This camera had me pretty excited when it released since I love my sigma 18-35, but my current EOS M6 Mark II setup still serves me pretty well while still being more compact so my excitement also cooled a bit. It is rather unfortunate that Canon decided not to make the 1080p better though. The 4k is downsampled which is great but would have liked to see 1080p be downsampled too! Good 1080p is still worthwhile and useful imo.
I upgraded from the 90D to the R7 and am really happy with my choice. There are for sure interesting alternatives, especially when the FX30 came out I was checking that out too. But somehow I like and can work better with Canon and had anyways couple of ef-s lenses which i use on the R7. For TH-cam its perfect, I do reviews, interviews and boutique presentations (all hobby though) but so far its great and keeps up with the task. Do 95% Video, sometimes foto. Great review Caleb, it was a great review, happy to see my feelings about the R7 confirmed.
Totally agree! 👍 Loving my R7 for video work (TH-cam, client work and family stuff). And set up for the future with all RF lenses when I finally go full frame. And indeed, the Sigma 18-35 is fantastic with this camera! 😊
...and then Sony dropped the FX30. To be clear, this is a very solid TH-cam camera, but if you are in the $1500-$1800 price point and focused almost exclusively on video, the FX30 will grow with you FAR more. This is especially true with the ability to upgrade to four channels of audio with two phantom powered XLRs and a 3.5mm jack with plug-in power. Also just by buying higher end CFExpress A cards, you can shoot super high bitrate internal with the codecs required by broadcasters. Add a Ninja V and you can shoot ProResRAW. In terms of a camera to grow with at the lower price point, the FX30 is definitely the camera to pick right now.
Another amazing feature is Canon’s EF to RF adapter with a variable ND filter built in. With that and the Sigma 18-35, or any Canon ef/ef-s lens, it essentially gives this camera an internal variable ND filter which is amazing.
Thanks for the review. I was super excited about this camera at first. But I don’t think it's quite as capable as I need it to be. This review kind of pushed me even more towards the XH2S and bump my X-T4 down to b-cam.
@@jfilmzstudio3470 It’s crazy! But the AF along with those juicy files and the readout speed are the things that pulls me towards it the most. And the lack of record limit for longer interviews. Now, if they could fix that fuji app to make it as good as Canons. That would make my life complete 😂
Funny thing: This is actually also a great wildlife photography camera. I will get the R7 as a backup camera for my next wildlife trip next year, and just found out how great it also performs as a video camera as I like to shoot interviews with two cameras. As my main camera - the R5 - is able to shoot clog3, this should make combing video material from both cameras quite easy. Also, with the Sigma RF 1.4 trio coming out, this should give people even more options of shooting great pictures and videos.
I'm trying to get a hold of one of these for my wedding films to be the b-cam to my R6... It looks like a fantastic package, especially with its unlimited record time, but it is so hard to find it body-only! As soon as it is available it will be an instant-buy from me!
A favourite part of this camera that surprised me and I don’t think you mentioned is the physical AF/MF switch. I switch between the two often, and it was always a cumbersome process without the L glass switch. Now it’s super easy with any lens!
The video of the R7 in the studio looks extremely noisy, it's very obvious in the colored emtpy walls, very distracting. But I think something is actually off with this particular video since the whole video, even his default cam looks noisy, with lots of artifacts and those white dots flying around.
