Here we are a year later and still, there's absolutely nothing new here. It's all "deja vu". Unfortunately Canon did the same with its EF-S & completely lost it with its E-FM cropped system. Canon missed the boat and actually crippled the M system from day one. I don't believe they're will be many new RF-S lenses released in the foreseeable future. Canon want you to use expensive FF lenses on your APS-C body if you're after the best. Personally I'm happy to use my RP as my main camera, I only use my R7 when I need the extra reach using my RF lenses even though the R7 beats the RP in most other areas. Having said that, I've just invested in the EOS M2 to experiment with the Magic Lantern software and see what the fuss is all about.

I use a Canon R6 as my main camera and the R7 is my supplement especially for small wildlife photography. I’m not a pro, but I am happy for my cameras. I only use Canons PRO lenses, eg. 100-500 mm as an example. That lens gives me 800mm equivalent on the R7.

Well, i really like the camera ☺️ Specially together with Sigma 18-35 f/1.8. Heavy, yes, but image is really good in my opinion ☺️ Hope we’ll see good quality, fast and more affordable RF-S lenses than the RF counterpart down the road.

Canon aren't going to give you the glass you want. The trajectory of their product line and lens system tells us all we need to know. Anybody who can't or isn't willing to spend on Canon's grossly overpriced glass is going to be left out of it. Harsh but true. I shoot Sony and I'm not a fan of a number of aspects of the system.

I'm a wildlife/bird photog and a Nikon user... (currently a Z6ii) I almost pre-ordered an R7 for the 1.6 crop AND Canon's superior AF tracking. I just can't justify changing brands for a better AF system but I do hope Nikon answers with a mirrorless replacement for the venerable D500.

I think the R7 couples great with the 100-400mm lens, for shooting semi-macro of small animals.

Initially, I thought it would be a great 2nd camera for birding to my R5 with its 1.6x crop factor for extended reach and even faster frame rate. But no, the microscopic buffer size killed it for me. I decided to just to keep the R5 for now before I work out later whether I should still stick with Canon.

The buffer isn't microscopic. I shoot wildlife, mostly action. I am currently working on a project on a falcon nest. Very fast moving. Using the R7 almost exclusively. I have yet to hit the buffer. 51 frames! That's only a few less than my R6. Most fast action is long over before I hit that! That's over 3 seconds at 15fps. That's better than the highly touted ("professional grade") 7dii 24 (as I recall) at 10fps.

I tried the X-H2S, and it's the only camera I want at this moment. That could change. A 40mp Fuji is being launched soon in NY. The R7 is great, but the thought of investing in full-frame glass to squeeze the best performance out of it is nauseating.

I was surprised to see the jittery AF performance. I purchased an M50 and an M6 mk2 for a project I was doing. I used EF glass on them, with a viltrox speedbooster, and never experienced the type of problem you've experienced with your R7, which I would have assumed would blow the M series bodies out of the water!

I pre-ordered r7 and after waiting for over a month I heard about two new RF lenses for about $800 that are not as compelling as sigma art 24-70 f2.8. I canceled my order. I am upset with Canon lineup and prices. I think I will go for Sony full frame and sigma lens.

Some great point well made Hugh. I have taken the plunge into mirrorless aps-c by getting the Fujifilm X-S10 as Fujifilm currently has the widest range of dedicated aps-c mirrorless lenses to suit most budgets and genres. For example, I recently purchased the tiny Fujifilm XC 35mm F2.0 lens for only £169 (brand new, UK) and it is tack sharp and has lovely colours, contrast and bokeh! I really don't see Canon, Sony or Nikon investing much into their mirrorless aps-c systems going off what they did (or did not) do in the past with DSLR's. Interestingly, the best selling digital cameras in Japan at the moment is still the Canon M50 II (twin lens kit).

