Had the R7 since release (didn't know at the time of purchase). Was tasked with shooting at a music festival for a dance group. So the camera had to be capable of shooting action, bright light, low light, focusing on selected subjects, groups, fast focus, and most importantly, it had to be sturdy, dust and weather resistant. Had a $2000 budget and only 2 weeks get it and get familiar with it. After only 24 hours and really only looking at numbers and specs, I settled on the R7. Purchased and waited. The day after ordering, I decided to see what other people thought about the item I had basically impulse bought. There were no reviews. I was nervous for 3 days thinking I might have just screwed myself. "Oh god, nobody likes it. It's trash. Holy crap." No, it's just brand new. Finally the reviews started rolling in from nature photographers a couple of days later and they helped put me at ease a little because I was seeing what they did with animal photos and I figured it would translate well. Well, here we are almost a year later and it's still my go to for shooting the dance team and it has become my go to for wildlife photography. It is amazing and not just for the price. Mind you, I'm still a mid-level photographer so my skills are not refined, but this thing gave me a reason to start pushing myself to be better. Great review and definitely something I recommend.
Hey Luke! Thanks for sharing, I know the feeling of second guessing yourself. Glad it’s worked out for you! I was really impressed with everything it offers. I’m still on the canon r6, probably would’ve invested in the r7 if I had aps-c glass. Thanks for watching!
Yup. New cameras too fast!! But honesty, I think I might compare it to my R6 or R6ii since its a full frame sensor as well and I want to see if you "need" the more expensive cams, or if the R8 can compare!
Your INFO helped me finally decide that I will have R7. Especially your Low light video with 12000 ISO. I would say, 32 Megapixel is great for cropping and that is needed. I am for Wildlife & Portrait and R7 fits well in both with RF lenses like 24-105 F4 and 100-500mm lens. With APS-C I will have 160-800mm reach and with Viltrox speed booster I will use it like R6 but with higher MP with slightly low light capability. I am OK with that.
I've owned a 80d and really love that camera, but I upgraded to the 90d. I currently own a R7 and the 90d as a back up and will be sticking with this combo. Your really going to love the R7.
My R7 really impresses me. MUCH sharper than I ever got out of my 7D I had before ( killer AF). MUCH better IQ and focusing than my 1D3 I had before. I still dont have new lenses, but my old 400L5.6 is like a new lens on the R7. The IBIS makes a difference even on a long lens like that. At good exposure and ISO below 3200 it does well noise wise. With Darktable noise profiles and once you understand filmicRGB etc, I am really impressed with this little Canon. And what is nice is you can mix lenses and FF or CF bodies. You can use every EF lens and now the RF too. Not bothered about RF-S. Have never owned an EF-S either. Get a 16mm and use it like a 24 on the R7 or change to an R8 for 16mm landscape.
@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo It does but I think I'm gonna sell my Meike VND adapter because I can't swap the VND filter with the clean filter with my smallrig cage...
@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo Because I want to shoot with a top and side handle and I also want to mount a monitor and microphone ! I can also mount my lav wireless receiver or stuff like this
I own both and use the R6 for landscape and R7 for bird photography. I love both and like you wish there was a third wheel on the R7 like the R6. I had planned to be a real estate photographer and videographer but it hasn't worked out yet. One question on using a gimbal on the R6 for video? Do you use image stabilisation for video as I've seen on other Real Estate Photography RUclipsrs it's best not to. Im not to sure about this though. Both You Andrei Restrepo and Taylor Brown rock. Living the dream.
Hey Tony! Thanks for the comment. Sorry to hear RE photo/video hasn't worked out for you, why do you think that is? What area are you based in? I keep the camera IS on and the IS from the 15-35 lens when I'm shooting real estate on my gimbal. Mostly because my Ronin-S still gets some jitters and the IS helps get rid of those. Lately I've been using the new DJI RS3 Mini and the stabilization is way better so honestly probably wouldn't have to use the internal IS. Thanks for watching man!
This video was SUPER helpful man, thank you! Your notes were so helpful and what you shared did not feel biased whatsoever. I've been going back and forth between going all the way and getting the R5 (full frame) and getting the R7 (crop). This helped bring clarity to the facts that even at the lower price point for the R7, you're still getting fantastic looking results. Of course in my world, I'm looking to have a full-frame camera with full-frame lenses as well. So, thanks so much Andrei! Looking forward to watching more of your channel as a new Sub 😎
Also, totally curious what city you were shooting in this video! I'm originally from Boston and some of your shots reminded me of home, so thanks for that too! 😎📷
Hey! Glad it was helpful, appreciate it! Both cameras are great, just like you mentioned. What are you going to go with? Also, funny enough I'm on the R6 Mark II now, once I actually got to try it, it fixed a lot of the quirks the first one had. Based in HTX! Thanks for watching!
It does! Biggest deciding factor is full frame vs crop sensor and if you already are invested in any lenses! Personally for me, R6 mark ii. a sports photographer or someone that has EF-S lenses, R7 ! Thanks for watching
R7 is an amazing camera. Not just for the price point, but overall. I love mine, did plenty of research before I got it and I had the dough for a R6 or R5. But u less you are a pro, the R7 is the Bees Knees. And the kit lens it comes with (18-150) is an Ace lens for street photography. Canon hit this one out of the park in my experience. Thank for sharing your thoughts on both these models.
Definitely agree with you! I now use and r6 mark ii ironically and an R5C. If I was more of an enthusiast, I’d probably be using an R7 too. Thanks for watching!
I get what you’re saying but I’d disagree, I can see the different when retouching them especially. And in so many instances I’ve found myself cropping in a bit to re adjust the composition and having the extra MP’s help. I now use the R6 mark ii which is 24, and the R5C which is 45 and both are great images. Having a high megapixel camera has also come in great for reformatting photos for headshots too. Thanks for watching!
6:50 Why everybody show AF in R cameras (like R7) when there is only one person in frame? It's easy, camera mislays when there are for example two footballers and choose focus point randomly.
I came originally from the 550D/T3i and before a long time even the 400D. I upgraded in 2019 to the EOS RP which i loved for nearly 3 years. Best (stills) camera i ever had. As i got dedicated to wildlife and video primarily, the RP, as much i liked it and it was more than enough for the usecases (astro, general stuff, family, travel,... just EVERYTHING except video or very speedy things) was not very usable anymore, especially i missed reach with full frame and by heavy cropping with the 26MP full frame shots i lost too much details and in (4k) video it was basically useless and there was not even ANY 120 fps mode. With the R7 the RP got completely replaced, the most impressive thing about the R7 in my opinion, its at high ISO even as good (or better up to 6400) as the full frame RP. Thats when i sold the RP since i had anyways not enough reasons to keep 2 bodies as much i liked it. The EOS R7 did deep sky on telescope and i did with a basic tripod and the EOS RP landscape/milkyway shots the same time.
Hey! I think you made the right choice, I’m still super impressed by it, and yeah, the RP is a great photo camera. It definitely has the limitations you mentioned, and it was usually my go to recommendation for people that didn’t know what Mirrorless camera to invest in for Canon. But now the R7 is definitely my choice, so comparable to even my full frame R6. Thanks for watching and giving your insight!
