16:31 The BIG Problem with the R7 
Наука
The sunglasses part proves that this camera has a perfect autofocus system for my use cases.
😏
hahahaha looked up for a comment like this when I saw that part of the video :D
Thats it. Im getting an R7.
"when the autofocus couldn't detect an eye, it reverted to 'object tracking'....... ( . )( . )
lol
Ha!
Hey Dan and Sally, great first impressions here - can't wait for some detailed test, particularly vs R6! Your reviews are absolutely top notch. Well done.
Appreciate that!
The best review as for today! Truly informative. Thank you. R7 seems to be really a great camera for the birds and macro photography I love. Looks like a camera I was waiting for :)
Thanks so much!
Thank you so much Sally and Dan for all those awesome information you generously shared with the world about R7! I learnt a lot! God bless you both!
Finally.. some real info on the video specs and capabilities. Thank you!
before considering this as a second body to 7dmk2, Im quite interested to see if there's a list out of compatable EF lenses without drop in fps, as well as using the older LE-6 and LE-6N batteries lowers your fps.
For the dial+joystick - I like it. The wheel on my 90D controls aperture. Its a PITA to change when you are looking through the viewfinder. I do BBF, so a slight move of the thumb to the left will be a nice change
Would love a comparison of R7 with R6 for a casual wildlife photography enthusiast (if that’s even a thing!). Also, would love to understand the total cost of ownership with recommended canon and 3rd party lenses for each of these bodies. Curious about what body + lens combos makes best sense for someone who wants to use this as a primary camera (like for birthdays, family trips, weekend getaways, kids sports, kids portraits, fall photography, etc.) along with wildlife/sports oriented trip like birding, safaris, skiing, racing, etc. So hard to find this kind of a comparison online and I suspect this is the market Canon is targeting with the R7 and R6 (albeit for a more serious enthusiast).
Thanks for early review 👍👍
Was hard to tell from your screen-cap/side-by-side comparison, but what would you say the multiplier is for the 4K crop mode? 1.3x-ish?
Also, feel like the IQ suffered badly, or still prettt useable?
Thanks!
I pre-ordered mine the 1st day and I can't wait! I want to see that pre-capture feature in action that allows us to get images before we fully press the shutter.
R6 user here and I think this will be a perfect 2nd or B cam to it. R6 covers 90% of my needs but there are times I need a little more resolution, more reach, and more time with 4k60. But I don’t want to spend the money on an R5. This maybe a great option!
Great review. We're very interested in the low light performance. Hopefully you can test that out very well. Otherwise, we are very impressed with this camera as a viable option for our setup.
Do you think the R7 would be good for astrophotography? I just purchased this on pre-order , so I’m really looking forward to seeing how this performs in the full review .
would love to see a low light test as well as a test with some of the prime RF glass
That was a good passionate review. I shoot the R6 right now, mostly wildlife, and I have been waiting for the R7 for quite a while. The 7Dii was one of my favorite crop sensor cameras. In wildlife photography you can never have too much reach, so a cropped 32MP image will serve my needs much better than the cropped 8MP I get from the R6. Also look forward to the improved AF tracking. The R6 does great with fast primes, such as the 500F4, but struggles with an RF600 or the new RF100-400. The RF100-500 does a bit better, but at F7.1 it’s not optimal. Birds in flight are one of the ultimate challenges. I look forward to putting the R7 through its paces.
After years of canon, i went to sony, and now im back to canon with the R5. This R7 im gonna buy it also.
I think Canon have finally found a true winner here, I've been using Canon cameras for years, the R7 is the next step for me, I'm in the queue, and with the R7 my excitement level has leapt skyward. I'm already impatient...
Please confirm if the R7 has multiple custom modes for video like the R5 (and unlike the R6). Also, please test it with the EF-S 10-18mm F/4.5-5.6 since there's nothing that wide in RF yet except the full-frame 16mm F/2.8. Thanks.
For a 7DII bird photographer with lots of EF glass, the R7 with EF adapter is a no brainer - ordered!
Don't get it wet, or dusty, or sandy. Or want low light capabilities. Or plan on taking a lot of shots in one go. Do you remember why you didn't upgrade to the 90D? Well they are the same reasons to leave this well alone. The great autofocus doesn't outway the rest.
@@doghouseriley4732 thanks for saving me from spending $1800.
@@doghouseriley4732 According to Canon it still has magnesium body and extensive weather sealing. So I wouldn't worry about weathersealing too much.
