Canon EOS R7 Review

60

The Canon EOS R7 has good handling with a comfortable grip and a useful autofocus manual focus switch. However, there are issues with the new autofocus joystick and accidental setting adjustments. The EVF and LCD display are underwhelming and do not offer the best quality. The autofocus works well overall, with impressive vehicle detection and tracking capabilities. The image quality is competitive, especially in terms of dynamic range, and the camera handles overheating well. However, the rolling shutter in oversampled video modes could be a concern. The camera's compatibility with older EF lenses is inconsistent, and the lens mount options are limited.