You actually are not comparing 20 to 32, it is 20 to 83! So it may be ok if you buy new RF glass, but using older EF lenses with the adapter you may see noticeable reduction in quality because the lens just will not cope. I am working out how to get hold of an R7 to do a review using my existing lenses.
@@AndreiRestrepo the R7 is a crop sensor, if you made it full frame size it would have 83mp. As the pixels are much smaller they get less light, which is why it is more prone to noise. Only many EF lenses lack the resolution needed. I have a Canon 70-300 DO which resolves 10mp, so using it with the R7 means it will look rubbish. I have noticed that using one of my Sigma lenses on a 5D3 and a 7D2, the crop sensor image is visibly softer. I am tempted by the R7, only using crop mode on the R5 I get the same image, only with 17mp. Plenty in most cases, especially if viewed on a monitor or posted on the web.
Depends! Having used both + r6ii now, the r6 never overheated on me even for talking heads interview in 4k24. And the r6ii which is my second camera now, never overheats either. It worked well for me shooting in 4k60 since I can shoot for a good while just doing short clips for real estate work. But I'd still now lean to the r6ii. What I said about the r6ii was a bit premature and now it's pretty close to a near perfect hybrid camera. I use that with the R5C too now!
Great to see your video and thoughts - Ive been scraping by squeezing the max out of my 8 year old from new Canon 700D APSC and promsied myself an upgrade year after year but my budget doesnt allow for new lenses so I planned to upgrade to R7 plus adaptor to carry on using my EF and EFS lenses - But then R8 arrives tempted me to reconsider full frame but i think even an adaptor for EF lenses wouldnt do it justice and I worry I wont see much of a difference just because its full frame I feel like technology has narrowed things so much that perhaps the depth of field, low light capabilities of full frame are not going to be majorly obvius in side by side comparison with budget lenses so im back thinking R7 still the right one for my portrait fashion and product shoot work and especially the video will be massive update to my pixellated blurry soft HD video offering currently
Hey John! All god points there. I say you should first keep your lenses and use the RF-EF adapter and you'll be amazed. Honestly made my 3rd party lenses even better! The R7 sounds like the right move and I imagine you'll be more than happy coming from that camera. Thanks for watching!
I love my r7 and when I first shot in low light I was like why does it look so bad. When I went to edit it I was happy that it looked better than what was previewed
Hey! Yeah, me too! Is it some sort of low res preview while shooting? Glad that's the case though. Pretty impressive camera! Would definitely be using it if I had aps-c lenses. Thanks for watching!
@@AndreiRestrepo yeah it’s a good camera. I was using my bmpcc4k for weddings but I wanted something with auto focus and got the r7. I’ve been pretty impressed. Great video
Depends! Are you a nature photographer? A real estate videographer? A portrait photographer? The best lens depends on what work you’ll mostly be doing. But I’d look at the canon L series RF lenses as those will be optically best. Thanks for watching!
I have an 80D and I am super interested in just photography, no video. The R6 has been on my mind for a while and I love the low light capability and the FOV you get from full frame. In that regard, is the R6 the choice then?
Hey man! It’s definitely a great choice, especially at the price point for full frame. Have you checked out the new R8 that just came out? It’s a full frame camera that’s even more affordable and more MP’s than the R6. Part of what I think makes the R6 such a great camera is also the video features that you wouldn’t use. Also the r6 mark ii could be worth checking out too for a little more MP’s. Do you also already have aps-c glass that you would be using or upgrading to new lenses too? Thanks for watching!
@@AndreiRestrepo thank you so much for the reply! I have come to the conclusion that I’ll be getting the R6 Mk.II since it has an insanely high FPS and a nasty AF. The price difference between that and the R6 I was looking at wasn’t that much, and I really value the bonuses that the Mk.II offers up. I got the kit that comes with the R series 24mm-105mm just to get me started, but was thinking of getting some sort of wide FOV prime lens to add variety.
Great timing! I've been looking at the R7. Currently use the m50 and would like to upgrade. Did you use the same 15 - 35 on both bodies during the tests?
I don't believe the R7 photo quality is comparable with R6. I have both, if you shoot portrait, the shallow dof is huge difference. if you shoot low light huge difference.
Interesting! I found them kind of similar, but I'm sure lighting in different scenarios could make a difference for low light. Definitely true since they are different sensors, but I think you could still produce a great image even if it's cropped. Thanks for watching!
True, I didn't see it as a huge difference. It's definitely going to be less pronounced compared to full frame, but like cinema cameras that are still super 35mm, the DoF still looks good.
Thanks for the great video! I am considering replacing my RP the R6, and I mainly do portraits. Since you mentioned that R6 is your main workhorse, just wonder if you have had any random "freezing" issue that many R6 users have been reporting. Thank you!
I haven’t since the latest firmware actually! It was something I experienced here and there but after a few updates it hasn’t happened so think it’s fine now. Even when it has happened, you just have to turn the camera off and back on but yeah hasn’t happened. Thanks for watching!
So for the tests he enabled crop sensor mode on the R6 and then you say they looked just as good? But in crop mode you are throwing away a lot of pixels from the R6 thus negating any IQ gains the R6 would give you in the first place. hope i am understanding this wront
Yeah, I did do that for a few tests! You're right on what you said, but since they're different size sensors, it's hard to compare in the first place. I actually now use an R6 Mark ii & R5C. The r6 mark ii has gotten few updates and it's a great hybrid camera!
Seems very capable but not a fan of these huge bodies, I prefer the Sony APS-C form factor. After all not everybody that goes for crop sensor is a photographer and would gladly take a small body over one with "good grip"
Good point! I respect that. Funny enough I cut out a part of the video where I mentioned I don’t particularly like smaller Sony cameras because they don’t fit the hand right to me. Haha thanks for watching and your input!
And that's YOUR preference. Myself, I prefer the bigger body. I don't have to strain my grip to carry my camera around. I don't have to worry about dropping it as the grip is substantial. The body is curved & comfortable unlike the squared off form factor of the Sony.
Personally advent used the R8 myself, still with the R6! Personally I prefer full frame sensors, and the R8 looks solid. Might be might choice between the 2! I recommend to rent one and see how you like it, that's what I do for gear I'm interested in purchasing. Thanks for watching!
I am a Sports Videographer and Photographer, I mainly do basketball, but I am a F4 (24-105 and 70-200 on 90D) user and I don't know whether to go for the R6 or R7. I know the R7 is like the mirrorless twin of the 90D, but the jump for CineStyle to 10Bit Log sounds very nice, I am just really worried about the lowlight capability.
I’d say R7 for sure! More megapixels, the crop sensor gives you more reach, and the low light was probably just as good as the R6 honestly. Most likely better than the 90D for sure. Thanks for watching!
@@AndreiRestrepo No it isn't. It's even not near R6 on 3200 ISO and beyond. Don't mislead people. More pixels also is a bigger challenge for the lenses (EF70-200 2.8 won't even have a chance on R7). For indoor sports R6 will be better choice
@@groundhoppingwlkp3622 it is a completely FALSE statement "EF70-200 2.8 won't even have a chance on R7" F 2.8 allows more light than F 4. And a large MP camera needs more light. Are you a photographer? You have to ask what a Sports Videographer and Photographer means. I prefer doing daylight photography or using multiple flashes.
