Looks like almost a dozen reviews got the pre release models. They all would have had an NDA telling them they can't release until a certain time. Hence why they pretty much all released within a few minutes of each other. If anyone releases early, say goodbye to getting sent cameras in the future.
Danke für das Video. Ich hab mich schon gefragt, wann wir eine erste Vorstellung der R7 erwarten können. Freue mich schon auf den vollständigen Testbericht! Herzliche Grüße aus Kalifornien
Wow, you guys must be really well connected and respected. You're the first video I have seen with the actual camera. I have an R6 and 7D MII. I am hoping this will replace the latter. Is there an adapter for EF lenses? Looking forward to mounting the 300 2.8 L IS and 100-400 L MII but they are both EF. Also interested in build quality. The 7D MII is tough. I'm hoping I can take the R7 out on hikes and to shoot sports and not worry about a little bit of very light rain.
Yes, there is an adapter for EF lenses. I've been using it on the R5 and R3 and it works like a charm. Don't hesitate to keep some of your old EF glass - the adapter is worth its money and produces images as if you'd be shooting on a camera that fits EF lenses.

It probably is with the time zone. She’s allowed to release her video. And I was just listening to canon rumor speculations about the R7 and R10 all morning
Grats on the scoop! I was really hoping to see some early info on whether or not the R7 would have the animal eye AF and I'm pretty stoked it does! It seems like (almost scared to say this) the perfect entry into the RF family for me. I'll be getting it!
Very interesting review, as always ! I currently own a Canon eos R , a RF 70-200 f2,8 , a Sigma 100-400 and a Sigma 150-600 (contemporary) . I would like to improve my (limited) skills for wildlife photography, and I wonder if the best choice to buy a camera Body with Animal eye detection camera body would be R6 or R7 . Better Iso the first one, better reach (I believe) the second . Any suggestion from you side ? Thanks !
Hey Sabine, great review on the R7. I watched it along with others before I went and bought the camera. I paired it up with the RF 100-500mm and like the combination for its lightness and easy transition from other Canon cameras. The quickness of eye focus is amazing as is the video. At 2K CDN dollars it will be a great addition to the R6 and 5D mkiv on the trip to Botswana. My only disappointment that was brought up by many reviews was the noise level. Of the bear,bison and air show shots I have taken, the noise was the biggest complaint- perhaps the only. My 7D mkii never had the issue to this level and think a noise removal software program would be advised to have in post. The R6 with RF 100-500 was not nearly as and think there is still some shuffling to be done to fine tune the arrangement. Thanks again for your and the Pangolin team for putting out some great videos. They are most helpful and inspirational. Cheers!
Greetings to Sabine and Pangolin Safari, I just bought it before your video came out, now I feel more confident with everything Sabine said, Sabine thanks for your advice and also to all of you Charl, Janine and Danielle. I have learned a lot, greetings from the Caribbean Puerto Rico.
Thanks so much, Sabine. I have just received my R7 and now I hope that you will make a wildlife settings video for this camera as well. Any idea when you will be able to get that out?
I am considering upgrading my Fuji XT30 camera to a Sony A7IV, but this is quite tempting considering the price and weight. Looking forward to the full review. It's a shame the Canon RF 100-500 is so expensive! I wish there was something like the Sony 200-600 which is almost half the price!
Congratulations to be the first on a short review of this exciting camera !! Yes, I am eager to get this camera and shoot wildlife with the RF 100-500. I suppose this is an ideal combination shooting with enough light. Under lower light you may continue with the R6 and a 70-200 f2.8.
I tried using the r7 with the EF 500mm f4 lens and it struggled with autofocus. I was photographing bald eagles scooping up smelt. I would lock onto the eagle and the autofocus would disengage and it would struggle to get another lock on the bird. I was using electronic first curtain, high burst mode (not H+). I used your recommended settings. Tomorrow I’ll use the RF 100-500mm f/7.1 lens and see if it will do better. Have you used the r7 with the 500mm f/4 and had any issues with focus lock?
Hi Sabine Great to see proper wildlife specialists like Pangolin getting a first look and very nice video Sabine , how does it perform in low light/high isos ? Thanks Noel
Great video, very well done, I have ordered the R7 and can’t wait to try it out. I am looking forward to your full review of the camera, also great shots.
I guess Canon's intent is clear for having you guys have the first look into these new cameras instead of the likes of McKinnon, Gerald and the Northrups. Seems to be overall well-rounded offerings from Canon this time around. Hope they will succeed and use that to strengthen the RF lens lineup.
