That autofocus pumping in the background on the vlogging sequence was Panasonish!
Yes! It was bloody awful, unusable IMO. I don't think it was focus hunting, but in fact the sides / corners getting further / closer to the sensor and thus changing how blurred the background is. It is SO warpy it made me feel seasick.
@@mattdebyl8806 You can check other reviews where they test this and it doesn't appear to do it. Maybe he had it in a weird AF mode... Honestly, this review seems very throw away. It didn't seem in depth like the others at all. He didn't go over how amazing the IBIS + Lens IS is.. Taking 640mm still on the RF 100-400 hand held at 1/50 and it being sharp is pretty damn impressive. Nor did he go into tracking birds, which is basically what this camera was designed for. Dunno, just seemed kind of sloppily put together.
Panasonish...that's a great description and a new word!
Love this review. It's very interesting to have a video covering mainly the real limits of the camera instead of the usual very entertaining but slightly shallow reviews. Go Jordan!
including the resolution w x l pixels is really helpful, wished it's all in every screen information not only the total amount.
Agree 100%!
number of dots is such a weird way to represent resolution
Eventually and sadly, third parties will give in. For instance tamron 28-75 was rebranded into a nikkor 28-75 with identical optical formula
Computer monitors have always used dot and dot-pitch along with resolution... Pixels are not dots; resolution is not dots.
I love the part where Jordan said 'phase detect autofocus' and the camera goes out-of-focus for that second!
yeah that vlogging test proved how bad it actually is
@@_rhapsodist Unless, of course, you have less than no interest in vlogging!
I love when Jordan gets to do video's, he's great. Plus I appreciate Chris more when he's comes back, by far this is the the best camera show on RUclips.
autofocus in that vlog segment was so bad - what was going on there?
Yeah....those were Panasonic levels of pulsation going on. Erk... :S
Yeah, and it looks wobbly (is it rolling shutter or the image stabilization?).
Was just going to comment on that too. Looks absolutely useless. So disturbing.
@@WalterWhiteFromTheBlock other reviewers have noted that the rolling shutter on the R7 is much worse than the rolling shutter on the R6 and A7IV
Good to see Jordan doing a full review
Thanks Jordan, Yes I found in my review on my channel, the Canon lens availability really lets the camera down. And also no new third-party glass available for it it is shocking. It had mixed results with my older canon glass. The 18-150 kit performed better than expected though. Here is hoping some new RFS glass comes out and doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
Oh, and good job presenting the review Jordan!!
The real problem is canon will eventually give us apsc lenses. However they will be f4-5.6 and nothing like the sigma 1.4-1.8’s & that’s a shame. Open the mount to 3rd parties canon
What is this based on? They have produced fast lenses for both their EF crop sensor as well as their EFM series.
@@jonesphotography5257 this is rf mount,but for apsc,so using full frame glass doesn't make much Sense,and efm glass cant be mounted natively any more either
@@jonesphotography5257 most people feel that the EF-M mount was barely developed. There are two fast primes the 22mm f2 and the 3m f1.4. He is saying the RF-S lenses might take a while to come out and all the zooms will likely to be slow which both of those will follow the EF-M mounts history. Rumor is that many of the RF-S lenses will be repackaged EF-M lenses just like the 18-150mm is.
You wish they were F5.6. F6.3 is the new APSC standard for Nikon and Canon.
Unless you mean primes, in which case we're probably looking at small F2 and F2.8 FF lenses that can also be used on APSC, like Nikon's abominations.
Canon never "opened" the EF mount to 3rd party lens makers, yet those manufacturers still managed to make a ton of lenses for it. How? They reverse engineered it.
No doubt the 3rd party lens makers will do the same with the RF mount. In fact, two already have. Both Viltrox and Yongnuo have intro'd autofocus lenses for Canon R-series cameras. If they can do it, so can Sigma, Tamron, Tokina and all the rest.
