Canon R7 - Low Light Performance (With R5C Comparison)

How good is the low light or high ISO performance of the Canon EOS R7? How does it compare with the EOS R5 C? I also discuss crop sensors, ISO, noise, oversampling and megapixels.

Wow Josh that R7 performs really good in low light! Better than I expected for sure. Cool intro and music during tests... The noise reduction actually worked really good I thought as well ;)

[robwalker]

I gotta give you props man, i learned SO MUCH about my R7 from your videos, saved a bunch of time will use it wisely THANK YOU

[vaskes]

Thanks for this video that answers my questions about low light performance in this APS-C camera. Glad to see no significant difference from FF beast R5C, and now I'm a happy owner of an R7 for unlimited video professional recordings! 🎥🤠🎬

[luisdiaz]

this was so helpful i’ve been having issues with the noise in the non fine mode, had no idea of how oversampled helped, thank you for this🙏🏽

Hey brother, can you sjow the rolling shutter for this camera? I debating over this or a sony a6400 and I know the sonys have that terrible rolling shutter

[davesowerby]

Thanks for this. Its really useful info. I'm considering an R5c with R7 b-cam combo so all the videos you have been putting out have been super helpful. Thanks for all the work on them.

Hey Josh! I appreciate all of these videos you've been making and when I buy my new cameras and gear I'll be sure to use your affiliate links. I love the song. Any chance you know who it's by?

[cammorton]

great videos, this is exactly the type of content to help me understand the limitations of the R7 and how to get the most out of it etc.

Great video, really appreciate the comparison on both cams. The R7 continues to be impressive. As a suggestion for another video, maybe explore the R5c's Digital IS as I'm very curious if it also gives the extra IS stops when paired with certain RF lenses. The original R5 would magically give extra IS stops so I'm curious if the R5c gives the same to some degree. Thanks & keep up the great work Josh 👍👍

Nice work! The comparison is so easy to understand. Big thanks! 👍🏻👍🏻

Good video :) I have the R6 and I'm very curious how the R7 compare. In the iso test, it's worth remembering that in c-log/c-log 3 values like 1000/2000/4000 etc. (between the 800/1600/3200/6400 etc.) bring more noise into the image. So you may get a cleaner image with iso 6400 than for example 5000 :)

Nice review...took all the fear away from pre-ordering just yesterday. Looking forward to some nice 'reach'.

[JaredHoyman]

These have been my findings on the R7 too. I've done a autofocus test between the R6 and R7 on my channel and a IBIS test so far. Loving what I'm seeing with the R7.

[vimalneha]

Thanks Josh a lot, I learned from you something I had not seen anywhere.

[gukman]

What about noise in non oversampled mode - Full hd, 4K 60 ?

[kayastudio.]

Great review, very helpful for someone who is going to buy this camera but have some

[TySPAID]

Thank you for doing these tests! I'd love to see some rolling shutter tests as well!

[justesmond]

Great video Josh. I agree with you. The R7 was very usable up to 6400 and decently usable up to around 10, 000. I'm impressed, because I thought the smaller sensor would fall apart by 3, 200.

[Skux]

Thanks for the tests! ISO 16000 still looks usable to me which is quite impressive.

[MoChev]

Great video man. Definitely two cameras in thinking about. Leaving now towers the R5C but the R7 is sounding pretty tempting.