@@dtibor5903 You may be right, but looking at the videos done by DPReview and a few others, the laser focus on wildlife and sports is obvious. McKinnon has been radio silent despite being a Canon ambassador and the cameras being final production units. Canon is being weirdly selective about who gets first dip this time around and to me it shows how hard they are pushing this agenda.
The Northrups no longer get invites to Canon events. They fell out over Tony’s harsh review of the eosR. They no longer get early access to canon bodies and can only talk to specs
Great vlog, thank you. I see on this vlog that you've tried the R7 with the Canon RF 800mm f11. How well did the autofocus work with this lens on the R7 compared to the R5?
Hi Sabine, it is great that accomplished wildlife photographers tell us about the R7 and R10, like somebody else noticed. Looking forward to the detailed review by you and Charl, especially at that new wheel by the focus on button, and missing the classic canon back wheel. Will see. So far thank you!
Wow, you really convinced me! I have ordered this camera although it is on back-order from the big photo stores in New York. I can't wait to have it for my next trip to Pangolin, hopefully some time in the not-too-distant future.
It was a genuinely nice review, and it has me second guessing my next planned upgrade (R6). However, I would like these cameras to be tested on lenses most of us can afford. The RF 100-500mm has me drooling, but it is out of reach for many of us.
Take out a loan! People take out a loan to get a house, a car, and heck, they often spend $100 on dinner which is over in like a half hour. If you love photography, go out and borrow to get what you want. You just have to decide how much you want your dream lens! Anyway, now that I got that out of the way, the R6 is fantastic. I don’t think you will be disappointed at all. I don’t really miss the crop sensors much, since I got used to full frame several years ago. We just have to see if the R7 is on par with noise levels. If it is, then it’s definitely the better option if you shoot birds mostly. I also debated upgrading from my 100-400 to the 100-500L. I just don’t think that lens is worth the upgrade. It’s too costly for what you get. You are better off with an older 500mm f4 lens to adapt and go. Good luck to you!
Glass is way more important than body. If you can't afford good glass then you certainly shouldn't be spending so much on a Canon R6 or R7. /humble bow
@@grahamfloyd3451 oh yes, 100 percent. You don’t know how many people spend 3500 bucks on an R5 and then stick a crappy tamron zoom on it. These days, the camera bodies have made a much bigger leap from the DSLR so this has shifted a little towards the importance of a better body though. But yes, glass is so important!
@@grahamfloyd3451 That's true. But in wildlife photography the animal eye tracking is a game changer. The amount of pictures you miss only because of the AF is huge, and the 15 FPS (or even 30) really make a difference for action images or flights. Usually for wildlife you can only save a few shots from each session, and very rarely you get "that one" shot where something interesting is going on with a perfect focus. But with the eye tracking sistem of the new R5 and R6 the number of keepers is way higher and the chance of getting the money shot increases a lot. And now you have that very same thing but in a 1500€ camera, and a 1.6x sensor and with IBIS too. Combined with the 100-500 RF you are now (easily) handholding a 800mm lens with almost perfect sharpness and a camera with top image quality. That's crazy. My best lens is the old 400mm F5.6 and I was saving for a better one, but as soon as I find out how the R7 really does at high ISO I'm definitely going for it.
Wow a review video BEFORE the actual launch. That is unusual! Glad to get some solid info and a review. Thanks! Love they got rid of the time limit. Do you know if the 120HD still has autofocus?
Is the 18-150mm EF-S kit lens that comes with the R7 worth it? Or should I go with the full-frame RF lenses just in case I eventually upgrade to full frame?
Hi, I have one question that is most important to me as an event photographer, is it with the EF-EFS lens adapter in video photography Decreases the number of frames from 50 to 25 as in the camera R ? And thanks for the video, I really liked
Thanks for this nice pre-review ! Indeed R7 looks very strong for WL photography, so I have 2 questions : - Is the low resolution EVF OK ? - Is there a dedicated battery grip ?
🙏 Hii Sabine, I like your vdo regarding Canon EOS R7, It's simply great & you had explained in a very easy language. One question I want to ask you i.e. whether Canon R7 can be use in low light & in uncontrolled light conditions. Awaiting for your reply. Arun 🇮🇳
Looks quite nice but I am a bit disappointed that the option to add a battery grip is not possible with the R7. I find the grip makes the camera much more ergonomic and the addition of rear controls for vertical shooting is helpful; a battery grip also balances the camera better when hand holding long telephoto lenses. And of course having the extra battery is a plus when you are out all day shooting and using all the extra things like IS and Servo focus which add to the battery load.
That is true, but I am 100% sure Canon or someone aftermarket will bring out a battery grip for the R7. The battery actually lasts the whole day, and if you only take photos of what you want, over 600 photos per outing is plenty. Lets hope that grip comes out soon….
