CANON EOS R7 Real World AF REVIEW: Just As Good As R3 R5 R6?!

I mentioned SUB $2,000 camera in the video, when in fact, the body only is $1500. I was looking at the kit when I made the sub $2,000 statement. So this camera in fact is only $1,500 which is insane for what it offers.

I would skip the r7 and get r8, with R8 out it makes little sense to get the R7

I know you don’t like focus extenders. Curious what you think about speed-boosters for canon r7. I hear the canon has some purple fringing but the 2 viltrox s.boosters seem good? There aren’t any reviews for photo and none comparing the canon to the 2 viltrox. Now canon has good crop bodies but limited crop lenses. So it seems like a possible work around but I’d like to be sure before recommending to friends looking to get into photography.

when i see you on you tube i started watch all you film i event traveled 600 mill to go to Conowingo dame thank you

You're always extremely entertaining as well as knowledgeable! Great revire for the R7. So very happy you're in the Philadelphia area also! You're the best that Philly has to offer!!

Jared. Could you tell me if the Canon EF 70-200mm 2.8 L (first generation) adapts well to the Canon R7? If there is any configuration... I'm having problems with this combination. I'm losing focus very easily when I shoot using the H+ AI SERVO. I saw in a publication, some lenses that don't perform well above 15 fps. If you could give me feedback, I would appreciate it.

Don't buy R7. Camera has lots of problems with the focus.

Planning to get one R7. Need one advise please. Will my efs 18-135 nano usm work on the R7 with adaptor. Thanks in advance.

I have to wonder if the only reason they didn't put a stacked sensor in this was just to protect the value of the R3.
One of the main advantages of APS-C is the sensors are cheap to make, so making a stacked sensor R7 would cost a lot less than the R3 sensor.
No doubt everyone would be a lot happier with the R7 if it were stacked sensor at $2,000 but then Canon would probably sell half as many R3s.

Nice review of a totally amazing camera. Deserves the excitement for results which are very very good.

You had the iso at 2k for the girl in the end! That’s amazing quality for that number. With great lighting you’ll get smoother less grainy noise

Did you have any problems with electronic shutter distortion?

New R7 user here... picked this up with the Sigma 70-200 2.8 (mentioned by Jared as a decent lens). I am enjoying it when it works. Granted I'm new. So there's that. But I purchased this to shoot my son's lacrosse games and found that since the camera can't pick up the eyes of the players in their helmets, it’s focusing in on players in the peripheral areas. :( So many great shots that are not in focus, but guess what? The non-dominant players facing the camera are. It was a whole lax season of failures. Yes, I need to better learn this camera. I'm probably not giving you enough information to go on. As well, I did a team shot with this zoom (yeah, not the best lens... I don't have any other lenses yet -- my bad -- not even the kit lens) and the iPhone took clearer photos of their faces than my R7 + Sigma. Maybe I'm in over my head. This is why I stopped taking photos long ago (had a Rebel and some budget lenses back then). Should I just leave the photography to the pros? :) Kidding. I'll keep learning and post back here once I've unlocked the mystery. :)

I am wondering if anyone had any thoughts on new Fujfilm Xh2 vs R7 for wildlife?

Do you know if the R10 has the same focus system as the R7?

Been researching this camera for my step up purchase. I mainly do landscape and wildlife, but your video told me more useful info than I have seen on other channels. Sports and many wildlife shooting scenarios are similar with the speed and sometimes erratic motion. Very helpful information. Thank you.

If you pixel peep, you will always see noise

You were shooting in daylight go to a high school and try that specially with football in a low-budget high school where the lighting leaves a lot to be desired then you can say I did a real-world test.

I honestly wouldn’t “poo poo” DxO Pure RAW noise reduction and demosaic processing. It most definitely doesn’t do the painterly/ blur thing you mention. It actually looks sharper and cleaner.

Jared...Have you done a comparison of the R7 VS R8? I would be interested in hearing what you have to say seeing as they are about the same price.

hello Jared, how do you compare this R7 with Sony A7 mk III?

I am still on the fence between this R7 and the R6 mkii. I am coming from the 40D, I don’t print larger than 18 x 24. I will also be purchasing the EFS to r adapter ring. I don’t shoot any one thing in particular the one thing I will not do is a wedding. Advice is welcome for my next purchase.