Patience, grasshopper. 😎
Looks nice given the price. I did notice that during the "vlog" segment, the AF was hunting in a very Panasonic way. Other than that, it's a good camera.
Yes i noticed that too. Kept looking at the trees in the background.
from several videos it seems the autofocus for video needs to be updated massively. but it does well for photos.
It was terrible indeed.
Absolutely not (about Panasonic). Have you seen the S5 being used for vlogging? Even it doesn't hunt that much. If your face is in the shot and stays in a relatively same distance, it's actually good. Canon has zero excuse for not having perfect AF, at all. This isn't a new idea to them.
Yes, the AF was the worst I've ever seen. Not even old panasonics have worse AF than the R7 had during that vlogging segment. Worse than literally every other AF camera on the market.
Recent discovery - you *can* have three control dials active at once in the R7's Manual mode to control aperture, shutter speed and ISO simultaneously with the histogram live all the time. Here's how:
This setup relies on using the control ring on the lens as the third control dial, so on lenses like the R7's kit lens that use the control ring for focusing, you sacrifice manual focusing, but with lenses that have separate focus and control rings there's no sacrifice. That's any EF or EF-S lens with the EF to R Control Ring adapter, and any RF lens with both focus and control rings - like my Canon RF 100-400mm lens.
(Actually, other than the two RF-S kit lenses this isn't a problem, since most RF lenses have both rings, and the five that have only one have a switch on the lens to switch its use between Manual Focus and Control Ring.)
To set this up, go to page 6 of the AF tab in the settings screen and set the Focus/Control ring to Control rather than the default Focus setting.
Then go to page 3 of the Camera tab and in Customize Dials you set the three dials up however you like. Since I used a pre-EOS Canon FT-QL for nearly forty years before going digital, and thus I'm used to having an aperture ring on the lens, I set the Control ring on the lens to AV. Since I'm used to setting the shutter speed on the top of the camera, I set the Main Dial to TV, and I put ISO control on the Quick Control Ring around the joystick next to the viewfinder. (Film cameras changed the ISO by changing the film you were using!)
But you can assign those three functions between those three dials however you like.
PS If you frequently want to focus manually with a lens that has only one ring, you can set one of your Custom Settings up to use the Control Ring on the lens for focusing and use the other two control dials however you prefer.
You can also set the lens ring to toggle between control/focus. I set the DOF button to 'switch control ring'.
Do this with RF-s lenses.
Great job, Jordan! I haven't experienced any of the handling problems that you did. I actually kind of like the new dial-around joystick design. I love the case 2 tip and will be trying that soon when photographing birds in a thicket.
I just used my R7 with the RF70-200 at a professional tennis tournament. Crop sensor gave me great reach with that lens, and the results were outstanding. The auto focus system acquired focus almost instantaneously.
Thinking of getting this camera, which RF70-200? Canon RF 70-200/4L IS USM?
I have the 2.8 L lens
I just got one. It's absolutely brilliant.
Do you like the crop sensor?
Yes
Nice overview! Definitely a very tempting camera for the type of video I do. Too bad about the rolling shutter in oversampled video but at least they give the option of subsampling like what's in my current M6ii. I don't assume the current Sony APS-C do and they definitely have the same issue with oversampled 4k. Canon support had said it can record duplicate video to the two SD cards which seems like a very nice feature (Anyone with an R7 want to confirm that?). Also having in-camera h.265 HEVC is appealing for smaller video files.
Fuji x-t2, fewer mp but better performance and a better lens lineup.
@@kaneclements7761 I've used a few. Not a fan of the video AF performance with the ones I had for my use case. The X-T4 is the one with a fully articulating screen which is useful for self-filming. It's true that the RF mount is lacking big time in lens options. Though off hand I don't know what Fujifilm lenses are optimized for video AF. Probably only the more recent lenses.
