I preordered one as a backup to the R5C and R5. It will also act like a focal length extender for the Sigma 105/1.4, which makes it a bit more versatile. I liked the low price and the non-stop recording. Thanks for doing a recording length test in the 4k Fine mode!
I'm currently shooting weddings and some Corp highlights on 2 x EOS R with Ninja V. pre-ordered this as an unmanned angle at weddings purely because of the no record limit and dual cards. feel like it's going to be my A cam for most of the day, but B cam during ceremony lol
Great review Carl. Thanks for the time digging into the R7. You've basically read my mind in terms of it being the perfect little B-cam for a C70. I've been building a kit list for a couple of months for a new job and really wanted a 2 camera setup to integrate into an existing Canon environment. The C70 as A-cam gave limited B-cam options for a good price but the R7 seems to slot in exactly where it needs to with features to be a great little brother for the C70. The 4K Fine mode looks excellent (albeit RUclips quality). Thanks again!
Canon would sell more R6's and R5's if they got rid of the record limit via firmware. I'd buy another one of those bodies in a heartbeat if so but instead I'm looking at an R7. And the R5c is a complete non-starter for me due to it's poor battery life and inability to shoot video in it's Photo OS.
Agreed, and if they added the MI shoe. It feels like the R5 and R6 have just missed out on both of those features being ready. Every camera Canon have released since have had them!
@@carlyates2487 I totally agree! The recording limit on the R6 is the biggest dealbreaker for me.. hope we will see an R6 mark II soon, or an R6C perhaps that’s more video focused like the R5C.
The record limit is caused by various countries tax systems I understand, in other words, it reduces the cost. With the average length of a video clip being 5 seconds, who needs long record times very often anyway?
Thanks for the great review Carl. I have been shopping for a smaller legit video camera to use for personal shoots, like vacations, graduations etc. but I also wanted a solid b camera to pair with my C200 or C300 mkII. Once I heard it records in C-log 3 and also offers Canon cinema gammit I was sold. I also plan to use it on a smaller gimbal to save my shoulders on long shoots. I had an EOS R6 for that purpose but I sold it a year ago and bought the C200 as a b camera to my C300 mkII. I have found that it is too big to use comfortably with a gimbal or hand held, unless it is on my shoulder. I really feel that the R7 will fit nicely with the other two cameras and was a no brainer for the price. I picked up a used one for $1,200. and am stoked to use it.
@@carlyates2487 Canon R7 has everything I need. Indie films with low to no budget are a perfect fit for a camera with all these features. Fast and dependable auto focus, IBIS and great 4K in 10 BIT.
Im a graphic designer who shoots hybrid for social media - the R7 is a great camera for the money. The system needs a 10 or 11mm F1.8 lens like Sony has just released - I need that for interior work ( I dont want to deal with adapters).
I’m glad most of the initial marketing of this camera focuses on its Photo strengths, with the Video essentially mentioned as an excellent, very stable added bonus. Seems they learned from their R5/R6 video marketing fiasco. Looking forward to having a go with this one soon!
I think this camera sounds really exciting. I want one! My unstabilized Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 told me it wants to be mounted to Canon's first APS-C camera with IBIS. The video specs are quite compelling, and the Tascam adapter looks like a great accessory. The focal reducer is wonderful too, turning this essentially into a full-frame camera. I currently have my Sigma 18-35 mounted to a Panasonic G85 with a Viltrox speedbooster. My practice is always to wait until the next generation, after cameras flood the used market, and prices drop. Will this be the right camera to make me switch to Canon or at least supplement my Micro Four Thirds arsenal? Quite possibly.
Thanks for a very useful review. I was glad to hear from you that we don't need more than a v60 card. As a retired professional filmmaker, the R7 is ideal for me to shoot documentaries and low budget independent fiction productions, considering what it offers at this price point. Currently using it as A-cam to my 80d (sic)! Looking forward to explore the C-log 3. Greetings from Greece!
