Love-it or hate-it hybrid rear control wheel ; So-so EVF for an enthusiast camera ; Electronic shutter not ideal for freezing action

Fast burst shooting ; Great value ; Good handling ; Excellent autofocus and stabilization

Lack of native APS-C lenses ; Average electronic viewfinder ; Lack of 4K/120p video

Easy one-handed use ; Lightweight and durable magnesium body ; Dual slot SD ; Competitively priced ; Excellent IBIS ; Fully articulating touch screen

1.6x crop on 4K video footage ; EVF could be improved

Great autofocus and subject recognition ; Capable IBIS system ; Ergonomic design ; Speedy burst shooting ; Good value for money

Very few RF lenses designed for APS-C ; The new rear wheel isn't great ; Slow sensor readout can introduce rolling shutter

The Canon R7 is an extremely capable and well-priced camera but it's let down by its lack of lens options. If Canon releases some more compelling glass for the RF-S system, it'll be much easier to recommend.

Rapid autofocus and continuous shooting ; Great APS-C image quality ; Amateur-friendly layout doesn’t skimp out on manual controls

Lens line-up far from extensive ; Rivals offer more expansive video options ; Viewfinder could be sharper

A potent mid-ranger with speed, image quality and handling on its side. It’s still early doors in terms of lenses, but Canon fans will feel right at home.
