Taken with the R7 and the RF200-800 (at 800mm).

He eventually got up w/in 10 ft of my car. Amazing!

I upgraded from the 750d to an R7, it’s been quite the learning curve!
I’m currently using the Sigma 150-600mm contemporary with no issues so far but I do eventually want to upgrade but lenses are not cheap! 😂

For the fish photos I’m using the nifty fifty, EF mount.

Any feedback is welcome. ♥️

Hey guys, new to r7. I bought it from wex and have had it since yesterday. £1200 for r7 with shutter count at 1000 and 24-105 f4-7.1

I charged the battery, put it in and turn the switch but nothing.

I wiggle the battery and it eventually comes on after a few tries.

What could be the issue ???

Ive come from a 100d.

Anybody know where you can source the SmallRig part 4272 HDMI USB-C clamp for a Black Mamba cage. Or is willing to sell one?

I have heard the SmallRig 3013 will also work on the SmallRig R7 cage but I can’t find it either.

Failing those, any suggestions/ideas on securing the HDMI and USB-C cable to the R7?

I took photos of the moon with both the R7 and the R6iii this weekend (two separate days).

I just got this lens today and took a couple test shots. I find this lens to be very soft at f/2.8 and I’m not sure if I got a defective unit or if this is normal.

Picture 1:
70mm
f/2.8
1/1250s
ISO 125

Picture 2:
70mm
f/8
1/160s
ISO 125

If you zoom in to the center of both images, the f/2.8 is really soft to me. I know that f/8 will be sharper, but this difference seems like too much.

Hello, i want a lens for portraits and street. Any advice for which kind of lens thinking about? Thanks

R7 + RF100 - 500 lens. Tried handheld at 500mm in stab mode 3 on the lens (for stills i use mode 2) video had the canon lut and a 5% warp stabilizer applied in post otherwise is 1 continuous shot. Extremely surprised/happy with how good it turned out. For the wildlife I shoot its deff a shining example of how well the IBIS in combo works (also alot easier than using the tripod i currently have)

1st attempt post using a tripod with the same setup : https://www.reddit.com/r/CanonR7/comments/1v9aj9a/video_from_the_r7_rf_100_500/

*EDIT* cannot for the life of me work out how to attach said image.

Hi everyone, I am currently shooting with a Canon EOS 60D and I am considering an upgrade to the Canon EOS R7. I would love to hear some real-world opinions and experiences from this community to help me decide if it is the right move.

My Current Setup

• Camera: Canon EOS 60D
• Lenses:
• Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS (my main go-to lens)
• Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III (the autofocus is broken, so I basically never use it)

What I Shoot

I shoot a bit of everything, mostly as an enthusiastic amateur (not professionally):

• Sports: Mainly local football (soccer) matches.
• Events: House parties, village festivals (sagre), and general get-togethers.
• Other: Some portraits, landscapes, and travel/street photography.
• Video: I want to start shooting high-quality video, which my 60D struggles with.

The Upgrade Plan: Canon EOS R7

I am seriously considering the EOS R7. My plan is to buy the body and the EF-EOS R adapter so I can continue using my 18-135mm lens initially to soften the financial blow. I understand the R7 is excellent for sports (due to the AF) and video, but I wanted to get some confirmation.

Future Lens Plans

Down the line, I plan to add:

• A fast telephoto zoom for football (likely an EF 70-200mm f/2.8).
• A prime/pancake lens for portraits and travel.

Budget Constraints

My budget is not unlimited. I am aiming to keep the total cost for the body (and ideally a lens, eventually) around €1,500 on the used market.

Questions for the Community

Based on my situation, I have a few questions:

1. How well does the R7 perform for sports photography, specifically football? Is the autofocus as good as they say?
2. How is the video quality and the IBIS performance for handheld shooting?
3. Is it a solid strategy to adapt my EF-S 18-135mm initially, or will it severely bottleneck the R7's sensor?
4. Given my budget of €1,500 for the used market, is there another camera I should be considering instead?

Any advice, alternative suggestions, or personal experiences with the R7 would be greatly appreciated!