Hi guys, thank you for your reviews of the R7 and 10. I'm confused as to why you (or any other reviewer I've watched or read) don't mention that the R10 has an in-built flash while the R7 doesn't. My partner and I regularly use the in-built flashes on our cameras (EOS 50D with a 70-300mm lens and a Panasonic FZ300) to fill in lighting or darken backgrounds for macro photography. I understand that a separate, dedicated flash will be vastly superior in a lot of ways, but not in convenience. An in-built flash is always available, you don't have to remember to bring it or spend time attaching it, possibly missing your shot. Why is so little (i.e. no) attention given to such a handy feature on the camera, and, for that matter, why do you think Canon decided to leave it off the R7, while it looks like there is ample space to install one? Our ideal here would be the R7 with an in-built flash... Canon, are you listening???? Cheers, Marco.
Question on the lens lineup. Do the RF lens work with this camera? The comments about having to use an adaptor for EF lenses makes sense, but was the issue with RF lens mainly the price?
Geez, the camera really struggled with autofocus on the vlogging section. How is the rolling shutter compared to the a6300/6500/6400/6600?
I wonder if there will be an RF-mount version of the old EF-S 17-55mm 2.8 IS lens.
I just ordered an R7. Have plenty of RF glass since I have two R5s, I mostly want it for wildlife and other shots where the full frame just doesn't provide enough reach.
What mic were you using for this video? Audio sounded different (more background noise) than usual, as far as I could tell. Also maybe somewhat less higher end in Jordan's voice in this video??? And as a side note for those people who might be interested in Vlogging, I think that getting the cheap and cheerful EF-S 10-18 STM IS and putting it on an adapter would be good. There was an awful lot of corner warping in the vlogging section that Jordan demonstrated and maybe using a lens with good IS like the EF-S 10-18 would help reduce it??? (Plus you get the wider field of view than the kit lens that comes with the R7). I adapt the Canon EF-S 10-18 on my Panasonic S-series cameras and that lens does reduce the corner warping significantly (as opposed to using JUST the camera's IBIS for stabilization with wide angle lenses).
Another great video! I personally find the colours in this video over saturated, I don’t know if that’s the particular lut that was used, a look of the R7 colours or just a grading choice. I greatly prefer greens and yellows to be on the slightly more muted side, though I sometimes find myself reducing these manually anyway.
I watched a review of the M6 ii vs the R7. I preferred the greens and yellows on the M6. The autofocus on the R7 is better, but I think I am happy with my M6 ii.
Hey guys, I'm wondering if it's possible to get some f-log2 sample footage when the final review for the X-H2S comes out. I know you don't usually do this, but I think a lot of people would love to play with those files on Davinci and see how this new profile performs
Thank you for sharing this. I'm really considering. I may have missed it but how was the battery life while taking stills and recording video?
The trick with the rear dial is to swipe it up and down, rather than try to swipe across and nudge the joystick.
Do you know how the autofocus performs with older EF mount lenses as opposed to the newer mirrorless lenses?
For an EF adapted lens test, that old 85mm 1.8 isn’t the best AF out there on wider apertures.
It’s best in very bright & contrasty lighting, especially in live view on the 90D and 1DX iii, but the CA on that lens gets more noticeable in those cases (I sold mine for that reason).
I’ve been using some EF / EF-S STM lenses, the EF 70-200mm 2.8 L v3 lens, and for giggles a 2003 28-75mm 2.8 Tamron, and I haven’t had any issues accurately nailing eye AF on the R7.
2 other notes:
- I tried my R7 with the 100-500mm RF
4.5-7.1 L and it is an Amazing combo.
- IBIS worked nicely with a pair of my old M42 adapted manual lenses (55mm 1.8 and 135mm 2.8)
my only fav lens is 70-200f2.8 v3. I don't know why but I like it even shooting on R5. the rf version feels amateurish because of the pumping mechanic
A terrible choice. There is some weird fascination with that lens from DPreview, with them using it in the image quality scenes even though the lens is 20+ years old, and suffers from UGLY purple fringing. Thats the ony 85 mm FF lens they could adapt? Nonsense. Its likely the only one they had on hand. There are several EF 85's and dpreview uses none of them for testing except this one. Its nuts.
