Not sure about that they need lenses other than for the weight and size savings. It's why I went with Canon R7 over Fuji. EF to RF on the R7 is great. The crop factor gives me crazy zoom on my old lenses. I also have the RF 100-400 and it's nuts. I'm doing 1/50 400m(640mm!!) zooms on bugs at 400iso 3' away handheld in the shade, and it's SHARP. It's a $600 lens. What does Fuji have that can do at that price and perf level? People have been comparing images from it side by side with their Ls and you wouldn't even know unless someone said so. Also, EFS and RFS lenses still crop. The 18-150 RFS that comes with the R7 is 29-240 equivalent. It's not 18-150. It's been that way since EFS. Anyway, enjoyed the review, hope this didn't sound like a dig. The R7 is insanely good to me, and I'm just floored how much better it is over my 7d2. I wasn't expecting to gush over it as much as I am. I thought of it as an 'eh ill check it out, people complaining about this and that' and it's all been unfounded from my point of view.
Appreciate the comments. I create these videos to have a conversation. The beauty of photography and the gear we use is there are many differing opinions and we can learn from each other. You make some very good points here
I agree about the RF 100-400. It's versatile and has good quality images. The RF 800mm F11 is pretty insane too. Another lens where there is no current equivalent for weight and price. It's a lens you can easily hold with 1280mm of reach. The R7 plus these two lenses is fun kit for amateur bird/wildlife photography
Yeah the crop factor applies to RF-S lenses too. The only thing is that mounting an RF lens onto R7 wastes some light around edge of the aperture. Or put in another way, if that lens was made for RF-S, it could have been lighter/slimmer. I want to shoot some wildlife but want smaller lenses to stay low-key😏I looked at Fuji's lenses but XF 150-600 weighs 1.6kg and is 31.5cm long. Look at RF 100-400 although it's a full frame lens - a little more than 1/3 the weight, half as long! I can't resist that portability.
I have the 7DM2 and want to get a R7 however some creators make it sound like this camera is terrible 😞., or the other RF lenses don’t work😩, I shoot sports 🏀 please give me your real opinion? Should I go with the R6?
The R7 just came out. It takes time to fill out the RFS lens line up. It was the same when the EOS R first came out. The Fuji is nice, but it's $1K more than the R7.
The Fuji Xh2S is unbeatable in its price range and the Canon R7 is unbeatable in its price range. In France the Fuji is almost 2X more expensive than the Canon. What these 2 devices offer in their price range is unheard of! the R7 even has raw burst mode with half a second of pre-shoot, automatic level, in focus bracketing it offers automatic image stitching. In video the R7 has autofocus eye tracking... I congratulate the 2 brands for all its wonderful technological advances and in the end R7 or Xh2S the photos and videos will be excellent in good hands.
For wildlife photography, full frame lens are awesome with that 1.6x crop factor. My RF 100-500 becomes 160-800 mm. I use full frame camera like the R5 for landscape, portrait, etc.
Framing may change but focal length remains as stated on the lens, eg, a 400mm gives you 400mm of magnification regardless of whether its used on a full frame, apsc, fuji xTrans, m42 or Medium format sensor. Only the framing changes. When you view the image on your computer screen, your computer will make the image look bigger (the same physical area will be covered on your display regardless of sensor size used to capture the particular image) but your 100-500 Never gives you any more magnification than 500mm. You're seeing "Digital Zoom" taking place on your computer screen, not an increase in magnification (focal length). A fuji 50-140 F2.8 is Fuji's equivalent to Canons 70-200 fF2.8 . While they have Almost the same angle of view, they don't have the same magnification. Also 200/2.8 = a 71mm (roughly) aperture size while fuji's 50-140 (140/2.8= 50 mm) only yields a max aperture of 50 mm. So, great lenses as they are, they are not equivalent at all, even if they are touted as such. When you switch from full fame to apsc mode on your R5, you are seeing Digital magnification at play, your lenses focal length does not change. I hope this goes some way to clearing up some misconceptions some folk may have on this topic.