The r7 has great weather sealing and as for the buffer, idk I’m consistently getting almost double of what I got from my 7D which was about 22/24 shots. With the r7 I get 40/42 shots and that’s while shooting in RAW with a UHS-I card. I think it’s a great upgrade.
Is this better then the EOS R in low light for photo? Witch one would you prefer for photo in low light?
Hey guys! Thank you for sharing your first impression about R7! I have one question. What are the file types when recording video? Is it mp4 or mov? When shooting with Clog does the file type change?
Ordered mine yesterday, should pair nicely with my 100-500 lens! I think it will be much better than using my R6 with a teleconverter.
Hi guys. Can I use the custom c1 c2 c3 settings for video ?? Most likely to buy it as a third camera for family videos if they make a prime like 22mm or 24mm f1.8. Currently using R6 for most videos and every day photos and using my Sony A74 with the 200-600 for wildlife.
I have two R6s and I'm getting the R7 as a back-up. Plus...I love the 'longer reach' and the extra pixels. When using the 70-200mm f2.8 lens it's almost a 140-400mm f2.8 if you crop and get the same pixel dimensions as the R6. Nice review BTW and I subscribed.
Awesome! Appreciate that Harrison
Question for future R7 video: Do you know what the bus speed between the processor and the memory card is? I know it's UHS II compliant, but what is the max write speed of the bus? It might save people some money buying cards that can write 300mbps if the bus will only write 250 or less). I can't seem to find that info on the write-ups, and I'm curious if you know...
Would love to see a comparison between the R6 and R7 ISO capabilities. I love the R6 for ISO. Want the R7 for birds and macros. Great video, btw. Very informative. 👌
Jared Polin has RAWs available on his channel. The R& at 4000 ISo has more grain than the Sahara. Just like the 90D did, with the same size sensor..... read into that what you want. But if you are looking for low light capabilities, forget it.
@@doghouseriley4732 Curious how it compares noise-wise with the 7DII.
Great reviews folks. The glass is definitely over half full with this camera offering in features ,price. Etc. 😀
Excellent video! I’ve been waiting for a second camera for my R5 to replace my old 7D MKII. This is it.
I just caved and ordered it, been shooting with the t6i as a hobbiest but, I enjoy shooting sports, food, and landscapes. I also got the kit lens 18mm-150mm lens.
Could you compare the low light shots to R5/R6. Is is similar or way apart?
Cool video! Question, money no object, for air shows and wildlife which body, the R5 Or R7?
Great review! I am encouraged by the decent high ISO performance. I just wish the UI was closer to the R5 and R6. I don't know why they didn't place the rear control wheel around the SET button rather than the joystick. The chosen layout will make it harder to switch between my R5 and the R7.
Hi Dan and Sally! Great video! I have been shooting with my 80D for several years and am looking to upgrade without spending too much. How is the 1080p video quality compared with the 80D? Talking about image quality and high iso performance. I don't shoot 4k so I would love to know if there is a huge improvement with the 1080p setting compared to the 80D.
Wow, I ordered this camera because of you guys. Ok, you pushed me over the line. Ok, I am camera nut and I probably would have ordered it anyway, but great initial review, you two!
Hahaha...thanks Anthony!
Please test the R7 against the EOS M Mark 6 II which was considered by reviewers a better camera than the 90D I have it with the viewfinder attachment and I use it instead of my EOSR. I don't understand why reviewers are not comparing this camera to Canon's previous flagship model.
Hey guys,
I've been using the 90d for a couple of years now as my main camera. It works well for the type of productions I do.
I would like to upgrade (full frame preferebly) but I dont wanna spend tons of money just to get full frame. I want it to be better all around for a good price.
I of course have a bunch of EF lenses, which I would have to update and get new ones, to get the full effect, I spend the money on a full frame.
Would this be a good upgrade and then use my 90d as my B cam? or should I just spend more money on a full frame canon?
Thanks
Great review (and great footage!)…I’m not sure a $2k (Canadian) body only should be classified as “entry level”, which I’ve heard in a few reviews. Not sure if its how these cameras get reviewed now, or how the R3-R6 pricing has skewed our perception, but I don’t know too many people running out to spend $2k on a casual camera anymore. The R7 is truly aimed at those of us who have been waiting for an APS-C “complete package” Canon camera for wildlife, sports, travel, or just all-around. Well done Canon…can’t wait to get my hands on one!
I’m hoping this will be good for event work. I’m a hybrid shooter looking for a replacement for my GH5 if possible.
