EOS R7 CAMERA

❤️❤️❤️❤️

The Canon EOS R7 was introduced In May 2022 , their first RF lens body with a APS-C sensor format, using the same RF lens mount as Canon full-frame models. The EOS R7 features a resolution of 32.5MP sensor, faster shooting, a larger viewfinder and in-body image stabilisation, and we have been testing the body in the real world here at the Meadow hide , coupled with Canon’s 200-800 RF 6.3-9 IS USM lens.

The EOS R7 uses the LP-E6NH batteries shared by the EOS R6 and R5 models. Giving a potential 660 number of shots when using the viewfinder. Our experience using the camera was that the battery was probably good for more shots and in normal circumstances should last you a full day in normal use, so there should be no worries about running ours of power. You also get twin UHS-II SD card slots, which live behind their own door on the side of the camera giving easy access if you are using a tripod . Overall feel is that the body is well constructed and has a control layout that will feel very familiar if you are a canon user.

As a wildlife photographer the camera the APS-c sensor gives your lens choice a real bonus with it’s 1.6 crop factor bringing you much closer to the action. We coupled the body with Canon’s excellent 200-800 RF lens for the test , and in reality 500mm was about the maximum zoom needed to frame our subject , so a real winner. Another really useful feature , the camera display shows the exact mm of zoom clearly in the bottom right hand corner , great if like me you use the camera in a dark hide !

The EOS R7 has the subject recognition modes inherited from the EOS R3, letting you choose to prioritize people, animals or vehicles. We found this a little hi and miss when testing, especially above 500mm but in general the auto focus worked well , one slight drawback , i found the shutter noice quite loud compared with the R5 i normally use . Speaking of the shutter and frame count the R7 can shoot 15 frames per second with full AF using its mechanical shutter and has a larger image buffer making it more practical for shooting bursts of action.

As the first camera in the EOS R range with an APS-C sized sensor, the EOS R7 is designed to provide the perfect balance between resolution, speed and low-light performance. Offering sensitivity up to ISO 32,000 for stills and ISO 12,800 for video, the EOS R7 has an incredible response to light for beautifully exposed images.

Each of the sensor’s 32 million pixels is also split into two photosites for Dual Pixel CMOS AF II focusing and Dual Pixel RAW capabilities. Dual Pixel CMOS AF operates in up to 651 autofocus zones (31 x 21) with virtually 100 per cent coverage of the frame – so you can capture all the finer details to produce stunningly sharp results.

Reinforcing the EOS R7 as the ideal sports and wildlife camera is the Dual Pixel CMOS AF II. Programmed using deep-learning AI, this AF system recognises people, animals and vehicles wherever they are in the frame. And, with the ability to shoot continuously at up to 30 fps with the silent electronic shutter, you can capture even the most fleeting moments whilst following your subjects with the AE lock and tracking AF.

By investing in the EOS R7’s video capabilities, Canon has packed in some impressive features to make this camera an incredibly flexible shooter. The EOS R7 boasts 4K video with an oversampled 30fps mode, a slow-motion 60p mode and a separate crop mode. With Ultra-HD video recording and Canon Log 3, EOS R7 footage slots easily into professional editing workflows for vloggers, colourists and filmmakers alike. And, with support for vertical video, the EOS R7 is perfect for social media sharing.

With Wi-Fi connectivity, the EOS R7 benefits from image.canon cloud features. RAW files can be processed to reduce noise and moire for more natural-looking JPEG and HEIF files. You can also get your content to wherever it needs to be by connecting to your smartphone and sharing your snaps on social media.

Taking the EOS R7 into the realm of high-end mirrorless cameras is the in-body Image Stabiliser (IBIS). Working in concert with an RF lens’ optical IS, this system can deliver up to 7 stops of protection against camera shake. Even without an IS lens, the EOS R7 IBIS maintains highly effective stabilisation, so you can go handheld without worrying about too much blur.

The EOS R7’s in-body IS (IBIS) can also be used to auto-level images, making wonky horizons a thing of the past. This feature can be used in tandem with the IBIS and is available with both mechanical and electronic shutters – it also comes in handy when you’re attempting a panorama and works for any RF, RF-S, EF or EF-S lens.

So should you splash the cash ? Well while the R7 is no match for the R5 and why would it be given the difference in price , the R7 is a well made , feature loaded and capable camera that gives excellent results at a very pleasing price point . YES YES YES !