I hate that cannon banned third party lens. i was really looking foward to getting an cannon r7 with it being able to shoot 4k/60p 10 bit and upgrading from a z50 for video and pairing with viltrox or sigma rf lens but i guess i got look into the Sony A7 IV or nikon z6 IIi . I dont see myself paying 1800$ for a cam body and than having to buy a 1500$ lens . The truth is a lot of these third-party lens performs the same if not better than the canon lens but for 1/3 of the price. really greedy move by cannon banning third- party lens 😥 edit: sony drop fx30 my prayers have been answers 🙌
🙏💐 It's true.... Canon had made monopoly due to it's greedy marketing strategy to banned third party lenses. In last month I'd seen many had moved from purchasing canon to Sony. As Sony had still kept open it's lens mount option for third party.
Check out fv mode. I control all of my main settings with the front dial and rear wheel without having to look up from the viewfinder. You can set it up as manual, aperture priority, shutter priority, or any combination with FV mode using only the front dial and rear wheel. Having that rear wheel up is better than down when you're using it this way. With my A7iv I have to reach down but on the R7 the wheels right under my thumb.
I’m actually really wanting to pick this up for weddings. I mainly use my S5, but want to snag this up for gimbal use just to have at least 1 camera with killer autofocus. As always, fantastic video!
I agree that it’s a great body, but saying there are a ton of lens options available is a bit of a miss with this review. Yes canon has *some* affordable RF options, but they don’t perform as well as other first party options from their competitors and the lack of third party RF options make them fall way behind the competition. I absolutely love canon bodies, love the ergonomics, love the feel and love the colors most of all, but the lack of RF lens options steered me to an A7IV over an R6 and would steer me away from this body if I was looking to buy something at this price point. Honestly I struggle to understand Canon’s stance on this issue as lensing is really the only thing holding them back from really owning multiple market segments at this point.
Waiting for the sigma lenses to be released. The sigma site says the RF apsc lenses are in development. Hopefully viltrox will start making some lenses too. Those viltrox 23mm and 33 lenses are very good.
How do you feel about the S5 vs R7? Knowing that the S5 is almost the same price as the R7 and with many more professional features? Thanks for the review dear Caleb.
Hi Med, I have both cameras, having bought the R7 recently and having had the S5 for some time. Here in Australia the S5 sometimes get as low in price as the R7 retail, but the R7 was on 15% discount for some time so still cheaper here. I bought the R7 to fill a few gaps in the capabilities of the S5. The S5 really is an amazing camera that has many Video and Photo assist features...you can get cinema quality video the equal of many of the more video dedicated cameras available..and photos of amazing quality too... this will be harder with the R7...but when you need autofocus where subjects are moving towards or away from the camera a lot..or there are a lot of multiples subjects moving around..or any quick autofocus adjustment the R7 is just more reliable. If i'm doing time lapse...long exposure...astro...portrait...low light...or want a real "movie" feel i'll be using the S5...if i'm taking action photos or video...definitely the R7 as long as it's not dark. Note if you have a lot of existing EF mount glass (which many video people do) and want to use an adaptor...then the Sigma EF glass works OK on the S5...Canon EF glass not very well but it's ok for photos but super slow. Canon EF glass works pretty good adapted on the R7...Sigma EF ok. If you want to get serious about video though, you really have to start to learn manual focus anyway.
I bought it as a b-cam for my bmpcc 6k pro but also as a travel camera ! I was looking for something small with ibis, ef lenses and good autofocus. I am quite happy for now.
@LAS Directions LLC no issue I use color match in Resolve. I will also try color space transform soon. I will put some footages in few weeks. I never used Sony but I used Fuji and Panasonic cameras. Canon colors are way easier to match bmpcc footages than Panasonic in my opinion and just little easier than Fuji.