Great video with helpful insights. Lots of information on the Canon's features and specifications, presented from a user's perspective which is appreciated. Nicely made video too.
appreciate the review! my colleague's son just got this for birding. and he is adapting EF lenses to it via the EF-RF adapter. the camera really disappeared behind the lens... 😂
Thanks for the video. I have one of these on order (who knows when I'll get it?). I was a bit puzzled by what you said towards the end about lenses. You stressed how big and heavy the 50 F1.2 and 85 F1.2 are, and said Canon should have some smaller RF lenses. But they do. They have a whole series of smaller and lighter (and much cheaper) RF lenses, both zooms and primes. I have the RF 16, 35, 50 F1.8, and 85 F2, which I use on my R. They are all relatively small (very small for the 16 and 50), light, and affordable. And are good optically. They have also just announced a 24 and a 15-30, that are not too big. They also have some zooms that are not big expensive L lenses (24-105 STM, 24-240, 100-400). I expect my small RF primes to pair very well with the R7. I used Canon APS-C DSLRs for many years, and mostly used full frame EF lenses on them with great results.
@@GeekCulture Yes, I see that. It would be great if Canon made RF versions of their EF-M 32 F1.4, for example, which is one of the sharpest lenses they, or anyone else, has ever made (and small and light), and the superb EF-M 22 F2 pancake, and if Sigma could port their amazing 56 F1.4 to the RF mount (it's one of my favorite portrait lenses in the EF-M mount on the M6II). But the RF 50 F1.8 will still make a really nice pairing with the R7, as will the other small primes. I suspect we're more likely to see more RF-S zooms than primes, though.
I have a lot of EF glass (for APS-C bodies and the RP via adapter) and I see no problem to use it. Most lenses are tele lenses which make a compact setup e.g. EF 200 2.8 or EF 100 2.0. I tried the R7 with the following EF-S lenses: EF-S 60 Macro = very fine, EF-S 10-22 = fine ... very fine, EF-S 55-250 = nope, and finally the EF-S 15-85 has to be tested (really shines with the M50 ii). So there are adapted options. One great lens I own ist the RF 1.8 35 Macro which is ultra sharp with the R7 and makes a nice compact setup! Thanks for the video and the fair review!
I myself am not that into cameras per se, but I give alot of respect to what feels like is the lost art of photography. Cameras in our phones are great and good for the ordinary Joe, but there is something wonderful about a camera. You seem like your really into it. Are you a photographer? Your into it.
Hi Dominick thanks for watching. Yes I’m quite into photography and it’s not a lost art yet but unfortunately feels like it with the push in video. I agree with you about the wonders of using a camera vs a smartphone. It’s just special
There are 28 RF lenses, there are 3 Canon adapters for EF/s plus the third party adapters/speedBoosters.Fuji is great too...I use both but I'm waiting to see price and capability of H2,
We just got our R7 this week. We have the kit lens, RF 18-150, the RF 100-400, and an EF-S 10-18 with an adapter. I don't really know how many more lenses we need, but I have a closet full of EF-S lenses which should also work just fine if needed.
Congrats. Yes for some the zooms will be fine. For others that may need some primes that crop factor will come into play. The camera is good for sure. Just feel like the lens selection could be a bit better.
I have to say that Canon is not an APS-C focussed brand. I am seriously considering a switch to Fuji ... the size, weight, and pricing considerations cannot be ignored altogether ... we want mirrorless smaller and lighter
There are plenty EF and EF-S lenses that can be adapted to the R7, you don't just have to adapt fullframe lenses, Fuji has many APSC lenses as they don't make fullframe cameras but the lenses don't seem to work well for video
The new Fujifilm F1.4 primes (18, 23, & 33) with linear autofocus motors work well in video and a new 56 F1.2 with linear motors is on the way. Of the slower primes the 16 F2.8 and 23, 50, and 90 F2’s also work well with quiet motors and minimal focus breathing. The zooms have some quirks when zooming but they also released an 18-120 power zoom lens focused on video creators to address the quirkiness. Fujifilm is responding to the feedback of users wanting lenses with better performance in video by releasing new products, so I think it’s no longer fair to say the lenses don’t work well in video. They also opened up the mount to the 3rd parties so there are options from Sigma, Tamron, and others.
