Canon EOS R10 and R7 First Impressions Review (From Orlando!)

Canon has finally announced the much rumoured APS-C RF mount cameras, the EOS R10 and EOS R7 and we've had a chance to get some hands-on time with them. Check out our initial impressions and watch some of the highlights of our trip to Florida. 

Note that the two cameras were full production models, but the kit lenses were pre-production.

They didn't over-heat at Florida. That's a good sign.

I guess I’m in the group of people who wanted an update of the Eos r and the rp. Better dynamic range, increased shutter speed, 10 bit 4K 60 with no loss in quality.

I was born and raised in Orlando and really didn't expect to see you guys walking around Gator Land anytime soon. Great video as always!

Make a Comparison Photo and Video Result of Canon R7 vs Sony A6600 vs Fujifilm X-T4; and Canon R10 vs Sony A6100 vs Fujifilm X-A7 vs Nikon Z50 ...please...Thank you

[stalman]

Great to see Canon get into this space, now I just want to see some small lens options and I’ll pick one up right away!

So the R10 is a considerably pricier and slightly heavier M50 II, with a kit lens that's 18mm at the wide end instead of 15mm? A little disappointing really. Hope they'll port over the M primes at least.

R7 being 10 bit really makes me think it could be a B cam to my R5C whenever I decide to get another camera

[ezraestrada]

I'm coming from Canon 6D with 2 full frame lenses. I'm glad that I can still use my current lenses with this new camera. I'll order the Canon R7, this will help me introduce my self and my son to wildlife photography.

[TheOldarra]

Incredible quality of this video, very very good job.

I doubt Canon will make any 'proper' apsc prime, RF already have 16 2.8 pancake, quite Compact 35 and 50 1.8, etc. That pretty much covered 24, ~50, and ~85. Maybe Canon will port the efm 22 to complete the list with 35mm eq

Something about the way Jordan said “They’re so handsome!” made me burst out laughing as I was quietly watching this at my desk haha

[stubones]

The R7 is the logical upgrade for those of us still having to use a 7Dii for outdoor daylight sports. Paired with an adapter and my ef 100-400ii it would be perfect. I don't need even 15fps. 12 would be ideal.

[thekylehampton]

Great review as always. My favorite of all the R7/R10 videos I've seen so far.

[jenesuispasbavard]

I hope they make smaller APS-C prime lenses in the same mount, instead of just recommending using massive full-frame RF lenses.

A very excellent First Impression Review !
After waiting for a Sony A7000 for so long (in December 2019 I had bought a Sony A6600 out of desperation) and thinking about a Sony A7 IV or a GH6 for the last few months, the R7 seems to be the closest to my needs, if the R7 together with the adapter works well with old EF lenses. So, besides Nikon FF (D800), MFT and Sony APS-C lenses, I have to think about joining the Canon system.

I love the way one of the men widen his eyes when showing auto focus function. :)

[EternalMedia]

I video shoot the R10 on a gimbal, so the lack IBIS isn't a problem. But what's the best approach to photo shooting with unstabilized lenses (like the RF 50mm1.8) without a tripod?

[BEHZIDAS]

Canon always deliver clean, simple and powerful cameras 💯

[BartRos]

I like how Chris his eyes spell murder and mayhem during the Leaf-blower noise. It adds some realism