Nice to see I'm not the only one keeping my 80D as B-cam! I mostly make Improv/Stage play/Musical recordings and the R7, thanks to the no time limit, will be perfect for the front wide angle shot while I'll use the 80D for the close-ups. Cant' wait to get it!
@@giniemery8022 I'm sorry to inform you that i've just sold my dear Canon 80d, cause the time limit and the lack of 4k have gradually become a no go for me.
A full frame sensor is not ideal for video: Depth of field is inadequate for most video purposes, meaning that you have to use wider apertures which results in having to increase the iso, which reduces the quality…substantially! That is why video cameras generally do not use 35mm (24x36mm) sensors. Yes, 35mm sensors can have larger pixels resulting in better low light performance, I agree. However, I need depth of field for filming most things…the background being in focus at the same time as the kids on the beach etc. All-Intra would have been good, but boy, not as good as inbuilt nd filters. Nothings perfect! 😄
Awesome video, thank you! It would be great if you could do some comparison vs cameras around the same price point. Also, external recording could overcome the IPB only problem.
Nice review. I’ve watched it on my phone, and had the impression that the color balance of your skin tone was somehow green. I did not checked on my computer on a color balanced monitor. Anyone else?

Thank you for this fantastic video and all your hard work. What should I pick between this and the s5ii when I rely heavily on autofocus to film myself and shoot broll? I also use a teleprompter and a dynamic mic when doing the first.
@@carlyates2487, I just want to get my hands on the Canon R7, do you know the exact date they will be available in the shops please? (End of June is too vague for me 😂, I am slightly impatient with the wait)
Thank you for this video. I have a question, hopefully it won't sound to naive, but here goes: I a have a Canon 200D, would my lenses be compatible with the R7 or do I need one of those adaptors you are showing in your video? If so, which one? Thank you.
What camera was this video shot on...an r7 as well. The skintones looked like theyve been pulled up a lot. and there was some interesting masking at 10:53 around the neck area. I'm curious since I'm considering the r7 too. Thanks!
Could I ask if you have a problem with noise when filming with your R7? I have noticed a high pitched, mechanical, whirring noise, almost like a tiny fan with my R7. It seems to be on all the time when the camera is switched on, even when not filming. Just wondered if you have the same issue and how you deal with it on your clips. Thanks 😊
While it is indeed, like you said, not the most exciting specs, the price is excellent. Nothing in this price point can match it, and the footage looks good. It would make a killer B-Cam. How was the dynamic range, compared to a R5/R6?

I just saw a review that implies that the R7 lacks animal eye AF in video, similar to the R5C. Is that true? If so, it's a huge disappointment. You shot a lot of bird video and didn't mention any issue with animal eye AF.
Hi Carl. I am wondering. If you were to choose between the R7 and the Sony FDR-AX700 camcorder, which would you choose? I am looking for something to do just video work with and really can't make up my mind. Nice review by the way. Thank you
Thanks for providing a valuable information. Any idea if this cam can take photos while shooting video? I am very much interested in it... as a travel cam
I'd love to test the Video AF paired with the sigma 18-35... For some of the trickiest gimbal work, i'd love to have a reliable AF (panasonic shooter...)
I’m still using a Canon T2i and looking to upgrading. I learned about the R7 coming soon, and also looking into the Sony A6600. I never heard of the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K. But quickly looking into it, it looks interesting. I primarily shoot video, and want something I can get the cinematic look. Would you recommend the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K over this if cinematic video is what I’m looking for?
I just got the R7 a few days ago. It's odd that you said 4K Fine only does 25. I wonder if there has been a firmware update since. I look at mine I see 4k Fine for 24FPS and 29.97FPS. Is it different for PAL ???
