I was going to upgrade my Canon 70d to the Canon R7 , but there was a worldwide shortage of R7, when the R6 mark ii was announced , I was glad the R7 was short stocked .I am currently enjoying Canon R6 mark ii no regrets
Thanks for the comment. Thing work out that way sometimes. Appears you got the camera that was right for you. Way to go!
very informative Kathy, thanks for the wonderful review.
You are welcome! Glad I could help.
Thanks Kathy .. just recived my new R6mk2 to goes whit the R7 for the reach ... cant waite to compare both on the field ,,,take care !
Yea! That's a nice combination of cameras. You are set!!
Thanks for a another good review. I own the R7 and most likely will get the R6 MKII later this year. One thing I do like that the R6 MKII has is the capability to have a vertical battery grip attached, I believe the same one that was made for the R6, whereas the R7 does not have a similar grip at all. Not a big deal for some shooters but I have big hands and the grip fits me better as well as I like the balance when shooting with a large telephoto lens, the increased power, as well as a more comfortable grip and trigger release position when shooting verticals.
thanks Kathy, i convinced our birding club chairman to change his 7D mark II to R7 and he is so happy. using it with his trusty 500 mm f5.6.
@ammadoux Thanks for the comment. Yes, I think 7D Mark II users will be very happy with the R7. It's a perfect choice for them. Thanks for the comment.
Nice Job..😀😀.. Your answers to the comments are great too..
Thanks for the comment. Glad you like the video!
An excellent unbiased explenation of those two cameras. The Canon people must appreciate your comparison... Laszlo Montreal
Thanks, Laszlo, that's a very kind comment. Appreciate it!!
Thank you for your input and the comparison. I shoot with the 5D Mark IV but would love to upgrade to mirrorless. I love shooting wildlife and birds especially and think the auto focus and tracking capabilities on the newer cameras would be a great tool. I don’t have the funds to get the R5 and even the R6 MarkII is out of my budget. I had been looking at the R7 because it was a body I could get without breaking the bank. But I wasn’t sure it was the right camera for bird photography. Thank you for sharing your insight and the comparison of the two cameras.
I think the R7 is a perfectly fine camera for bird photography. I've had people on my trip that use it. They get great results. Go for it! Remember that you'll get the best results with the RF lenses. Consider selling your old equipment and getting as many new pieces as possible.
Helpful spec talk with slow measured comparisons. A good review of stuff I already had seen.
But no mention of your own usages. Electronic shutter has had some problems with "rolling shutter" phenomenon with the R7 but you don't even go there. I just put in a search Canon r6 mark ii review and your channel came up. I had never seen yours before. I'll keep you in mind...
Thanks for the post. This video was a simple comparison of two cameras. I have a video in the works about the camera in the field. Thanks for watching.
Great video
I was thinking about getting one of these Canon cameras for snapshots and I have a Fujifilm GFX100S for work and wondered if there is an adapter so I can use Zeiss lenses on the Canon. Can the Canons do 8K/60 video?
I don't know the answer to that question, @greggroberts. The Canon has 4K UHD video at 60 frames per second. Love the slomo videos that it produces.
Hi Kathy, Nice video! I have the old R6 and the R7. I find that for birding, the R7 with RF100-500 is my choice all the time now. It gives equivalent 160mm to 800mm without using an extender which is very convenient, plenty of reach and freedom to zoom out as well as fit in the camera bag easier than R6 with extender. What I really want is an R7 MkII with the more stable R6 MkII autofocus and less rolling shutter than the current R7 has. We always want something we can't have!
Glad you're still liking the R7, @mdoing. I'm sure Canon will offer something new soon that tempts us once more. There's always a new camera on the horizon.
Not a bad comparison. It might have been helpful to discuss the portential use cases of both cameras in greater detail. Also, as of this writing, Canon only makes two lenses specific to the cropped sensor cameras (R7 and R10). They have the RF-S designation. The RF 24-240 is not one of them, but they do have a 28-150mm. The standard RF glass can be used though. HTH
Thanks for the clarification.
RF-S 18-150mm. Now there is a 10-18mm, too.
Between 5d iv and R7 wich better for wedding photo sessions and short clips??
