I upgraded from Nikon D5500 to this camera, I am loving it so far. Great focus, quick response time. Haven’t had too much time to use it yet but I hope to play around more to really learn all it’s features.

I have used the Canon M6ii for a couple years now. Paired with the 22mm f/2 and 32mm f/1.4, it’s an amazing kit (compact, lightweight and very capable). However, I’ve long wanted a similar APS-C camera with IBIS and better 4K video. Enter the R7. While a bit bigger, it’s still fairly compact and light. But it adds a lot: IBIS, 4K 10 bit up to 60 fps*, no record time limit, bigger battery, weatherseal, 2 card slots, built in EVF, swivel screen with better resolution, more customization, etc. There are a couple of neat features like in-camera panorama, focus stacking, group photo mode, etc. I wish the R6 had some of these and had the on/off/movie switch on the right. Those are the Pros.
The kit lenses are pretty much garbage, so you’ll need RF glass until they (hopefully) come out with better RF-S glass. This means most of the really good lenses are bigger and heavier and expensive. If you want to keep it compact and less expensive, you’ll need to look at the RF 16mm 2.8, 35mm 1.8, and 50mm 1.8 (there is a 24mm 1.8 coming out soon). However, none of these are weather sealed, and my experience with the 35mm is that it’s a bit noisy and not as good as the EF-M 32mm 1.4. Hopefully Canon releases some RF-S compact primes (weather sealed would be great) to go with this compact APS-C body.

I needed a camera in a rush to get to a sporting event. My old camera wasn’t doing well with dark locations anymore and I bought this one within 20 minutes at the Glendale store (while opening a line of credit.)
The camera works great and I got way better shots than the day before. I can’t wait to upgrade my lenses and will probably go back to Best Buy.

Camera is great. Had a Cannon AE1 years ago. Now that I’m retired and trying travel we decided to invest in a good camera. Still learning all the buttons but it takes great pics and lots of shooting modes. Would buy again.

My first mirrorless camera after DSLRs. Am just learning most of the many features. First time out was photographing ducks in flight. Photos were more than great! Great camera lens combo.

This camera is great. It has so many important and unique features that really help when taking photos. I take sports photos for my school and the quality of this camera compares to nothing else i’ve used in the past.

The Canon EOS R7 is an exciting addition to Canon’s mirrorless lineup, offering a compelling mix of features for enthusiasts and semi-professional photographers. After spending significant time with this camera, I can confidently say it is a versatile and capable tool that excels in many areas while having a few minor drawbacks
Image Quality and Sensor Performance
The Canon EOS R7 features a 32.5MP APS-C CMOS sensor, which delivers excellent image quality for its class. The high resolution allows for detailed images, making it ideal for wildlife, sports, and landscape photography where cropping may be necessary.
The autofocus system on the EOS R7 is one of its strongest features. Borrowing technology from Canon’s flagship EOS R3 model, it includes subject recognition modes that prioritize people, animals (including birds), or vehicles. This makes it highly effective for tracking fast-moving subjects in challenging conditions.
For action photographers, the continuous shooting capabilities of the EOS R7 are impressive. It offers up to 30 frames per second (fps) with its electronic shutter or 15 fps using the mechanical shutter—all while maintaining full autofocus tracking.
The compact size of the EOS R7 makes it lightweight and portable—perfect for long hikes or travel photography. However, this small form factor does come with some trade-offs in ergonomics. Photographers with larger hands might find it less comfortable to hold over extended periods when paired with heavier lenses like telephoto primes.
For hybrid shooters who need both stills and video functionality, the EOS R7 delivers solid performance across both domains. As mentioned earlier, oversampled 4K video looks fantastic thanks to its use of all available pixels from the sensor’s full width.
Battery Life
Using LP-E6NH batteries (shared with other RF-mount cameras), battery life on the EOS R7 is respectable but not exceptional. In my experience:
A single charge lasted through about 500–600 shots during mixed usage (stills + video).
Carrying spare batteries is advisable if you plan extended shoots without access to charging facilities.

This was my first major Camera Purchase. I had been using a 70D that my work owned, and realized wanted to get my own personal camera. This was worth every penny.
Perks: Larger Battery, Dual memory card, really well positioned knobs and buttons, IBIS
Cons: the only con, and its more of a challenge then con, this is a crop sensor camera. Because of this, while you can mount RF lenses, they will be cropped 1.6 (a 35 mm full frame is really more 50mm). Just keep this in mind, but otherwise it is an awesome camera!

Very nice camera. So far, I have taken a few test pictures inside and outside. All turned out great with accurate color and lots of detail. The 18 to 150mm lens the camera came with minimizes the need for other lenses. Camera is fairly intuitive to learn for the basics. The well written user guide helps with manual operation and features.