Its focal reducer by canon using 100% coverage for af or is it same as on the c70 (like only 60%) ? What about ef-r3 speedbooster by villtrox is it viable option also and if there is also that limitation with autofocus coverage like on canon one. If its okay im gonna preorder one instantly
Have you paired this with an monitor/external recorder yet? I'm trying to figure out if this will black out the back screen if use HDMI out. Also, can it record to SD card and external recorder at the same time? Thanks!
Good question... I was a bit disappointed when using an external monitor with my R6 and not being able to make use of the touch screen for autofocus or menu changes
Great video, thank you. I have one small question, can i use ef-s 55-250 on R7? When i use them, will i have the full access to video setting options? Thank you!
Sweet mother WHY does this get such better battery life over my R5c? I don't need 8k. Why don't they give us these numbers while in 4k modes? Odd. Now I think it has to be firmware. BTW what are you using to film this talking head footage?
This is much better battery life than the R5c. You’d expect the R5c to use more power… but I suspect they need to do some optimising in its firmware. This was all filmed on C70. The talking heads had to be quite heavily graded though as we were battling the midday sun in a location with very little natural shade to help. I should have bought a reflector with me!
Its an interesting one. I didn't include it in this because I didn't have time to test it to see if it hurt image quality. But at first glance it looked good. Its subtle, but thats how it should be.
Canon C70. It needed quite heavy grading though as we were caught out with a very sunny day (unusual here in the UK) with no reflector and a location with minimal shade of any kind. I had to pull a lot from the shadows and the C70 did well.
Hello Carl as usual a very nice video. Hey I have one question how this camera compares in image quality with the Sony a7IV ?? I know A7IV is more expensive but just out of curiosity, image quality wise how it compares??
Its very subjective! The a7 IV has a full frame sensor, so does have the edge there. Personally I prefer the way that the Canon colours look straight out of camera. Id have to put them side by side to be able to answer that properly i'm afraid
@@carlyates2487 I totally understand, thanks for your reply, and sorry other question the last one it’s to much of a quality loss when you do 4k 60p line-skipping, I guess a better question will be the 4k line-skipping is still better than the 1080p I guess?
The problems I have with the drop-in filter adapter is 1. the horrendous price, and 2. the fact that it is an adapter, limiting me to EF lenses after installation. RF lenses will not work on this adapter
I never recommend people hold off choosing a camera for one that doesn’t exist yet unless the rumour mill is absolutely certain somethings on its way soon. I am also very curious to see what a full frame camera in between the r7 and r6 would look like… but there might not be one! We will have to wait and see. But these are tools, if you need a tool now to do your work, buy one now.
@@carlyates2487 There's just no point buying something until its good enough to use and reasonably priced. Canon is failing miserably with overheating, overpriced lenses, not allowing competitors make RF lenses, 30 min recording limits, some having AF issues and some camera being way overpriced while still having these issues. So,, wait for RP2 and see what it might offer. If you own Canon DSLR, don;t make the switch to mirrorless just for the sake of it.
wait for a non existing camera? what a silly recommendation. camera companies arent like phone companies that upgrade yearly. youre probably gonna wait a long time. and regardless whatever it comes with isnt going to beat r7 in all aspects like the 32mp apsc reach. even if it does, you can always sell and upgrade.
Good value for money? Good RF lenses cost a lot more than this body. And going for discontinued EF lenses with adaper isn't "value for money". Canon needs to stop being greedy and open up RF mount for 3rd parties like Sigma and Tamron
thx for review, im strongly decided to buy R7, my question is IBIS stabilisation supports diffrent lenses like 50mm ? i mean walking and recording videos 4k ?
I was considering the 90D for a while until the R7 was announced, I think depending on budget and if you already have EF Lenses I'd say get a $50 adapter for lenses and get the R7 for the higher quality 4k footage that is downscaled from like the 7k resolution. You get C Log 3 so you can basically grade video like you can Raw Images, all this for about $300 more, but all depends what you need it for and what system of lenses you might already have. I'm considering getting the R7 since I already have a sigma EF 18-35 lens and want an upgrade into the 4k world for weddings and photos that isn't 4k dolloars lol.
