Thanks for the show guys. I started with Olympus film cameras, then Minolta and Nikon and now OM systems OM-1. I now have 2 of these because the auto focus has caught up and noise performance ( especially colour noise) has been greatly improved. If you are back in Melbourne for a couple of weeks I’ll lend you one along with the appropriate lens to do a review on.. You’ll find all the advantages of mobility, stability, reach speed and some pretty cool tricks Olympus/ omsystems users have been enjoying for years.
I would have immediately purchased this camera for the extra reach compared to my R5 if it did not have so many potential issues. I would have been happy to pay more for a higher performing crop sensor camera. I must admit I was expecting a high quality replacement for the 7d mk2 so The juries still out for me. Will be interesting to see what firmware updates change. Keep up the amazing work please. Ps my first “birding” camera was a 1977 Yashica film slr which I thought was amazing compared to my rubbish little ilford before that. I now use the mighty R5. I would not have believed the specifications of that camera if you had told me then, stuff of science fiction as is so much of our modern life.
I started taking bird photos with a Fujifilm system 100-400, I switched to Canon R5 and love it. I have been trying to capture hummingbirds from my backyard now. Keep up the great content. thanks for sharing
I think coming from a full frame mirrorless body, the drawbacks of the R7 are just too big. Especially the rolling shutter. 30 frames are nice for fast action, but if wings and lines are distorted, the 30 frames somehow aren't much of help. What do you guys think about the Fujifilm X-H2S and the XF150-600mm F5.6-8? I think this is a very fantastic combo that doesn't have all the drawbacks the R7 has. I'd love to test this combo out. If you get a chance to test this camera, I'd be very interested in your thoughts and a proper review! Thank you for all your videos! I enjoy your episodes so much, especially if you tell us from your field trips and show pictures and videos you took. Your video footage of all these fantastic birds is so great! And congratulations to your hummingbird book Glen! I got it as a birthday present and love it. These birds are real jewels!
I started with a Canon XSI, then T3I, 70D, 6D, 7Dmkii(2),5DSR, 1DX3 and now recently I got an R3. I currently use the R3 for action and wildlife and the 5DSR for landscape etc. It's been about a 10 year journey. Keep up the great video's! My kids have benefitted greatly from my camera body upgrades. Currently using an EF400 -2.8 IS MKI, EF 100-400 MKII, EF 16-35 F4, EF 24-105 F4,SIGMA 14 F1.8 and 1.4 and 2X MKII extenders.
My first bird photography was done at age 15 in 1968 with an Olympus Pen S (half frame 35mm, fixed lens, Kodachrome 64ASA slide film) - on a trip to the Farne Islands, in UK. I won a junior prize with one of those images and that kick started my life long interest. More recently, I've had a series of 5D FF bodies right up to the 5d4 and 100-400Lmk2. Now I'm using an R5 and 100-500 - what an amazing camera - and have been out photographing birds in flight including gannets on the Yorkshire coast, oystercatchers, lapwings, and even golden eagles in the Outer Hebrides. Your videos have really helped me develop my skills.
I started with a Canon AE-1 program. Now shooting with an R6. My R7 arrived last night and I have a birding festival on tap for this weekend. Will be fun to see what the longer reach does!
You are spot on your assessment depending where you came from was using Nikon D5000 just received the R7 whole different world of bird photography eye tracking, 30 frames burst instead of 3.
Top content guys, be interested to see the R5 in crop mode upscaled using lightroom super resolution then down scaled to the same resolution as the R7 and compared to see if the detail holds up. Keep it up guys.
Another wonderful episodes Jan and Glenn. Request more infield techniques from you with your experiences to get better images/keepers. Bit tired with all the R7 videos the past few weeks🐦
I started bird photography back in the day forty years ago with the Canon AE-1 Program. I've now been using the R5 for a little over 18 months and am extremely happy with it. I just bought the R7 to use as a backup with a bit more reach but have not been birding with it yet. I did shoot an airshow with it and am quite impressed, so am looking forward to my next trip to Costa Rica.
I started photography as a hobby during the pandemic when we decided to move out to the ranch of my wife's parents. It was there that I started to observe some new species of birds (other than the house sparrow which I was normally aware of) and I decided to grab my wife's Canon R with the EF 100-300mm f/4.5-5.6 lens and start shooting. Obviously the results were not something to brag about but for me, at the time, it was a special feeling and I was also enjoying the thrill of trying to identify the new species. Although I've come a long way since then, I would still consider myself pretty much a beginner. My tools have improved a bit as well since then, I now have my own Canon R6 which I use together with a Tamron 150-600mm f/5-6.3 G2 lens. Thank you guys for the wonderful videos, keep up this good work.