@@simonmaduxx6777 was gonna same the same thing.
@@ricr.4669 Its very frustrating, sometimes i rant about it in their comments. I simply cant understand why this of all the lens they could use gets chosen.
I used to have that lens. It was great for what it was, until i discovered the ugliness of purple fringing and smearing that it does. Yet folks swear by it. What a crazy world lol
Thanks Jordan! I am curious to know what you don't like about the full frame RF glass (primes, for examples). They do offer pretty compact 16, 24, 35 and 50 primes, for example. Plus those will give us the option to continue using these lenses if we switch to full frame. Is there any decrease in performance or sharpness in using those with the R7?
He says it “it doesn’t make sense with apsc”
They’re fine they are just big and expensive. If you have or might have a full frame sibling then it makes a lot more sense.
@@steohara6353 Thanks 'Jordan'. I know what Jordan said about FF lenses in general, but there are cheap, compact (light weight) full frame primes in RF that might fit the bill, so I was curious about his opinions on those :)
Hi! Thanx for the review. Regarding your EF criticism: does that include the EF 100-400 II? Because that would really be a bummer......
Do you think there will be an update for output Prores Raw ?
what lens line up for a crop sensor would be consider complete offering? primes - 12mm/16mm / 24mm/35mm .... and Zoom Xmm-Xmm?
Great video 🙌🏽🙌🏽, I’m still confused 😕 even more ., I do sports and weddings ., I have an 7D2 and 90D ., I’m deciding R7 or R6? Your saying it’s not worth placing the RF lenses on the R7 because it’s a crop?
Very direct and to the point. This autofocus in video gives me no reason what so ever to give up my Lumix G9 or S5.
Fascinating review. They’re masters at talking positively about a camera while showing it’s flaws. The only thing missing is using the built in mic.
Never use any build in mic
No way I'd go back to crop, will wait for RP2, hopefully in the Autumn. Hanging on to my 6Dii in the meantime.
Build in mic , is worth to check as well . I used to many times used c100 MK2 build mic in camera , everytime glad for canon to add it in 2nd edition of c100
I always use a built in mic as scratch audio for syncing
About the video / on / off dial switch, can you customize this dial so that if you were to accidentally switch to video, you can specify a custom action, such as ‘power on’?
Hi
in your opinion, which is technically better for wedding photography? thanks
I totally agree with your on the new AF selection joy stick and exposure comp dial, it's super annoying and I really hate it. hope that's one time deal on the R7 but not the new style going forward, did you find the AF-On button also feels weird? really hope there will be a high end APS-C coming in the near future that's has a much better body ergo and control layout.
thank you for putting the actual EVF resolution, i think the measurement unit (dots) confuses a lot of people, maybe worth making a video on it?
Jordan, can you switch the video to left, photo to right and the off switch to the middle?
I bought the RP last year and now see the R7 as a really compelling replacement. As an entry level for full frame camera the RP is great given the price, but I think for my use cases the R7 might just be a little bit better.
Just waiting to see more RF-S lenses and I'll switch to it.
What are your uses cases? I'm searching for an used RP at good price and any information is good for me before the buy.
No need to get RF-S lens, the 15-30 or any ultra wide RF/EF will fulfill the wider end, the rest of the focal length, RF lens can do
I'm getting one. I have the RP also.
@@amermeleitor I bought the RP when I'm mostly do events, portraits, street, and landscape. For the first three it's great, really loving the skin tone from the jpeg, but pretty dreadful for landscape because the DR is the same as my old 60D. I don't know for sure if the R7 has better DR (I usually use DXOMark for reference, they haven't tested it), but from the sample images from DPReview, I'd say it is. Now I often shoot sports as well and the 4 fps (with continuous AF) in RP is.. not enough.
For video I'm kinda fed up with the 4K crop and dreadful rolling shutter, which is fine when I do interview-style vids, but for short films with some handheld scene, it's unacceptable. Idk, maybe I should've known better.
