Canon EOS R vs Canon EOS R7
Every spec below is quoted from the makers' official pages — where a figure isn't published we say so rather than guess. Sizes are drawn at true relative scale from published dimensions, and the bag-fit row is computed against our measured bag catalog.
The 3 biggest published differences
- Battery life (CIPA): the R7 leads at 770 shots (LCD) / 500 shots (EVF), CIPA standard, at 23°C vs the R's Approx. 370 shots (at 23°C).
- Burst — mechanical: the R7 leads at 15 fps (mechanical/1st-curtain electronic shutter) vs the R's Max. Approx. 8fps (Max. 5fps with AF Tracking).
- EVF resolution: the R leads at 3.69 Million dots (1280x960) vs the R7's 2.36 million dots (1024x768).
