R7 JPEG Output
2

I've been a RAW only shooter for at least 10 years now and whenever I chose to see JPEG quality out of my DSLR's, I've always been disappointed and it reaffirmed my desire to shoot RAW only.  I've had the T3i, 60D, 77D and 80D.  I also had the R6.

I currently have the R7 and R10 and still shoot the same way.  However, I always watch a lot of videos about my cameras and I've noticed that quite a few reviewers are saying how good the JPEG quality OOC is on the R7.

I recently went shooting with my wife (she has the R10) at a local wildlife refuge and honestly I was a little let down with some of the images.  I was using the R7 with the RF 100-400, while she was using the adapted EF 70-300 nano USM II.  We are both wildlife shooters and mostly had shore birds.

Many of my RAW files were disappointing.  Some were very soft, noisy (to be expected) and just....blah.  I do know that atmospheric waves were possibly an issue, but I felt let down.

Today I did some testing shooting in both RAW and JPEG.  All I can say is WOW...the JPEG files right OOC were excellent!  When I process my RAW files, I use DxO Pure Raw 2 and have a suite of Topaz products and finalize in Lightroom Classic.  The JPEGs only needed some minor color adjustment and slight use of DeNoise.  I may be changing my shooting style.

Here are a couple of the JPEGs with minor adjustments in Lightroom.  Not too shabby.
