It’s fair to say that in the near future, but Canon’s new EOS R7 is getting some rave reviews. This reviewer says it’s a “success on the run,” so let’s see what all the fuss is about.
The Canon EOS R7 was recently released by Canon and has been giving glowing reports since it entered the market. If you’re not sure what’s the difference between the R7 and other mirrorless R models, the biggest takeaway is that the R7 has an APS-C sensor, as opposed to the full frame sensor on the Canon EOS R5. When I first started my journey in digital photography, I bought a Canon with an APS-C sensor, mainly because it was cheaper, and at the time, I was still is a student with a reasonable budget. But that’s also because I was primarily interested in surfing at the time, and the APS-C sensor (on any camera) was great for shooting sports or wildlife because of the 1.5 crop factor. x or 1.6x, allowing you to get closer to your subjects.
That brings us to this amazing new video by Christopher Frost in which he reviews the recently released Canon EOS R7. What I really like about Frost’s reviews is that he’s very measured and objective. He doesn’t try to overwhelm his reviews with a big personality or edit bells and whistles. He simply took a product and thoroughly evaluated it, which is exactly what I wanted when I saw the reviews. Here he put the new one $1499 EOS R7 through its paces with a variety of lenses, including some third-party lenses with adapters. An interesting issue is that Canon has banned third-party production of some RF mount lenses. How might that affect your decision about this great new Canon camera? Watch the video and let me know what you think.