I would strongly suggest against the rp. Either an older 5D or jump to the R; and I'm pretty sure the R7 will have noticeably better DR
Question: at 1:15 you mention moving your autofocus point. I thought that this camera had both subject detect and eye detect AF ... so if it automatically focuses on your subject, why would you ever need to use or move or select an AF point?automatically focuses on the subject
For a wide prime, IE for vlogging, what about the RF 16mm? It's "affordable" and compact. Is 25mm equivalent not wide enough?
Chris nice job filming man !
La meilleure "review" internationale de cet appareil 😉👍
hope you guys can do a detailed comparison between the R7, a6600, fujifilm xt4 to crown the King of apsc at this price, really having a hard time deciding to get the xt4 or R7
Wait for Sony's next gen, coming shortly, then decide.
I just hope that the price is competitive towards the fujifilm and canon
Do ef-s lenses have a crop on the r7?For example the ef-s 10-18mm
You've not mentioned battery life. What's it like when shooting at a race track and how many shutters do you get per battery? Give or take
wobbly effects in vlog tests are a common issue for all new Canon cameras, it is very annoying and unacceptable.
Thanks to Jordan for this review.
@UCyQB6QGeCRgxc1QC_O5azUA Exactly
vlogs 🤢
@@Shrek_Has_Covid19 U know It's the number one trend right now! This video is a kinda vlog.
I want to know how well this autofocuses with the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 EF lens!
Thanks for the info!
Interestingly I have no problems with the mode dial or the new control ring- might be more a fault with the reviewer than the camera. The on/off switch and the AF/DOf switch on the other hand i personally have found to be a bit annoying. Coming from an optical viewfinder I am not sold on the electronic one yet. I feel underwhelmed by the sharpness of the 18-150 at the wide end hope they bring out some better quality options for the wide end. My EF primes 400 F5.6 & 600 F4 seem to work flawlessly am happy with the AF and sharpness.
Thanks so much! Finally an honest review pointing out some of the quirks which looked off from the get go. For me it's way out of my reach for now (having just switched from M50 to 7D2), but your thoughts already make it less worthy to aspire to in the future. And you still haven't touched some other drawback like appalling small buffer. I really start to wonder why Canon undercooked it so much having given it IBIS, AI AF and other fantastic features...
I have the M50 and 7D2 … love them both
@@ADivaForLife I only loved it until I got the 7D2, now I don't have much use for it at all. AF for bird photography is a hit and miss. I did manage to get a few good shots, but mostly contrasty birds against the blue sky etc. In the foliage, it would miss even bright red parrots. If I was shooting street or portraits more often, I'd probably keep it, but I'm selling the M50.
It is really a wonderful review and many aspects have been explained. I am presently using 7D ii + 100 - 400 mm ii + 1.4 iii extender (occasionally). With this combination, I feel out of camera photos are not so good beyond ISO 1600. Do you think, it will be a substantial upgrade if I switch over to R7 without changing the lens? Understand that autofocus will be much better with R7. However, my main concern is IQ at low light and subsequently high ISO performance. I am predominantly engaged in bird photography. Request for your comments please. Regards
Do you really think he will answer you? 😂😂😂.
Buy a Canon R5.
If possible rent it first.... if not, buy and take good care of it.... gave a good run testing it and sell it if it doesn't fulfill ur needs.
Great review, when I compare your Sensor video with this one, basically GH6 vs R7, I was surprised! Usually, Canon has this magic sauce with the picture detail thickness, but not this time. To my old laptop, your other video shot on GH6 looks better and less mushy with a more detailed picture. I was expecting the opposite, but this is the Canon Cripple hammer I guess. ! lol.
I'm getting one. It's better than my RP.