For weddings, I'd say use the 5D Mark IV. Short clips, the R7.
Great comparison, Kathy. I noticed that high speed shooting info in the chart is wrong, R6 has 12 fps with mechanical shutter, not 8, so exactly the same as R6 mark II, also R6 has 20 fps with electronic shutter, not 12. R6 mark II is great camera overall, only things I would like to see improved with next iterations are buffer size (which is much worse in mark II than in original R6), and video switch positioning, it would be so much better if it was on the right size of the camera, I hate that I have to move my left hand from supporting the lens just to flick a switch, video switch button on R3 is immensely better solution. If money isn't the issue I would always go for the R6 over R7, it's just nicer experience in terms of ergonomics and, even though it's less MP, you get nicer and cleaner files overall, especially at high ISO, and R6's AF is more reliable and consistent.
Thanks, Rovle. I think the fps were covered in some earlier replies and conversations. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I'm still in the fence R7 or M6II. Plan to do sports and birding. Can't decide yet. 😮
Think of them as systems, @mik1998. The R7 works well with the newer less expensive lenses that Canon makes. The R6 Mark II is more expensive and works well with the more expensive lenses. The R7 is more in the "Rebel" mode of cameras. Works really well but not as expensive as the bigger, more expensive cameras. Look at the long term costs versus the initial outlay for the camera alone.
Thank you Kathy for sharing this comprehensive comparison video! I got R7 which is good enough for me now. I would like to know more recommended lens and accessories for R7.
Thanks for the comment @MavicAir2TW. The answer depends on what you're photographing and what you own right now. Give me some info and I'll try to help. I'm always willing to spend your money for you.
@@KathyAdamsClark I often do bird photography, timelapse videos, and landscape video footage. 80% video and 20% photo. Overheating issue is one of my most concerns. So far my R7 has no overheating problem during 4K 30/60fps video recordings.
@@MavicAir2TW My lens recommendations would be the RF100-500mm, RF 24-105mm, RF14-35mm. Those lenses would have you covered for all your needs. I didn't notice any overheating with the R7.
@@KathyAdamsClark How about RF 100-400mm lens ? I’d like to see this review if available.
@@MavicAir2TW I love the RF 100-500mm. I use it with the 1.4x extender. My favorite lens for wildlife, action, and macro. Excellent on butterflies and dragonflies. Fabulous lens!
Madam, Thank u for ur valuable compassion. i am a bird photographer. i am using canon 80D with sigma 150-600mm lens. i want upgrade my camera to mirrorless. so, I am very much confused in buying whether r6 mark ii or r7. please suggest what to buy.
Thank u
Thanks for asking my advice. I think you're going to be happy with either camera. Both are excellent. My recommendation is to put both cameras in your hand if you can. Go to a camera store and touch each of them. One of them is going to fit in your hands better than the other. Get the RF100-500mm lens, too, and you'll be so happy.
Can i used Sigma EF Mount DSLR lens with adaptor in canon R6 ii
I would assume you can. If the Sigma lens fit on the older R6 or R5, then it's the same mount. The adaptor seems to work with most lenses.
Yes, you can. I have a Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 and Canon 70-200mm
You lose some connectivity as the EF only has 8 pins vs the 12 on the RF. I'm not sure what the effect is. I think it affects AF a bit.
Dear Kathy, thank you for your ecxellent and briefing video. I am mainly a basketball photographer but i also love track and field sports. I am currently using Canon 7D Mark ii with Canon 70-200 F2.8mm lens. I have decided to have an upgrade on camera to mirrorless. I was about to decide on R6 ii but since R7 is way cheaper I beleive your suggestion will drop light on my decision🤔. Please aslo advice what lenses should i have/buy since my old 70-200 F2.8mm i beleive will not be in use for both?
Thank you.
I'm glad I could help make your decision. Thank for the nice comment. I love the 100-500mm RF lens and really love the 70-200mm RF. I have the 70-200mm f/4 RF and love it. It's so tiny and light. Couple it with the R7 and you'd have an inconspicuous workhorse of a camera. Good luck!
