subsequent photos by changing the aperture value instead of exposure time value, which causes the depth of field to change in subsequent photos. In this case, all the photos are useless and there is nothing you can do with them. What should I do to make the camera change the exposure time and not the aperture value during exposure bracketing in manual mode, so as to have different exposures with the same depth of field? I would like to mention that this problem does not occur in another Canon camera that I have, so it is probably a software error.

Many thanks for great review. Can you please advise me on the best camera for travelling, shooting video without limits in 30min, stabilizer, excellent portrait photography and street photography? 🙏The best and compact that is on the market. About the budget, I have no limits, but I don't want to overpay for something I don't need. Since one of the needs is to use the camera when travelling, I don't want the camera to be too big and heavy. When travelling I will be photographing architecture in cities, my wife, landscapes and quite a lot of video. I choose between Canon and Sony, so far the choice has stopped on Canon R6 mark2 or Sony 6700. Thank you all very much in advance