What do you think about speed-boosters for canon r7. I hear the canon has some purple fringing but the 2 viltrox s.boosters seem good? There aren’t any reviews for photo and none comparing the canon to the 2 viltrox. Now canon has good crop bodies but limited crop lenses. So it seems like a possible work around but I’d like to be sure before recommending to friends looking to get into photography. Reviews please? 🙏
Wow that vlog test was like watching my Lumix G9...but worse! How did they manage that with phase detect?!
They pick the worse clip possible, check out others, R7 video capabilities is great
You are correct that Canon needs to develop some additional RF-S lenses. They might have the means to do so quickly... Simply adapt some of their EF-M lenses.
Actually they might have done just that with the RF-S 18-150mm... It appears very similar to the EF-M 18-150mm.
Now if Canon would just do the same thing with the EF-M 11-22mm, EF-M 22mm, EF-M 28mm Macro and EF-M 32mm f/1.4. RF-S versions of each of those would answer a lot of immediate needs.
It would be great, too, if Sigma and Viltrox each came out with RF-S versions of their EF-M lenses. Especially the Sigma 16mm and 56mm, Viltrox 56mm. Sigma has yet to produce an autofocus lens for RF mount. But Viltrox has their full frame capable AF 85mm f/1.8 RF II.
Of course there are also already more than a few reasonably affordable full frame-capable Canon RF 24mm f/1.4 Macro IS STM ($599), RF 85mm f/2 Macro IS STM ($549), RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM ($499), RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM ($399), RF 16mm f/2.8 STM ($299), and 50mm f/1.8 STM ($179).
Finally, there are some fairly affordable full frame telephoto options too... Canon RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM ($599}, RF 600mm f/11 IS STM ($699) and RF 24-240mm f/4-6.3 IS USM ($799).
All those full frame lenses will work just as well on the APS-C cameras, as they do on full frame. Maybe even better, since the crop trims off the edges and corners where most affordable lenses are their weakest.
But, why oh why did Canon feel the need to mess with good, familiar control layout? The joystick in the middle of the E.C. dial was a concern to me and you have confirmed it can be a problem. I agree about the lock mechanism in the mode dual, too. For years we asked for that on the DSLRs before they finally implemented it (on the 6th or 7th gerneration?) Now they take a leap backward? Hello, Canon!
Dunno about the off/on/video switch, personally. So I'll take your word for it being another thing to gripe about.
The final thing that bugs me is that Canon could easily have made this camera compatible with the BG-R10 battery grip used by the R6 & R5. The footprint of the R7 is surprisingly close to the same as those full frame models. If they had dine that and upgraded the resolution of the EVF, I bet people would have gladly paid more. It would have been more of a mirrorless 7D Mk II, rather than the mirrorless 90D it seems to be. (Canon tried to tell us the 90D was the successor to both 80D and 7DII, too, didn't they?)
When the final review of X-H2S ?:)
Sony A1, EOS R3, Nikon Z9, etc. What is the next level/name/type of camera after this, what are they called?
I'm probably going to be getting mixed up with the power switch because I have the R and I change my ISO with the dial that's in the same position on the top right. I'll be curious to see how it plays with my Sigma lenses, I have a 50, and a 150-600 and I've been using them more than most of my RF lenses. I won't be getting any APS-C specific lenses, where I have a full frame, I want to make sure all my lenses work on both, so I think my best bet would be the 15-35mm. Although I really want to see how it works with the Sigma 50 as the bokeh is fantastic, and using the R body, the photos looked identical to Canon's RF 50 1.2, it's just that Sigma is 1.4 and heavier, but that's a small price to pay considering that price is basically half and I got mine used.
Does auto focus work in video for adapted lenses?
What I'm more interested about is the use of Canon 0.71x speedbooster and adapting EF glass.
Better to get a full frame camera rather than investing so much money on APSCs
Very nice review of the r7. Unfortunately for us in the UK canon has decided to provide it to the rest of the world before the UK. Looks like next year or even later, but thanks for the informative video.
Could be best for macro with built in focus bracketing and stacking plus IBIS and crop sensor.
Does anyone have an idea how it compares to the Canon M6 II imagequality-wise?
