I have a 5D Mk IV, an R5 and an R7. After going mirrorless, I rarely us the 5D although it is an excellent camera. The R5 is fantastic and the R7 has most of the R5 functions but with a higher resolution crop sensor.

You won't be disappointed with the R7.


Thank you very much I appreciate your opinion!

I am currently renting the R7 in order to assess whether this is my next camera. It is fantastic. Various pros and cons are that it gives great image quality even at high ISO, despite having lots of pixels for a crop sensor. Blazing shutter speed, focus bracketing, profocus. And I'm sure it goes on.
There are some critiques you will find on YouTube about how its focus point will inexplicably drop off of its target when using it for birding. So in a burst of shots it will be focused on the eye of the target, then suddenly it will blip over to focus on something nearby. I don't do that photography, so I don't particularly care. It's a problem that several on YouTube bring up.
What I suggest that you do is rent the camera with an adapter and try it for what you do. The best price for that was at Lens Rentals, and you will have the option to just buy it-- sending back the empty case. The asking price for my copy is the best price I've seen for a used one, and my copy is in perfect shape.
One possible issue for me was that one feature is that you can look thru the viewfinder and meanwhile use your finger to control the focal point on the main screen. It was very glitchy for me, although it's possible I was not doing it right or the sensitivity was wrong. But you should try that yourself. If nothing else, you will definitely have fun playing with this camera, like I am. I am still not sure what I will do.

Thanks Mark! I appreciate your opinion!
I hadn't thought of renting one but it sounds like an interesting idea.
Can I ask what camera you were using before the R7?

I had the 7D then the 7D MKii and now the R7. I will not go back to DSLR after having the mirrorless R7 because what you see is what you get. Plus, the focusing is so much faster with the R7.

A friend of mine had the 5D, latest mark whatever that is. He went on a photoshoot and was so disappointed because he had full frame and could not get the the better wildlife shots in the everglades that those with APS-C got. He purchased the Canon 7D MKii and uses his crop sensor camera over 90% of the time and lets his full frame camera sit.

I much prefer the crop sensor of the R7 mirrorless plus the extra features vs the DSLR.

You cannot go wrong with the R7.

It is a step up for what you shoot. The crop factor of the r7, resolution (crop factor), eye autofocus, 30 FPS, IBIS, and it uses the entire screen for focusing.
Since you shoot wildlife and sports then this is what I would want. You should at least rent one and see how you like it!


Thanks Dave!

I think it's the right camera for me. I like the crop factor which is the same as my 80d and it has 32 megapixels vs the R8 full frame 24 megapixels.

I'd have to know your current lenses to be confident in any specific selection. My attitude on mirrorless is IBIS is a must. The other features of mirrorless cameras, in general, depend on what the camera is intended for. The 'new' price of an EOS R7 and EOS R8 are the same from my quick look-up this evening. I'd look at the full-frame R8 over the R7, just keep your EOS 80D for the crop-factor, if ever needed.


I believe 18-135 and 70-200 2.8 II

A mirrorless camera will make you a better photographer, in fact, a better human. My point of the probing questions is to lead to the 'right' mirrorless camera, the candidate body that balances all the best features with the best price that best meets the individual's needs. The EOS R7 doesn't seem to meet this threshold for this community member, based on their stated needs and their current advanced EOS DSLR.


Paul,

Please elaborate on what other models of Canon mirrorless cameras you feel would be better suited to my style of photography besides for the R7 model.
Thanks,

I like my r7 but I came from a full frame 6d mk i. I wanted the extra reach for wildlife. It works fine with my ef lenses. The eye focus is good but not perfect, it does miss occasional. The 30 frames per second is nice but it’s a lot of pictures to go through. Never had a 80d so can’t say it would be worth the upgrade.


Thanks 317tman, I appreciate your opinion!

I agree with you. The RF 100-400 is reason enough to buy a R7 or another R-body camera. I can't believe such an inexpensive and light lens can be so fantastic at autofocusing and tracking, and sharp. It even works with the RF TC1.4 and TC 2.0. The OP should go for it!


Thanks BKWaters, I appreciate your opinion!

I use the camera for nature and BIF. Before getting the R7, I used a 7DMKII for about 6 years. Picked the R7 mirrorless for eye detect, greater frame rate and the same auto-focusing systems as the R3. Married it with the RF 100-500 (have used the RF adapter with the EF100-400 LII and that works great as well). Becoming more efficient with the menu system of the R7 versus the button system of the 7d Mk11. The most difficult transition has been with the electronic viewfinder (EV). For very quick reaction shots, like catching a Virginia Rail running across a boardwalk, the time delay with the EV going active and getting the camera to eye level means you'll lose 50% of the shots compared to an optical viewfinder of the 7D. Still learning how to tweak the auto-focus system with custom settings. Agree with all the positives and I'm brute forcing my way through any EV issues. Staying with the R7 and RF100-500 as my walk along camera system for nature and BIF.