I had a 7dM2 that I used several times a week for years and never put a crop-frame lens on it, so I don’t relate at all to the notion that special lenses are required. I know many others who did the same. As for button feel and build quality, ok, but the real question is how does it hold up against use over time, and it seems no one has an answer for that. There is the issue of keeping it light. And small too. So you have no place for your pinky? I think you can get over that. But hey, if Fuji has want you want, then no problems. Get what makes you happy.
Hi Anthony thanks for watching. A couple points to your comments. The lenses for the RF line are significantly larger than the EF counterparts, especially for the primes. This extra weight and size compared to a smaller body does create an imbalance. Yes no one knows how the camera will hold up over time, but one could argue the 7D MII feels more robust and slightly larger than the R7. No one is saying Fujifilm is better, it’s just they have more size appropriate lenses and also a lineup of lenses to maximise the APS-C sensor where as the R7 is using the large full frame lenses and is missing out on smaller faster primes etc.
@@GeekCulture There is an entire history with Canon, crop-sensor bodies, and EF-S lenses. It is doubtful, in this shrinking camera market, that Canon will develop a full suite of EF-s lenses. Let the buyer beware.
@@GeekCulture Canon has the M series if you want small compact lenses. My 100-400 canon L is no larger than my Fuli 100-400, same as the 50mm1.2 Canon EF L or R and fuji 55mm1.2,, same size for all intents and purposes. Some fuji lenses having smaller apertures result in them being physical smaller than canon L series glass for the same focal length but physics demands that a given focal with an equal aperture must physically have the same size largest lens element, usually the front one ,at least. Some R lenses are deploying larger rear elements, taking advantage of the 54mm canon R lens mount, resulting in larger lenses but you get a boost in image quality because of this design. Or at least that's what we are being sold/told. What would be far more important to know is which image breaks down earlier when cropping? The 32mp Canon or the 40mp xTrans. This info would be Very useful for folks wanting to leverage these high pixel density sensors instead of forking out for long, heavy , Expensive lenses to shoot wildlife...
I have no issue utilizing crop factor to my advantage. I am not actually sure who this impacts? I mean, like why do photographers talk about it like it's a bad thing? Anyways, the 100-500 is excellent on this thing!
Dude $1,500 is $1,500... APS C lens all have to be converted, the focal range is the same on both, even the FUJI... There are small, lightweight Canon RF lens now, more APS C specific lens are coming. I'm just using my EF-S lenses with adapters, they work flawlessly... I even picked up a reducer...
1500 is 1500 and you need all these adapters to get the focal lengths you need. This is my issue with it. Will Canon actually invest in smaller lenses with faster apertures? Only time Will tell
I have full frame bodies and RF lenses. Couldn’t care less about buying one trick pony lenses. R7 great lens extender for full frame lens and you don’t lose a stop.
It is amazing how many people complete miss the obvious. These are meant to wildlife cameras. One is well weather proofed and one isn't. It is a simple as that. The R7 should stay indoors.
If this was meant for wildlife, a 2.36 million dot EVF is not going to help. A battery grip would be needed to help balance larger lenses. Some will use it and some UA-camrs will try and say this, but this camera isn’t a robust wildlife style camera by design. It’s meant to serve as a mid level camera that’s priced accordingly. It performs well and does what it’s supposed to do, but this isn’t designed for wildlife.
@@GeekCulture You obviously don't shoot wildlife. If you think the quality of the EVF is really that important, well you are wrong. I hope this is your side hussle, if not, you've some way to go. Think about the shutter speed, what would you require a crop sensor with that sort of shutter speed for? It's obviously for wildlife and sports but the problem is, they didn't weather seal it properly and that is downright stupid.
Not sure why so many UA-camrs are complaining about the lens line-up for the R7 & R10; adapting EF and EF-S lenses does work for all R bodies, so smaller and (very) cheap lenses are available now for those bodies AND there are good + relatively affordable RF lens options available now, 35/1.8, 50/1.8, 85/2.0. BTW, why would you test a APS-C camera with just a 24-70mm? Granted, it is a great lens but the focal length on APS-C is neither here nor there. Grab a 16-35 (or 14-35 RF from Canon SG) and the 50/1.8 from them, that should feel A LOT better to use.