It´s the same sensor (well, apparently not), will it have the same dynamic range and so on?
As per the video, (4:59) there's not much of a different. But the new processor is better for jpeg. Even if it's the same sensor, the one in the M6 II & 90D is already a pretty good sensor for an APS-C, may be a little limiting at higher ISO but forgivable given how much pixels it has.
He mentioned this
Please explain how a camera that focuses with its imaging sensor - not separate focusing sensors in the base of the camera - can "back focus" because of the mount type of the lens.
This part of your review almost made me reconsider my body-only order for the R7 - which I would use with my EF and EF-S lenses - 3 of each, including the 18-135 nanoUSM EF-S.
But then I realized that since the camera is focusing the lens based on how sharp the image is on the imaging sensor, your review makes no sense in that regard.
The R7 in my bag with the 18-150mm, the rf100mm macro, and the rf100-400mm lens weigh 9.5 pounds. A fantastic lightweight kit that goes from a cropped 18mm out to 640mm.
2 questions for you
1. Is the evf really that bad?
2. Is it true that the mechanical shutter causes blurry photos at slow shutter speeds?
Isn’t that either 18-400mm or 29-640mm?
@@starbase218 I think the 18-150 is aspc included with the camera but the 100-400 is a full frame lens so you would multiple by 1.6
@@rickhenderson9028 That doesn’t matter though. A lens being APS-C or FF only relates to how big the image circle is that it throws. It doesn’t relate to the viewing angles.
E.g. a 50mm FF lens and a 50mm APS-C lens will yield the same viewing angles on an APS-C camera.
Compared to the Sony A7 IV is this better! Cos both are same priced in my country?
Jordan keep focus in video aspect of all camera on the market, it is nice to see your progress in presence, comoare to old days, 10years ago .
Have this camera for bit over 2 weeks, got used with tit works like a charm, it's amazing!
Please answer me this!!! I know CANON does not offer a battery grip but is the R7 capable of accepting a grip from a third party? I don't seem to find info anywhere!
Didn't watch the whole review, did they mention anything about the bad rolling shutter effects from this camera? I know we could turn on mech shutter but it's limited uses before needs repair.
nailed that intro
I’ve had good results Vlogging using the EFS 10-18 4.5-5.6 IS lens. Adapted it really is a beast for Vlogging
Mine arrived yesterday, I'll be pairing it mostly with the RF 16mm f/2.8 and the RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8.
I was super keen on the RF 24mm f/1.8 until they announced the price - so I stuck an EF-S 24mm f/2.8 pancake on it for about 1/5th the price.
719 pounds on canon uk , backorder
that price tag was a OOPS imo .__.
what about rolling shutter in 4k fine and 4k60 ?
Good catch on the ergo buttons and lenses. Hopefully Canon adapts.
Thank you. I am using this G85 and Thinking about an upgrade to R7... G85 autofocus in video is....
Pictures look sharp and rich color and bright. Happy Pictures. Tempting!
Was this shot with the kit lens?
Hello! Which flashlights should I buy for Canon EOS K7?
Great Job Jordan!!
How do these camera makers make PASM dials? I've never had it rotate unintentionally on my G90, G100, or FZ82. None of them have a lock. Also is that vlogging section really shot with the R7? That focus pulsing reminds me of a certain other system 😂
I hope Canon can give us something like a 10-24-ish f4 (which would be like a 16-40 equiv.) zoom lens for this body, and some fast aperture primes and this camera becomes a whole lot more compelling. It's too bad about the EVF, really the only significant negative for me on this camera. A viewfinder with a 3.69mil dot resolution and solid refresh rate (at least 60fps, maybe a high speed 120fps mode at 2.4mil dots) would've made this camera nearly perfect for me.