For a few reasons I don't see their restrictions on 3rd party RF lenses as much of a limit. OTOH, if you want to avoid companies that enforce their IP rights you're going to find a lot more limits on what's available to you. What annoys me is other decisions they make that are (presumably) based on the bottom line instead of giving us the best products. The video says the R7 is "the least compromised" but there are lots of compromises. I'm primarily interested in wildlife, so what I was really hoping for was essentially an APS-C version of the R5. They came close, but (especially considering they're already offering the market an inexpensive APS-C with the R10) I'd rather see a $2000 to $2300 price in exchange for a better sensor and processor(s). What annoys me even more is that somebody made a decision that's probably going to turn out to be a complete deal breaker. My current Canons all have a Canon +2 viewfinder correction lens that gives me much more than the extra +0.5 correction I need in addition the built-in -3 to +2 correction in order to use the camera without my glasses, but it looks like they've discontinued all of those correction lenses. There's no way I'm spending even $500 for a camera that only offers a blurry viewfinder if there's an alternative, so that's the reason I'm also looking at moving to one of their competitors.

@Pablo you’re right. Taking photos are what most of the Canon cameras do best. The issue is the people who make KZread content about cameras rarely do just photos and these hybrid units are insufficient. But even then, why does anyone choose a crop sensor unit for strictly photography when the RP or R units are full frame for less money? They do wonderful photos but do lack high burst speed and IBIS. I’m not sure why landscape or portrait photographers looking to simply take pictures spend money on anything else honestly.

Everything you said made perfect sense to me and was pretty much a reflection of my journey with Canon. I started my DSLR journey with a Rebel XT with the kit lens in 2005. Once I knew what I was doing, I bought a 28 mm f/1.8 and upgraded to a 7D in 2010. As my budget and skill improved, I started wanting faster and better lenses with fixed apertures. That's when I realized that Canon pretty much had a single fast(ish) zoom made for APS-C: the 17-55mm f/2.8. I went through a lot of lenses thinking they were all soft since I hadn't realized that my camera body actually had focusing issues. I then bought a 24-105 mm f/4L hoping to get sharp images and a not to narrow maximum aperture to no avail. I quickly discovered that the 24-105 mm range was not so great on a APS-C body. I also realized that my camera body was the actual cause of my image sharpness problems since the pictures I took while using live-view were as sharp as I expected. After years of back and forth with Canon's technical support, I struck a deal to buy a 5D Mk IV at slightly reduced price for all the trouble I had lived with for years. I though my focusing troubles were over. I was wrong. Over the years, I have bought a pretty good lineup of EF lenses (6), a teleconverter from Canon and one Tamron. I also have numerous Canon flashes and accessories. To this day, I still have focusing problems even with what I consider to be pretty much high-end gear, namely a 5D Mk IV and 70-200 mm f/2.8 IS USM II. I still get sharper images using live-view despite having fiddled with micro-focus adjustments to the limit of my sanity. I wondered if all my EF glass would work well on RF bodies. Given that I only like to shoot with the viewfinder, I figured that the R5 with it's higher resolution viewfinder is probably the best option for me. However, it just too expensive. I don't want to replace all my lenses because that would mean loosing lots of money. Honestly, I'm starting to wonder if I should switch camera system even if it means replacing nearly all my gear.

I'm shocked to hear you had issues with the 5D Mark 4 and the epic 70-200 f2.8. You know if you send the lens and camera together for routine maintenance they'll focus align the two together insuring you have a properly calibrated AF system. That way you know those two should be perfect. My 5D Mark IV\1DX Marc II is now a backup camera since I'm all R5 and R3 now with all RF glass. But at one point in time i was pulling my hair out with images not so sharp coming from my EF and DSLR's. I purchased all the software to align them up and everything and after becoming part of the CPS member getting that free camera check and alignment I did that for a few and found my sensor was off and my focus mirror or whatever on the 1DX was going bad. After those two fixes everything was spot on. Might be worth paying for CPS and give a few lenses and camera a real cleaning and calibration with lens attached so you know for sure. FYI The two issues i had never really showed up on my purchased focusing tools hence micro changes didn't help.

Had a similar problem with my 1st Rebel cam. It was front focusing on the viewfinder. It was ok on the LCD. Canon fixed it by using their proprietary software calibration as per tech.

You focused (pardon the sorta pun) on a valid issue with Canon - the limited array of lens options. I am a long term (four decades) Canon user, mostly cuz I understand the menus and the system and the menu of futz work-arounds ... oh, and the investment in EF glass (I have an RF adapter). But, when I upgraded to an R5, I thought for sure it would be followed by a cavalcade of Canon and 3rd party lens. This has not really happened. 🙁 I also have a Canon M6 Mk2 which is my lightweight/compact backup system. I suspect this camera has the same sensor as the R7. For the size/weight/profile, the M6 Mk2 system works well [though I have always been somewhat disappointed with the color depth] ... And then Canon constructively abandoned the system/mount - once again strangling the lens array options. The M mount had some promise for smaller lighter weight lens systems. But, I posit, this also may have penciled out for smaller lighter weight profit margins. So ... the sensor got stuck into the R7 system.