@@vimalneha Yes I'm photographer for over 20 years and I have R7, I had EF70-200 2.8 and now I'm using RF 70-200 F4. Resolution of EF70-200 2.8 is just too low for R7 sensor. More MP on smaller sensor means that pixels are smaller. Smaller pixesl will perform worser than bigger pixels on older optics, because all flaws will be magnified on it. "F 2.8 allows more light than F 4. And a large MP camera needs more light." - yes 2.8 allows more light, but resolution and sensor density is not related to this but with pixel size. If it would be a true statement lenses should be sharper on 2.8 than F4 or F5.6. But they are sharpest at F8 or even F11 (on APSC at F11 and higher F number diffraction limits hits hard).
@@vimalneha "You have to ask what a Sports Videographer and Photographer means. I prefer doing daylight photography or using multiple flashes." - On most of indoor sports events using flash is banned so you're just trolling :P
Nice! I didn't have it long enough to test tit out against my R6 for longer shoot times. If I wasn't invested in all full frame glass, I'd defiantly consider it for my work. Thanks for watching!
@@AndreiRestrepo Photos highlighting variety of events we engage in with customers, the creativity of the events and for use on promoting future repeats of event types! Thanks so much for taking the time.
Gotcha! Then no, I wouldn’t say full frame is critical for that. R7 could do the job, or even possibly the new more affordable full frame R8 that just came out as well!
@@AndreiRestrepo R8 has no IBIS, so for low light conditions with rather not fast objects (people on conferences mostly are sitting ;)) is not a best choice. Just take R6, APSC indoors also could be a pain in the back, especially that there are no so many ultra-wide lenses on the market for RF system
That's another great video.Congrats. I come from the Alpha 99 and I'm thinking about the R7 Do your think that the 24-105 f. 4 usm could be a good choice ? (I never make any video and in photography I'm in portrait most of the time )
Thanks so much! Appreciate it. The 24-105 would be a great lens, the only thing to note is it would really be like a 38-168mm (1.6x crop). So on one hand you would get as wide, but you would get a lot more zoom out if it. Haven’t used that lens but hear great things about people who have one!
Great video Andrei! Thanks for the valuable info as always. I currently have a Canon rebel t7i and the low light performance is not great. I was thinking about upgrading to the R6 because I do see value in a full frame camera. What would be your suggestion?
I think that’s a great move, you’ll definitely be very impressed! Especially in the low light performance compared to yours. I’m selling my R6 if you’re potentially interested, works perfect just upgrading.
Ok how about an upgrade from m50mk2 and m6mk2 and 5dmk3, they were all stolen so I'm trying to buy my first replacement body. I had only gotten into the M system a little over a year ago because of the outrageous cost of RF glass
Hey, sorry to hear that! I would invest in a preowned EOS-R or one of the newer mirrorless cameras like the r8 or r10, an get preowned EF glass, like a 16-35 f/4 IS is probably like $600-$800 preowned and used it for years. You can use older EF glass on the R's with the adapter and they work great, honestly better than they did on DSLR's. Check out mpb.com, that's where I get all my used gear from
@AndreiRestrepo Why an R or R8 or R10 instead of the R7? The R was the very first Canon mirrorless, correct? And neither the R8 or R10 have ibis, do they? And the R7, R6, and R5 all use the same battery don't they? I really thought the R7 was going to be the smart buy, what am I missing? Canon really doesn't have a small body like the M6Mk2 in their line now do they? I also lost my best favorite EF lens a 24-70mk2 with the 5DMk3
Hey! When I’ve used the crop mode on the R6, it’s about 8-9 megapixel photos. They’re okay, but you can definitely tell a difference compared to the full 20mp.
7:15 Guy don't have even a clue what he is talking about. 32 mpx sensor in R7 is way more demanding from lenses than 20 mpx in R6. So you can put quite cheap optics from EF like 85 1.8, 135 F2 or even 55-250 zoom and it will perform well. What happens if you put them on R7? They won't be sharp. Also you will see tons of chromatic abberation. I had sell my EF 70-200 2.8 and buy RF 70-200 F4 because EF was softer than on 7d2 (20 mpx!) and had CA almost everywhere. So - you have funds for the best new RF optics? Sure, buy R7. If not R6 will be better option.
do you think you can vlog on r7? I tried it with 18-150mm lens, and even for who have long arms, I had to keep my arms all the way out, which would not fit vlogging.
What gimbal did you use in the video? I’m mostly shooting youth sports for instagram video/swimming baseball/funny videos. Need mobility in shooting. Coming from Rebel series but want serious video capability to make higher quality RUclips and Instagram video. An upgrade from iPhone.
I think either of these would get the job done for sure! At the time, I was using the Ronin-S, still a great gimbal but pretty heavy compared to newer versions. Now I use the DJI RS3 Mini with my R6, works great and much lighter! amzn.to/3MGhNdP
Really considering getting the R7, currently have an A7iii. My ONLY concern is the crop sensor vs full frame, should I even worry about that at this point??
If you aren’t invested in canon full frame glass already, then crop sensor would be fine! Also just depends on the type of work you do. But both are great options now!
What specific lens would you recommend for wide shots on the R7 for real estate videography? And, would you use a different lens for the details shots? 🤷🏻♂
Hey! This is the lens I started with when I had a crop sensor camera. amzn.to/407Hh7O not sure if they’ve made an ultrawide RF EF-S lens yet. And for details, I’d use a nifty fifty! Like the 50mm RF 1.8 amzn.to/41zeV7I
Hey! Depends on the type of lenses you already own and the type of work you do. The biggest difference being the r7 is apsc sensor so it will crop in on your full frame lenses. But as far as performance from each camera, super comparable!
@@AndreiRestrepo well I want to get a no record limit camera I have a canon m50 that I mainly use had a Sony a6400 but sold it a few months later since I had to buy a lot of lenses if I wanted to switch to Sony but I do want a FF camera too was thinking the R5 but that’s a lot of money and I mostly do it as a hobby so I’m debating if I should get a R6 M2 or a R7 and based on that I’ll get a 15-35 or 24-70 fr lens but then again there’s other alternatives like ef/Efs lens that have a lower f stop and see about the same focal length Main things I want to shoot are real estate,portraits,concerts/shows(very low light) What would be the best option?
Gotcha! Yeah, sounds like either the r6 or mark ii or r7 would be the best choice. The 15-35 is a phenomenal lens, and I’ve used the 24-70 as well, great. If you invest in those, I’d go with one of the r6’s. But I know canon is now coming out with more EF-S RF lenses so might be worth checking out as well and save a bit with the R7. Also - R7 & R6 mark I have no record limits, R6 I does
@@AndreiRestrepo yeah exactly that’s why I was debating between these two but don’t know which would be best one has 32.5mp and the other doesn’t but since it’s a cropped sensor wouldn’t it basically gave the same results?
The photos are pretty comparable even with the 10+ MP difference. Like for me primarily doing real estate and lifestyle/social media work, the full frame 20mp sensor is perfect for me. I’d rent both ti see which you like better!
Hey! So I had the camera stabilization on, but my 85mm doesn’t have lens stabilization. Maybe it was just too cold and we were shaky 😆 also extra zoomed in because of the apsc sensor. Thanks for watching!