It would be awesome if you guys compare the R7 vs the 90D and the R10 vs T8i.
I am looking into this R7 but not sure what lenses are for photo and video work of my painting, most will be done indoors. I already have a small softbox. I also like to zoom in to show the brushmarks. Any suggestions would be helpful before I sell off my camera kit in exchange for R7.
Thank you guys! Two questions. 1- I know an RF-A-RF Speed booster does not exist, but would it be possible? How about EF-RF speed booster? Will it work in these cameras?
2- For the R7, do you get sound in 120fps/1080p and 4K/60p?
No sound in 120fps. Same as R6, where it provides clip slowed 4x
And the forums seem to indicate the speed booster will work, but not confirmed.
@@kernzilla Thanks, not a deal breaker but if iphone has it I wish R7 did too.
Yes Please, Can you test R7 vs EosR using the atomos ninja v... I wanted to know if it could be a good B-cam... Thanks
I believe I am getting this camera. I have been waiting for a 7Dmii replacement and this looks like the one. I don't care that much about the APS-C lenses because I will be using a FF lens for birds and wildlife. I would like to know more about the buffer limitation. Thanks for a great first review. Looking forward to your more detailed reviews.
I’m a wedding videographer, I currently own an EOS R, I hope you guy can make a comparison to see if it is worth upgrade from a full frame to apsc.
Not sure if it is an upgrade in all regards for your use case. You will lose the juicy full frame bokeh and probably some low light capability (but this might be a now issue since the R7 sensor is a newer gen)...
I’d like to see how this camera works with a focal reducer ef to rf converter
I do a lot of bird photography with an R6 and the RF 100-500mm. The lens is a bit short for smaller birds so I am excited about the R7. I did pre-order one primarily for the additional reach and the ability to put more megapixels on the subject. My 100-500mm will be equivalent 160-800mm. My typical workflow includes the Topaz suite so I am not especially worried about noise. Yesterday while shooting birds here in central Texas my R6 overheated. I was shooting stills only so it still worked but no video available and the entire camera seemed to slow down. That slowdown may have been my imagination but it seemed real at the time. Temp was in the high 90s but I was in the shade almost the entire time. I would have been willing to pay more for a similar camera with a better EVF and buffer. As it is I am willing to give up a little on the EVF and buffer. This could be a decently small and light package with the RF 100-400mm.
Guys, What I heard about this R7 (nor sure for the R10), is that Canon made the same lens attachment, so you can use both RF and RF-S lenses on them and this made also the RF-S lenses compatible with the FF R series cameras.
Can you compare R7 against the GH6 or GH5s? The unlimited record time puts them head-to-head now.
How i can get great bouquet with this camera?
I need to know if its is better the My "R" in 4k image quality, low light and Dynamic range. I hate using my R for video and i need a camera to pair better with my R5. Especially now that its the same price is the R brand new.
I am so excited about this camera! I live close to Pensacola and love photographing the Blue Angels practices and shows! I’m currently using the 80D with the EF100-400mm L II and getting some pretty good captures. But I’ll definitely be getting an adapter ring when I get the R7 and taking it to a whole new level I’m sure! Have you heard if there will be a battery grip for the R7? I’m thinking that would prove to be most useful. Thanks again for this “mini” review. I’ve just subscribed and will definitely be looking forward to your in-depth review later!
Awesome! I don't know if there will be a battery grip option but I'm leaning towards a no. I used the 100-500mm RF lens with the R7 and the combo was amazing. Appreciate the sub!
@@learningcameras Have owned the 70d 80d 90d and now the R5... BUT, I miss the crop factor at times. Did you see ANY difference in SNR vs. the 90d? I'm hoping a 1/3 - 2/3rds of a stop in gained efficiency... wishful thinking?
@@learningcameras BTW: The 90d files play MUCH better with Topaz vs. my R5... apples/oranges I know, but dayum!!
Can you adjust the Electronic Shutter to operate at slower than 30 FPS, like 15 FPS, 10FPS, ETC?
Thanks so much for the new vid. Is this an upgrade for outdoor hybrid sports shooters over the 5D MKIV? focus and reach seem great upgrades, not to mentions the video capabilities. Cheers! Thanks
Thanks! So it's the best you can get for the price that's for sure but it's still not quite the ultimate sports camera in a few ways. But the focus system and video abilities are definitely strong features but the buffer might be a bit limiting for some sports
@@learningcamerasthanks. appreciate your views as always
@@learningcameras Hi Dan. After some time with the R7, how does the image quality compare to the R5, esp after cropping? Thanks !
