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.