@@KathyAdamsClark thanks for your reply. My only worry is that with the R7 (cropped) i will have the same optical view as my 7D whereas a full frame as R6 ii will capture wider view thus have more action coverage on the photo. Does this worth spending more on a full frame for the particular purpose as Basketball where the court has limited space?
@@constantinoskyprianou9722 that's really up to you. I switched to full frame sensors years ago. I've forgotten what it looks like with a cropped sensor. Both are good cameras. The decision is if you want to continue with cropped sensor cameras and their lenses or move to full frame sensors. The R7 is a bit smaller. The R6ii is bigger in the hand. Decisions, decisions, decisions. You can't go wrong either way.
What’d you decide on and how do you like it specifically for indoor sports?
excellent vid thanks! have you compared the R6 Mark II vs. the R5?
They R6 Mark II is way superior in the AF to the R5. I sold my R5 when I got the R6 Mark II.
@@KathyAdamsClark really? Good to know thanks.
@@vaxxedfilms7477 Yep!
@@KathyAdamsClark I sold my R6 - torn between R6 mkii and R5
I had a brief play with the R7, I think, rather than just compare spec, you should mention than you will probably need to buy expensive new glass to make use of the 32mp sensor. Using my EF 70-300 DO lens the R7 images were terrible, it seemed to magnify the flaws, they were noticeably soft. The salesman said he used a Sigma art lens, 105mm f1.4 as most of his other lenses didn't cut it. Maybe if you spent £3,000 on an RF100-500 you would get good results.
Thanks for the comment. I think new cameras need new glass but all of that is expensive. The new cameras are going to magnify flaws or imperfections in old glass. That's just the way it is.
The following lenses are recommended by Canon for getting the best from the EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R:

I was just thinking that if canon would swap the scensor in terms of megapixels bouth cameras would be much better. Because on the R6 II you have the cropping issue with your Full frame and low megapixel count but on the R7 you have the noise Issue because of the pixel densitie. If you swap them you get a 32,5 Megapixel Fullframe sensor on the R6 II and a 24,2 Megapixel sensor on the R7. Because the R7 already has a 1,6 Crop due to its Sensor size you dont really need that much Pixels to crop and the lower Pixels help with image noise in low light conditions. The R6 II however has these cropping issues so more pixels would benifit it too and because of the Fullframe sensor you actually shouldnt get any noise issues
@thimoschreiber4275 thanks for the observation. Hope the folks from Canon are reading this post!!
Will my EF 100-400 f:4.5-5.6 IS II go well with R-6MK II or R7?
Will my EF 100-400 f:4.5-5.6 IS mark II go well with R6 mark II or R 7?
It should, Pradeep. You'll need the adapter, of course. The lens on the R7 would give you a nice crop.
I have been holding off on the R6 Mark II because I am waiting to see if there will be another R5 maybe Mark II also. The C has a fan but the battery life is lousy. I own the R7 and R10 and love the cameras. Question did you use the usb web cam feature for this video? On mine I use Ecamm Live software for the Mac and Elgato Camlink 4k usb for the output. Well done1 Cheers!
Thanks for the question @Randallbrander8157. I'm using Camtasia for these. It's no perfect but it's familiar and fairly easy to use. I'll check out your software. Thanks!!
🙏💐 Dear Kathy
Namaste,
Good & detail comparison between Canon EOS R7 & Canon EOS R6 mark ii cameras.
Both cameras are identical & par excellent according to their features.
I want your expert advice & suggestion as I'm going to buy one out of this two.
Does R7 works well in lowlight & uncontrolled light conditions. What are the results.
Whether I must go with R7 or R6 mark ii.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Arun 🇮🇳
Arun, I think the R6 Mark II has been low light capabilities. I've used it a lot at high ISO and it's amazing. Combine that with the new Adobe AI Noise Reduction and you're in good shape. Enjoy and thanks for the comment.
🙏💐 Thanks for your reply
Arun 🇮🇳
Madame how is high ISO performance of R7 viz a viz R6 Mk II
Madame how is high ISO performance of R7 viz a viz R 6 Mk II
I haven't tested the two cameras side-by-side but both perform well at high ISO. I hope that helps.