When you are shooting with the Rode VideoMic at the beginning, how are you feeding The audio/video into your computer? Are you using an external capture device?
I own one, but I have already pre-ordered the Sony FX30 and will sell it. I disagree that there are great lens options. The primes you mentioned sure, but there are no quality affordable rf-s zooms. If you shoot live events, you need them. I refuse to pay the premium for FF glass when I don't own full frame or want it. All you mention is correct, but it depends on what and how you shoot. Image quality is amazing. Image stabilization works well with some lenses, not all...same for AF
Hey, is it just me, or what are those white pixels flickering over your black shirt? Is it an issue of the camera you recorded with, I hope not the R7 or is it a byproduct of YT compression?
I find myself constantly using my R7 with a viltrox speed booster over my R5C due to its battery life for ENG docus; with a LP-E6HN it can last almost 4 hours with power saving mode.
you are comparing the wrong cameras. The correct comparison for the a7siii is the r5. and personally as a hybrid photo and video shooter the r5 is better for me. 12 MP is not enough
Is there any loss of range when using the adapter other than speed booster? For example: 18mm in an aps-c would be around 28mm! Using the adapter that comes in the box along with the “canon r7”, would it be the same equivalence as it was directly in the camera?
Caleb I am thinking of purchasing the Canon R7 and currently own the Canon T5i which I have a few Canon EF & EF-S lens. I know I can purchase the adapter to use the EF & EF-S lens on the R7, however in your video you mention a speed booster (focal reducer) and demonstrate the appearance with and without the speed booster. My question is where can I purchase the speed booster you demonstrate and does it fit between the R to EF / EF-S lens adapter which would seem the only placement order from the R7 camera body. Your help would be much appreciated.
Thinking of selling my BMPCC 6k pro as I find it hard to take out and about due to its size, lack of AF and IBIS. would the R7 be a good swap? I shoot the occasional micro film, documentary style stuff, but would love something for more run and gun stuff!
You did not mention the white elephant - Canon disallowed third party lenses. I do not agree with this practice and will definitely go for Sony FX30 for my next upgrade instead of considering R7.
hi there, thanks for the review! I learned a lot. I have a Viltrox EOS-EF-M speedbooster and it has an optic built in. The EF-RF adapter posted in the description doesn't look like it has any optic, so it can do 0.71x reducer without it? Thanks
The video is excellent as always, Caleb! It looks like a great camera indeed. Would you recommend it for run-and-gun style shooting? Mostly in regards to IBIS and rolling shutter.
It's too bad the video is littered with strange artifacts. Maybe the compression was lower than it normally is? Any clarity as to why were are seeing fixed block noise in a lot of the footage and mysterious white dots on some of the shots could be nice. Also I would love to know why you are over exposing Clog3, is that so you can bury the noise in the shadows? If so it seems to not be working all too well.
@@avdcam why reupload? A couple white spots won't change anything about the narrative of this video. There's really no benefit to Caleb reshooting everything. Stuff like this happens, doesn't matter that much.
@@futc.photography I just assumed the in camera recording might be clean and therefore worth a quick file swap. Obviously remaking the entire video because of a cable issue isn't worth it, The white spots are not a big deal, it's more the brutal noise that is a serious counter to the real quality possible in the camera and, in some ways, contradicts Caleb's overall point of view. For a casual viewer, Caleb loves the camera, but doesn't mention the obvious noise in the footage. Just seems strange, especially in a camera review.
Looks like a sensor issue with your talking head camera - multiple random "dead pixels" in your talking head shot - not YT compression. Super noisy vision and crazy banding in BGs. The banding's likely the YT compression on those fine light grad BGs Caleb sets up in his BGs. Are the rushes quite noisy Caleb? Seems to struggle to resolve any super fine gradients of colour most notably in BGs (more than just from the YT compression). Does it look this way before or after LUT/s is / are applied? Does is look this way with just a custom grade and no LUT?
Seriously considering this over the fx30. Just seems like a better option more since I have a handful of ef lenses already for my Black Magic cameras. I could use something with AF Does the canon adapter allow AF to still work with non canon EF lenses like sigma and tamron? Oh and does the 4k 60 have any additional crop?
As a lifelong Canon user I strongly reccomend Sony or Nikon because of the third party lens situation. You don't want to be in my situation where you can't get the lenses you want without them being massive DSLR lenses adapted.
If an R6 Mk ii shows up, it would be nice to see if it is cooler running for video than its predecessor. It sounds like the R7 is, but the R6 Mk ii might still run hotter than the R7. If you can check heat by radiation that would be nice. Also battery life is a pretty good indicator of power efficiency.
I feel like Canon has had the ability to make such a great camera in the price point for a long time, but have always limited this price point to up-sell people to more expensive camera. At this price point, there's so many incredible devices being released by Sony especially with the FX30 now), Fujifillm, and Panasonic, that they could no longer keep releasing camera's such as the RP or M series camera. They can't continue to keep losing market share, they gotta get people invested in RF Glass somehow.
Yes, the video has lots of little white specs. Turned out to be a bad HDMI cable between the camera and recorder. Sorry!
can I use those luts in LumaFusion?