I started bird photography with a Yashica SLR (curlews in the yard at NAS Corpus Christi, hummingbirds in New Mexico). I am currently using a Canon 7D mark II. Thanks very much for sharing your insights and tips on bird photography and cameras.
My first camera for birds was the Mamiya sekor 1000 DTL with M42 screw mount, and a 300mm Soligor lens, and a handful other prime lenses, bought in 1975. The screw threads made me crazy, and I think it was in 1978 i bought my first Canon, the AE1 and the bayonet mount was a huge releaf. Now I use the R7 and RF100-500, and the EF 500mm f4 IS II USM. What a travel! Thanks for sharing all your knowledge.
I started with a pocket camera as a youngster, no birds in flight etc. hahaha, a little bit more "serious" with a Fuji FinePix and followed by an Olympus E-1 and an E-500. Now I like wildlife photography as my main hobby and stayed with Olympus, Olympus E-M1X and E-M5 Mark III. One of these cameras is my nearly daily buddy at my walks. Yep, I am a "croppy", but lightweight equipment is important for me and its perfect for my needs.
Great concise video as always. My first birding setup was a Canon FTb film camera with a Kiron 24-200(?) zoom. There were no program modes on the camera: manual mode was the only option and autofocus had yet to be invented. A solid camera to learn on but the lens was awful. Now I use an R5 with a 400mm f/4 DO mkii often with a 1.4 tele converter. I thought about getting the R7 as an economical backup body but the different ergonomics, low light performance and buffering make me think it would rarely be out of the bag. Love the show and congrats to Glenn on getting the book published!
First camera for birds and anything else was a film camera the Nikon FG 20, currently have a canon R5 and the RF 100-500 as well as a few other of the new RF lenses. Thanks for putting out a great show.
Hello Jan and Glenn Thank you for the guide .... I used a lot of the settings you recommended but with a few changes, mostly in the customised buttons ... 1) AF-ON .. set this up for eye detection/AF ... works well 2) Star botton ... set this to Metering and AF Start ...and in the Info Detail set attaching to this option I have all the check boxes unchecked. 3) The AF Points Button is set to Start/stop tracking , and 4) The DOF Preview button has been used as a "Register/recall shooting function" (the icon is a camera with arrows in and out). This is my setting for BIF so in the Info Detail set attached to this icon I choose to Register a shooting function ( I set many items because when i go to this mode I dont want to necessarily carry over the functions I was using just before hitting the DoF button .... so a)Tick shutter speed and set it to a fast shutter (2,500) b) Tick and set ISO to auto c) Tick metering mode and set it to evaluative d) Tick AF are and set to Whole area e) Tick and set Subject tracking to on f)Tick and set subject to detect to animals g) tick and set eye detection on h) tick and set tracking sebsitvuty to -2 I) tick and set Acc/decel tracking to +1 j) Tick and set AF operation to on AND lastly dont forgt to hit Register Current Settings. This then makes the DoF button my preset for BIF and hitting that button gets me most of my settings for that purpose instantly PS in your next edition to the Guide please dont say use default ... say what the default is to make it clearer, and where you recommed a setting and there is an attached sub-menu INFO DETAIL SET please cover that off too. Oh, and where the screen shot says one thing and the text another ... please align.. (ie Touch shutter {camera page 8). Love your shows .. I always learn something useful. The R7 is streeets ahead of the D500 in AF Regards Robbey TC
I started with an Exacta Exa II. My dad surprise me with the Meyer Optic 500 mm f5.6 that had been in on the shelf in Payless Drugs for years (Too expressive to sell in a small town .. $189) The camera wore out in a few years and I found that the 500 mm was good for only 32 lines/mm, but they got me started. I now use an R6 and am playing with an R7. In Yellowstone last month I found the problems ( buffer, mechanical shutter impact, etc.) with the R7 that you described in the video. Thanks for the workarounds.
For me the first camera I used to shoot birds was my Canon Powershot SX730 HS, I now use a 1D Mark IV along with my Sigma 150-600 C and 70-200 f/2.8L IS II.