Until the Z9 arrives, I use the R6 and Z6II together, and the layout of the Z6II matches the layout of the R6 better for my needs than the R6 and the R7 (the R7 switches on/off roughly where my R6 changes aperture) do.

@@351linzdoctor it's actually 17mp on the R5, and 8mp on the R6 from memory. But even then, 17mp vs 32 mp is a big loss in resolution imho. If you are shooting in reasonably good light, then the high ISO performance of the R7 doesn't really matter. From memory (I am no expert on Sony cameras) the A9 etc are far more expensive than a R5. And their animal eye detect AF is inferior too. This is also important for birding and wildlife photography, more so than high ISO imho, especially with the availability of PP software such as DXO Pure RAW 2 and Topaz Denoise AI. Noise on my ancient 60D (what I am using atm) cleans up very nicely up to ISO 2000 and that's probably a stop worse than the 7D II which I've just purchased but haven't had a chance to use yet duet work and weather.

I ordered the R7 and plan to use it with my Sigma 50-100 f1.8, 18-35 f1.8, and will test my older Sigma 50-150mm f/2.8 APO EX DC OS HSM with it. I also ordered the 100-400 and 800f11 so we will see. The RF lens line up does make this tricky and I also don’t like heavy glass. Used to be an M43 guy but my RX100M3, RX100M7, and RX10M4 took over those duties. Unfortunately my kids like to do sports in dungeons so I am back to heavy glass and semi larger sensor. I would love any insight on the R7 and sigma line up from anyone already using this combo.

Hugh. I love your videos. I love someone who speaks in their videos like they wrote a well reasoned, persuasive essay before filming, rather than the typical ‘mumbling through in a self-deprecating, perhaps even self-negating style’ Having said that, some advice: please stop crowing about full-sized HDMI ports in cameras. It’s just not going to happen. Avoid the mistake of looking at only the cable connectors. Look at the size of the port itself. And not just the size of the rectangular opening in the bank of ports on the body. No. Look at the *volume* that a full size HDMI port would eat up inside the camera body. They are HUGE inside an otherwise insanely cramped enclosure. It’s just not going to happen because to make it so camera manufacturers would have to sacrifice a major point of competition, camera body size. And they’re going to ask themselves, “If we can get the same function out of a smaller connector, why?” I could see the argument if we were talking dedicated cine cameras like a Red Helium or something where it needs to be bomb-proof for intense daily shooting under the brutal, militaristic conditions of Hollywood. The trade-off of a little size for ruggedness is common. Think laptops ruggedized for oil rig use, pelican cases, and astronaut gear at NASA. But for the vast majority of us, a full sized HDMI port just doesn’t matter when an adapter or adapting cable can be purchased if necessary. Is the micro-HDMI fragile? You bet! Is it fiddly? Yep. But it’s compact and that matters more than anything.

And performance-wise, it was very good, though the images weren't as clean as those from my R6. But I came to ask myself was it worth spending a couple grand on a backup camera. Like you, I also came to realize the lens issue. It is frustrating that Canon seemed to just adapt the M-mount kit lenses to use on this new line rather than coming up with appropriate glass. These lenses offer middling quality, which is why the M series failed. So, yes, I could use my RF glass, but then I am compromising that due to the APSC sensor limitations, and I would get no savings on weight, since the R7 is not that much lighter than the R6.

It's less than twice the price of a teleconverter and comes with a battery. The lack of glass is a real bummer with EOS M. Don't start me on the 32 f1.4 not being stabilised. The R7 needs good quality fast glass, otherwise they should have kept with the M series. I've got a R6, but it gets heavy and bulky when I travel.