Yeah that is awful.
I agree that is sad. As a Sony user, that together with great AF was very important points for me buying into Sony E.
back to sony.
That's awful, but the RF glass is working great also :-) and tack sharp. Love the 85mm AF Viltrox F1.8
Yup, dealbreaker for me. Great camera, but if Canon doesn't want me to have the option to buy interesting lenses, I won't bother.

It’s nice to see canon finally catching up with everyone else, shame they’re privatizing the RF mount. Anti consumer practices are wack.
The Canon R7 is everything I wanted the Canon 90D and Canon 80D to be. This is what I wanted Nikon to do with the Nikon Z5
Thanks for the great content. Would you suggest this to a small creator (who has only used Canon) over your 'MINIMAL' cinema rig?
Should I get this one or the S5ii for TH-cam?

Would you consider at some point doing a review of older cameras like the GH4, GH5, A7SII, C100MK2, etc.?
Seems like they really addressed a lot of things that people wanted, that’s awesome. More impressed with the R7 than I expected to be 👍

yeah, the A7S3 is quite expensive, but it will have much more flexibility than this camera... if you know how to use it...
you are comparing the wrong cameras. The correct comparison for the a7siii is the r5. and personally as a hybrid photo and video shooter the r5 is better for me. 12 MP is not enough

This is the power of APS-C that I am still a fan of. Well done Canon
can you link the focal reducer you mentioned?
As a film person who shoots photos with an Eos R, and am looking to grab a gh6 for video, would it be worth it to try and trade the R for an R7?
what type of downsampling does it do to get it’s 4K image? line skipping? pixel binning?
Does it have aperture/shutter priority video shooting?
Sony has just dropped the boom with fx30
You did not mention the white elephant - Canon disallowed third party lenses. I do not agree with this practice and will definitely go for Sony FX30 for my next upgrade instead of considering R7.
But are there any RF-S lenses yet available? Can I use EF-S lenses with the camera in any way (adapter available?)?
What focal reducer were you using? So curious.
Also wondering the same thing.
Sigma 18-35 is a great lens for the price. I use mine on both my T6i and my EOS R. Weighs a ton but sharp as heck.
hi there, thanks for the review! I learned a lot. I have a Viltrox EOS-EF-M speedbooster and it has an optic built in. The EF-RF adapter posted in the description doesn't look like it has any optic, so it can do 0.71x reducer without it? Thanks
This Better than sony FX3?
Looks like a great B cam to my R5C.
We would love FX30 vs R7 vs A7iii
The video is excellent as always, Caleb! It looks like a great camera indeed. Would you recommend it for run-and-gun style shooting? Mostly in regards to IBIS and rolling shutter.
I think so! Again, for $1500 I don't think there is much better this second.
@@dslrvideoshooter How about a used Lumix S5? They are around 12-1500 USD, full frame, great video features and ibis
Will you be making a course on its use?
How was the autofocus on this? I’m looking for a good camera to use with ECAMM live.
Hey, how are you doing where can i find the focal reducer you use for the example
When i use the Sigma 18-65 I get a TON of vignetting. Any ideas?
I bought an R7 and sent it back. It felt cheap and just way too small for my hands. I bought an R6, instead and it fits my needs well.
Might want to update your affiliate link for the EF-RF adapter. They’re asking $205 for the standard adapter in that link! 😮
It's too bad the video is littered with strange artifacts. Maybe the compression was lower than it normally is? Any clarity as to why were are seeing fixed block noise in a lot of the footage and mysterious white dots on some of the shots could be nice. Also I would love to know why you are over exposing Clog3, is that so you can bury the noise in the shadows? If so it seems to not be working all too well.
Turned out to be a bad HDMI cable between the camera and recorder. Sorry!
@@dslrvideoshooter OH wow, honestly, the totally makes sense now. I have seen HDMI kind of like that in the past, wow. Any chance for a reupload?
@@avdcam why reupload? A couple white spots won't change anything about the narrative of this video. There's really no benefit to Caleb reshooting everything. Stuff like this happens, doesn't matter that much.
@@futc.photography I just assumed the in camera recording might be clean and therefore worth a quick file swap. Obviously remaking the entire video because of a cable issue isn't worth it, The white spots are not a big deal, it's more the brutal noise that is a serious counter to the real quality possible in the camera and, in some ways, contradicts Caleb's overall point of view. For a casual viewer, Caleb loves the camera, but doesn't mention the obvious noise in the footage. Just seems strange, especially in a camera review.
How well would you say it works with an Atomos Ninja V? Does it open up the camera nicely or not at all?
Hmm. Looks like some banding on the wall over the desk.
Looks like a sensor issue with your talking head camera - multiple random "dead pixels" in your talking head shot - not YT compression.
Super noisy vision and crazy banding in BGs. The banding's likely the YT compression on those fine light grad BGs Caleb sets up in his BGs. Are the rushes quite noisy Caleb? Seems to struggle to resolve any super fine gradients of colour most notably in BGs (more than just from the YT compression). Does it look this way before or after LUT/s is / are applied? Does is look this way with just a custom grade and no LUT?
Seriously considering this over the fx30. Just seems like a better option more since I have a handful of ef lenses already for my Black Magic cameras. I could use something with AF Does the canon adapter allow AF to still work with non canon EF lenses like sigma and tamron?
Oh and does the 4k 60 have any additional crop?
As a lifelong Canon user I strongly reccomend Sony or Nikon because of the third party lens situation. You don't want to be in my situation where you can't get the lenses you want without them being massive DSLR lenses adapted.
If an R6 Mk ii shows up, it would be nice to see if it is cooler running for video than its predecessor. It sounds like the R7 is, but the R6 Mk ii might still run hotter than the R7. If you can check heat by radiation that would be nice. Also battery life is a pretty good indicator of power efficiency.
I feel like Canon has had the ability to make such a great camera in the price point for a long time, but have always limited this price point to up-sell people to more expensive camera. At this price point, there's so many incredible devices being released by Sony especially with the FX30 now), Fujifillm, and Panasonic, that they could no longer keep releasing camera's such as the RP or M series camera. They can't continue to keep losing market share, they gotta get people invested in RF Glass somehow.
Can i get sample footage for testing color

Would love to hear your review of the c70 now that’s it’s been out for a while with meaningful firmware updates and upgrades.
The effect where the different Logsvtransitionninbthe video, what is that effect called?