Hi Steven, Many of us were expecting Canon to fill out their RF lineup faster and with more affordable lenses. Also this bias against 3rd party manufacturers also limits the accessibility to lenses for users that can’t afford the high priced RF lenses. Yes one can adapt EF lenses but compared to the more modern optics of the RF lenses the differences are apparent. As for the review, we didn’t have access to every lens we would like so we took what we could.
Fuji lenses xf 8-16 ,16-55 & 50-140 for example are full frame size , Fuji lenses are known to be larger than they need be. Apparently there is more Canon apsc lenses on the map. I really don’t see most Fuji users being interested in the xh2 ,where for canon users R7 does have a ring to it
I think more Will be interested in the 40MP vs the 24 unless you need speed for certain types of photography. Yes some of the fujifilm lenses are bigger but not at big as the Canon counterparts
@@GeekCulture The XF 8-16 is certainly larger than the Nikon z 12-24 f2.8 , if you add the z 24-70 f2.8 as well compared to Fuji equivalent they add up to the same. On Canon side maybe not thd f2. 8 but the 14-35 F/4 . CFFrost you tuber claims the new XF 10-24 is not upto high resolution apsc sensor
@@GeekCulture Do you want to be paid third world wages for your Photography services too? Can't tell the difference between Asian Photographers and you too.

No one is saying Fujifilm is better, it’s just they have more size appropriate lenses and also a lineup of lenses to maximise the APS-C sensor where as the R7 is using the large full frame lenses and is missing out on smaller faster primes etc.
@@GeekCulture There is an entire history with Canon, crop-sensor bodies, and EF-S lenses. It is doubtful, in this shrinking camera market, that Canon will develop a full suite of EF-s lenses. Let the buyer beware.
@@GeekCulture Canon has the M series if you want small compact lenses. My 100-400 canon L is no larger than my Fuli 100-400, same as the 50mm1.2 Canon EF L or R and fuji 55mm1.2,, same size for all intents and purposes. Some fuji lenses having smaller apertures result in them being physical smaller than canon L series glass for the same focal length but physics demands that a given focal with an equal aperture must physically have the same size largest lens element, usually the front one ,at least. Some R lenses are deploying larger rear elements, taking advantage of the 54mm canon R lens mount, resulting in larger lenses but you get a boost in image quality because of this design. Or at least that's what we are being sold/told. What would be far more important to know is which image breaks down earlier when cropping? The 32mp Canon or the 40mp xTrans. This info would be Very useful for folks wanting to leverage these high pixel density sensors instead of forking out for long, heavy , Expensive lenses to shoot wildlife...
Whyn't you review eos r10, I like your review of others
Maybe in the future
I have no issue utilizing crop factor to my advantage. I am not actually sure who this impacts? I mean, like why do photographers talk about it like it's a bad thing? Anyways, the 100-500 is excellent on this thing!
It’s not a bad thing, just something to take note of especially for newer buyers
My pinky doesn't have a home. LOL
No more home. Still looking for it 😂😂
Dude $1,500 is $1,500... APS C lens all have to be converted, the focal range is the same on both, even the FUJI... There are small, lightweight Canon RF lens now, more APS C specific lens are coming. I'm just using my EF-S lenses with adapters, they work flawlessly... I even picked up a reducer...
1500 is 1500 and you need all these adapters to get the focal lengths you need. This is my issue with it. Will Canon actually invest in smaller lenses with faster apertures? Only time Will tell
@@GeekCulture You only need one adapter...geez, you are really trying to paint a certain picture.
You just mentioned “adapters” and a reducer and you are telling me one
@@GeekCulture You can find an adapter for $40...
If I had the money for the X-H2S, I wouldn't think twice.
Understand. It’s a really impressive camera
Fuji just has so much glass it's like it's not even fair lol
Haha true especially for APS-C
Btw... which camera did you use shooting this video?
Nikon Z6II
Thanxs mate.. really appreciate your work🙂
Again who use evf at nite, evf is meant to be use in outdoor in bright sunlight for ur eyes get better view via evf
???? I don’t know how to answer this line of thinking 😂😂
I have full frame bodies and RF lenses. Couldn’t care less about buying one trick pony lenses. R7 great lens extender for full frame lens and you don’t lose a stop.
