My NEW film simulation presets are 40% off! theartofphotography.tv/presets/
I've been shooting on the Canon EOS R7 for about a month. I think its probably my favorite option for an APS-C camera on the market right now. Canon have really done a nice job on this. The Sony a6600 and Fujifilm X-T4 are really nice options as well, but I think when you factor in the features vs price point - the R7 is tough to beat.

If you want to evaluate camera performance, do not use Lightroom (Adobe ACR) to open the raw files. I made that mistake years ago with the Canon 90D. Lightroom did a very poor job compared with using the free Canon DPP4 software to open and convert raw files. DPP4 does a great job. Colors and contrast will be good. Also lens corrections, default noise reduction and diffraction correction will be superior.

You are correct, but DPP is a huge annoying pain in the butt to use, whereas Lightroom is super easy and fast and intuitive. I am not willing to take 8 minutes to do something that could be done in 6 minutes elsewhere, and I think 90% or more of photographers are with me on that. I just wish that Canon would invest more in making the DPP user interface super easy and fast.

Got my R7 last week with the 18-150mm kit lens. Started trying out my EF and EF-S lenses, which all have image stabilization, and was spooked by the absence of the menu option for stabilization with them, while that option is there with the kit lens. So I searched the pdf manual for "stabilization" and found that that option is only displayed if the lens doesn't have an IS on/off switch. Yes, the R7 does use their IS together with its own IBIS - they just figured that an onscreen switch was unnecessary.

I really enjoyed this review, Ted is a good presenter and gave a fair and balanced review. I'm retired now from commercial photography after 40 years but still take a lot of pictures and have been a Canon digital owner since the 10D. I moved from the Canon 5Ds to the R when it debuted and for portraits, landscapes and general travel love it. I have been waiting for a mirrorless upgrade for my 7 year old 7D MkII and am planning to buy the R7 when they are back in stock. I'm disappointed not to have a battery grip as I like that with my big hands but also for long telephotos, just feels better but change is good sometimes. You have to weigh the pros and cons. Had to smile when Ted mentioned all the small sized Canon primes he has as I own them as well and really love them.

Nearly a year and I've been building my RF lens collection. Now that I have the 16mm f/2, the 24mm f/1.8, the 50mm f/1.8, and the 85mm f/2, I sprang for the 70-200 f/4 L and that one is amazing, if significantly larger and heavier than the others. (Haven't used the kit lens in a long time!) Covered the apartment complex's NoTalent Show entirely with the 24mm and discovered that I could "zoom" in my editing program by cropping and got shots with the angle of view of a 135mm lens on a full-frame camera that looked very nice. Amazing how good a 4 Megapixel crop from a RAW file can look!

I also have the kit 18-135, efs wide 10-18, ef 50 1.8. I'm looking for an upgrade but not planning to sell any of my gear as I can covert and use and also use a backup cam. Should I get the r7? I really like how fast it is and just how similar it feels ergonomically to my 750d. I'm really leaning towards the r7 coz of the price and AF. other stuff that I would really use is auto level and stabilisation, clog, dual card slots. Should I get it with the kit 18-150 with the r7? Or should I use that money instead and get body only? I can convert my 18-135 using an adapter, but I'm not sure if this will limit my AF and AF speed. Should I buy a speed booster? just yeah should I?

Hi, thanks. Your reviews are so good, especially in the way you cut through to the main points. I bought a Fuji XT5 the day it appeared in Ireland, and while I like the camera, I find the tracking autofocus is giving me a lot of blurry pictures, like when I tried to photograph rowing on the Liffey a few days ago! I tend to go for APSC cameras rather than full frame. I like compactness and I like the additional reach they give me. Looking for something that feels good in the hand and has state-of-the-art autofocus, is there any sense in me trading in for the R7? I know it means getting new lenses, but I will continue to use the Fuji system for some of my photography (I have an XT30, which has better autofocus than than XT5).

As always a very engaging presentation! I agree that, at the price point, the R7 is great value for money. That said, I wish that they had called it the R70 or some such for two reasons: Canon in my area have told me it is really a replacement for the 90D, which was not a replacement for the 7DII. Giving it a different name would leave me to live in hope of a 7DII replacement as a R7. I say this as a wildlife photographer who wants to be able to have a pro-level body that offers a high-end sensor which takes advantage of the crop effect for telephoto work. There are a bunch of things missing to make this a true inheritor of the tile: Inferior weather sealing - pros can't just pack up and go home if the weather turns to custard. BSI/Stacked sensor - this is significant as it creates a choke point in terms of the data path. It would make the camera much more able to handle high-speed e-shutter without choking and reduce sensor creep. A bigger buffer to allow one to shoot for more than about 1.2 sec at 30FPS in RAW. Using CF-Express type 1 cards that offer high speed performance, yet are backwardly compatible to SD cards A battery grip - for greater capacity, the portrait controls and to balance heavier tele lenses I am on the fence as regards the new location of the control wheel, but if one is using this as a second unit, it could be a bit disconcerting. So, again, this is a great camera at its price point and for its intended market, but I would have paid for a true 7DII replacement - I shall live in hope...

I want to love the RF 50 more, but my Tamron SP 45 still produces such good results I'll deal with the weight of it when I must.

Hi Ted, I've been thinking about this camera vs full frame, I think full frame is what I should aim for for various reasons, but I'm still a bit confused about the difference between APS-C and full frame. Is it mainly that the image is cropped in APS-C and that full frame can take better photos in low light conditions?