Is it good for videos, tho?

Guys I want to get into photography again help, Sony a7iii or canon r7?

Perfectly...perfectly 😆

Where is raw photos 😹

My Canon 80D shutter died and I was forced to upgrade and decided to spend the $500 more and go the R7 over the 90D. I shoot a lot of hockey so I am excited to see the difference this camera will make for that with my Sigma 70-200 2.8.

I mean going from 45 AF points to 651 is a game changer in itself.

Love the fro❤

Is it just me or does anyone not see that Jared is hiding the fact that this camera sensor produces pictures that are just too grainy for any usage?

I picked up an R7 a couple months ago and after two weddings, a running track shoot, and a few model sessions I can say that I love shooting with it. I’d love to see how this camera pairs with canon’s sharpest prime glass given that it’s resolving north of 80mp on a full frame basis. Thinking of making a 1.2 purchase to bring out the full potential of the sensor.

Very helpful comparison, Fro. Cheers.

Are you shooting with Mechanical or Electronic shutter? When using electronic, do you find rolling shutter a problem with sports?

No one talks about the IBIS first cannon to offer that was bullshit they didn't add it to the Gen one models

For sports pics -;indoor or outdoor, what picture style is recommended? Standard, Portrait or faithful/neutral?

Jared I am wondering what time the Soccer game was and the baseball game? I've heard that one of the biggest knocks is the low light limitations...so my question is corresponds to the times...cause I do a lot of planespotting videos and photos.

Hi Jared, with the limited RFS lens selected, would you recommend trying a older lens on the R7 like the Sigma 17-50 F2.8 lens or should i sell it and try to get a Sigma 18-35 F1.8. I know i will be loosing focal length. But i need the low like the 1.8 lens would offer.

I have a question.. Which Camera is good R7 or R?

That was great to see your EVF during the shoots. It makes me wonder if the new canons are that much better than my R, or if I have something set up wrong or there is something wrong with my R. When I am shooting 5fps with back button focus, once I’ve got shots in the buffer (not full), if I stop shooting to move the focus point I loose the EVF and basically the camera until the buffer is completely empty a few seconds later. Is this normal for the R? Instead of recomposing to see the reaction at the end of a race, I have to continue shooting straight through those extra seconds and hope my focus point hasn’t jumped to another athlete before the finish, otherwise I miss the finish completely. Love what I’m seeing, definitely plan to add the R7 to my gear, awesome review.

Shooting craw in electronic high-speed gives more buffer

Great job,my wife bought me a r7 for my birthday, it's very good, I use it with my 100-400 ll for birds the autofocus is excellent.

Excellent as always , I was thinking of a RF but this may have swayed me to a R7 , I’ve also got some Crop sensor lenses I can use where they would have been redundant if I had gone for a RF

great review, thank you very much!

is it possible to know your opinion about the battery and the electronic shutter?

In France, 99% of the reviews seem distorted because of the sponsorship of denoising software and the "pressure" of the brand.

We have just learned that the R7 will officially not have Grip.

I no longer understand Canon's policy with its overpriced small aperture lenses (for example: 100-500 @ F7.1Vs 100-400 II @ F5.6) and the loss of grip will make you lose the possibility of doubling the battery and the ergonomics of the case for regular users.

A great pity: I will not buy this device despite its qualities.


thank you very much, once again.

"Right before we jump into this video"...and then I cut you off 😄😄

I'm trying to decide between R and R7. I mostly do portraits but also like to get my kiddos in action at home. What are your thoughts?

Is it worth it to save a little longer and get the r6 instead of the r7?

I'm a teen who just got into wildlife(especially bird) photography and I really want this camera(It fits my needs so well) but I just don't have enough money(as i'm a student) to get this with any good lenses. I think i'm just going to get an eos m6 mk ii so I can get decent glass. Any thoughts or ideas?

Would you recommend this camera for a beginner

So for a still only photographer u recommende this or A7iii? I never touch the video on the camera!

Been using tbe R7 and RF100-400 lens for past few weeks. Tracking on the screen looks good however photos taken are soft. Difficult to get tack sharp eyes of wildlife. Been trying a few methods but I have to conclude this is the limit of camera. Good reach but too bad the focusing dont match. So for picky shooters, can look some where else. Thanks for a great video as always!
