Much better than my old 7D 2, especially the tracking. Love my R7.
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.
So random, but how was Cape Town??
@@robynsmith6974 I actually didn't take the R7, which was a good call for safety reasons. When carrying gear (even your phone) around Cape Town, one needs to watch their six at ALL times. It's a beautiful city, especially out near the bay, but, be on guard.
My kit consisted of the GoPro Hero 12, Insta360 X3, Insta 360 Go3, Canon M5 & an older version 70-300, Pixel 7 Pro and Pixel 4a (5g). I shot more video clips on the trip than I normally would. We did an overnight safari at a wildlife refuge, which was kinda like cheating because it felt like going to a zoo, but you are much closer to the animals. For this I didn't need more than the M5.
I don't think I will ever get back to SA - 14.5 hour flight to Cape Town from Newark with a 16.5 hour return flight to Newark. However, I am considering a trip to Uganda and the Great Rift Valley in Kenya, with a stop in Dubai first.
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.
How has it been?
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!
It is one of my favorites.
AWESOME CAMERA , LOVELY FAMILY THANKS FOR THE REVIEW !
Thank you!
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 couldn't agree more! Well said! We all want the full frame look when coming from aps-c crop but now a decade later I prefer the crop look over full frame. I've been tempted to pick up another R7 as well. How is the rf 600 and 800 image quality compared to L series glass?
Hello! What do you think about Om-1 with 300 F4 pro + 2 tc (mc-14 and mc-20)?
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.
You will love it. I do. I've been tempted to getting the sigma 50mm art for awhile now. Pretty reasonable in price.
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
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
Thank you! Yes, I would take all of that. It would be cool if it offerred what the R3 has, which is that retina focus through the viewfinder.
May I ask which Speedbooster you use on the R7 ?
Great review.
Thank you!
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!
It is a great camera!
Just bought on Black Friday and I just can’t put it down. Such a great camera.
I love hearing that. It is an amazing camera with so many features.
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
Big difference, right? I love the image quality of the fine.
I love mine. Great b cam for the r5c.
How do you like the R5C? I'm very tempted to get one. I would be torn between that or the R70.
@@JaredHoyman I love the r5c. Having such a capable video camera is great of course, but also being able to flip the switch and have a full featured photo camera is excellent. Actually just shot a wedding with it this past weekend and the photos are phenomenal. I do have a c300 though, and although it’s old, it’s tough to beat the flexibility of built in NDs and if I was going to be only shooting video, I would probably get the c70 for that reason alone.
I would have bought one to replace my 7D ii for field sports but the lack of battery grip made it a total non starter. We shoot jpg and mostly portrait orientation so no grip is just a firm nope.
Awesome video! You have a new sub! Would you recommend this with an adapter and 18-35 sigma to a small creator?
Yes...that is an amazing combo.
@@JaredHoyman Thanks!
I second that.
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?
That's what I have been saying. Instead let's wish for 9mm on the wide end though 😉
@@JaredHoyman Let's wish that my wish comes true first!
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
I LOVE my R6 II, but when it's full frame the lenses are bigger. I used to shoot with a Panasonic GH5 and loved it for the size of the lens and professional looks you get out of it, especially the video. That being said....The Panasonic G9 II was just announced and is small, lenses are small, creates great images, amazing 4k video with no time limit and the lenses are very affordable because of the micro 4/3 mount. This one now has phase detect autofocus, so nothing to worry about for focusing. You can check it out at this link here bhpho.to/3Lr3Obh. I've considered getting one. I do like the micro 4/3 mount system for its compact and portable ability and great images.
at 13:54 you mention that the articulating display doesn't get in the way of the ports (HDMI, mic, etc.). However in the video exactly that appears to be the case, as the articulated display blocks the largest of the port covers... Can you please clarify that? Thank you!
I should probably reword that. It can be full articulated and it's not blocking any of the ports. To swivel it while there are ports being used you just need to bring it back a little and swivel and re-extend.
@@JaredHoyman Thanks for clarifying that!
I have a canon m50 mii invested $ on lenses. I really love this camera and don't plan to get rid of it. Instead I want another canon preferably weather sealed budget with a lens is 2000.00 I like the R7 what would you recommend?
R 7 is excellent. I would recommend it.
The Canon R7 is everything I wanted the Canon 90D and Canon 80D to be
Part of me thinks they didn't intend for it to be this great because where do they go now from here.
Obturador mecânico igual !!! 👎
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.
If I understand correctly I would program one setting specific to timing under C1 and one without timing under C2. See if that solves your issue. That way you can move quickly between those settings with the dial.
The longer I own this camera the more I like it.
I look for excuses to sell and buy, but this camera is hard for me to do that. It has made an amazing studio camera for my video's. Very reliable and amazing image.
I had the R7 for about 6 months last winter. Amazing camera, except for 2 things, the high ISO is fine but not that much improved from previous Canon crop models. Also the RF lens selection is currently severely limited at the wide end. My favorite subject is indoor sports photography with very limited light and high shutter speed requirements. So I sold the R7 and got the R6m2 instead. And yes the high ISO on the R6m2 is amazing, maybe 2 stops better than on the R7. For my kind of photography the R6m2 is a better choice. Still I miss the R7 sometimes when not shooting indoor sports. The 1.6x factor is positive on longer focal lengths.
Shooting 4K60p indoor video on both cameras provided excellent results, no visible difference there.
I love having both those cameras for those exact reasons. R6ii is perfect for most everything. If I want extra zoom then the r7.
Hi, I'm thinking about selling my R6 mark I for a R7. Mostly because I miss the extra reach for birding. But I also use the R6 for insects and landscape. How are your thoughts on this? I know there is a low light performance difference but never seen it in real world. Greetz Ab
I like both the r7 and r6 so I own both. For my needs in real estate I prefer full frame, but for video and reach I love the R7. If you want that extra reach you can do the r7. 32mp will allow you to crop in even more. You can always rent before you buy too.
@@JaredHoyman thanks Jared. I just read about maybe a R7 mark 2 is coming so I'll wait until Canon comes with news in May.
I’m still thinking what to take r7 or r8 for pet photography (cats) indoor mostly in action and still photography…. Don’t know what will be better choice for me as a beginner
Both are good options, so that does make it hard to decide. R7 has more features but r8 gives you full frame look. Images will look great on both. Just make sure to invest in good lenses.
@@JaredHoyman thank you for advice 🙂 what lens will be more suitable for such genre of photography? RF 24-105 F4L or RF 70-200 F4L? Thank you
It's good camera for vedio And making films???
Yes! Very good!
How is the kit lens for video?
Not bad at all. I did tryout the lens and it performed pretty well and offers a long zoom to 150mm. I already had the 24-70 L and 15-35 L, so I ended up selling it. It's pretty quiet from what I remember for Video.
@@JaredHoyman thank you!
I don't get the more reach argument. Just shoot in crop mode with a full frame.
Shoot in crop on full R6 II at 24mp you now are only getting 15mp image. On R5 45mp you are getting less than the R7. You will always get a more detailed 1.6x image on aps-c using the whole sensor than cropping a full frame sensor by 1.6x
I love my 6D and won’t part with it… My 7Dmk2, Damn what a terrible camera. Can’t wait to replace it. I hate that camera.