@The_NSeven Жыл бұрын

Basically yeah. So a 50mm on APS-C will have the equivalent field of view as a 80mm on a full frame, as 50*1.6=80. But it's the same for the aperture. APS-C adds a stop of light to the f number, so a f2 on APS-C is equivalent to a f2.8 on full frame. By this logic, APS-C cameras are simply not able to capture as much light as full frame, so yes, they will be worse in low light situations.

Comparing my A7C and 200-600 to the R7 with 100-400 is laughable. The Sony is well over double the weight. However at the wide end there isn't a lot of great choice for Canon APS-C. The lovely Tamron 17-28 is around the same size as the 10-18 adapted. It's crazy. You certainly need to look at what your subjects typically are and how much you value other aspects such as ergonomics versus absolute image quality.

@@DarrylUK The ergonomics is subjective, pure numbers say R7/10, A7C and A6400/6600 almost identical except for Sony being on the light side (and I personally prefer weight saving) I really want to see a professional comparison of Canon R7/10 AF with Sony a6400/a7iii. I hope Canon will be better and it will push Sony 🙂 But the author of this video gives the edge to the Sony for example, unfortunately without any objective explanation. For the long focal length a6400 + 70-350 is even more compact with less then 1kg total weight comparing to 2kg of R7 with 100-400. And I'd really like to see how much stops of stab R7 can produce to push Sony once again 🙂 And for anybody like me who also loves to shoot at ultra wide while traveling there is just no alternative to a6400 + 11mm F1.8 with less then 600 gram system for 1500 USD new. Honestly I expected more from R7/10 but even so Canon can push Sony to make new and better APS-C.

@@nicklysko5245 some good points, I would just point out though that the RF100-400 is only 635g and the R7 612g with card and battery. So 1,247g for the pair for 640MM reach VS 525MM on the Sony. The 6400 plus 70-350 is 625g plus 403g, so just over 1kg. The Sony a6600 is another 100g heavier.

Excellent review! Just a suggestion on your "bundled offerings", you should provide some price incentive to your followers. As is the price of buying your presets packages individually x 2 is exactly the same cost of buying 1 bundled package, there is no incentive to buy the bundle upfront. Maybe individual preset package = $29.95 and Bundle = $49.95?

My hand fits in the grip better than it does in the R5 (with the 5 my pinky finger would end up under the camera so I got a BG for it). That issue isn’t happening for me with the 7

The R7 has complimented my R6 very well. I ended up picking up the tascam XLR adapter that connects directly to the electronic communication in the hotshoe. WOW...that alone made this the closest to a quality cinema camera in this price range. The tests I've done on my channel make it a hard choice for some between this and the R6. Thanks for the review.

@CesareFerrari667 Жыл бұрын

In my opinion it is overall a better camera! The only issue is glass - at this point rf mount only has goog lenses for full frame sensors, leaving aps-c lenses behind. Currently I am working with R7 and rf lenses, despite the crop factor. The game is working, image quality is a game changer. We only have to forget about focal length accuracy

@shaunotter Жыл бұрын

The R6 is superior for low light image quality, that’s perhaps the most significant difference, followed perhaps with the ability to best utilize L series lenses (wide ones especially).

I got my R7 last week and have been testing with my Tamron 45 1.8, Tamron 100-400, Canon L lenses, and my two Sigma lenses: 17-70 2.8-4 and 8-16 4.5-5.6. The Sigmas both seemed to work as well as they did on my 80D (the 8-16 is an older Sigma design, I believe from about 2010-2011). I haven’t fully tested the eye AF performance on the two Sigmas, but I’m not expecting issues especially with the 17-70 since the two Tamrons had no real issues…surprising given that I could never fine-tune the Tamron 45 well enough on my 80D. I haven’t updated any of the Sigma/Tamron lenses with their docks. Not exactly the 18-35, but I believe that’s a more recent design anyway, and I’m pleasantly surprised the Tamron/Sigmas work as well as they do. I’m using the control ring adapter. Hope that helps.

The 16mm is actually f2.8 does that mean the Fstop is actually F4.5 or because its a fullframe lens it remains at F2.8

@noelchignell1048 Жыл бұрын

It's still f/2.8 whatever sensor you put behind it and the exposure will be the same although a bigger sensor will generally be better in low light

@noelchignell1048 Жыл бұрын

@@markshirley01 not really the f/stop is a mathematical formula of the focal length divided by the entrance pupil diameter eg my EF400mm f/2.8 has an entrance pupil of 143mm i.e. 400/2.8 = 143 Doesn't matter whether it's mounted on my aps-c 7Dii or a full frame camera. Of course although the f/stop and exposure is the same the resulting images will be different as will the field of view. Also the sensor size doesn't affect the focal length either just the fov because a crop sensor is effectively cropping the image by gathering a much smaller area of the image circle. In the same way the crop sensor is cropping in camera so the amount of light gathered is much less eg a 1.6x crop sensor has only 40% of the area of a 35mm full frame so it's only gathering 40% of the light but that doesn't change the f stop ratio in any way.

This camera seems great. As someone who is tempted by the cheap RF mount cameras like the EOS R and RP, but is disappointed by their lack of IBIS and solid video features I might just have to go for the R7. It isn't full frame which is unfortune - I'd love to use lenses like the 50mm f1.2 RF, and there isn't a APS-C equivalent at the moment. Otherwise this camera is close to perfect, I'd love to have one.