Many thanks for this video, the information about the model. I am very thankful that the video exists. This is very helpful as a decision-making. I have a small question about the R7 and R10... Do they also have a sensor protector that covers the sensor when the lens is removed?
I haven't gotten a look at the bottom of the R7 anywhere... Does it appear to be able to be fitted with a battery grip? I use them on my DSLRs for long shooting sessions and so that I "only" need to carry six spares (with six other batteries in three cameras). If the R7 is power hungry like most mirrorless, I may need 2X or 3X as many batteries and spend more down time changing them out than I like! At least with a grip, batteries would only need to be swapped half as often.
A grip is a bad idea for long birding sessions hand held. The grip + 2nd battery is another 430gm you have to hold. Better to have spare batteries in your pocket.
What are your thoughts on upgrading my 7dmkII to the R7 with adapter to use my 100-400mkII. How will the sensor perform in low light conditions? Awesome video thanks
I've been using a 7Dii and 100-400ii for outdoor daylight sports for the last 3 years (shooting jpg for onsite print sales). I'd upgrade in a heart beat if I could justify the cost. I think you'll find it outperforms the 7Dii in lowlight despite the higher mp count, although not by much and the af is a game changer. Not that my opinion matters, but I'd say you can't go wrong upgrading.
Excellent review by someone who shoots every day, and guides and helps regular enthusiast photographers regularly. Have you tried the EF lenses on this camera? I particularly like the EF 70-300 II on my APS-C SLR. It is light, relatively small, has IS and a digestible price tag. Do you see your clients using this lens? Do they get good results? Other than the extra "reach" is this a better option than the "R" as a person's first "R family" camera? Craig
Hi Craig, Im using a 70-300 ef lens and it really doesnt beat the rf lenses. The glass is quite old technology and something like the 100-400 L mk2 is way better, its just very heavy. the 100-500 rf is the one, but its a bit expensive for me. An everyday lens that I have come to love is the 18-135 ef, very nice and quite sharp even in low/ish light..
Great camera, great specs but I see the buffer as the weak point. IMHO a CFE card would have solved that, at least partly... I hope you can choose the number of fps while using ES...
I am a huge advocate for two cards for people who shoot events, but people who shoot birds would probably have been better served with one fast card rather than two slow ones.
Hello Sabine. I'm a beginner and just subscribed to your channel as I find your videos very helpful, interesting and uplifting. I wonder if you might do a short video to show how best to hand hold a big zoom lens. I've just bought an older canon lens f2.8 70-200mm IS which I love but I'm not sure how to hold it! No worries if you can't. Kind regards. Amanda (England)
Just a few years ago, I would have only considered a Sony mirrorless camera, but Canon has really picked up its game. I'd prefer better memory cards and a full-frame sensor. I hear the viewfinder is not great on this one, too. Thanks for the great review.
Thank you for the super positive comments everybody...much appreciated.
I've read that Canon won't be making a battery grip for this camera. Have any of you guys heard about that? If true it's going to be a deal breaker for many people. edit*** Canon USA confirmed to me in a comment under their video they have no plans to make a grip for this camera. What an epic fail.
Hi Sabine, any plans to post "Canon R7 Settings for Wildlife" video? like you guys did for R3, R5, R6..??? looking forward to it
I am looking forward to see the full review of the canon r7 as announced
This has to be the first official video preview of the R7 and the first glimpse of the R10! Kudos to you!
It's indeed the first one.
I think they misundertood the embargo time :)) nobody else revealed the camera
As i commented, the embargo was lifted

Yes, canon makes an EF-RF adapter! It is about $100 USD without the control ring, and $200 USD with the control ring.

Nikon user here, this made me realise I don't hate the canon system, I just hate the other toxic youtubers, Lovely review by the way.
Just as I hate the toxic reviewers that just cannot pronounce Nikon. My pet peeve, acutely so. 😊
this has to be the first cannon R7 and R10 video on RUclips
It probably is with the time zone. She’s allowed to release her video. And I was just listening to canon rumor speculations about the R7 and R10 all morning
There were a couple from Canon USA by Rudy Winston, but they took them down. Accidental early release, I guess.

Does this focus in 4K ? Because I have the rp and I might sell it to get the R7
Looks a great camera so ordered one earlier to go with my 7D Mkii and 5D Mkiii, can't wait to compare the results. Thanks for your review.
Good choice!
Many thanks for this video, the information about the model. I am very thankful that the video exists. This is very helpful as a decision-making.
I have a small question about the R7 and R10... Do they also have a sensor protector that covers the sensor when the lens is removed?
