For the price I find the R7 EVF very nice, the ability to have an idea of final exposure before clicking is a game changer for me.
I am shooting adapted EF 100-400MKII even though I have read some complaints about it maybe be focusing slow I have not seen that but do not have RF glass to compare with, but do not see any difference compared to my 80D or 90D.
Eye detect, again when I am close enough to subject works as advertised
Subject detect, right now I am shooting case 2 for most things works great, on birds such as blue heron if looking right at you and eye detect cant grab it struggles finding the head and wants to lock onto the body if this happens I use a button I assigned to shut off subject detect and just use center focus point.
Focus in general, compared to 80 and 90d way ahead especially birds in flight .
Iso performance, more than acceptable for a crop camera what its not is R3/5/6 of course its crop and cheaper. I do find if I really need to push iso I can switch to jpeg and the camera does a fantastic job with noise but does not give those creamy jpegs of the past still plenty of detail left.
Build, by the pictures I thought was going to be tiny and cheap feeling, but its not much smaller then my 90D and quite comfortable even with my long fingers and seems to be on par with my 90D as far as buid goes.
Layout, at first I thought I would not like it but I shoot a ton of auto iso so with the wheel being where it is I find it quite natural feeling for adjusting ev up or down.
Photo quality, I shoot mostly craw, again comparing to80 and 90D I find it outstanding which of course is related to the outstanding AF and better understanding of pre shot exposure mentioned above.
TY 🙂 I’m anxious to try this camera. Expect to rent it soon. I think I will rent the RF 100-400 at the same time, to try it on the R7 and my R5. Then, I totally expect to rent it for a few weeks next Spring, as a backup for my R5 on my around the country birding trip…. If have bought it by then 👍