That or just get an R5 and use APS-C crop
From what I see the Fujifilm is $1000 more. I don't know where the real comparison is other than APS-C formfactor.
The Fuji is 1k more but the RF lenses are far more expensive than Fuji’s
It is amazing how many people complete miss the obvious. These are meant to wildlife cameras. One is well weather proofed and one isn't. It is a simple as that. The R7 should stay indoors.
If this was meant for wildlife, a 2.36 million dot EVF is not going to help. A battery grip would be needed to help balance larger lenses.
Some will use it and some UA-camrs will try and say this, but this camera isn’t a robust wildlife style camera by design. It’s meant to serve as a mid level camera that’s priced accordingly. It performs well and does what it’s supposed to do, but this isn’t designed for wildlife.
????
@@GeekCulture EVF? Seriously, that is not required for wildlife photography. The EVF on the R7 is fine...
@@GeekCulture You obviously don't shoot wildlife. If you think the quality of the EVF is really that important, well you are wrong. I hope this is your side hussle, if not, you've some way to go.
Think about the shutter speed, what would you require a crop sensor with that sort of shutter speed for? It's obviously for wildlife and sports but the problem is, they didn't weather seal it properly and that is downright stupid.
Not sure why so many UA-camrs are complaining about the lens line-up for the R7 & R10; adapting EF and EF-S lenses does work for all R bodies, so smaller and (very) cheap lenses are available now for those bodies AND there are good + relatively affordable RF lens options available now, 35/1.8, 50/1.8, 85/2.0. BTW, why would you test a APS-C camera with just a 24-70mm? Granted, it is a great lens but the focal length on APS-C is neither here nor there. Grab a 16-35 (or 14-35 RF from Canon SG) and the 50/1.8 from them, that should feel A LOT better to use.
Hi Steven,
Many of us were expecting Canon to fill out their RF lineup faster and with more affordable lenses. Also this bias against 3rd party manufacturers also limits the accessibility to lenses for users that can’t afford the high priced RF lenses.
Yes one can adapt EF lenses but compared to the more modern optics of the RF lenses the differences are apparent.
As for the review, we didn’t have access to every lens we would like so we took what we could.
Fuji lenses xf 8-16 ,16-55 & 50-140 for example are full frame size , Fuji lenses are known to be larger than they need be. Apparently there is more Canon apsc lenses on the map. I really don’t see most Fuji users being interested in the xh2 ,where for canon users R7 does have a ring to it
I think more Will be interested in the 40MP vs the 24 unless you need speed for certain types of photography. Yes some of the fujifilm lenses are bigger but not at big as the Canon counterparts
@@GeekCulture The XF 8-16 is certainly larger than the Nikon z 12-24 f2.8 , if you add the z 24-70 f2.8 as well compared to Fuji equivalent they add up to the same. On Canon side maybe not thd f2. 8 but the 14-35 F/4 .
CFFrost you tuber claims the new XF 10-24 is not upto high resolution apsc sensor
The lenses released in the past year for fujifilm have all been designed to optimise a higher res sensor :)
Unfortunately, the R7 is not a replacement of the 7D Mark II but just semi-cheap trash.
Fujifilm does NOT make any Full Frame Cameras. So of course they have NO FF lenses.
Why promote Made in China products?
Mostly everything is made in China.
@@GeekCulture Canon Cameras are MADE IN JAPAN. Nikon Cameras are now MADE IN THAILAND. Sony is moving production from China to Thailand too.
And so? Quality control out of Thailand and China are arguably just as good. I review all cameras and to be honest, you can’t tell the difference.
@@GeekCulture Do you want to be paid third world wages for your Photography services too? Can't tell the difference between Asian Photographers and you too.
@@set3777 Is that you ken Rockwell lol. You sound like him. He says he doesn't want Made in China products but he is definitely using Made in China smartphones. Apple and many Android phones are made there. You too are 100% using Made in China products on your home without your knowledge. Stop the stupidity / bigotry.
