Canon R7 Review
Anyone surprised they didn't like the joystick?
Amateur Photographer UK did a full review of the R7. The R7 (and corresponding R10) form beginnings of Canon's reluctant entry into APS-C sensor size on the RF mount.
As with any camera - it's all about the lenses, and I'm sorry Canon dropped the ball badly here. I still don't know what they were thinking. Canon has many many brilliant minds, so I'm sure there was a method to their madness.
The review is positive and they conclude with the following pros and cons and conclusion;
Pros;
- Compact, high-speed camera
- High-resolution sensor
- Rapid and reliable AF tracking
- Weather-sealed camera body*
- In-body image stabilisation (IBIS)
- High-quality 4K video
- 15/30fps continuous
Cons;
- Very limited range of RF-S lenses
- Rear joystick / command wheel takes some getting used to
- 2.36m dot EVF is somewhat low-resolution for the price
- Kit lenses aren’t weather sealed
Conclusion;
Overall, in our time with the Canon EOS R7, the camera performed almost flawlessly, with great results possible, with the only issues being the lack of lens choice. Whether you’re looking for a camera for stills or video, the high-speed and high-quality output of the R7 certainly makes for an appealing camera, however, without additional lenses it could easily feel limiting.