The best Canon R7 initial review posted yet. 11:50 Loved how detailed you got explaining the 4K recording options. I understand that 4K60 Standard has no crop using some kind of line skipped trickery, but can you clarify if there's a crop in 4K60 FINE? I'm considering this over the R6 as the R6 is still quite unsuable for extended periods of time due to the overheating in 4K60. EDIT: I rewatched it. So 4K Fine mode is 30p only??? Is this correct?
Appreciate that! There is a crop in the 4k60 fine. It basically turns it into around a micro 4/3 camera in that mode but it does amount to more detail and more in focus. It could be great for wildlife/sports if your not at a high ISO. 4k Fine is up to 30p so they still have 24p. They do have a 4k60 fine but it's an additional crop that does a full pixel readout
@@learningcameras Thats a shame. No idea why its so hard to get 4K60p without a crop on a small sensor camera.
@@michaelbell75 you can still shoot 4K60 without the additional crop, it's just not oversampled so the level of detail goes down a little bit compared to 4k24 fine or the 4k60 crop. I show examples in this video in the video section
Here are the upcoming APS-C lenses:
Canon RF-S 22mm f/2 STM
Canon RF-S 11-55mm f/4-4.5 IS STM
Canon RF-S 55-250mm f/4.5-7.1 IS STM
Canon RF-S 16-55mm f/2.8 IS USM
Canon RF-S 32mm f/1.4 STM
would be good to see a ultra wide angle lens with a lower f-stop, since we do have the 10-18 already
What RF lenses tiu recommend for blogging and podcasting
RE lenses, could you add the Viltrox EF-RF .71 speed booster ? Would that work on this camera and give you a full frame look and an extra stop??
Hi Dan - when you do your full review please try the 16mm RF as it gives a medium wide full frame equivalent of 25mm - Im looking at that and the 35mm and keeping my fingers crossed that canon copy sony with the 11mm F1.8 in the future - Id have the three focal lengths I need then
The 90D had compatibility issues with many lenses due to the sensors pixel density. I wonder if the R7 would have the same issue when adapter older lenses? The sigma 18-35 1.8 ef would be a banger on this.
That and the 50-100 are the first lenses I want with this camera lol
Damn what a combo that will be
You can try the micro adjustment... but yeah, they're pretty unforgiving. Sometimes you can have a bad copy of a great lens... I say borrow or rent a lens and do some testing if you can
I do a lot of photography on grandsons football/baseball/soccer games. Would this R7 camera worth upgrading to or should I go with a 7d Markll?
Both are great options if you are sticking with photo only and the 7DII can shoot for longer before the buffer fills up. But if you shoot video at all or would like to use the rear LCD screen to shoot, definitely go for the R7
Would like to see how the 10bit 4.2.2 looks and what else you can do if you pair it with the Atomos Ninja V/V+
You guys do such a great job always. Having your wife there makes a great addition because her viewpoint adds to the conversation rather than review pairs who just agree with each other.
Means so much!!!!
Please review this camera with the RF 16mm f 2.8. I have the RP presently (I'll probably be keeping it), and am looking for an update to my 70D which I use for anything that moves fast. I have the lens already and it works well on the RP, but I would like to see how the R7 handles it, compared to perhaps the R6 (I'm deciding between the R6 &R7). I'll have to sell the RP if I get the R6.
Anyway thanks in advance, you guys are great!
Can the electric shutter be reduced to a lower frame rate other than the 30fps?
Dan does the Canon R7 have a headphone Jack and unlimited recording time limit and does it two sd card slots. As if so it would be great to use alongside the Canon C70
Has a headphone jack, no time limit, takes 2 cards with dual recording, and has Clog3!
Would be interested the result with EF Adapter + EF-S lenses. On current FF R series it crop down to 10MP+, how much crop will be on the R7/R10?
This is the same crop factor is previous crop bodies. So there will be no crop for EF-s lenses I imagine.
everything is fine with this camera but when will canon release "affordable" and still high-quality f1.8/f2/f2.8 rf glasses?
