In this video I try out the new Canon EOS R7 - one of Canon’s two new RF APS-C mount cameras. I wanted to put the camera to the test, using it for portrait photography with Canon’s full frame RF prime lenses. I also compare the image quality to the R6 with the same lenses, as well as take a look at the video quality against the R7 and C70.
Update - APSC crop is actually 1.6, not 1.5 like I mentioned in the video.

maybe I missed it, but it's worth articulating that the reason the R7 is softer compared to the R6 is not a direct consequence of the sensor size, but the sensor size in conjunction with the lens. The R6 takes full advantage of the lens, whereas the R7 only captures a portion of it, effectively zooming in and getting a softer image as a result. It would've been good to try it with a lens designed for crop sensors such as the Sigma 18-35.

@morelivethanyou 6 ай бұрын

Is this why when I use the 35 mm 1.8 on my Canon RP and my Canon r7 and I must admit I love it better on the Canon RP. But when I put my sigma 18 to 35 onto my Canon r7 or my sigma 50 to 100 1.8 sigma on my r7 which is a crop sensor lens. The photos look amazing. I even tried this with the ef70 to 200 and it looks significantly better on a Canon RP, but I usually only use the 70-200 on r7 for wildlife

I don't see how 'zooming in' with a full frame lens on a crop sensor camera like the R7 is why supposedly the image is softer. Using only part of the lens with a ff lens on a crop sensor takes the aberration and vignetting at the edges out of play.

@@JamesReader No worries. I'm currently a Fuji XH2S shooter, I was curious about other APS-C offerings from the big major three, I came to look at Canon (R7) and yours was one of the few videos to showcase what I thought was gonna be the biggest problem... dedicated APS-C lenses (to which they are few and far between). And even if you're crazy enough to throw money down the drain and buy FF lenses and use on APS-C... it's not a great result. Incompatible imo. It looks to being similar issues with Fuji's 40mp sensor, some of the older lenses Fuji have stated are not really gonna show a benefit at all on the newer sensor. Sure you can use it, but will you appreciate a perceptible boost in resolution and detail (with these lenses that don't make the list/cut), prolly not... So buy lenses that make the list if choosing the newer sensor as they will have been designed as such to take advantage of this. I'm left very perplexed at Canon (R7), I don't really understand why it exists. They closed the mount off to 3rd party and the only RF-S lenses that exist are kinda bland travel lenses (which don't line up with the ethos of the camera), where are the fast RF-S Primes? I can get a XF56/1.2 for $1400, small, sharp and light, but I have to pay 3x more for a FF behemoth that won't even work that well?! What are Canon doing...? Close the mount, fine. But get cracking on the development side. I would already own a R7 if there were decent priced 23, 33 and 56mm RF-S primes available... 🤔

It would have been more useful to apply the crop factor to the aperture as well to get the same depth of field and look. For example 50mm on the R7 should compare at F1.2 with f2.0 on the 85mm on FF. That will give you an equivalency to do a fair comparison. Then, If you want to contrast them and show the advantage of FF, let the 85 stretch it’s legs at a wider aperture.

@DavidRehner Жыл бұрын

I wonder if the 35mm F/1.8's resolving power is diffraction-limited on a camera with the pixel density of the R7. 32.5MP on APS-C yields a ridiculously-tiny pixel pitch... Would be interesting to compare the 32.5MP images scaled down to the equivalent 20MP of the R6. I am guessing they would appear similarly-sharp (though I could be wrong).

@rudolfmanke6478 Жыл бұрын

Even if many users are so much fan of the r7, i made the same experience than you did. Most of my Photos i take with the R5 and RF 24-70 2.8 and i thought the R7 would be a good Backup with the benefit of 1.6 crop and 32 MP. My wife bought the R10 and i was impressed about autofocus and sharpness of this small little camera. The more i was disapointed when my R7 arrived and we made the first portrait shoots. None of the pictures where really sharp. Zooming to the eyes by 100% showed a very soft image, so i made endless tests to find the error. I tried high shutter speeds, tried shots from tripod without stabiliser, always the same result. If someone thinks the comparison with the R5 is unfair, i did exactly the same tests against the R6 which i also own. Same results, the R6 shows a crispy sharp image with more details than the R7 even the R10 showed better results. I think i will send this body to canon service just to see if i did get a bad sample. If the quality consists on this level that i see and canon says that this is normal the R7 and i will go separate ways again.

