Working at a university, travelling to remote locations for ethnographic filming and photography. I keep thinking the canon R would be better for low light conditions as its not always easy to film and photograph in these locations with flashes and other portable lighting solutions. I must admit its such a toss up that even after watching your vid Im still torn between the two

Thank you for leaving any screens with writing on them long enough for normal humans to actually read! So many KZreadrs flash writing on the screen and by the time I have focused it's gone! Much appreciated.

Thanks for the great comparison. It confirms my choice. 😊After four years I'm still happy with the EOS R, which i use for portrait and real estate shootings. Here the FF sensor has advantages regarding depth of field and ultra wide angle shots. Few months ago I bought the R7 and it's a perfect addition for shooting fast moving objects, animals and sports and I can use the much lighter tele lenses.

Thank you so much for this comparison video! I was torn between the two, but right now my local camera shop has the EOS R on sale for like $900 and I’m thinking I really can’t go wrong with that. Right now I’m shooting with the 80D & it’s starting to crap out on me especially the tethering to my Mac and I am a product photographer so the video capability isn’t a big deal with me.

Great description video about those two cameras. Thanks

I’m currently visiting NYC for work. I bought the R7 + the 24-105 F4. Best decision I made. Great low light, great dynamic range, fast, great video performance, and great photo quality, all while being light and compact. I love using it for street photography, interviews, b-roll content and so on. If anyone is on the fence, get the R7.

great comparison video, was just what I was looking for as both cameras are tempting at the moment. I've currently got a 70D so looking for an upgrade but unsure which way to go. Your video has given me some food for thought! Maybe if I can get a bargain EOS R it might be more tempting....Looking forward to seeing more R7/R content. Keep up the good work

Nice review! I’m still indecisive though… looking for a backup camera for my R6 (I’m mainly focusing on travel - that could be anything: landscapes, details, animals, portraits - and portraits and don’t want to find myself in the desert when my 1 camera breaks down). Looking into both these options as I can’t spend as much as I did on my main one… any thoughts on a good back up solution? The R for the moment has a promotion over here so it’s about 300€ cheaper than the R7, so for a backup body, that might be worth taking into consideration. Just a bit sad it has no animal eye detection as I would should animals on travels too… so that’s why I’m still in doubt…

Exactly that video I needed 😭 torn between which one to get

I was using a lot the RP. As much people hated on it even in reviews, mostly they missed the point of the RP... a more affordable full frame camera and SMALL/LIGHT, sure it was crippled and in some ways even unnecessary, but i LOVED IT. Sadly my habits changed a lot from stills/family/travel/landscape/astro stuff to wildlife/video centric so i even began to "hate" the RP over time. The R7 saved me a lot of hassle since i thought already about switching to a MFT system for wildlife dedicated only.

I shoot with an EOS-R for the past 3 years and the 90D for almost as long. I am considering getting the R7 to take the place of the 90D for its focusing capabilities. I do like having both APSC and FF cameras. They are tools used for different things. A zoom lens that I use on both cameras is the 100-400IIL which is a 160-640 FOV on my 90D (or R7) and a 100-400 on the R. I use a Tamron 17-50/2.8 on the 90D and a Canon EF 24-70/4L-IS on the R giving similar capabilities. They do share the Tamron 35-150/2.8-4-VC yielding a 56-240 FOV on the 90D. My 28/1.8 and 50/1.4 and 85/1.8 are used on both cameras as well. So...Get the R and the R7.

I would suggest an R8 over the R7. The full frame sensor is better in low light. The EOS R is also a very capable camera if you're not shooting in the dark. It has trouble focusing on the dark.

I'm still hesitating, as I do some sports photography, but I'd still like to have the detail of the eos r and the autofocus of the r7. Which one do you think is better to do both?

@vaskoobscura_

Жыл бұрын

You could consider the R6. It's better than the R decent for sports at 20 frames per second and you can probably find one used at a good price now that the R6mkII is out.

I think the best compromise is to get both if you're into all types of photography. For wild life, with a 600mm lens and on 4k crop mode, the R7 gives you an equivalent focal length of 1740mm due to the 1.6 times crop factor on the R7 and 1.81 times crop factor of the video mode on top of that. In good light it's an incredible reach for such a low budget. And there's no better crop sensor mirrorless camera from Canon anyway. Then in low light conditions, of course a full frame body will shine and for that reason I'd pick up a cheap used mirrorless or even a DSLR because the autofocus isn't as important for low light photography because you're not tracking animals etc and I find shooting sports with a cheap dslr easier than shooting birds on a mirrorless despite the mirrorless has a miles better autofocus. But if you want all of these extreme features at once, Fujifilm offers 102 megapixel mirrorless full frame bodies of which you can crop heavily and still get an incredible reach and higher detail than the R7's 32.5mp sensor as that sensor has a pixel density of approx 86megapixels full frame equivalent therefore with a 102mp full frame image, you can easily crop it and get even slightly further reach at the same pixel count. But it'll cost 4-5 times more than the R7 so getting a cheap used full frame as a backup in your backpack alongside with the R7, and having to deal with swapping cameras or having to carry an extra camera will be the best budget friendly compromise you can make.

Great video, and I can tell you that I am more than happy to purchase the EOS R great purchase with amazing capabilities :)

My R7 did in ALL movie modes at least 1,5 hours and the limit at for example 4k60 was overheating after about 1,5 hours with 30-40% battery left. In the end... The R7 easily shoots with a full E6NH battery 1,5-3 hours straight.

If you're shooting things that move fast the R7 and the R3 are the two cameras Canon makes for shooting fast action. If you plan on shooting concerts in dark environments with the R7 it's important to keep in mind that the APS-C sensor get noisy fast in low light so it would be smart to invest in a fast lens. f1.2, f1.4, f1.8 something in that range.

The fact that it is lighter is a tremendous asset for hiking and carrying it all day, especially as I get older! Those who complain that it's not a "true successor" because it's not "beefy enough" miss the whole point! The autofocus totally blows away the clunky old system in the Mark ii, so much faster and more accurate. The detail in the 32 mpx. images (the equivalent of about 80 mpx. in a full frame camera) are incredible! Croppability is amazing! The button layout takes about ten minutes to get used to. Now I actually prefer it to my full frame Canon cameras layout. It is faster and more intuitive. As for the plastic (which just makes the camera lighter...much like the 100-500 RF lens incorporates plastic to make it lighter than the old EF 100-400), just don't drop it. Lighter really is better!
