I forgot to mention this. For the side by side comparison tests I used the RF 15-35 on the R7 and the RF 24-70 on the R5. Both were shot in 4K Fine 24 fps Clog 3. I used the zooms to match the field of view. I also adjusted the aperture a bit higher on the R5 to get the depth of field to match as best as I could. The autofocus test was done using the same lens setup but both cameras were set to F2.8 to make the autofocus work as much as possible.

I'll say it again.This guy, hands down is the best Canon R7 reviewer on the entire internet. No other reviewer whether on KZfaq or or any website compares to you and your multiple Canon R7 videos posted so far. You answered pretty much every single question I could think of before buying the R7.

The R7 is turning out to be the killer app for Canon: it offers so much at an incredible pricepoint! Well done Canon. Now please do some more decent RF-S lenses too so that we are not obliged to sell our kidneys for the RF ones 😅

Dude I just gotta say, I’ve been watching your content like crazy the past week. I bought a c70 and am doing the thing where I binge all possible content until it gets delivered. But your videos are just great. Keep crushing it!

Nice to hear the thing about overheating. It is so frustrating in the R6. I am planning to move to R5 after the new firmware, but R7 sounds good. Thanks for this video, very nice!

Regarding the troublesome mini HDMI port; l shoot video for 2-6 hrs per on my Canon M50 and Sony A6400 cameras. I went through 3 mini HDMI cables each, all broke off. The Mini HDMI cables will break on the end, just too weak. I finally solved the problem, shot with both cameras now for 1 yr straight not 1 broken HDMI cable. I had to put a rig cage on each camera. Once l had that l got a UURig R068 Camera HDMI Cable Clamp. Now l plug in the mini HDMI to the port and simply tighten the UU Rig clamp and the HDMI is rock solid, won't move or damage it even if you directly hit the HDMI cable directly where it plugs into the camera. For me being forced to purchase a rig cage ended up being my favorite improvement to my set up. I shoot surf videos (Bali Surf Hunters KZfaq channel) with telephoto lens in the 400mm to 600mm range and since l got the rig cage have also added an external monitor, external mic, and recently, external V mount battery set up. It all depends on if you hand hold or shoot video on a tripod. If hand held, go for camera rig cage and UU rig clamp only. If shooting video on longer shoots with a tripod, go with the external monitor and external batteries, both are fantastic upgrades.

This is the 10th video im watching one after the another from your channel !! You are so informative compared to other creators... Thank you so much for all these information and please keep up the good work coming!

This channel is a videographers dream, been here for a while and every vid is legit amazing!

The R5 is noticeably sharper and has more resolution. One could really see it when both camera’s image is shown side by side. After all, it is a better camera so it is expected.

Josh, keep in mind many of the R7 buyers are current 7D, 7D mk 2, D80, D90 owners and likely already have numerous EF lens suited to crop sensor cameras so the current limitations of Canon crop sensor lens that are RF mount might not be as big a factor as you think. I believe you are coming at this from the perspective of a guy that owns higher end gear (Canon C70, R5 and expensive full frame class). The main reason owners got a Canon 7D or D90 is bang for the buck, likewise why getting the R7. With limitations in budget my bet is most of these camera owners in this demographic will not sell their old glass and replace it with RF lens when the Canon mount converter works fine. Example, I own a Canon 400mm f5.6 and Canon 70-200mm lens with a 1.4x teleconverter. There's no way l can afford to buy a new R7 and just sale those old lens with the old mount and buy a $2800 RF mount 100-500 lens.

I just had the chance to try out the R7 on field today. Manage to shoot eagles from a boat in the sea. It turns out very good. The AF was so fast to lock on the subject and track well. Manage to get at least 70% keeper. Mind this is the first time i use the R7. It was pair with RF 100-500 L. Consider the sway movement of the boat and fast action of the birds dive to catch the meal. I consider this camera was way above my expectation for a sub 2k camera.

need a r6 mark ii vs r7 comparison. Then im ready to make my 1st purchase. i need the better overall quality camera between the 2. for photos/videos/vlogging.

Hey man.. Just wanted to say thanks for all these vids on R7. Enjoying your channel overall now😎

Josh thank you for doing these R7 videos! They are super informative and helped me decide to purchase the R7 kit 150mm lens yesterday. Now I have to watch and like all your other videos on the R7. Already subscribed 😎

Just got my R7 last week, thanks for all the videos really shows how amazing this little camera is for the price.

It's really good to see a reviewer who addresses the needs of the people at the budget end of the market (thanks for your tip about Resolve). I am using your video on settings as a reference tool. I was interested in your comments about the histogram not displaying on the screen, had you noticed that it does however display in the viewfinder?