Yes, it shoots clog3 cinema gamut just like the r6! Just have to turn on canon log and select those options, best log settings in my opinion. I believe canon log is the first main menu, and then one of the sub menus after that, but don’t remember exactly since I don’t have the r7 now
Hello, I currently have the Canon 90D and have been looking into the 6D and 7D. I probably plan on keeping my EF lenses and buying the RF adapter but would also consider getting regular RF lenses if it helps with quality. Do you think the full frame would be worth the few extra bucks? I'll be filming a bunch of low light car/motorcycle edits but I'd primarily be using it for action photography such as motocross and mountain biking type stuff.
Thanks! I’d say keep your EF glass and use the adapter, works perfect with the adapter. Maybe eventually upgrade to RF but I wouldn’t immediately. You said you’re looking at the 6D or 7d, do you mean the mirrorless r6 or r7? I’d also recommend full frame for better low light performance! Thanks for watching
@@AndreiRestrepo r6 and r7 sorry. I went to the camera store yesterday and found out my sigma DC 18-235mm is not compatible with full frame, yes with the adapter. It has to be DG. So if I go full frame I'd have to find something to replace it. I couldn't find anything from Canon, sigma, or tamron..
Hi Andrei, I need your advice ☺️ I want to buy a new camera (I just have an old 550D) and I would like to switch to mirrorless either R7 or r6 (maybe r10 would be ok too, I don’t know) I’m not professional but I would like to do pet photography. Could you recommend me what camera will be best for that? And the lens? (I’m not much into video, mostly photography) thank you ☺️🙏🏻
Hey! I think possibly the R10 would be the best investment, as it'd the most affordable but still sounds like it does more than plenty. I'd also invest in the 50mm 1.8 lens that would be perfect for pet portrait style work! If you can afford a little more, then the R8 would be the next camera I would look at because it's full frame. Thanks for watching!
It actually isn’t, almost did that though! Instead, I invested in a R5C and made the r6mk2 my b cam. 🤙🏻 but that would be a great combo because then you would have 2 cameras that are pretty much the same but the flexibility of adding a crop sensor body with your lenses too
Dear Andrei 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 since my old 70-200 F2.8mm will not be in use for both? Thank you.
Hey! I think mainly for sports photography, you’d benefit more from the R7, especially because the 1.6x sensor will give you the same extra reach on your 70-200 like the 7D. And the higher megapixel count would be great for that too!
I had 7d2 and now I have R7. For me it was a DOWNGRADE. EF lenses on such demanding sensor aren't as sharp as on 7d2 were, so I had to buy RF lenses. Electronic shutter has got huge issue with rolling shutter, and mechanical shutter jamms in my R7 randomly on 15 FPS mode. Also indoors you can get epilepsy through viewfinder. Of course you can turn on antiflicker mode, but after that say goodbye to wifi mode... Build quality in comparison to 7d2 is also a big downgrade, R7 is like plasticky toy. So if you really want mirrorless go to R6/R5 (they have also issues like rolling shutter, but lower density of theirs sensors won't kill your older lenses). About lenses - currently I use EF16-35 F4 L and RF 70-200 F4 L - they are sharp enough for R7, but EF16-35 2.8 L, EF 70-200 2.8 non IS and EF 135 F2 L were pretty poor on that sensor.
@@AndreiRestrepo thanks for your reply. My only worry is that with the R7 (cropped) i will have the same optical view as my 7Dii whereas a full frame as R6 ii will capture wider view in closer space, 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?
In that case, then I agree - R6 ii! I thought you wanted to the same field of view from your camera which why I said that. You’ll really love the look of full frame if your zoom lens is long enough on a full frame for your needs.
Hello. I already have a Canon R. Do you think canon r7 is a good option as a complement to don full frame??? I mainly shoot landscapes, macro and animals. maybe sports and video??? in the future I think canon R to replace with something better.
Hey! Hmm, good question. My friend Taylor that was in the video also has a Canon R. The photo quality between the two is very similar, but the video capabilities in the R7 are wayyy better. You'd also benefit of your full frame glass zooming in more on the r7 crop sensor. I would rent it first and see how you like it. Thanks for watching!
I don't get it, why people complain about having to turn the dial on the R6 to get to video mode. It's right next to C3 setting of the camera, so why not just use the C3 setting instead of manual or Av or Tv, or whatever regime you're usually using?
I’ve tried using the C modes, but it’s not ideal since it resets back to the custom settings you input each time. And I won’t use anything other than Manual since I want full control on the settings I want to use, not what the camera thinks is best. So someone like me that typically does photo+video on the same camera, the switch on the R6ii has been great, but might not be as important for someone else. Thanks for watching!
Had the R7 since release (didn't know at the time of purchase). Was tasked with shooting at a music festival for a dance group. So the camera had to be capable of shooting action, bright light, low light, focusing on selected subjects, groups, fast focus, and most importantly, it had to be sturdy, dust and weather resistant. Had a $2000 budget and only 2 weeks get it and get familiar with it. After only 24 hours and really only looking at numbers and specs, I settled on the R7. Purchased and waited. The day after ordering, I decided to see what other people thought about the item I had basically impulse bought. There were no reviews. I was nervous for 3 days thinking I might have just screwed myself. "Oh god, nobody likes it. It's trash. Holy crap." No, it's just brand new. Finally the reviews started rolling in from nature photographers a couple of days later and they helped put me at ease a little because I was seeing what they did with animal photos and I figured it would translate well. Well, here we are almost a year later and it's still my go to for shooting the dance team and it has become my go to for wildlife photography. It is amazing and not just for the price. Mind you, I'm still a mid-level photographer so my skills are not refined, but this thing gave me a reason to start pushing myself to be better.
Great review and definitely something I recommend.
Hey Luke! Thanks for sharing, I know the feeling of second guessing yourself. Glad it’s worked out for you! I was really impressed with everything it offers. I’m still on the canon r6, probably would’ve invested in the r7 if I had aps-c glass. Thanks for watching!
Had a similar experience.. thx for sharing
Now we need R7 vs R8!
Yup. New cameras too fast!! But honesty, I think I might compare it to my R6 or R6ii since its a full frame sensor as well and I want to see if you "need" the more expensive cams, or if the R8 can compare!
Your INFO helped me finally decide that I will have R7. Especially your Low light video with 12000 ISO. I would say, 32 Megapixel is great for cropping and that is needed. I am for Wildlife & Portrait and R7 fits well in both with RF lenses like 24-105 F4 and 100-500mm lens. With APS-C I will have 160-800mm reach and with Viltrox speed booster I will use it like R6 but with higher MP with slightly low light capability. I am OK with that.
Hey Vimal! Great to hear, glad it was valuable! Yes, that’s a good choice. 👌🏻
Gonna be upgrading soon from my beloved 80D to the R7.
That’s going to be a niceeee upgrade! I’ve seen people going from an 80D to the R7 and love it. Thanks for watching!
I've owned a 80d and really love that camera, but I upgraded to the 90d. I currently own a R7 and the 90d as a back up and will be sticking with this combo. Your really going to love the R7.
Amazing comparison !! I wish Canon release more RF-S lenses for R7 and R10. The only downside for these cameras is the lacking of native lenses 😢
Thanks so much! I know, from what I hear those are on the way, probably more will be released this year. Thanks for watching!