I find it interesting that this review, along with three others I have watched point this camera to being a great backup for the R5. And you were all in Orlando for Canon sponsored unveiling tour. Is this something Canon planted in your heads or is it possible, just possible, this camera can and will be the main and everyday shooter for a lot of users? As Dan points out, it has the insides (sensor excluded) of the R3. I might add the R5 and R6 both have the dreaded 30 minute video time limit whilst the R7 has unlimited video time as long as you have enough card space and battery power. The relocation of the wheel on the back is no big deal. I'm old enough to recall the introduction of the larger wheel on the back of the Canon cameras and it was odd then, but we all got used to it and that wheel became a fixture on every EOS body. Sometimes change is difficult, because we all get in a comfort zone.
As you mentioned the 90d many times i'm surprised you did'nt mention the OVF sim/assist in the menu, even if you did not test it. Bearing in mind that there are alot of dslr users still carrying on with dslr because of their experiences with EVF's, i would've thought it important enough to mention. ..... not a critisism, just an observation
Can you share low light shots in your next R7 full review ? Specifically night shots/low light shots in bars, live music venues, street scenes and heck, even an astrophotography shot would be helpful!
Will my apsc lens work with this specifically my sigma 18 35 and sigma 10 to 22
Need some help, can't decide between the R7 and the Sony A7C. The Sony has a full-frame sensor and access to more Lens. The R7 has 4K 10 bit 60p which the A7C does not, the lens selection is not as diversified as the Sony though, and its APS-C. Tough choices. Both are the similarly priced too. Thoughts?
If you are using it for video the R7 is better for sure. If you are shooting images, I still prefer the R7 ergonomics but the A7C will have better image quality thanks to the full frame sensor.
Excellent review mate. Quick question though - Is this camera compatible with Tamron's telephoto lenses? 600mm?
It should be with an EF adapter but I haven't tested the results
A very interesting comparison would be R7 vs EOS R with RF glass on both like RF 14-35 F4 L
Will it pair perfectly with the RF800mm f11??
Anyone tried using something like a Tamron 160-600 g2 with a ef -rf adapter om a rf camera ? Im a portrait photographer but interesting im started to shoot motorsport and birds just for fun and domt want to spend a Fortuna . A r7 and a Tamron would be good ”cheap” combo for alot of reach
Great review, Thank you
Hello, guys as always is really nice to watch your video. Well I will wait a bit more but it seems that this is the camera I have been waiting for, kind of, but I would personally love a comparison between the R7 and the R6, in terms of Image Quality and Dynamic Range, also nobody is talking about codecs, is this camera shooting 10 bits in all modes? I own the EOS R and a BMPCC4k, and ideally, I am trying to build a set of equipment that will be like BMPCC4k & BMPCC6k pro and then EOS R6 & EOS R but since the R6 overheats is not a choice for me, now is the overheating in the R7 is more manageable and as you guys said it looks like the only modes that overheat are the ones oversampling from 7k I think it will definitely be a good companion to my EOS R (EOS R7 A cam, EOS R B cam)I don't really care about APSC or full-frame just quality and AF.
I agree
Great video!
Do you think Canon will remove the 30 min limit on the R5 and R6 with a future firmware update?
I talked to some of the Canon engineers and begged them to lol. They seemed to suggest they might but I have absolutely no idea
I’m really confused between Sony a7iv and canon r6 for video please help
Canon R7 in comparison to canon R5 which one better and in dynamic range which is best model.
I'm currently using Nikon D5300 but now I want to upgrade a bit, what camera would u suggest?:)
So Nikon has a few APSC cameras but they aren't amazing and the lens selection is limited. The Canon R7 is my favorite right now if you can deal with a more limited lens selection. So if you're mostly going to be using the kit lens and maybe adding more in the future, the Canon R7 is the way to go. Another cheaper option is the Fujifilm XT30 www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1662378-REG/fujifilm_16759732_x_t30_ii_mirrorless_digital.html/BI/19484/KBID/11716/DFF/d10-v21-t1-x1136461/SID/DFF
Great information here, thank you so much. I'd be interested to see in the full review, feedback on using the EF adapter with the EF 100-400mm F/4.5-5.6L IS USM II lens please. Also a wide angle EF L lens. Thank you if this is possible.
I am a Nikon user (Z50) and been waiting for Nikon to replace their D500 (similar Z9 AF) with a mirrorless version. I guess I don't have to wait any longer, just need to change brands.
Can it shoot video on both cards? (Backup recording)
Nice I will probably get an R7 to go along with my R5. I have an RP as a second camera now so I will sell it. Will it eventually have a battery grip? As I love my battery grip for my R5. Thanks Dan and Sally!
I think it's easier to have an RP mk II than the RP getting a battery grip
@@joaomansano145 Vello makes a fantastic battery grip for the RP for years now. I think he means a grip for the R7. Im sure Vello will have one soon after release.