I've been wanting to upgrade to a more prosumer setup (pro features without having to pay for pro prices) and the R7 and Fuji XT4 are the two bodies I'm currently looking into. You just expressed my exact same problems with Canon's current lens lineup. You can always find work-arounds with adapters or speed boosters but if you want to stick to native lenses and a simple setup that offers you a seamless experience Canon RF and RF-S isn't it right now. The EOS M system had so much potential but it got canceled. The EF-M 32mm 1.4 is an excellent lens. If only the made a few more EF-M primes like an 85mm or a 200mm it would have made EOS M (my current system) worth sticking to. Right now Fujifilm is seriously convinving me to switch brands

Thank you for this. I currently film on a canon m50 an DC I'm looking to upgrade next year. This definitely h err lips since I already have a lot of adapted ef glass I am hoping th o stay with canon. I'll see how the dust settles in the next year.

As you and many of the people making comments have outlined any camera choice is about “use case” along with price and fit in the hand. If all photogs agreed on gear and brand there would be only one maker and a huge hole in the KZread community. Very interesting piece and definitely not for you but for me the R7 is my B cam backup for my R5 at 1/3 the price and for that job I love it. Cheers from NZ 😀

The button wheel is perfect for ISO, just use the Adapter ring or RF for aperture. Mechanical only. Boom, that mirrorless AF is tracking blows my mind coming from 5dsRs..Also takes the cheap v30 SD card for 4K 25 and a decent burst rate for stills

To me, the best argument for this camera is the Sigma 18-35 and 50-100 f1.8 zooms. Now, you can use them on a camera with IBIS and proper autofocus. But, what I am hearing here is the EF-RF adapter is not handling autofocus all that well. I have been using the 18-35 on Micro Four Thirds with a Viltrox EF-M2 speedbooster, and it looks great but struggles to autofocus properly -- even on my OM-D E-M1 Mark II. I just bought a used 50-100 today and hope to use it as well. But those lenses alone make a great case for the R7.

I'm shooting birds and I'm lucky enough to own the RF 600mm f/4. $1,500 to shoot at 960mm at f/4, the R7 was a no brainer, for me.

if its out of stock then surely its doing "bad". i got one and actually like it.

R6 and 90D, and I should really let go of the RP, which was my gateway to using fully my wide angle lenses. The 90D got a ‘second life’ when I switched from the Tamron to the Canon EF 100-400. It just focuses and track. And I’ll keep a DSLR in my bag for some time still, the battery life is still much better. I’ve reached the limit of the buffer pretty quickly with the 90D, something the R7 hasn’t much improved on. I have not reached the end of the buffer with the R6, while shooting on H+ with the electronic curtain.

I see a lot of noise on the Canon R7 from 3200. I’m not sure if it’s a particular body problem or the R7 is like that. I’m thinking whether to go for Nikon D500 and 200-500. Any thoughts?

with the R7 i'm waiting for them to stop messing about and put a bsi sensor in a crop camera maybe the R7II or an R2 until them, i'm happy to continue on with my M50, i love its compact efm lenses like the very impressive 32mm ƒ1.4, it also handles the larger ef lenses very well for a sub £500 camera

i see your points indeed. i got the r7 for filming motorcycle stunts in 4k60 and some photo on the side. 3 month and 20k+ photos later im deep in the rabbit hole. got a used ef 70-200 II f/2.8 and a used rf15-35 f/2.8 and both are great. had the rf35 1.8 for a while too which was very sharp and nice bookeh. its tempting to move to a full frame canon body in the future to use this glass. i got both my lenses very cheap but would never buy these at retail for a crop camera, hopefully canon will license third party to make some good aps-c glass. edit: canon must be aware of the situation when they bundle a ef-rf adapter in a budget camera. hopefully ef is not the long term solution

do you find yourself using the cropped 4k 60 or the non cropped? Def. noticeable image quality difference but not sure if the crop is worth the hassle.

Those who have been around in the Canon camp for a while, seem to share the opinion that R7 is not a 7Dii replacement - it is more like an R70 model, if one was using the old DSLR naming convention. It is also no secret that the move to mirrorless design has allowed the manufacturer to reclaim their price dictating powers to recoup from the slump in profits mainly carved out by the mobile phones over the last 5-10 years. However for hobbyists like me, who own legacy EF glass but leveled off their purchases at 50D and 5Dii, R7 offers a better RF migratory path - in terms of local price/performance ratio - than RP or R6 do at the moment, and the more compelling move away from looking at second hand 5Div and 5DS(R) models. Good video, enjoyable as always.