My R7 really impresses me. MUCH sharper than I ever got out of my 7D I had before ( killer AF). MUCH better IQ and focusing than my 1D3 I had before. I still dont have new lenses, but my old 400L5.6 is like a new lens on the R7. The IBIS makes a difference even on a long lens like that. At good exposure and ISO below 3200 it does well noise wise. With Darktable noise profiles and once you understand filmicRGB etc, I am really impressed with this little Canon. And what is nice is you can mix lenses and FF or CF bodies. You can use every EF lens and now the RF too. Not bothered about RF-S. Have never owned an EF-S either. Get a 16mm and use it like a 24 on the R7 or change to an R8 for 16mm landscape.
It’s definitely a pretty impressive camera! Nothing short of impressed with it when I did this video with it.
Would love to see an R7 vs R8 or even an R7 vs R10 video!
Thanks! Not sure if I'll be able to make one. Only reason I was able to compare these was because Taylor rented it and I own the r6!
Wow wasn't expeting to find this video! I'm an architech and I'm looking to upgrade my old t3i and come to your video! Great one bro!
Hey Joao! Thanks so much for the feedback. Nice! I started on a t5i, this would be a great upgrade!
The R7 looks like such a sweet backup cam!
It worked pretty great with the Sigma 18-35 and VND adapter!
Thanks for checking it out Tyler! Definitely. Like Taylor mentioned, it was such a solid setup with the sigma 18-35.
@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo It does but I think I'm gonna sell my Meike VND adapter because I can't swap the VND filter with the clean filter with my smallrig cage...
@@nordweststudio Bummer! What do you use the cage for?
@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo Because I want to shoot with a top and side handle and I also want to mount a monitor and microphone ! I can also mount my lav wireless receiver or stuff like this
I own both and use the R6 for landscape and R7 for bird photography. I love both and like you wish there was a third wheel on the R7 like the R6. I had planned to be a real estate photographer and videographer but it hasn't worked out yet. One question on using a gimbal on the R6 for video? Do you use image stabilisation for video as I've seen on other Real Estate Photography RUclipsrs it's best not to. Im not to sure about this though. Both You Andrei Restrepo and Taylor Brown rock. Living the dream.
Hey Tony! Thanks for the comment. Sorry to hear RE photo/video hasn't worked out for you, why do you think that is? What area are you based in?
I keep the camera IS on and the IS from the 15-35 lens when I'm shooting real estate on my gimbal. Mostly because my Ronin-S still gets some jitters and the IS helps get rid of those. Lately I've been using the new DJI RS3 Mini and the stabilization is way better so honestly probably wouldn't have to use the internal IS.
Thanks for watching man!
This video was SUPER helpful man, thank you! Your notes were so helpful and what you shared did not feel biased whatsoever.
I've been going back and forth between going all the way and getting the R5 (full frame) and getting the R7 (crop). This helped bring clarity to the facts that even at the lower price point for the R7, you're still getting fantastic looking results. Of course in my world, I'm looking to have a full-frame camera with full-frame lenses as well. So, thanks so much Andrei! Looking forward to watching more of your channel as a new Sub 😎
Also, totally curious what city you were shooting in this video! I'm originally from Boston and some of your shots reminded me of home, so thanks for that too! 😎📷
Hey! Glad it was helpful, appreciate it! Both cameras are great, just like you mentioned. What are you going to go with? Also, funny enough I'm on the R6 Mark II now, once I actually got to try it, it fixed a lot of the quirks the first one had. Based in HTX! Thanks for watching!
R7 kills it, i’m thinking about gettin it. but R7 or R6 mark ii ?
It does! Biggest deciding factor is full frame vs crop sensor and if you already are invested in any lenses! Personally for me, R6 mark ii. a sports photographer or someone that has EF-S lenses, R7 ! Thanks for watching
R7 is an amazing camera. Not just for the price point, but overall. I love mine, did plenty of research before I got it and I had the dough for a R6 or R5. But u less you are a pro, the R7 is the Bees Knees. And the kit lens it comes with (18-150) is an Ace lens for street photography. Canon hit this one out of the park in my experience. Thank for sharing your thoughts on both these models.
Definitely agree with you! I now use and r6 mark ii ironically and an R5C. If I was more of an enthusiast, I’d probably be using an R7 too. Thanks for watching!
Really helpful, thanks.

Thanks so much, appreciate it!
megapixel count does not matter at all. Even 12MP is not distinguishable from 32MP. The ONLY benefit of high megapixels is cropping.
I get what you’re saying but I’d disagree, I can see the different when retouching them especially. And in so many instances I’ve found myself cropping in a bit to re adjust the composition and having the extra MP’s help. I now use the R6 mark ii which is 24, and the R5C which is 45 and both are great images. Having a high megapixel camera has also come in great for reformatting photos for headshots too. Thanks for watching!
6:50 Why everybody show AF in R cameras (like R7) when there is only one person in frame? It's easy, camera mislays when there are for example two footballers and choose focus point randomly.
Sure, I get your point. Simply because I normally just shoot one subject and not sports. Thanks for your feedback and for watching!
I came originally from the 550D/T3i and before a long time even the 400D. I upgraded in 2019 to the EOS RP which i loved for nearly 3 years. Best (stills) camera i ever had.
As i got dedicated to wildlife and video primarily, the RP, as much i liked it and it was more than enough for the usecases (astro, general stuff, family, travel,... just EVERYTHING except video or very speedy things) was not very usable anymore, especially i missed reach with full frame and by heavy cropping with the 26MP full frame shots i lost too much details and in (4k) video it was basically useless and there was not even ANY 120 fps mode.
With the R7 the RP got completely replaced, the most impressive thing about the R7 in my opinion, its at high ISO even as good (or better up to 6400) as the full frame RP. Thats when i sold the RP since i had anyways not enough reasons to keep 2 bodies as much i liked it. The EOS R7 did deep sky on telescope and i did with a basic tripod and the EOS RP landscape/milkyway shots the same time.
Hey! I think you made the right choice, I’m still super impressed by it, and yeah, the RP is a great photo camera. It definitely has the limitations you mentioned, and it was usually my go to recommendation for people that didn’t know what Mirrorless camera to invest in for Canon. But now the R7 is definitely my choice, so comparable to even my full frame R6. Thanks for watching and giving your insight!
You actually are not comparing 20 to 32, it is 20 to 83! So it may be ok if you buy new RF glass, but using older EF lenses with the adapter you may see noticeable reduction in quality because the lens just will not cope. I am working out how to get hold of an R7 to do a review using my existing lenses.
Hey! Can you explain more on the R7 being 83mp vs 32mp? Thanks for watching!
@@AndreiRestrepo the R7 is a crop sensor, if you made it full frame size it would have 83mp. As the pixels are much smaller they get less light, which is why it is more prone to noise. Only many EF lenses lack the resolution needed. I have a Canon 70-300 DO which resolves 10mp, so using it with the R7 means it will look rubbish. I have noticed that using one of my Sigma lenses on a 5D3 and a 7D2, the crop sensor image is visibly softer. I am tempted by the R7, only using crop mode on the R5 I get the same image, only with 17mp. Plenty in most cases, especially if viewed on a monitor or posted on the web.
Thanks for clarifying! Got it. 👍🏻
From what people have said that the R6 if you do videos for up to 45 minutes it does overheat
Depends! Having used both + r6ii now, the r6 never overheated on me even for talking heads interview in 4k24. And the r6ii which is my second camera now, never overheats either. It worked well for me shooting in 4k60 since I can shoot for a good while just doing short clips for real estate work. But I'd still now lean to the r6ii. What I said about the r6ii was a bit premature and now it's pretty close to a near perfect hybrid camera. I use that with the R5C too now!
