Control setting is on AF5 as MF peaking settings. UM P428 & P478 et seq.

There is a video https://www.bing.com …D155E6F2DF5F07F​&FORM=VIRE

Thank you very much sir - that is much appreciated and will save me some leg work.

Wow! Wonderful!

Thank you very much

Hi,

I was testing the Canon EOS R7 for about a week shooting birds, mammals, insects and more. This is of course not a long-term test, but I think I got a lot of impressions of the camera and therefore made a review about the R7 on my YouTube channel.

I hope this kind of post is welcome here. Let me know if you have any questions regarding the camera and will try my best to answer them ߘ

Cheers,
Fabian

I haven't viewed it, and I'm sure it has a lot of good content, but myself, I prefer a written review so I can go at my own speed.

Decided to play with the in-camera focus bracketing. Interest, and has some good potential. First time I’ve ever done FB of any sort.

Seems to have issues with edge halos at times, or it might have been slight wind movement.


My first attempt

I also rented the R7 for a week then bought one, it is basically a 90D mark II in mirrorless but I bought it for the AF system. I am very impressed with it and it plays well with any EF lens that works with the 90D. You need good glass for it.

Edited- my reply was inside the quote somehow
My guess is wind movement. I did some HDR with a Canon XSi and the "burst rate" was slow enough for a light breeze to move leaves in an image and create halos that looked similar to the ones in your image. The software can't do much to merge the small parts of an image that moves when the rest of an image is stable.

I completely understand ߘ

I have no problem with non-assertive video reviews posted - but its my observation that precious few videos posted in photography groups get likes or feedback, likely few views, typically.

I'm still deliberating between the R6 and R7. Based on my reading would appreciate if people could confirm or correct my thinking please

The R6 deals with higher ISO noise better than the R7 producing cleaner RAW files. However it has a full frame sensor compared to the R7's APS C. If you add a 1.4x TC to the R6 this will give a broadly similar field of view to the R7; The TC will require an additional stop of exposure to be applied but the R6's cleaner files permit the use of a higher ISO with minimal impact.

The R6 produces a smaller file size so does not allow a great deal of cropping in post if required to maintain a reasonable size file. The R7 produces a bigger file size allowing cropping but noise can be cleaned up in post up to about 6400 ISO before some impact is seen on image quality

All input appreciated

Very nice in-depth review, thanks.

That is pretty much the differences.

Nothing is "free" there is always a trade off. If you can only have one, I'd say look at what you are going to "need" most. Lowest possible noise?(R6) Best dynamic range? (R6) Best possible reach?(R7) Best AF tracking?(R7)

Don't forget to take into account the additional cost of the R6 body ($1000 US) and the cost of a TC ($500-$600 for the RF ones) into the equation as well as limitations on which lenses can use a TC.


Depending on a number of variables of course, I would say the R7 is quite reasonable past ISO 6400.

This is spot on. Of the two, unless more pixels on target (ie: you shoot things that are too far away for your lenses often) is of huge importance, I'd say the R6 is more flexible. It's going to be a LOT better in low light, so if that's a concern, there's your answer.
These bodies don;t even seem to notice a 1.4x as far as AF is concerned, so your thoughts re T-Con making up for some of the lower resolution sensor wise is accurate.

Even the crazy 800/11 focuses well with the 1.4x, on the R6 as well as the R7. That’s @f/16!
