Just How Good Is the Canon EOS R7 Mirrorless Camera?

The Canon 7D line of APS-C DSLRs were quite popular during their era, as they offered professional features seen in much more expensive lines like the flagship 1D series at a much more affordable price. In the mirrorless era, the EOS R7 has taken over that role, and it brings with it an impressive range of new features and upgrades that make it an intriguing option for a wide range of options. This excellent video review takes an in-depth look at the camera and the sort of performance and image quality you can expect from it in practice. 

Coming to you from Dustin Abbott, this awesome video takes a first look at the new Canon EOS R7 mirrorless camera. The EOS R7 comes with an impressive range of capabilities and upgraded features, including:

  • 32.5-megapixel APS-C sensor
  • ISO range of 100-25,600 (expandable to 51,200)
  • Continuous burst rate of up to 15 fps with mechanical shutter (30 fps with electronic shutter)
  • People, animal, and vehicle tracking autofocus
  • 4K video at up to 60 fps with 7K oversampling for improved quality
  • 1080p slow motion video at up to 120 fps
  • 5-axis in-body image stabilization offering up to 7 stops of compensation
  • Dual UHS-II card slots
  • 2.36-million-dot OLED EVF

All in all, the EOS R7 looks like a nice option for a wide range of applications. Check out the video above for Abbott's full thoughts.

As long as there is no 3rd party RF mount lenses this camera is irrelevant. Even if its best thing since invention of beer or cheese, still irrelevant. Give us 3rd party lenses for RF mount Canon.

At 75 yrs old I see no way to justify going mirrorless and discarding 20k of high end DSLR equipment.

At 75, I bought an R6 and sold one of my EOS5d Mk4's and was blown away. True, I took a bit of a financial hit, but still use all my EF lenses with an adaptor. At 76, I sold my other EOS5d Mk4 and bought an R7. I have bought an RF100-400 to give me a combination of camera and lens that is ideal for carrying with me on my daily walks. When I can afford it, I will buy the RF100-500. I have no intention to buy new wide angle lenses.