So, which one will be better for bird photography, bif, shooting in the woods, some landscapes and some portraits, which one will be more versatile?
I think the R7! Especially if you put a full frame lens on the R7, it will get you even more reach because of the 1.6x crop.
@@AndreiRestrepo Thanks !:)
I believe the r6 is better in low light because of this full frame but I’m kinda feeling the r7 for my second camera 😬
I believe so too! Funny enough, I now use the R6 Mark ii and it’s great. Thanks for watching!
Great to see your video and thoughts - Ive been scraping by squeezing the max out of my 8 year old from new Canon 700D APSC and promsied myself an upgrade year after year but my budget doesnt allow for new lenses so I planned to upgrade to R7 plus adaptor to carry on using my EF and EFS lenses - But then R8 arrives tempted me to reconsider full frame but i think even an adaptor for EF lenses wouldnt do it justice and I worry I wont see much of a difference just because its full frame I feel like technology has narrowed things so much that perhaps the depth of field, low light capabilities of full frame are not going to be majorly obvius in side by side comparison with budget lenses so im back thinking R7 still the right one for my portrait fashion and product shoot work and especially the video will be massive update to my pixellated blurry soft HD video offering currently
Hey John! All god points there. I say you should first keep your lenses and use the RF-EF adapter and you'll be amazed. Honestly made my 3rd party lenses even better! The R7 sounds like the right move and I imagine you'll be more than happy coming from that camera. Thanks for watching!
@@AndreiRestrepo appreciate the feedback!
I love my r7 and when I first shot in low light I was like why does it look so bad. When I went to edit it I was happy that it looked better than what was previewed
Hey! Yeah, me too! Is it some sort of low res preview while shooting? Glad that's the case though. Pretty impressive camera! Would definitely be using it if I had aps-c lenses. Thanks for watching!
@@AndreiRestrepo yeah it’s a good camera. I was using my bmpcc4k for weddings but I wanted something with auto focus and got the r7. I’ve been pretty impressed. Great video
Nice! I love the Blackmagic’s, especially the 6K Pro. Rented one for a project at the end of last year. Thanks so much!
best lenses for R7? im ordering it now. best 3 lenses for quality
Depends! Are you a nature photographer? A real estate videographer? A portrait photographer? The best lens depends on what work you’ll mostly be doing. But I’d look at the canon L series RF lenses as those will be optically best. Thanks for watching!
@@AndreiRestrepo vlogging
Get an adapter and get ef lenses!
Nice video ! Did you shot clog3 the lowlight test?
Thanks! Yup, clog3 cinema gamut and just using canons conversion lut !
I have an 80D and I am super interested in just photography, no video. The R6 has been on my mind for a while and I love the low light capability and the FOV you get from full frame. In that regard, is the R6 the choice then?
Hey man! It’s definitely a great choice, especially at the price point for full frame. Have you checked out the new R8 that just came out? It’s a full frame camera that’s even more affordable and more MP’s than the R6. Part of what I think makes the R6 such a great camera is also the video features that you wouldn’t use. Also the r6 mark ii could be worth checking out too for a little more MP’s. Do you also already have aps-c glass that you would be using or upgrading to new lenses too? Thanks for watching!
@@AndreiRestrepo thank you so much for the reply! I have come to the conclusion that I’ll be getting the R6 Mk.II since it has an insanely high FPS and a nasty AF. The price difference between that and the R6 I was looking at wasn’t that much, and I really value the bonuses that the Mk.II offers up. I got the kit that comes with the R series 24mm-105mm just to get me started, but was thinking of getting some sort of wide FOV prime lens to add variety.
Nice! That’s a highly rated lens so you have a pretty solid setup ready to go!
Great timing! I've been looking at the R7. Currently use the m50 and would like to upgrade. Did you use the same 15 - 35 on both bodies during the tests?
Nice! That would be a great upgrade. Yes, I either used my 15-35 or the sigma 18-35 on both in a few tests.
@@AndreiRestrepo Thanks for the response!
My face when you and I are the same person lmao, moving from an M50 too
Good review. I'm wondering if the r10 would suffice.
Thanks! Depending on the work you do, definitely probably would be. Thanks for watching!
I don't believe the R7 photo quality is comparable with R6. I have both, if you shoot portrait, the shallow dof is huge difference. if you shoot low light huge difference.
Interesting! I found them kind of similar, but I'm sure lighting in different scenarios could make a difference for low light. Definitely true since they are different sensors, but I think you could still produce a great image even if it's cropped. Thanks for watching!
you did not touch the DoF difference, for photo and video.
True, I didn't see it as a huge difference. It's definitely going to be less pronounced compared to full frame, but like cinema cameras that are still super 35mm, the DoF still looks good.
Thanks for the great video! I am considering replacing my RP the R6, and I mainly do portraits. Since you mentioned that R6 is your main workhorse, just wonder if you have had any random "freezing" issue that many R6 users have been reporting. Thank you!
I haven’t since the latest firmware actually! It was something I experienced here and there but after a few updates it hasn’t happened so think it’s fine now. Even when it has happened, you just have to turn the camera off and back on but yeah hasn’t happened. Thanks for watching!
@@AndreiRestrepo Thank you so much! I appreciate your quick reply.
So for the tests he enabled crop sensor mode on the R6 and then you say they looked just as good? But in crop mode you are throwing away a lot of pixels from the R6 thus negating any IQ gains the R6 would give you in the first place.
hope i am understanding this wront
Yeah, I did do that for a few tests! You're right on what you said, but since they're different size sensors, it's hard to compare in the first place. I actually now use an R6 Mark ii & R5C. The r6 mark ii has gotten few updates and it's a great hybrid camera!
Seems very capable but not a fan of these huge bodies, I prefer the Sony APS-C form factor. After all not everybody that goes for crop sensor is a photographer and would gladly take a small body over one with "good grip"
Good point! I respect that. Funny enough I cut out a part of the video where I mentioned I don’t particularly like smaller Sony cameras because they don’t fit the hand right to me. Haha thanks for watching and your input!
And that's YOUR preference. Myself, I prefer the bigger body. I don't have to strain my grip to carry my camera around. I don't have to worry about dropping it as the grip is substantial. The body is curved & comfortable unlike the squared off form factor of the Sony.
Great review.. thx
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching
A switch for video mode....! I have to press Mode then info... R5 life is gansta like that... yeah not making that up.
Haha nice. Now using the r6 mark ii, I love having a dedicated photo/video switch. Just never had that on previous cameras. Thanks for watching
Which is best R7 or R8
Personally advent used the R8 myself, still with the R6! Personally I prefer full frame sensors, and the R8 looks solid. Might be might choice between the 2! I recommend to rent one and see how you like it, that's what I do for gear I'm interested in purchasing. Thanks for watching!
I am a Sports Videographer and Photographer, I mainly do basketball, but I am a F4 (24-105 and 70-200 on 90D) user and I don't know whether to go for the R6 or R7. I know the R7 is like the mirrorless twin of the 90D, but the jump for CineStyle to 10Bit Log sounds very nice, I am just really worried about the lowlight capability.