Thanks guys. I really enjoyed the video. My first bird photo was taken on a Fujica STX-1 back in the 80s with a 50mm f1.8 lens. It was a photo of a Galah in the back yard. My main birding camera now is the Canon R5 with 500mm F4L version 1.
Another great review Jan and Glen... love your tip on case settings and frank hands-on experience with the R7. My first birding camera - EOS 60D with EF 70-200/2.8LIS +1.4xII. I use my R7 primarily for birding with my RF100-500... backs up my R5 and great for those hard to reach birds.
Great show guys! I have a R5 at the moment and was tempted to add R7 as a back up body but I think I will pass R7 as I might be frustrated most of the time expecting R5 like results with greater reach. Let's see what comes up next :) I started with Canon 500D to 7Dii to Nikon D500/D850 and now back to Canon with R5!
Started out with a Canon 20D and a 75-300 zoom lens that was very soft at the long end. After the 7D and the 1D III I went to full frame and currently enjoy a R5 and R6 camera together with the RF 100-500 and an RF 800 f11. Depending on conditions, both cameras and lenses give good results.
I started with a fuji xt100 and an adapted Pentax 200mm f4 manual focus lens! Got a photo of a migrating osprey when going for a ride in my little boat here in the lagoon of Venice and never looked back! I just got my R7, the first real investment for bird photography and I'm so excited about it! I would love to photograph humming birds, but i'm not really at the best latitude.. when time comes i'm definetly planning a trip. Best photography channel ever (just started using backbutton autofocus and it's working out great!) compliments to both of you guys. Giovanni
My first camera [for capturing birds] was the Canon EOS RP. My current camera is the R7. The 100-500mm almost never comes off the R7. In my first hour with the R7 I got the Osprey grabbing fish shot I had been wanting. I have built up a decent collection of RF glass. The R7 feels like doubling the collection. I love the look of the 50mm f/1.8 for portraits. It also makes the 24-240mm that I already love a quite functional 38-380mm if/when I don't want the heft of the 100-500mm. Thanks for the show guys. Cheers from San Diego, CA.
Just recently discovered your channel, and love the videos! I started taking an interest in bird photography with an OLD Minolta x700 manual film camera, but really became hooked when I bought a Canon Rebel xSi with a 70-300mm lens about 15 years ago. The last five years or so, I have used a 7D Mark II, which I loved, but which I think just died on me. Your videos have convinced me that I want to upgrade to the R7! Keep the videos coming! Thanks!!!
Thanks for giving so detailed report about Canon 7. I started bird photography with canon 80D and currently having two sets 90D and R7 . Not aur for others but love crop sensor camera for reach and having more pixel in place of cropping!!
Great video guys. I started doing bird photography with a Canon Rebel T2i and 55-250 kit lens. I'm now using a Canon R5 and RF 100-500 and I love it. I also had a 7D Mark ii and EF 100-400ii for years and loved that combo.
I have been a photographer for many years, but only started bird photography 3 years ago with a 5dmk3. Last year I bought the R5, and I am still learning how to shoot with it, but loving every minute of it. Thanks for your great videos.
Unfortunately I am giving away my age here, in that I started bird photography with a Canon AE-1 !! I finally added a Sigma 70-200 for that body and thought that was the 'cat's meow'! Now I shoot with the Canon R, bought second hand, and recently dished out the money for the RF100-500 L zoom lens. I have occasionally shot in 1.6 crop mode but the loss of megapixels is sure a limiting issue. I keep watching your videos to learn as much as I can before making the leap to the R7 for bird photography. Thanks so much for the time, effort and opinions on the R7. All you've done has been very beneficial!
I had a hand-me-down canon xsi from my dad, with an old 70-300mm. I now use a canon 80d and the 100-400mm L mkII. Look forward to upgrading to the R7 sometime!
Hopefully the mark 2 or 3 will have a new sensor, proper weather sealing, decent buffer, cf card slot and be a worthy wildlife camera. But don't hold your breathe. Canon have crippled what could have been an awesome camera. Whilst others deliver
The Canon 750D was what first got me into bird photography and now I have the Canon R5, which I was attracted to for IBIS, and doing video through the viewfinder handheld, along with all it's other benefits. After watching this I realised I should try a different tracking setting.... thanks for that tip. Love your videos!
My first camera used for birth photography at Bosque del Apache was a Canon 50D. Today I use the R5 and just got the R7. Thanks for all your great info and honest reviews.
