Canon R7 & R10

Brendan Maher, Senior Manager – Product Marketing at Canon Australia comments: “The launch of APS-C format EOS R System mirrorless cameras today highlights Canon’s commitment to offering greater freedom of choice so that a wider group of photographers and content creators can answer their creative calling. With travel back on the agenda to visit family and friends or destinations on your bucket list, these cameras offer the perfect tool to help reignite the photography community’s creative fire and get them capturing moments again.

Mr Maher continues, “Allowing a new audience of photography and videography enthusiasts to access the innovation that drives Canon’s more premium models, the EOS R7 is ideal for enthusiasts looking to upgrade their camera and push creative limits to make their images stand out. Additionally, the camera is suited for wildlife and sports photographers that need the added reach of the APS-C in addition to the outstanding speed and tracking autofocus inspired by higher models in the range. With its compact size and weight, the EOS R10 is the perfect all-rounder for those considering buying a camera to capture memories on the go with family or while travelling.”

Experience new levels of precision and speed

As new models in the EOS R Range, the EOS R7 and EOS R10 inherit the intelligent autofocus technology featured in Canon’s high-performance full frame models to the APS-C format. Featuring deep learning and Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, users can keep track of subjects including vehicles, animals, and people, with precise head, face and eye detection over 100% of the frame1. Offering AF in low light down to -5 EV and -4 EV respectively2 and operational up to f/22 with teleconverters3, EOS R7 and EOS R10 make it easy to track birds in flight or athletes on the move. Both cameras feature Touch and Drag AF, whilst EOS R7 makes history as the first camera in the EOS R System to have a combined AF multi-controller and control wheel. This unlocks AF point control with fast and convenient setting and playback functions in one thumb movement or rotation of the dial.

Offering class leading performance to capture the moment with ease, EOS R7 and EOS R10 have the fastest continuous mechanical shutter of any APS-C EOS camera at 15fps4, as well as 30fps and 23fps electronic shutter5. The EOS R7 offers a maximum of 1/8000th second mechanical shutter speed and 1/16000th for electronic shutter, effectively freezing images of fast-moving objects whilst in motion. Powered by the latest DIGIC X Processor, these are highly responsive cameras capable of high-speed image processing. The addition of a 30fps RAW burst mode allows photographers and creators to work with the images captured during continuous shooting as a movie file, for simple frame selection. When pre-shooting mode is enabled, they can also capture images 0.5 seconds before the shutter button is even pressed. 

High quality capture on the go

Perfect for those shooting on the move or hand-held for multiple seconds, the In-Body Image Stabilizer (IBIS) in the EOS R7 joins the EOS R6, EOS R5 and EOS R3 in offering 8.0 stops of Co-ordinated Control IS, the world’s highest level of image stabilisation among all interchangeable lens digital cameras6. For the first time in EOS cameras, the IS system is used to level the horizon when the ‘Auto-level’ feature is enabled, and it also compensates for vertical shake when shooting in the newly added panoramic or panning modes. Offering extended reach, the newly designed 32.5 and 24.2-megapixel APS-C sensors within respectively EOS R7 and EOS R10 deliver sharp image quality even at a distance – ideal for sports and wildlife photographers that need to get closer to the action. Dual Pixel RAW alongside HEIF, Compact RAW and HDR modes unlock post-production freedom and enable greater rendition of scene tones. The Digital Lens Optimizer automatically provides the best in-camera JPEGs - correcting aberrations without loss of shooting performance.

Weighing just 612g and 429g each, with battery and card, the EOS R7 and EOS R10 give photographers and creators a powerful upgrade and the possibility to downsize from their existing DSLR camera and lens combinations. Compact, yet robust, the EOS R7 features weather sealing for those shooting in challenging conditions. 

 Level up content with 4K

Addressing the growing need to shoot both video and stills, EOS R7 and EOS R10 can shoot video in 4K 60p7 or 4K 30p which is down sampled from 7K and 6K respectively, for excellent image quality. This can be output at HDR PQ (YCbCr 4:2:2 10-bit) in-camera, or via HDMI. The EOS R7 includes an additional 4K 60p crop mode8, to extend the reach even further – perfect for filming wildlife. Both cameras can record past an individual 30-minute clip limit, and can shoot 4K 60p up to an hour9 opening up the possibility to capture long form content such as interviews and events. Both models support recording HDR PQ (YCbCr 4:2:2 10-bit BT.2020) movies that provide high dynamic range with minimal grading. For those that want to take it one step further, the EOS R7 is the first APS-C EOS outside of the Cinema EOS line to employ Canon Log 3 and Cinema Gamut – allowing a more flexible editing process. Perfect for those growing their following across social media, both models support vertical recording and technologies to keep on-the-go movies steady - EOS R7 capable of combining IBIS with optical and Movie Digital IS for superior stabilisation and EOS R10 using data from lenses featuring Optical IS to maximise the effect of Movie Digital IS. 

Seamless creativity and connectivity

With an intuitive design, content creators and photographers can streamline their process. With a 2.36m dot electronic viewfinder and OVF view assist, DSLR owners can easily make the move to mirrorless with a familiar viewfinder experience. Customisable dials and a vari-angle LCD screen offer seamless handling, while in-camera focus bracketing and depth compositing make these cameras powerful creative tools. The EOS R7 features a high 1.15x magnification viewfinder, allowing enthusiasts an immersive shooting or playback experience.

Featuring a built-in flash, EOS R10 is a fantastic all-in-one tool for photographers shooting in a range of environments, whether indoors or dimly lit spaces. With Dual SD UHS-II card slots, the EOS R7 also supports instant back-up, separate image and movie storage or recording different formats to each card. Helping budding creators and photographers share, store and sort their work, both cameras have enhanced connectivity with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth™10. Creators can upload content to their final destination via image. canon and control the camera via the Camera Connect app either via a compatible USB Type-C cable or wireless connection. For streamers, both cameras offer clean HDMI output for streaming as well as the ability to stream to YouTube via image.canon11. Users can also now directly upload RAW files to Canon’s new Cloud Image processing service on image. canon, which applies neural network image processing to further enhance image quality from a RAW file12. To provide the ultimate creator set-up, the EOS R7 and EOS R10 are fitted with the new multi-function accessory shoe – a first for EOS APS-C models - which supplies power and high-speed communication to advanced new accessories.