I'm certain only the R7 has the sensor curtain or protector.
@@georgeewart52 Big thanks for the hint. It's very helpful for my decicion.
I haven't gotten a look at the bottom of the R7 anywhere... Does it appear to be able to be fitted with a battery grip? I use them on my DSLRs for long shooting sessions and so that I "only" need to carry six spares (with six other batteries in three cameras). If the R7 is power hungry like most mirrorless, I may need 2X or 3X as many batteries and spend more down time changing them out than I like! At least with a grip, batteries would only need to be swapped half as often.
A grip is a bad idea for long birding sessions hand held. The grip + 2nd battery is another 430gm you have to hold. Better to have spare batteries in your pocket.
Hi Sabine, great video !
Nice review. Congrats.
Glad you enjoyed it
Canon 90d vs r7 which good camera video purpos
Does it has GPS?
Thanks
Thanks alot for your Review.,,
Oops. Someone mis-scheduled their first look review video, lol. Thanks for sharing! Great review!
What are your thoughts on upgrading my 7dmkII to the R7 with adapter to use my 100-400mkII. How will the sensor perform in low light conditions? Awesome video thanks
I've been using a 7Dii and 100-400ii for outdoor daylight sports for the last 3 years (shooting jpg for onsite print sales). I'd upgrade in a heart beat if I could justify the cost. I think you'll find it outperforms the 7Dii in lowlight despite the higher mp count, although not by much and the af is a game changer. Not that my opinion matters, but I'd say you can't go wrong upgrading.
0:29 Is this 4k 60 full sensor, or the crop version?
Excellent review by someone who shoots every day, and guides and helps regular enthusiast photographers regularly. Have you tried the EF lenses on this camera? I particularly like the EF 70-300 II on my APS-C SLR. It is light, relatively small, has IS and a digestible price tag. Do you see your clients using this lens? Do they get good results?
Other than the extra "reach" is this a better option than the "R" as a person's first "R family" camera?

Hi Craig, Im using a 70-300 ef lens and it really doesnt beat the rf lenses. The glass is quite old technology and something like the 100-400 L mk2 is way better, its just very heavy. the 100-500 rf is the one, but its a bit expensive for me.
An everyday lens that I have come to love is the 18-135 ef, very nice and quite sharp even in low/ish light..
Woah. You guys are elite!!
Great camera, great specs but I see the buffer as the weak point. IMHO a CFE card would have solved that, at least partly... I hope you can choose the number of fps while using ES...
I am a huge advocate for two cards for people who shoot events, but people who shoot birds would probably have been better served with one fast card rather than two slow ones.
How does Autofocus compare with the latest Sony APS-c cameras ?
will there be a battery grip with it ?
Thank for information.
Hey, Very Soon i am gone have it and yes waiting like hell ❤❤❤
Hello Sabine. I'm a beginner and just subscribed to your channel as I find your videos very helpful, interesting and uplifting. I wonder if you might do a short video to show how best to hand hold a big zoom lens. I've just bought an older canon lens f2.8 70-200mm IS which I love but I'm not sure how to hold it! No worries if you can't. Kind regards. Amanda (England)
Ignore this. Its spam. Toby
Thank you Toby 😁
Will the full frame RF mount lenses suffer on an APSC body? I'm debating on selling my Lumix G9 and 100-400 combo and go to the OM1 or possibly this.
@Benjamin Mesa Probably gonna go OM1. That Canon sensor is old and usually gets outperformed by MFT plus the decent lenses are pretty expensive still.
Great review! Thanks!!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the review. Could you please share a CRAW raw sample from R7 and R10?
No RAW files available as this was pre production. Only jpegs. Sorry
I use canon r6 for my RUclips videos. It is fantastic camera. I love it))))💙🌛I think that r10 or r7 will fantastic cameras too for special tasks
Thank you ❤️❤️.
Good job! ALL-I or IPB recording in video ?
Great work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Just a few years ago, I would have only considered a Sony mirrorless camera, but Canon has really picked up its game. I'd prefer better memory cards and a full-frame sensor. I hear the viewfinder is not great on this one, too. Thanks for the great review.
Thanks for sharing
Does it have image stabilization?
Hows does the low resolution EVF and rear display feel compared to the R5?
@Benjamin Mesa i will find out soon enough. Just pre-ordered one 😁
R7 arrived yesterday. No issues whatsoever with lower res EVF. Can barely see the difference compared to my R5
Canon 80D or Canon R7? Which one??
The kind of R7 preview/hands on we were all looking for. Not the specs. But the experience on field.
When is the review coming?
Nice pics and brief review
Thanks 👍
Very impressed with the R7 Specs