I have been shooting birds for a little while. Started with Nikon FE. before digital. Moved up to Canon SX10 and 50 that gave me lots of reach and practice before I moved to a 70D. Now shoot with Camon R6 with C100-400 and 1.4 extender. Hummingbirds are high on my list of birds to shoot so Glenn's book would be a great addition. Thanks Jack H.
My first camera I used to take photos of birds was a 35mm film-based Minolta Dynax 700si... but my main focus at the time was Formula One racing cars (once a year)! I currently have a Canon EOS 650D. I utilised Canon UK's 'test drive' program recently with the R5 and R6 and all the hype around the eye tracking and mirrorless functionality is well founded. Saving up for one of the R-series camera's, now that I've tried one. Great videos guys! PS: I looked at Glenn's page on your Hummingbird book and it looks an amazing read. One day I will visit the tropical Americas!
Strangely, I haven't felt any of the focusing issues in low light or compared to my R6. I've been photographing Barn Owls at dawn around sunrise and the biggest issue is the ISO performance compared to the R6. I also feel the focusing is slightly better than that camera but my settings were different from the ones shown in the video. I think what stands out more for me as a negative is the more pronounced rolling shutter, the really loud mechanical shutter sound and no grip available. It's still a great camera and complements my R6 nicely
Great review guys, thanks! My first camera was a Canon A1 with a FD 400mm f4.5, and now I have an R5 and like it. I agree with Jan on having the histogram in the EVF.
Had several cameras before I became more serious in taking pictures of birds using Canon 70D and EF 100-400mm mark ii. Then made the jump to R5 and RF 100-500mm. Eye tracking is definitely a game changer. I'm happy with my R5. Trying to decide if a R7 makes sense as a 1.6x crop camera. Cheers to all!
Started with a Panasonic GF1 + 45-200 (lol!) and now on a Sony A1 and 200-600. I got the bug when holidaying in Akaroa NZ and the native bellbirds were literally a couple metres away, it bought back childhood memories of how much I loved the photography in Forest and Birds magazines, and David Attenborough documentaries. It's been a long road of gear frustration, followed by getting decent equipment and realizing gear isn't the be-all and end all.
I started with canon 1300D Rebel 6, now i am using Canon R6 for the past year and recently just got the R7. It was a game changer for me to move from DSLR to mirrorless, absolutely not looking back.
Back in my college days I entered a bird photo in a college competition and took out 1st Place! It was a big surprise. That was with 35mm film. The camera was a Nikon F2 Photomic. What a beast! Today I use my R5 and I have recently purchased an R7. Love the extra "reach: with the cropped sensor. Thanks for the interesting video.
I started with a Nikon FM2 film camera to shoot birds. I've moved along with a Canon Rebel T31, a Canon 5D classic, a 7D and a 7D2, an EOS RP and curently use an EOS R6.
Awesome content!! Really love watching your videos. My first ever camera is R5 + RF 100-500, Went all in for this camera after seeing Jan’s reviews. Thinking of getting R7 for my wife
1st Camera - Canon EOS T3 Current Camera - Canon 90D Seriously considering the Canon R7 for an entry to Mirrorless. Thanks guys for the awesome content!
Hey, you two--thanks so much for the video report. I think I'll ultimately add a R7 as a back up for the reasons Jan stated. BTW, my first birding camera was a Canon 350D (wow, ancient!) but now am using the R5 Catherine dAlessio
This was another great video, Jan and Glenn. The first camera I used to photograph birds was a Honeywell Pentax ES2 (1970’s). The camera I currently use is a Nikon D5500 with a 70-300mm lens.
Great video guys! You almost started making me doubt I should've bought the r7 instead of the R6. Started with Nikon d3300 and now I'm using the canon R6. Can't wait for the next episode!
I started photographing birds for the first time when I retired 6 months ago. I purchased the R3 as my first camera and I continuously surprise myself with what I can capture. I am also trying to decide between the R7 or an R5 as a second camera body. Your video was very helpful for that review.
I have owned many Canon cameras starting with the A-1 and AE-1 35mm film cameras. My first camera that I felt was “bird capable” was the Rebel T2. I have subsequently owned a T4 and a T6s. I made the jump to mirrorless with the RP and now have upgraded to the R5. At each step, the capabilities of the gear improved and I like to think that my skills as a photographer increased as well. I feed hummingbirds in my backyard and I would love to sun Glenn’s book of awesome photos and detailed info.