I am a loyal canon user. I hate the prices of the R line. But, now that I NEED an upgrade I have to decide whether to invest in DSLR or switch to mirrorless. And I’m not entirely happy with the decision based on price.
I exclusively shoot APS-C so I’m leaning the R7. I also need 2.8 because of my needs. I currently shoot with the old 77d and a 17-55 2.8 but they don’t have an equivalent for that with the R7.
Would you suggest the r7 with the 15-35 2.8 or the 24-70 2.8. With the 17-55 I sometimes find myself a little shorter than I would like. I mostly shoot portraits, landscape, and occasionally some animals.
I don’t buy into the whole “you have to have full frame” as I have had great success with APS-C, but I also worry about the change to mirrorless. I struggled for a while leaving the 35mm behind and then went straight to APS-C for most of my adult photography years.
Every other RUclipsr always lectures me on the APS-C vs FF thing when all I need is a little guidance trying to make the change that will future proof me for another 5-10yrs+.
Advice?
Thanks for the long post, @Spuddlefunk. First of all, you are going to be amazed at the quality of the new Canon mirrorless cameras. A digital SLR user recently said "this is a game changer" after shooting with an R camera for just an hour. There are so many technological changes. So many. Get moving! Get an R camera. The R7 is great, loaded with tons of new features, and much better than what you have right now. Stick with the cropped sensor. It's okay! The key is making the move -- now!
@@KathyAdamsClark how is the learning curve? I’ve read horror stories of people not being able to adjust to the EVF vs OVF. I don’t use my live view like I probably should - usually using my OVF.
You're going to be fine! I don't use live view either. The view through the viewfinder is amazing and super clear. You can do it!!
I did end up buying the R7 with 24-70 f2.8…..I absolutely HATE the EVF. With a passion….photo quality is, indeed amazing though.
@@spuddlefunk Have you adjusted the view through the view finder. There are setting that will help smooth the image. Give it a try.
So priorities.
Price: go with R7
Long focal length: go with R7
Megapixels: go with R7
Low noise: go with R6ii
Body quality: go with R6ii
Full frame: go with R6ii
R7 has up to 7 stops of ibis R6ii has up to 8. Hard choice eh.
Yep! @isotechimages.9130 I think it boils down to ergonomics and long-range budget. Folks are in good hands no matter which camera they select.
The lenses (for example 24-105) are not made especially for each camera, both can be used on R7. The difference is that 24-105 L is F4 all the way, the other one is not.
Of course, @1961koper. Thanks.
The original R6 has a 20 FPS high-speed electronic shutter performance
Thanks, @robertm3951. I see that in the technical specs. Appreciate the correction.
Also, in mechanical shutter for the R6MkI is 12fps, not 8fps.
I think the R7 is faster with the mechanical shutter, because it can be smaller with the APS-C sensor.
New cards are mainly necessary for extreme shootings. Maybe RAW+JPEG with electronic sensor and many pictures (internal buffer exceeded). Certainly with 4K 60FPS.
24-105 is a RF lens not an RF-S. It is not useful for crop. The RF-S lenses are even more expensive than comparable RF (not L) lenses.
thanks for your comment, @reinhard8053 I'd hate to do the editing on all the images shot in RAW+JPEG with electronic shutter. Not my recommendation at all. The RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 lens is way less expensive than the 24-105mm RF f/4 lens. It's a nice alternative and is a cute little lens.
@@KathyAdamsClark Yes it is cheaper but with crop you only get down to 38mm. That's not enough for me. I bought the 18-150 with the R7 and I like it. It is really small and light. Ideal for travelling and hiking.
Thanks for your insight. @@reinhard8053
You forget to mention R7 buffer size is really tiny, limiting duration of high speed shooting.
Good point, @msbrownbeast That definitely something to take into consideration.
You missed info
I suspect I did. What information did you need?
@@KathyAdamsClark I mean original R6 also does 12fps mechanical and 20fps electronic as well as my R5
Перевести
The R6 shoots at 20fps in high speed ES, not 12.
I think someone already corrected that below. Thanks!
She just read us the specs period
Period period not near as informative as others with tests and insight
Thanks for the feedback and post, Brian. I do what I do and other do what they do. Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.