@@michaelbell75 make sense reafding again haha but i think they might release one for the R7 it looks like more the R6 (same battery, almost same size)
Early speculation is that the camera lacks certain tell tale signs that would indicate a battery grip. The door doesn't look as though it was made to be able to be removed, and the mounting holes are not present. Its not been discussed much in these early videos, I think because in some cases they were using pre-production models. But, Gordons' video gives us a pretty good look at it, and there is no lever to pop it off (again though, I think it was a pre-production model). I'm not going to say it is not going to happen, but right now I'm pretty convinced its not, and if/when that news is confirmed its going to be the thing people blow up over this time. But whatevs. Would be dumb to omit that though.
how is the rolling shutter in video compared to the x-h2s?
Excuse for offtop, in my plans to buy 4K monitor for my editing laptop, but - how much 4K monitor will load GPU of video card by 4K resolution? In this case is it better to stay with 2K monitor?
Any modern laptop will handle 4K just fine
I initially dismissed this camera as replacement for my 7dmk2 because had expected a stacked sensor and better evf but It's grown on me I've pre ordered. I was wondering if you could try testing AF and image quality with the Metabones EF-RF Speed Booster® ULTRA 0.71x I would love it if it works thank you Dan really looking forward to your in dept review, I will be using this as a birding wildlife camera.
So far I have not seen a sub $4000 camera with a stacked cmos sensor so I wasn't expecting that. Sony would probably be the first to implement that. I'm curious about the adapter as well. Canon didn't have an answer on that question. The EVF isn't amazing but it's not bad enough to not buy it. I think the hardware of this camera is slightly below the 7D but the price is lower as well. I think the 7D2 originally cost 1799 and that was a while ago
@@learningcameras When I say stacked sensor In my mind was comparing this as a birding camera with the OM-1 has both stacked sensor and a very good evf it's certainly a notch above the R7 and good price but I went with R7 because I have Canon lenses. Thanks for the comment.
I can't see anything yet! Must be busy uploading lol. So excited!!!!!
Who were models for this shoot? This video was amazing, I really want to jump into the RF mount using the Canon R7!
Nice overview of a solid looking camera, especially for wildlife if you pair it with the RF 100-400mm or the 600mm or 800mm DO lenses. The only things that I would be concerned about is the level of weather-sealing, the low-res EVF and it would be great if it had a 'pro-capture' mode like the OM-1.
I used the 70-200 and rf 100-500 in the wildlife shots. It's definitely more of an intermediate camera hardware wise so don't expect R5 or R3 weather sealing. But we actually got rained on during the portrait shoot and that wasn't an issue
Watched a few videos released today for R7, it has a raw burst mode (not sure about exact name) which captures frames for 0.5 or so seconds.
While I like most of the features of the R7, with video and AF near the top of my list, and how its performance might improve further with the use of a .71X focal reducer (wider field of view, greater light gathering = lower noise, and shallower DOF using "full-frame" lenses). One of my main concern is the the low res EVF, with only 2.36M dots. I tried using the R6, and wasn't thrilled with its 3.69M dot ETF. The R5's 5.76M dot EVF looked more natural.
Does it dual-record video? Seems to be a question that is hard to find the answer for.
The R6 did not dual-record video for a long time before Canon released an updated firmware for it.
It will actually dual record to both slots! It also doesn't have the 30 minute recording limit of the r6
i was considering buy lumix s5, but recently i notice the r7. I`m scared about low light of the canon r7 but i`m also scared about autofocus of the lumix s5.
Good video with good info! Be great to see how popular ef-s lenses perform i.e. 18-135 nano, sigma 18-35, nifty 50 with video esp. around AF and IBIS. I've got a stack of ef-s lenses I will use as I can't justify the cost of the RF lenses and the RF-S lenses look underwhelming.
Thanks! Yeah, I wasn't crazy impressed with the new lenses...again, good for kit lenses but nothing beyond that and we only had limited time to test everything so I focused more on the camera
Yussss ❤️ loved this camera!
Can you turn the FPS down in electronic? to something like ,15, or 10 or even 3?...I shoot exclusively in electronic on my R6 for wildlife!! Mechanical cannot keep up in super fast scenarios also the battery last much longer in Electronic... 6000 shots one day on my R6
Brilliant review! Thank you:)
Thanks!!!
Is R10 an 8 or 10-bit on the video camera side?