I started with a Nikon D40 and the afs 70-200mm , now thanks to your show I jumped to the R5 with the 100-500mm and also use a Olympus E-M1x for extra reach with the canon 400mm 5.6L
The procapture feature and the focus stacking are both incredible features of the R7 and I use them often. I'm getting shots that just the high plus burst would not have gotten for me.
ProCapture is an Olympus feature and has been featured on the new OM-1 and earlier cameras. The R7 has a very crude precapture mode in comparison with the Olympus / OM cameras. It's a great feature and I don't know why it's not been adopted by the other manufacturers although Canon has made a tentative start with the R7.
@@stevemurnan1702 Olympus went bankrupt a short time ago. The private equity company that bought them are asset strippers (just see what they did to Sont Vaio), so good luck with the Olympus/M43 world. They will be selling the ProCapture off as soon as sales start falling. Which is basically now.
@@doghouseriley4732 What does that have to do with Canon's poor implementation of ProCapture on the R7? Incidentally, why would an asset stripper put his own money into developing as new camera? That sounds rather odd to me.
My first camera was a 40d, now I have the r5. I absolutely love this camera. I would like to have a backup camera, but not ready to shell out for another r5, and concerned about the ergonomic and performance differences of the r7, so I am waiting, too, to see what comes down the pike. Thanks for another great episode!
My first camera body used for bird photography was a Canon 7D Then I upgraded to a 7D mark ii and now I use a Canon R5. Thanks guys for great instruction and book opportunity!
Thanks guys for such good review/feedback. So, now I decided yes moving to R7 is gone be a good upgrade for me as I am shooting with an entry level DSLR Canon 200D M II. Could you also comment on the dynamic range of R7?
My first bird photos were taken with the Canon 350d. Now I am shooting mainly with the R5 and have the R7 for croping, back-up, light package and longtime video.
Oh gosh, now I need to remember something like 35 years ago... Minolta X700 with a 200mm f:4 and a 2x extender. I don't think a single slide from back then would make it through my culling process today but I learnt a lot about patience :-) Next was a Canon Eos 50e with the famous 300mm f:4L IS (first stabilized lens) that turned into a 25 year adventure with Canon (1n, 1v, 1Dmk4, 1Dx, 5Dmk4 etc...), a short swing by Nikon (those PF lenses and the D850 got me hooked up). Now Sony A1 and the amazing 600 f:4 and 200-600.
Hello Gentlemen, thank you for another great & informative video! I have not made the leap from Canon 7D to R camera. Soon, I hope to make a decision. The first camera I shot birds with was a Nikon F3, then made a big switch to auto-focus with a Nikon 8008 to shoot auto focus in Galapagos Islands, was reluctant to make the jump to digital, eventually went digital, now making the switch to mirror-less, R5 or R7.
Boston, Massachusetts here. Love watching you guys and have learned so much even though I'm VERY new to this. I took pictures of your exposure charts from your videos and use them to guide me. I started with a Sony 8mm camcorder about 30 yrs ago filming friends, sports, and birds. Then I started a plumbing business - so goodbye hobby! Recently got my first 'real' camera (was using cellphones), the M6MKii just a few months ago. My R7 just came today!! I have a friend up in Maine that lives on a lake and every summer the hummingbirds come back. I can't wait to get up there as those birds are simply fascinating. I understand what you say about starting with this gear instead of old dslr's, which I've never had, so I guess that is going to make me spoiled. I used to thread steel pipe by hand when I was a younger guy, so, I get the struggle part regarding old gear... Thanks guys! ✌️
Thanks for the in field review Jan and Glenn and the sample files. Looks like the R7 will be a massive upgrade from my current 60D (when funds allow, will be at least 12-18 months of saving for me, limited income). Currently saving for a 500mm F4 IS L (mark 1, can't afford the mark II).
I started my bird photography obsession with the Canon EOS 3 with the eye controlled autofocus. It seems primitive now compared to the R5 that I now use or certainly the R3 with its revived eye control. I hate to think how many cameras I’ve had between those two but I’ve loved them all.
My first bird camera was. Panasonic Z50, and then I changed to a Canon 550D and now I’m using a Canon 850D. Thank you for all your helpful tips, I certainly improved my photography.