This is the best APS-C camera you can find today, a really good camera for what it costs!
I agree!

I think it will work well for you. I've been very impressed
Sold! Dual SD and no record limit!
Ordered mine on the 11th of June. Still has 6-8 weeks of expected delivery. Cant wait to start trying it out.
It’s worth noting that the inclusion of Clog3 is a huge addition compared to previous cameras like the 90D or M6 Mark II.
Absolutely! This is a much more suitable camera for professional video work than either of those in my opinion

@@carlyates2487 I totally understand, thanks for your reply, and sorry other question the last one it’s to much of a quality loss when you do 4k 60p line-skipping, I guess a better question will be the 4k line-skipping is still better than the 1080p I guess?
What camera was this video shot on and codec?
C70 in 4K XFAVC
Can i use R7 for travel cinematic video ?
Thank you
Of course, in fact its a hugely practical camera for that kind of work
@@carlyates2487 Thank you
There is also 23.98 FPS, correct?
Yes there is.
The problems I have with the drop-in filter adapter is 1. the horrendous price, and 2. the fact that it is an adapter, limiting me to EF lenses after installation. RF lenses will not work on this adapter
why you didn't mention about rolling shutter ? and also I realized that 4k60 is the line skipping mode and almost unusable
Canon APS-C body with gigantic Full Frame lenses. What is the function of APS-C cameras in the Canon lineup? A step up to Full Frame.
There is no ASP-C lenses from Canon unfortunately
And the winner is....Fujifilm X-HS2. Forget Cripple Hammer Canon.
Can you please review z30. I think it’s better option
The 4K crop mode support all the frame rates of the normal full sensor mode? How about 1080p crop modes?
No, it seems to only be 50p, 25p was greyed out which is a bit strange.
Don't buy this and wait and see what RP2 brings
I never recommend people hold off choosing a camera for one that doesn’t exist yet unless the rumour mill is absolutely certain somethings on its way soon. I am also very curious to see what a full frame camera in between the r7 and r6 would look like… but there might not be one! We will have to wait and see. But these are tools, if you need a tool now to do your work, buy one now.
@@carlyates2487 There's just no point buying something until its good enough to use and reasonably priced. Canon is failing miserably with overheating, overpriced lenses, not allowing competitors make RF lenses, 30 min recording limits, some having AF issues and some camera being way overpriced while still having these issues. So,, wait for RP2 and see what it might offer. If you own Canon DSLR, don;t make the switch to mirrorless just for the sake of it.
@@mandofan2616 What are you talking about???...have you not watched the video you are commenting on
wait for a non existing camera? what a silly recommendation. camera companies arent like phone companies that upgrade yearly. youre probably gonna wait a long time. and regardless whatever it comes with isnt going to beat r7 in all aspects like the 32mp apsc reach. even if it does, you can always sell and upgrade.
@@mandofan2616 I have 2 x non canon RF lenses and they work a treat....
Good value for money? Good RF lenses cost a lot more than this body. And going for discontinued EF lenses with adaper isn't "value for money". Canon needs to stop being greedy and open up RF mount for 3rd parties like Sigma and Tamron
thx for review, im strongly decided to buy R7, my question is IBIS stabilisation supports diffrent lenses like 50mm ? i mean walking and recording videos 4k ?
Hmm still🥲
I Have a Dilemma choosing between EOS 90D & EOS R7😂😂😂
I was considering the 90D for a while until the R7 was announced, I think depending on budget and if you already have EF Lenses I'd say get a $50 adapter for lenses and get the R7 for the higher quality 4k footage that is downscaled from like the 7k resolution. You get C Log 3 so you can basically grade video like you can Raw Images, all this for about $300 more, but all depends what you need it for and what system of lenses you might already have. I'm considering getting the R7 since I already have a sigma EF 18-35 lens and want an upgrade into the 4k world for weddings and photos that isn't 4k dolloars lol.