I’d say R7 for sure! More megapixels, the crop sensor gives you more reach, and the low light was probably just as good as the R6 honestly. Most likely better than the 90D for sure. Thanks for watching!
@@AndreiRestrepo No it isn't. It's even not near R6 on 3200 ISO and beyond. Don't mislead people. More pixels also is a bigger challenge for the lenses (EF70-200 2.8 won't even have a chance on R7). For indoor sports R6 will be better choice
@@groundhoppingwlkp3622 it is a completely FALSE statement "EF70-200 2.8 won't even have a chance on R7"
F 2.8 allows more light than F 4. And a large MP camera needs more light. Are you a photographer?
You have to ask what a Sports Videographer and Photographer means. I prefer doing daylight photography or using multiple flashes.
@@vimalneha Yes I'm photographer for over 20 years and I have R7, I had EF70-200 2.8 and now I'm using RF 70-200 F4. Resolution of EF70-200 2.8 is just too low for R7 sensor. More MP on smaller sensor means that pixels are smaller. Smaller pixesl will perform worser than bigger pixels on older optics, because all flaws will be magnified on it. "F 2.8 allows more light than F 4. And a large MP camera needs more light." - yes 2.8 allows more light, but resolution and sensor density is not related to this but with pixel size. If it would be a true statement lenses should be sharper on 2.8 than F4 or F5.6. But they are sharpest at F8 or even F11 (on APSC at F11 and higher F number diffraction limits hits hard).
@@vimalneha "You have to ask what a Sports Videographer and Photographer means. I prefer doing daylight photography or using multiple flashes." - On most of indoor sports events using flash is banned so you're just trolling :P
R7 is doing much better for overheating issues than R6. And R7 is smaller and compact like most Sony bodies to carry around outdoors.
Nice! I didn't have it long enough to test tit out against my R6 for longer shoot times. If I wasn't invested in all full frame glass, I'd defiantly consider it for my work. Thanks for watching!
For corporate conferences and expo halls - would you say full frame is critical?
Hey! Hmm, for photography or videography? What kind of final deliverables are you talking about to better answer you?
@@AndreiRestrepo Photos highlighting variety of events we engage in with customers, the creativity of the events and for use on promoting future repeats of event types! Thanks so much for taking the time.
Gotcha! Then no, I wouldn’t say full frame is critical for that. R7 could do the job, or even possibly the new more affordable full frame R8 that just came out as well!
@@AndreiRestrepo R8 has no IBIS, so for low light conditions with rather not fast objects (people on conferences mostly are sitting ;)) is not a best choice. Just take R6, APSC indoors also could be a pain in the back, especially that there are no so many ultra-wide lenses on the market for RF system
That's another great video.Congrats.
I come from the Alpha 99 and I'm thinking about the R7 Do your think that the 24-105 f. 4 usm could be a good choice ? (I never make any video and in photography I'm in portrait most of the time )
Thanks so much! Appreciate it. The 24-105 would be a great lens, the only thing to note is it would really be like a 38-168mm (1.6x crop). So on one hand you would get as wide, but you would get a lot more zoom out if it. Haven’t used that lens but hear great things about people who have one!
@@AndreiRestrepo Thanks a lot for your help.
Keep going the good work with this channel !
Great video Andrei! Thanks for the valuable info as always. I currently have a Canon rebel t7i and the low light performance is not great. I was thinking about upgrading to the R6 because I do see value in a full frame camera. What would be your suggestion?
I think that’s a great move, you’ll definitely be very impressed! Especially in the low light performance compared to yours. I’m selling my R6 if you’re potentially interested, works perfect just upgrading.
@@AndreiRestrepo That is what I was thinking. Oh really? Yes, I would be interested. How can I find out more information?
send me an email! hello@andreirestrepo.com
Ok how about an upgrade from m50mk2 and m6mk2 and 5dmk3, they were all stolen so I'm trying to buy my first replacement body. I had only gotten into the M system a little over a year ago because of the outrageous cost of RF glass
Hey, sorry to hear that! I would invest in a preowned EOS-R or one of the newer mirrorless cameras like the r8 or r10, an get preowned EF glass, like a 16-35 f/4 IS is probably like $600-$800 preowned and used it for years. You can use older EF glass on the R's with the adapter and they work great, honestly better than they did on DSLR's. Check out mpb.com, that's where I get all my used gear from
@AndreiRestrepo Why an R or R8 or R10 instead of the R7? The R was the very first Canon mirrorless, correct? And neither the R8 or R10 have ibis, do they? And the R7, R6, and R5 all use the same battery don't they? I really thought the R7 was going to be the smart buy, what am I missing? Canon really doesn't have a small body like the M6Mk2 in their line now do they? I also lost my best favorite EF lens a 24-70mk2 with the 5DMk3
Hey, I gotta m50mk2, m6mk2, and a 5dmk3 for sale if anyone is interested.
Hi Andrei, Can you help me understand what will be the resolution on the R6 if we use it in crop mode with EF-S lenses?
Hey! When I’ve used the crop mode on the R6, it’s about 8-9 megapixel photos. They’re okay, but you can definitely tell a difference compared to the full 20mp.
7:15 Guy don't have even a clue what he is talking about. 32 mpx sensor in R7 is way more demanding from lenses than 20 mpx in R6. So you can put quite cheap optics from EF like 85 1.8, 135 F2 or even 55-250 zoom and it will perform well. What happens if you put them on R7? They won't be sharp. Also you will see tons of chromatic abberation. I had sell my EF 70-200 2.8 and buy RF 70-200 F4 because EF was softer than on 7d2 (20 mpx!) and had CA almost everywhere. So - you have funds for the best new RF optics? Sure, buy R7. If not R6 will be better option.
Hey! Thanks for the feedback and your input.
So good!
Thanks dood, fun times!!
do you think you can vlog on r7? I tried it with 18-150mm lens, and even for who have long arms, I had to keep my arms all the way out, which would not fit vlogging.
Totally can! I think you would need a 10-12mm lens to comfortably vlog with it!
Good Video Brother!!
Appreciate it greatly man!
What gimbal did you use in the video? I’m mostly shooting youth sports for instagram video/swimming baseball/funny videos. Need mobility in shooting. Coming from Rebel series but want serious video capability to make higher quality RUclips and Instagram video. An upgrade from iPhone.
I think either of these would get the job done for sure! At the time, I was using the Ronin-S, still a great gimbal but pretty heavy compared to newer versions. Now I use the DJI RS3 Mini with my R6, works great and much lighter! amzn.to/3MGhNdP
Really considering getting the R7, currently have an A7iii. My ONLY concern is the crop sensor vs full frame, should I even worry about that at this point??
If you aren’t invested in canon full frame glass already, then crop sensor would be fine! Also just depends on the type of work you do. But both are great options now!
What specific lens would you recommend for wide shots on the R7 for real estate videography? And, would you use a different lens for the details shots? 🤷🏻♂
Hey! This is the lens I started with when I had a crop sensor camera. amzn.to/407Hh7O not sure if they’ve made an ultrawide RF EF-S lens yet. And for details, I’d use a nifty fifty! Like the 50mm RF 1.8 amzn.to/41zeV7I

I’m debating between the R6 Mark II or the R7 ima watch the video but what do you think would be best?