My thoughts exactly. Enjoying my R7 so far but can't decide what lens to buy. Going around in circles!!!

Great video and I think I am in a similar position even though I am already kinda invested in the RF system with a EOS R & RF 85mm 1.2 (the rest are RF glass and older DSLR EF mount cameras). I nearly pulled the trigger on the R7 when it was available until I realized my lens choices will be so limited; and despite what everyone says, fitting an EF lens to a RF body is not really a good idea, an adapter, I had my EF-RF Canon adapter kinda fail twice out on assignment before and although it didn't fail completely but left really bad taste in the mouth. RF lens choice is simply too good & too expensive or affordable but average optically, to buy more EF glass now is like buying into a soon-to-be obsolete system. So I am looking to switch to another system entirely or at least move my main body to another system whilst keeping the RF stuff as backup.

Wow! An adapter failed? I'm sorry....almost failed? I've been shooting an R6 for over two years and an R7 for almost a year, thousands of shots without a hint of an issue. All I own are EF lenses. I may never buy an RF native lens. Perfectly happy. Getting amazing shots that I could never get before. I think an adapter failure would be extremely rare.

Now finding out that other manufacturers are forced to quit producing RF lenses… no sigma trio (16, 30, 56mm) for this one. No tamron, no viltrox, no samyang… in my mind the r7 was going to be the best budget camera of the past years and in the last week it has become the most likely to fail. Sorry canon, tried to love you but you keep making it hard to.

There is also a focus wobble at 9:40 without any real scene change.

Damn. I wanted to buy the R7 for sports but I am afraid of the noise the crop sensor might have. I am shooting a R6 right now but I need tighter shots. I have my 70-200 but I really need a 300. Obviously that is an expensive lens. I thought ok I can get tighter with the crop factor but what am I sacrificing? Should I just get the 120-300 2.8 sigma to pair with my R6, which is a $3500 lens or get the R7 body which is around $1200. Decisions.

Been saying the same for a while. The limited lens options really hurt this system. I have an R7 with 18-150mm, a 10-18mm efs, and 24-105 ef. When using the ef glass and adapters people need to be mindful the stabilization benefits are not even close to what you get with rf lenses. That's to be expected but it is very different for video. Also I can't get past the way better lens options I have for my Sony a6600. I still use it at all my weddings. I barely use my r7 yet. I do like the image though

It worries me that Canon won't support it properly ever and that makes it a tough sell to buy into it as a new system. Especially when I have a very strong lens ecosystem and mount support in Fuji it just doesn't make sense to walk away from that to a potentially dead end mount for relatively minor things like color science and autofocus.

There is a reason I’m looking at the Leica CL and the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8.

While I was considering the r7 I am now putting a hold on this purchase. Canon's decision to issue cease and desist letters to Valtrex and perhaps a larger plan to prevent all third-party manufacturers from creating autofocus lenses for the rf mount means this is no longer an affordable platform for a casual photographer. While professionals have a budget and can justify paying double what a third-party lens is priced at in come cases I simply cannot. Being on a fixed disability income it's simply out of my budget.

My reasoning was that ,,in the kit.. that lens with it's attractive 20mm wide angle, only ads $300 to the price so I rate it as a bargain. I'd have been stupid not to. Still, I ran right out and got the latest Sigma 28-70 2.8 to be my "real lens"... along with the Sigma Lmount to EF adapter to follow you in buying some bargain legacy glass at good prices. I'm doing this in hopes that L-Squared will actually amount to something,, IF not--I still have a great full frame camera with pretty amazing video capabilities at an affordable enough price to make it my second system... Good luck wherever you land,,it's never perfect...

I think the RF-S range is the result of an MBA at Canon observing that the APS-C DSLR is dead, and the EF-M line is needlessly doubling their SKU set, with associated inventory and manufacturing costs, so they need something to sell to the customers who bought APS-C bodies, but that seems like it's part of the RF line. Yes this makes no sense from a technical perspective.

Would you have considered the RF 24mm IS f1.8? That is coming out tomorrow. $599

For me, none of Canon's STM lenses is worth buying. The extending tube / front focus design and the AF motor noise is driving me nuts. Stepper motor's from the 90's. I hope Canon runs out of stock soon.