I love these reviews Josh. Very thorough. You are really leading the pack on getting deep into the R7’s features. I’ve learned a lot from your videos. I love that the R7 picture quality is very compatible with the R5.

i am planning to buy a new camera to replace my old 70D and i have been watching alot of comparison video about R6, R7, R10, sony A7IV etc. Buy i guess i am going to buy R7 after watching many of your video. The auto-focus seems the best now even comparing to R5, the 4K 60p Clog3 which i needed , and actually the higher pixel even its APS-C. with watching your video about the speedbooster 0.71x, i guess this would be the last puzzle for me to fix the issue about the FF matter. I came up with the conclusion to buy R7 with 0.71x speedbooster would be the best option to me. Thanks for your video, I learnt much from you about the optical knowledge and the application of different camera & lenses. Keep up the good work ! Gave you my subscription, you deserve it!

The limited lens options really hurt this system. I have an R7 with 18-150mm, a 10-18mm efs, and 24-105 ef. When using the ef glass and adapters people need to be mindful the stabilization benefits are not even close to what you get with rf lenses. That's to be expected but it is very different for video. Also I can't get past the way better lens options I have for my Sony a6600. I still use it for all my wedding videos. It has way lesser IBIS quality, lesser video codecs, but it still functions better for event shooting due to way better lens options. I barely use my r7 at weddings. I do like the image though

I would actually say that the R7's autofocus is much better than the r5 as you can see here where the r5 is nearly a second behind the r7 2:29

I could tell which was which via picture but video definitely seemed nearly identical, I’m still on the fence which direction to go, this was a great video, very informative:)

Can you test the rolling shutter performance when shooting fast moving objects like cars, running people, planes? and see if the jello effect is pronounced when vlogging hand held, or even just panning a but faster than the average person would?

I think what we are finding, with video, is the way the camera processes the image is the most important thing. So different from photos.

Fantastic comparison Josh!

Really nice comparison. Just got my R7 as a B-Cam for my R5 two weeks back, pretty happy so far. Depending on your use case, one big difference is how they handle external recording. The R7 (like the R6) cannot record internally and externally at the same time... which is a real shame. On my R5 I often times record 8k Raw internally which is output to my Atomos Ninja V as 4k Fine (with HDMI Raw disabled). So I got a nice, easy to handle ProRes Proxy to work with. Also something to consider if you need redundancy, which is not easily possible with external recorders on the R7.

R7+speedbooser vs R6 vs R5 for professional video and photo/wedding? would be a nice test.

i currently have had a Canon 80D for a long time and have been depsertley researching for months on different full frame cameras for both high quality photography along with stunningly crisp Video for a number of scenarios. I have been buying alot of Sigma Lenses that are EF mount which sucks because the cameras that are obviously better are ones like the Sony A7siii, Sony A7R V, Canon R5 (What I am most leaning towards) which all have different mounts that I would buy adapters to fit my current lenses. I have been debating for so long but deserve an upgrade in quality from what I currently use. Any recomendations on any cameras I did not mention or any I did mention! Do you think the R5 would be perfect for me? I would really appreciate any suggestions from people who have used many different cameras and would like to help me buy the perfect one!

You didn’t mention it, so I’m not sure if it has it, but the R5 has video presets. Makes jumping between different video settings incredibly easy, it’s why I went with the R5 over the R6. It’s one of those small things that makes a big difference

Another incredibly useful video, thank you!! I have to say, I actually kind of preferred the image of the R7 over the R5 in a couple of cases... And since I've been using my EOS R with the Viltrox speed booster anyway, I'm completely comfortable with that option on the R7. VERY interesting!

Great review! My biggest interest is about dynamic range and color grade reliability in terms of color banding cause I need a B cam for underwater shooting exclusively. I own a Komodo X UW right and I’m not whiling to buy a second system for thousands of dollars. So the R7 is definitely my first option

Can you post an affiliate link with just the R7 body? This was an excellent video showing such a great comparison of the two. I'd like to make sure you get your slice but it looks like you only have the R7 withkit lens linked.

During your intro and when you were doing the focus test it was easy to pick out the r5. I can tell the difference with a crop sensor when it comes to the quality of the bokeh. Assuming you were using the same lens.

Hey Josh, how likely do you think it is that the R6 will get the same overheating updates that the R5 got? If it does, it feels like it would be impossible to choose between these three cameras. Thanks, keep up the great work!

Hi Josh, thanks for this another great video about the R7. I'm waiting for mine and your videos are full of inspiration... greetings from Belgium ;-)

Great camera the R7. Thank you for the video. Saludos Amigo. gracias👍🏻📸🏝🌋🌴🌊☀️

Josh, great review as always! I have a question for you, how much use do you get out of the Calibrite ColorChecker Passport Video card? Are you primarily just using the gray card included with it or do you make more use of it overall. Trying to decide whether to buy the Calibrite ColorChecker Passport Video or just a gray card. Thanks again for all your efforts!

Subbed! Thank you Josh. More review vids and sample footage from these new RF canon cameras please :) Would you do Clog post-workflow and grading/luts/presets at some point as well? Premiere?

I would be happy to see a low light test of R5 vs R7 with a speedbooster (with the same ef glass). If there is a video like this somewhere, I'd love to see it.

Maybe I am missing something but I noticed you can customize the Q menu on the R7, but not on the R5. Is that right?