@@JamesReader The camera is just back from canon with the answer that there was no error found. I tested it again with portraits and, you won`t believe it, the autofocus works fine, the pictures are sharp. self-healing by mail or ist there something canon does not like to talk about? One thing i wonder about is that most youtubers use lightroom for RAW development. This is in my experience the worst choice for canon bodies, in particular when they are new. To get the best results out of a raw with low or normal ISO take capture one and you think you have a new and much better camera, for high iso DXO is best choice. Everything else you can do with lightroom and photoshop, but don´t use them to develop raws. For low budget work the free DPP4 is very slow but also much better than Adobe. The downside are the filesizes, a 16bit comes easily to 200MB or more. Quality has it's price.

I actually just tested these two against each other using a few lens charts. The RF 24mm 1.8 is a bit sharper wide open than the 15-35 at 24mm. At 2.8 it’s much sharper. You’ll get a bit more reach with the 15-35, but it’s not the strongest lens at 35mm and the flaws are exaggerated on the R7. I’ve found the 24mm to be one of the best wide angle lenses in terms of image quality on the R7, I feel Canon intentionally made the centre very strong so it performs well on the R7.

The RF APS-C cameras will be pointless for the most part until Canon puts out some purpose-built APS-C lenses that are fast, sharp, solid, compact, and a tad cheaper...the reasons to have a smaller sensor to begin with. I'm a fan of APS-C and MFT, but if you're stuck with only bulky full frame lenses on the mount then there's not really any point outside of exclusively needing the crop factor (Canon's is 1.6 compared to most other APS-C at 1.5). There needs to be an RF equivalent of at least the EF-M 32/1.4, 22/2, and the Sigma 56/1.4...which could have been handled by Sigma if Canon didn't ban third party lenses on RF. It's almost like they don't want the APS-C gap in lenses filled, weird. Nikon didn't ban third party, but with the Z50/fc both being a bit outdated (my D500 from 2016 isn't far off) on launch you're left with Fujifilm for a strong APS-C option (Sony exists but for the most part is the same "here's a couple overpriced APS-C lenses, buy full frame lenses and then buy a full frame body" logic, they just have the bonus of third party helping out) but they charge high knowing the cult will pay and even before the pandemic couldn't/wouldn't produce enough cameras to keep shops from being permanently out of stock or so short on stock they charged markups (including Fuji themselves charging as high as 2400 I saw for an X100V on their store for a 1200 msrp camera, talk about bs). I'm content with my GX85, GX8, and EM1.2 for MFT along with my M5 and A6500 for APS-C. The PanaLeica and Olympus lenses are great for MFT, the lenses listed prior for EF-M are solid with the M5/M50 (ii) or M6 (ii), and there's enough options with the A6500 that also has IBIS to make a great APS-C camera for a lot less than the R7. Shame, I quite like everything about the R7, it's just the BS approach to the RF platform that Canon has taken will probably kill the APS-C options.

In my opinion, this video was one of the best R7 reviews on the internet I agree 100% with all your comments and you did a great job Especially in the photo section Disappointing noise performance has made this camera useless for many people On paper R7 looks extremely powerful But in the real world Even Old Eos R or Rp is a better camera in many ways

What I noticed was focus blur and not missed focus. Shooting APS-C sensors with compact small photosites requires a very steady hand or tripod because any slight jerk of camera will cause the pixels to blur. With all of my bodies, its almost without fail that you have to shoot the APS-C counterpart to FF at higher shutter speeds to avoid this phenomenon.

Thank you for watching! It’s not necessarily that the R7 is better for video than stills, it’s just that if your focus is still photography I think your money is better spent on the EOS R or RP.

@@JamesReader if i may, the real best bang for buck is actually, IMHO of course 🙂 the M6 Mark II, which coupled with EF adapter (and why not, even a speedbooster) features uncropped full sensor 4k video with DPAF; It's the only M camera to do it, and i think it was the first Canon camera ever, Cinema line excluded, to have an uncropped sensor 4k AND the Dual Pixel AF with eye tracking enabled in 4k. I don't think it so inferior (if inferior at all) to the R10 (the former has also a richer mpx sensor) or even to the R7, pixel peeping of course some difference can be found, but reproducing on a screen i'm sure there's no visible difference. And an M6 Mark II cost around 600€ used, which is around 40% less then an R10, and less then half of an R7.

The R7 can be more demanding on lenses, but there are many factors that come into play when looking at shallow DOF lenses. But also, I find, that just pixel peeping is not actually accurate. Take the R7 Raw image and downsample it with a good algorithm to 24mpx and then process and sharpen it. If you now pixel peep between the two images for the FF and the CF you will have a different opinion.

The problem with full frame lenses on crop sensors is always the same. Lenses are designed and calibrated for the sensor size they're intended for. This means any flaws in the lens are going to be exacerbated because of the crop. Any softness in the lens will be more apparent.
