As a new R7 user, this is very useful. As a Mac user interested in developing my interest in video making, what software would you recommend for someone reasonably confident using Apple's iMovie software but seeking more functionality, more options? Many thanks. G.
Hello, there are really 3 options to look at for software...Final Cut Pro is a Mac only video editing software that is great and you pay a one time fee of $300-400. Adobe Premiere Pro is what I use and is available for Mac and PC but you pay a monthly subscription to use it, so it is much more expensive. My final suggestion is DaVinci Resolve and this one you can download for free and use right away and if you like it, then you can get the full studio version for $300-400. I believe Final Cut and Premiere Pro have trial versions that you can download and try before actually buying anything, so maybe try them all out and see which you prefer.
I would also include the amazing Canon EF-S 17-55 2.8 but ok. And probably avoid the 50mm 1.8s, i only enjoyed my 50mm 1.4 on full frame or older APS-C. The Crop is pretty problematic as a "normal" focal length, but its true on full frame the 50mm 1.8 or 1.4 is great The 17-55 became my goto lens on the R7 and give me even better low light performance than a 24-105mm F4 on entry level full frame (EOS RP) Btw i am not wondering there is nothing more in RF-S, thats basically canons strategy since ever, i guess a RF-S version of the 17-55 2.8 will NEVER come.
Also, some words about the RF-S 18-150. I bought my R7 at vacation for a good price so the Kit version with the 18-150 was the way to go (and sell the lens at home) I had nearly a week with the R7 and 18-150 and yeah, its GREAT (for vacation at least), no more lenses with you than the 18-150 and a pretty capable allround/hybrid body in a small form factor and light. But as soon i got home... the 18-150 was instantly replaced by my good old full frame Canon EF 28-135 IS USM, better bokeh/bigger aperture, at least as sharp as the RF-S, just worse stabilizer but i dont do too much video with it anyways (just a cheap universal lens). Its basically a "better" kit lens in terms of zoom range and is also pretty macro capable but nothing to go with for a longer time. You need/want it anyways so you get the R7 Kit or you dont need it and you can forget about it. But in the future.... if 2nd hand prices are like 80$ for the RF-S 18-150, i would probably get one again as oversized "lens cap"/always on lens again. I really love the fact that with RF lenses, the camera closes the aperture at Off position so you dont have to worry much about not using the lens cap at all when sun is shining (and R10/R7 have a PLASTIC shutter.... you dont want to burn thru)
@@ScooterMediaVideos Yeah, we Canon APS-C/RF-S Mirrorless users all hope for good glass. I really hope that the rumors are right and we see a big aperture RF-S tele prime soon, but to be honest... i lost hope in the RF-S system the day it got confirmed officially.
Gotta love that you can find anything on the internet. Searched for R7 + Sigma EF-S 30mm 1.4 Art to see what people say about that combo and sure enough people are out here on RUclips doin it 👌👌👌. Info found here is prime (pun intended)
Thank you for the video! I added almost all of these to my "wish list" 😅 If I am not using my R7 for video and only photos, would you still recommend the Sigma 18-35 with the Canon EF-EOS R Adapter with ND Filter?
I guess it depends on what you are photographing. You probably don't need the adapter with the ND Filter as much for photos, but will need the regular adapter to mount any EF or EF-S lenses. The Sigma 18-35 is a great lens with shallow depth of field, great low light performance, etc, but it is heavy and doesn't have a very long focal range. Do you already own any lenses for the R7?
If you own the Sigma 18-35mm, I wouldn't buy the 30mm f/1.4 as you already have a 30mm f/1.8 built into the zoom lens. I bought the 30mm first and got a really good deal on it but don't use it very often anymore.
Just picked up an R10 but Im using the RF 35 1.8 and RF 50 1.8 on mine. I hate APS-C lenses as they are usually poor quality optics and slow. Id prefer RF lenses over any of these options here to be honest. I also enjoy the focal length advantage. I prefer shooting my portraits at 85mm. Rather than having to pay $600 for an RF 85 f/2, the 50 f/1.8 becomes an 81mm on the R10 and it only cost me $169. Thats a win.
This combination will work well, the only thing to be aware of is that the R10 is not a full-frame camera and the RF 100-400 is a full-frame lens…therefore you will get a focal range closer to 160-640mm…which is great if you want a little extra zoom.
I agree with sigma EF 30mm and EF-S 18-35mm lenses but i would add any 70-200mm lens with imagestabliation for sport and wildlife photography. I have used macro lenses because of R7 built in focus bracketing. It really nice to take stacked macrophotos with built in camera tool. Had EF 100mm f2.8 L ISM USM but now i have RF version. Why all videos are forgetting that R7 has built in Focus bracketing when recommending lenses...
Yes I agree, however I don't own the 70-200 or the 100mm so I just based the video around lenses that I own and have used. They are also full-frame lenses and I was trying to stick with mainly aps-c lenses to match the camera and I am a videographer and not a photographer so I just use the R7 for video only. Thanks
@@ScooterMediaVideos One you should definitely check out is the RF 16mm f2.8 While a full frame lens, the low price and generally excellent performance on APS-C make it a better value and a useful wide angle prime. It also close focuses well.