Either way I think I will end up picking this up sooner or later, probably the most appealing Canon RF body to me (R5 a bit too expensive; R3 too big & expensive etc.) despite a few of the drawbacks talked about here. The ergonomic issues may bother Jordan more than me though it is odd Canon seem to change random little things about the layout of the camera. I thought the R3 figured it out with the brilliant touch enabled AF-On button, which should become something of an industry standard in my opinion.
Evf is 1.15 magnification, which is kinda great?
the AF in the vlogging section looked horrible imo
That's strange about the EF 85mm f1.8. I use the very similar EF 10mm f2 on my R6 and the AF is spot on the very most of the times.
I can’t wait for the R10 video to be released
thanks Jordan
Could you tell me what lens you were shooting w this?
hows the evf in brightness? it doesnt wash out in the sun?
Best reviewers on the planet - Jordan and Chris, you guys set the bar man. Always informative and entertaining!!!
I'm not a professional photographer. I own a Canon M50, which is lovely, but I want to upgrade to the Canon R7 for it's IBIS, Animal Eye detect, Larger Battery etc... will it be a smart upgrade? considering that for a hobbyist, cellphone cameras may soon beat the R7 in a couple of years. Kindly advise. Thanks in advance.
Hi everyone, I have an EF 10-18mm wide angle lens for my vlogging stuff. Does anyone have experience with this lens with the EOS R7 with the adapter ring? Thanks!
sir only documentary & video canon r7 vs lumix S5 ?
I _love_ the jokes and fun in the review
One of the things that you didn’t comment upon is having an R7 when you already own a Canon R Mount and full frame R Mount L lenses. I also think that it would be nice to know which EF-L lenses gave you trouble on the R7 and which EF-L lenses work well. I think that it would be very interesting to understand this for existing Canon owners. I think that we have heard a lot of positives about this body but it sounds like you have problems with using more expensive full frame lenses on this APS-C sensor. I kind of understand some of your argument but if you already own either R or EF L series lenses for other bodies then this might not be a problem.
You've heard a lot of positive things from youtube influencers...Canon needs to sell that crap fast before new owners realize their mistake!
I don’t think that you are even trying to be fair by referring to it as crap. I think that Canon has done an interesting thing to put a high quality focus system and an APS-C sensor together for $1500. My experience with Canon L glass in the EF and R Mount has been really good. I still am deciding on what my mirrorless body will be. I have the Sony A7iii and am primarily a stills photography user. I shoot almost totally EF-L glass on my 5D III and 5DIV. Same on the Sony A7iii via the Metabones V adapter. I have both the standard and adjustment ring adapters for the EF to R Mount. I have tried the EOS R, R6, and R5 with the 24-70, and 70-200 zooms and the 85mm F1.2 R Mount lenses. I have not found a problem with my wide collection of EF-L glass on any of the R bodies. Moreover, the R Lenses that I tried are all spectacular. My comments about the R7 review is that it’s focused upon the R7 as an entry level camera but it is also a camera that works well for sports with the 1.6 X magnifications and existing pros might well find it useful for their kit with telephoto lenses especially older faster EF lenses.
Love it for sports w 70-200 2.8 ii
Canon never built serious lenses for their aps-c DSLRs, and they had years to do so. They were mostly keenly priced glass like the 10-18mm and the 24mm and 40mm pancakes, or you had to go EF and accept the crop and price - in which case why not go full frame? I'm not against apsc-c, I recently bought a tiny 100D to accept those same pancake lenses, but they need some no-compromise wide aperture primes if they're to compete in the video market.
Please, What is the specs of the native audio file of the r7? 24bit PCM, 16bit PCM or AAC? The R6 is AAC and I hate this limitation.
What is interesting to me is that I did a side by side comparison of 'studio scene' images at Imaging Resource, between the R7 and the Olympus OM-1 (m4/3's), and the OM-1 images @ 100% look better in terms of noise, color, and detail at every ISO up to and including ISO 25600. I realize that the OM-1 sells for $600 more, but still -- m4/3's vs APS-C.
What do you want from Canon???
A Sony BSI stacked sensor vs Canon old tech is the difference.