Hi Josh, may I know if canon R7 can record to both card slot with 4k resolution ( creating a backup recording) thanks

IDK aboot video, but the stills are definitely different. The color of the R5 is slightly richer to my eyes. I have both and love both, but use them for totally different purposes.

I really want to love this camera. I can live with the lack of 4K 60 fine mode. But for me they basically killed it by turning off the LED screen when outputting HDMI. It just severely limits it’s utility.

i say this again Really wishing this came out same time as the R6 as i would have picked this up and bough more glass Still happy with the R6 though! excellent review, any chance of giving the R10 a spotlight for people strapped for cash??

Thank you man for all the amazing job you do in your video!

Hi Josh, great video once again. I have been shooting with the 80d and SL2 for some years and am looking to upgrade into the R7. If I shoot only in 1080p, is the image quality A LOT better in the R7 or am I only going to notice the difference when shooting 4k?

I really want to see you reviewing the canon r7 with the sigma 50mm f1.4 art .. for portrait and b roll ♥️

Thank you for such a detailed review! Keep it up!

can you put canon speed booster on the r7 to get more the full frame look with ef lenses ?

16:50 I'm not looking for an extra body myself but the detectives in my basement are.

Thank you for sharing the comparision, planning to buy the R7, mostly I shoot 4k 60 fps, Requires more wide angle shots, want to use my existing ef-s 10-18 wide angle lens on R7 with adapter. But in some documentation I had read R7 disables 4k 60 fps mode with ef-s lens attached. Is it true. Not had time to have a hands on R7..

Thank you Josh, this video contains some very useful information!

I did get it right. there was more details in the beard but it was really close.

Thanks man, you deserve more subs!

Excellent presentation. Thanks. Subscribed.

Excellent review. Thank you!

Super video with so much comparison

The RFS 18 - 150 mm is quite sharp tbh. Is it cutting edge - no!

I feel like canon should do a update on th3 canon r5 and give us more codec flavors for videos and another clog that you could push a little bit of dynamic range so that the r5 remain relevant.

Thanks for the video! Super helpful. Just wanted to ask though, are you sure the base ISO for the R7 is 800? I've heard that the base ISO for Clog 3 is 800, but the base ISO for the R7 sensor is actually different. Is that a thing?

Great Video love your work New sub

Thank you veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy much =) I'm loving the R7 videos =)

I am using an SL2 and T5 as B Roll, for video of church bible study. I am considering a new camera. Would this R7 be a good option? It really looks good to me.

These are amazing videos on video! Has anyone seen the same comparison for stills shooting? I’d love to see how they compare

Ohh man there are 2 completely different tools One r7 is more focused on doc filming, another R5 full frame much more focused on "art " filming . It seems that r7 has all needed canon benefits C log 3 . What I would like to see extra waveform and nd filters 🙂

Hello, I am a Videographer from Paraguay. Can you make a video where you test the R7 IBIS with sigma 18-35 in video mode?

I honestly never liked 60fps for video. So I'll probably never use it on my 90D or my R7. I do like the 120fps slow mo video. I only shoot most of my video in 24 or 30fps anyways.

You are great man! One day you will have millions of subscriber,that's for sure. Should I Buy R7 or Sony ZVE10 or XT4?Can you help me?

A little confused! Isn’t the 4k from the R7 cropped compared to that from the r5 (4khq) or are you using the 5.1k cropped mode 4k from the r5?

DCI 4K is what I love using.

How about r5 vs. r8? 👀

Is compatible with rf 100-500?

Now that they've fixed overheat on R5 they just need to remove 30 min record limit and it will the grail camera! It's an absolute beast. I never need to record longer than maybe 10 minutes at a time so I have zero complaints.

Man maybe I get an R7, but that being said - I have ZERO regrets getting the R5. It’s the best camera I’ve ever owned. I got it as a photo camera first and video second and it’s worked brilliantly for it. Thanks for the awesome video Josh!

Do u like R7 more then R8? why?

Could tell by highlights

Hi man, Can I record movies in 2 slots on canon r7 ?

I always look at bokeh first when two cameras are put side to side😂

The R5 was easily identifiable as having better IQ even with youtube compression, but I agree that they're close enough "for most people." Now I hate it when people say that ("for most people"), because for anybody who wants the best IQ -- whether you need it or not -- you know who you are, and you (hopefully) know it's a classic case of diminishing returns to chase that last 5-10% percent. Of course, the elephant in the room is these are hybrid cameras, so many buyers want stills too, and R5 gives you your money's worth over the R7.

Did you use the same lenses?

This just makes me want to drop my R6 and pick up an R7 for video lol

The R6 continues to be the 4k 60 beast.

you can buy a r6 and r7 for same price of r5

Ordered my R7 May 24 body only still waiting LOL

It's also worth mentioning that buying an 8K camera assumes an 8K monitor and possibly a more powerful computer

Opening scene. R5 is far cleaner

No way the r7 AF is faster lmao

Just use speed booster 0.71 and problem solved :)

Kind of comparing apples to oranges. $3800.00 FF camera to $1500.00 APS C.

SONY ON TOP!