I love your guys videos! Lots to learn and I enjoy seeing the beautiful shots you guys have taken! I picked up my first camera at around the age of seventeen and started taking pictures of nature and wildlife. My first camera was a Canon sx30is point and shoot... it wasn't much, but I still figured out how to get some pretty nice shots of birds with it. I am now twenty-nine and I am shooting with a Nikon D7100 with a SIGMA 100-400mm lens. I actually got my first really nice owl photos and some hummingbird shots with it this month! Its a great all around camera setup that has served me very well in my adventures. :)
I'm relieved that the R7 has a few minor drawbacks having gone from an 80d APS-C to full frame R6. I started bird photography with an EOS700d with a 55-250 lens, then through to an 80d and now an R6 with 100-400 & 800mm lenses, and boy is that autofocus worth it!
I started out with a Olympus 550UZ, the first 18x maginication superzoom. It used to take about 2 seconds just to pull focus in good light! Currently I use an R5 with the 100-500mm lens.
Thanks you both for your great review based on massive field experience and real comparison with other cameras. As for my first camera, I jumped into photography when I was 15 in the film days with a Pentax Km offered by my uncle with a 50 1.4. The light meter was broken so he had drawn me a chart where you set the speed equals to the iso and estimate aperture by looking at the sky (f11 if shady sun, f8 for light clouds etc). Good training that helps me now when I shift to manual! My second lens was a 200 f4 and I took my first bird photos with it: some beeeaters on the wires and barn owls in my village with an old Metz 45 torch. I got more serious into bird photography and bought a Pentax Mzm, still no AF with a sigma 400mm. Not a tack sharp lens but very light combo that did marvels in Lapland in 2000. Well 22 years after, we are in digital ages with such amazing cameras around. I have the Canon 5div, great camera but I miss the reach of my old 7d (but it’s files are too bad). My second hand 1div takes dust even if it is probably the camera I love most (16 Mpix is not much indeed). Waiting for my r7 to put on my 500mm f4ii or 100-400 v2. I would have preferred only 28mpix, one stop more better iso, gps and the ergonomics of the r3 but it would not cost 1500€. So all in all it will be amazing for the price point and 5div will become a perfect travel backup! Thanks again guys and good shooting to you all. Thomas P (from France)
I started and still currently using my Canon 500d + 55-250 lens for bird photography. So this video is gold for me to enter into the mirrorless world and make a decision on going for R5,R6 or the R7. Thank you for the videos 👍👍👍
My first camera for bird photos was a Nikon D7100 with a kit lens. Current using a Nikon D500 with a 200-500mm lens. Even though I don’t shoot with a Canon I enjoy your show! And I love your Prosets! They are very handy for editing.
My first camera for birds was the Canon 70D with the 300mm F/4 lens purchased June 2014. This was an amazing combination. I had no photographic background and received the camera gear 2 days before I flew out to Cairns and then a road trip to Iron Range. I am an Engineer so fortunately all the RU-vid photography videos that I had watched before leaving, although full of theoretical and practical technical speak, spoke a language that fitted how my brain works. I came home with 5000 photos and was blown away that many of the photos were far better than I had ever hoped given that I had zip photographic knowledge and skills. Of course when I now look back at the photos from that trip very few, if any, would now be keepers but I was hooked and morphed into a photographic twitcher. I now have an R6 with 100-500mm and 800mm F/11 lenses. I have a few questions for you guys about the R7 being a backup for the R6. The area of interest is the R6 20mp sensor compared to the crop factor R7 32.5mp sensor. I too love photographing birds in rainforests and I find the R6 and 100-500mm to be brilliant. Most of the time birds are close enough to fill a good portion of the frame. As discussed the R7 struggles and I'm not sure the crop factor and higher MP give any real advantage over the R6 in low light. However in good light the crop factor may be very helpful because of the much smaller 20MP sensor of the R6. I was wondering how the 800mm F/11 would work with the R7 in good light. You mentioned the poorer IS of the R7 on longer lenses. Also how does the shutter shake in the R7 for mechanical operation compare to the R7 rolling shutter in electronic mode 30 fps. I'm not sure if rolling shutter impacts birds in flight. If so does it mean that the R7 Electronic Shutter is best used at 15fps. In summary I was thinking of using the R6 with 100-500m and R7 with 800mm. That is how they would sit in my bag. Being older at 68 I'm a bit lazier and not so fast at quick lens changes etc. Thanks for your inspiring and challenging videos.
Great video as always Glenn and Jan! I started bird photography a year ago with a Canon T7i and am now using Canon R5. With this review, seriously considering R7 especially because of the reach. Thanks for such a wonderful review, always learning from both of you guys!