Hi, Thanks for your interesting video. I recently purchased a R7 so your video came right on time for me. If I may, I have a question though. Did you have the r7 ibis working when using the sigma 30mm 1.4 lens? I’m asking because apparently a lot of third part lenses block the ibis of the r7. Thanks in advance for your advice. Kind regards. Herman(Belgium)
Hello, I have used the Sigma 30mm 1.4 lens with ibis on the R7 as well as 2 other Sigma lenses and a Tamron lens and they all work with ibis on the R7. 👍
Hey I subscribed and have been watching a ton of your videos today, I came across one while looking up Canon R7 reviews, you explain things really clear and to the point, I had a couple questions. 1. Would I be able to film Talking head videos such as this one with the R7 kit lens or would I need the rf adapter and a wider lens. 2. Do you mind doing a home podcast set up tutorial with 1 or 2 camera angles (similar to the set up you had on episode 1) Also more premiere pro tips and canon r7 filming tips would be great! Super informative! Keep up the good work!
Hello, and thanks for subscribing and watching the videos! Yes, you can shoot a talking head video using the R7 kit lens, it is wide enough that you shouldn't need a different lens. I might be able to do a podcast setup tutorial one of these days, what is it you are hoping to see? The camera setup? Different angles?
@@ScooterMediaVideos Awesome I def plan on picking up the R7 with the kit lens, regarding the podcast set up, I was thinking camera set up, lighting placement, mics, can even add in syncing and editing multi cam footage on premiere (or that could be a separate video) thanks for the quick reply my goal is to upgrade my set up and have professional video and sound
Sorry sir, great video, but you do need to correct the video a bit. Sigma 30 mm DC HSM Art when paired with r10 via adapter is very bad at sharpness and can not really autofocus on faces all that well (for uknown reason). Sigma 18-35 on the other hand is just great, had it loved it, but its too heavy. I am going to try 24mm RF lens, hopefully that one will make me happy for my still videos
The Sigma 30mm works great on the R7 with the adapter and was sharp and had no focus issues. Not sure if it's an issue with the R10 as I don't own one, or the adapter but it works great for me.
@@UhrinMichael sometimes the Sigma lenses are bad at focusing and need to be re-calibrated using the Sigma usb dock, I'm not sure if that might be the issue too. I think the R7 is definitely worth the extra money over the R10.
On the sigma 18 to 35 mm. You say it doesn’t have built-in image stabilisation, but will that affect it because the R7 already has the built in stabilisation on the body? I might just getting started into photography, so please excuse my ignorance.
The Sigma 18-35mm works great on the R7 with the built-in stabilization. Some lenses have image stabilization and can be used with the camera stabilization but you don't really need both.
Yes, the adapter is needed to use any EF or EF-S lenses on the Canon R Series cameras...R3, R5, R6, R7, R8, R10 etc. The RF or RF-S lenses will mount on those cameras without any adapter needed.
Hiii do you have any issues regarding the IBIS in conjunction with sigma 1835? Planning to get R7, but I recieved numerous report that combo dont work well..... Any thoughts?
I haven't really experienced any issues between the two however I very rarely use the IBIS. I only use the R7 for video and the only time I use the IBIS is the odd time that I am vlogging...and to be honest the Sigma 18-35mm isn't the greatest for vlogging as it is very heavy and it's not really wide enough at 18mm. However, using the Sigma 18-35mm in conjunction with the IBIS for hand-held shots works great.
The Sigma 14-24mm f2.8 will fit on the R7 with the adapter but it is a full-frame lens, meaning when you put it on the R7 it will actually be around 21-36mm.
@ScooterMediaVideos I just upgraded to the R7 a few weeks ago. I have been using the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 DC HSM Art Series lens for a few years now for astrophotography, landscapes etc. It certainly is heavy, but an awesome lens. So I can still use it on my R7 with this adapter? I don't need anything else?
Nice vid! My comment is about Lav’ mics. I wish more creators would use them, but they make them small so they can be hidden. Why bother getting rid of the big dumb mic on a stand in the shot. Gets even more ridiculous when people have the deadcat on it as well. At least that’s not distracting. Ha… well I do understand why you may be showing it and a handsome demonstration at that….. #hidethemic
This video is about lenses, the lav mics video is a few back. Ah, that sucks that you were so easily distracted by the little blue light, my kids were like that too when they were young! Hopefully the people here to check out the lenses won't be so distracted! Thanks for the comment!
@@ScooterMediaVideos sorry you took that personal. Lol. I can clearly see your video is about lenses and thus the “nice vid” comment. I’m talking in general, but your kids are wise to notice. Just a guy out here willing to do a little engagement, is all.
There are plenty of great RF lenses. APS-C lenses are mostly junk. Most all the zooms are slow kit lenses basically with inferior optics, and the few primes are decent at best. Most people use FF lenses on their crop sensor cameras. Thats why Canon only made 11 EF-S lenses in the 35 years the EF mount was around. Buy RF glass.
@@timog7358 Would you rather have a quality lens or cheap, plastic lenses with poor to average optical quality? I'll take the better quality glass every time. Canon's cameras defeat the purpose of APS-C, as they are about as big and heavy as their FF models. If you truly want small and light, go M43. R8 is too stripped down and crippled for me to pay $1,500. As long as you like it, thats all that matters. Im waiting for the RP replacement. Canon has been teasing a sub $1k FF camera for while now.
![YoungBoy Never Broke Again - Sneaking [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/1ILUps2zDFU/mqdefault.jpg)
The Sigma 50-100mm f/1.8 art and Tokina atx-i 11-20m f/2.8 are two other honorable mentions for APS-C format. Great video!
