This is a camera we've been waiting for since the launch of the R system back in 2018. The long-awaited first APS-C member of the EOS R family, it asks questions of the much smaller and more compact EOS M system but gives Canon the most powerful APS-C camera on the market.
Offering speed that matches (and, mechanically, beats) the Canon EOS R3, and resolution second only to the EOS R5, the EOS R7 is a technical marvel. Following in the footsteps of the Canon EOS 90D and EOS 7D Mark II, shooters will leverage its 1.6x crop factor to amplify the effective focal length of full-frame lenses.
As such, we can see the EOS R7 becoming a hugely popular camera for wildlife photography thanks to its unique combination of resolution, crop factor, and speed.
Key features
The R7 is built around a 32.5MP APS-C sensor, which packs more resolution than any cropped sensor camera on the market - something that will come as music to the ears of wildlife photographers and birders, always keen for more freedom to crop in.
While it's not a totally new sensor (it's built on the same architecture as the 32.5MP sensor in the goD and Canon EOS M6 Mark II), it features an optimised wiring layer and microlens technology to deliver improved signal readout. The R7 also packs staggering shooting speeds of 15 frames per second mechanically faster than any other Canon EOS camera, including the R3, R5, and R6, and 30 frames per second electronically, which matches the R3, Sony A1, and Nikon Z 9 (unless you factor in the latter's 11MP crop mode).
This is Canon's first-ever APS-C camera to feature in-body image stabilisation - it's a 5-axis system that delivers up to eight stops of compensation, depending on the lens (it offers seven with the new Canon RF-S 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM).