Hey! Depends on the type of lenses you already own and the type of work you do. The biggest difference being the r7 is apsc sensor so it will crop in on your full frame lenses. But as far as performance from each camera, super comparable!
@@AndreiRestrepo well I want to get a no record limit camera I have a canon m50 that I mainly use had a Sony a6400 but sold it a few months later since I had to buy a lot of lenses if I wanted to switch to Sony but I do want a FF camera too was thinking the R5 but that’s a lot of money and I mostly do it as a hobby so I’m debating if I should get a R6 M2 or a R7 and based on that I’ll get a 15-35 or 24-70 fr lens but then again there’s other alternatives like ef/Efs lens that have a lower f stop and see about the same focal length
Main things I want to shoot are real estate,portraits,concerts/shows(very low light)
What would be the best option?
Gotcha! Yeah, sounds like either the r6 or mark ii or r7 would be the best choice. The 15-35 is a phenomenal lens, and I’ve used the 24-70 as well, great. If you invest in those, I’d go with one of the r6’s. But I know canon is now coming out with more EF-S RF lenses so might be worth checking out as well and save a bit with the R7. Also - R7 & R6 mark I have no record limits, R6 I does
@@AndreiRestrepo yeah exactly that’s why I was debating between these two but don’t know which would be best one has 32.5mp and the other doesn’t but since it’s a cropped sensor wouldn’t it basically gave the same results?
The photos are pretty comparable even with the 10+ MP difference. Like for me primarily doing real estate and lifestyle/social media work, the full frame 20mp sensor is perfect for me. I’d rent both ti see which you like better!
We're you using the 85 1.4 with stabilisation? I find this works so well even with no ibis
Hey! So I had the camera stabilization on, but my 85mm doesn’t have lens stabilization. Maybe it was just too cold and we were shaky 😆 also extra zoomed in because of the apsc sensor. Thanks for watching!
You mention at 2:37 the R7 video is at 4K clog3 cinema gamut. I have searched everywhere for this on my R7 to no avail. How did you get this setting?
Yes, it shoots clog3 cinema gamut just like the r6! Just have to turn on canon log and select those options, best log settings in my opinion. I believe canon log is the first main menu, and then one of the sub menus after that, but don’t remember exactly since I don’t have the r7 now
Hello, I currently have the Canon 90D and have been looking into the 6D and 7D. I probably plan on keeping my EF lenses and buying the RF adapter but would also consider getting regular RF lenses if it helps with quality. Do you think the full frame would be worth the few extra bucks? I'll be filming a bunch of low light car/motorcycle edits but I'd primarily be using it for action photography such as motocross and mountain biking type stuff.
Thanks! I’d say keep your EF glass and use the adapter, works perfect with the adapter. Maybe eventually upgrade to RF but I wouldn’t immediately. You said you’re looking at the 6D or 7d, do you mean the mirrorless r6 or r7? I’d also recommend full frame for better low light performance! Thanks for watching
@@AndreiRestrepo r6 and r7 sorry. I went to the camera store yesterday and found out my sigma DC 18-235mm is not compatible with full frame, yes with the adapter. It has to be DG. So if I go full frame I'd have to find something to replace it. I couldn't find anything from Canon, sigma, or tamron..
Hi Andrei, I need your advice ☺️ I want to buy a new camera (I just have an old 550D) and I would like to switch to mirrorless either R7 or r6 (maybe r10 would be ok too, I don’t know) I’m not professional but I would like to do pet photography. Could you recommend me what camera will be best for that? And the lens? (I’m not much into video, mostly photography) thank you ☺️🙏🏻
Hey! I think possibly the R10 would be the best investment, as it'd the most affordable but still sounds like it does more than plenty. I'd also invest in the 50mm 1.8 lens that would be perfect for pet portrait style work! If you can afford a little more, then the R8 would be the next camera I would look at because it's full frame. Thanks for watching!
@@AndreiRestrepo thank you 😊
Is the R7 your second body? I have the R6 mk2 and i’m looking for a cheap 2nd body .. I’m interested in that R7
It actually isn’t, almost did that though! Instead, I invested in a R5C and made the r6mk2 my b cam. 🤙🏻 but that would be a great combo because then you would have 2 cameras that are pretty much the same but the flexibility of adding a crop sensor body with your lenses too
Yeah I’m just scared that I will want to upgrade to another full frame later.. haha 😅
Same, and I just wanted a more video focused camera!
Dear Andrei 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 since my old 70-200 F2.8mm will not be in use for both?
Thank you.
Hey! I think mainly for sports photography, you’d benefit more from the R7, especially because the 1.6x sensor will give you the same extra reach on your 70-200 like the 7D. And the higher megapixel count would be great for that too!
I had 7d2 and now I have R7. For me it was a DOWNGRADE. EF lenses on such demanding sensor aren't as sharp as on 7d2 were, so I had to buy RF lenses. Electronic shutter has got huge issue with rolling shutter, and mechanical shutter jamms in my R7 randomly on 15 FPS mode. Also indoors you can get epilepsy through viewfinder. Of course you can turn on antiflicker mode, but after that say goodbye to wifi mode... Build quality in comparison to 7d2 is also a big downgrade, R7 is like plasticky toy. So if you really want mirrorless go to R6/R5 (they have also issues like rolling shutter, but lower density of theirs sensors won't kill your older lenses). About lenses - currently I use EF16-35 F4 L and RF 70-200 F4 L - they are sharp enough for R7, but EF16-35 2.8 L, EF 70-200 2.8 non IS and EF 135 F2 L were pretty poor on that sensor.
@@AndreiRestrepo thanks for your reply. My only worry is that with the R7 (cropped) i will have the same optical view as my 7Dii whereas a full frame as R6 ii will capture wider view in closer space, 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?
In that case, then I agree - R6 ii! I thought you wanted to the same field of view from your camera which why I said that. You’ll really love the look of full frame if your zoom lens is long enough on a full frame for your needs.
@@constantinoskyprianou9722 In basketball better high ISO performance is crucial. So FF cameras will have advantage
Hello. I already have a Canon R. Do you think canon r7 is a good option as a complement to don full frame???
I mainly shoot landscapes, macro and animals. maybe sports and video??? in the future I think canon R to replace with something better.
Hey! Hmm, good question. My friend Taylor that was in the video also has a Canon R. The photo quality between the two is very similar, but the video capabilities in the R7 are wayyy better. You'd also benefit of your full frame glass zooming in more on the r7 crop sensor. I would rent it first and see how you like it. Thanks for watching!
@@AndreiRestrepo And stabilization and beautiful, sharp shots of animals on the run, canon R is hard to do.
Yeah that makes sense. For photography, the IS is the best!
But now throw the R8 in the mix!
I know lol too many !!
I don't get it, why people complain about having to turn the dial on the R6 to get to video mode.
It's right next to C3 setting of the camera, so why not just use the C3 setting instead of manual or Av or Tv, or whatever regime you're usually using?
I’ve tried using the C modes, but it’s not ideal since it resets back to the custom settings you input each time. And I won’t use anything other than Manual since I want full control on the settings I want to use, not what the camera thinks is best. So someone like me that typically does photo+video on the same camera, the switch on the R6ii has been great, but might not be as important for someone else. Thanks for watching!
@@AndreiRestrepo thanks for explaining! )
