r/canon on Reddit: Choosing between the R10 and R7 is a very hard thing to do. Help me out please!
April 23, 2023 -

Since the release of both camera's I've been looking to get rid of my backup body (the RP) and add a crop sensor to the collection. Specifically for wildlife, to get more use out of my Tamron 150-600 telephoto lens. I recently picked up wildlife photography and enjoying it a lot, however not sure if it's something I'm fully committed on yet.

My main reason to go for either of these 2 bodies is their insane AI autofocus and tracking combined with the newest technology, DIGIC X and sensor. But here is where I'm stuck.

The R10 is basically the R7 but in a cheaper body with a bit less options but for me I wonder if the R7 is worth the extra price bump. This is why:

  • I never had IBIS and I don't think I really need it

  • I never use any camera in pouring rain or wet conditions

  • I never do video on my camera

  • I don't need 2 SD card slots (in 8 years I've had no issues using one slot)

  • battery life of both camera's is already better than what I own now and I always make it though the day with this.

  • I prefer the wheel and button layout of the R10 because it's more familiar.

So basically my only reason to go for the R7 would be to have a more future proof body, which is more robust, has a bigger battery and more megapixels. But I really wonder if the megapixels is something to go for or not. The price difference here is €1.700 (R7) vs €900 (R10). You can get quite a cool EF or RF lens for that difference.

So What do you think I should do? Get a more future proof body for almost double the money or try out the R10 which ticks most of the boxes for me and settle with less good specs.

Is the r7 worth the extra cost over r10 for a hobbyist
Here is a chart for some of the difference between the 2. Only you know if they are worth it to YOU. Some people want the "extra dial" and can't live without it, some people want the extra megapixels to crop more, some people can't live without weather sealing, some people want IBIS. If you don't have these features will you miss them by not having them, or do you just want to try them out. Analysis paralysis is a thing sometime you just have to go with your gut. Will you regret your decision (mentally) not just buying the more expensive body? https://www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/compared/r7-r10-r50-r100-compared.htm More on reddit.com

Canon R7 or R10 - www.photomacrography.net
Based on some recent discussion and comments scattered about in the 'equipment discussions' topics, I am convinced that I should finally ditch my EOS EF 50D's and get a more modern camera body, in this case either the Canon R7 or R10 (I have an RP already, but my son uses it for sports).

I'm not a pro and don't make any money from photography but I do enjoy it. I wanted to stick with Canon. Not because I have such a vast investment in lenses, I just like the Canon that I have. I started looking at the R7. I also decided that I wanted the in-body IBIS so didn't consider the R10 very ... More on dpreview.com

R10 or R7 beginner
The R10 is a very capable camera and combined with the RF 100-400 would work great for wildlife photography. Going with the R7 would be an upgrade to treat yourself, not a necessity. I own the R7 and use it for hobbyist wildlife photography with the RF 100-400 (planning to upgrade to a 100-500L or 200-2800 eventually but I'm currently a broke college student). Here's my perspective on what the R7 offers over the R10: Sensor resolution (33 vs 24 MP) nice to have when cropping heavily, but not that important unless you're printing large photos. Won't matter at all for posting to social media. In-body image stabilization is extremely useful when shooting still subjects in low-light conditions handheld with a lens that doesn't have image stabilization. If any of those conditions aren't satisfied: you need to freeze motion, have a tripod, or are using a lens with image stabilization it's still slightly useful but far from critical. The same applies to shooting handheld video with a non-stabilized lens. Weather sealing. I'm not sure how to rate this one. Weather-sealed is far from waterproof, and non-sealed cameras can generally survive a little bit of rain unless you get unlucky. It's definitely nice to have, and necessary for some, but personally I'm overprotective and put my camera away when it's raining so I can't say I've gotten that much use out of it. People use non-sealed cameras for 10+ years with no issues. Dual card slots (vs 1) ranges from useful to critical for professionals, but not really needed for a hobbyist. Battery life (rated 660 vs 450 shots) I love the R7's effectively all-day battery but just carrying spares is barely an inconvenience. Ergonomics I have giant hands and much preferred the R7's larger grip when I tried both. This was quite possibly the biggest deciding factor for me apart from IBIS. Larger viewfinder is nice but not necessary. Video features the R7 can shoot in log format and has better 4k video options, but personally I don't shoot video enough for it to matter. And what the R10 has over the R7: Size and weight (615 vs 430 grams) the R7 is a bit more bulky. I haven't found it to be an issue, but I'm seemingly more inclined than most to lug camera gear around. Built-in flash the R7 doesn't have one and I miss it sometimes. An external flash that can be angled to bounce is so much more versatile anyways though, I just picked up a 600EX-RT for for $80 used. In summary I don't think the R10 would fall short of your needs, and almost everything the R7 offers is in the category of "nice but not necessary". If the price difference factors into what lenses you can afford then get the R10, glass is more important than the camera body. More on reddit.com

September 25, 2024 - The R7 offers dual card slots. The R7 and other Full Frame bodies lack a built in flash. If flash is needed an external speedlite/ flash unit is required for flash photography. The R10 doesn't offer IBIS instead it relies on lenses with IS for stabilization and it only has 1 card slot.

May 5, 2025 - It runs on a 24.2MP APS-C sensor, which is plenty for most creators, and uses the same speedy DIGIC X processor found in the R7. That gives you 15 fps with the mechanical shutter and up to 23 fps electronically, which is nuts at this level. Autofocus? Still fantastic. You get Canon’s top-tier Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, which means eye-detection, face tracking, and animal tracking that feels like magic. For vloggers and content creators who live life in front of and behind the camera, the R10 delivers the goods.

r/canon on Reddit: Is the r7 worth the extra cost over r10 for a hobbyist
March 22, 2025 -

Hello everyone, I currently use a Canon Rebel T7 and am looking to upgrade to a mirrorless system for bird photography, which is a serious hobby of mine. I've narrowed my options to the Canon EOS R7 and the EOS R10, both with the RF 18-150mm lens.

Currently, there's approximately a 300-400 euro price difference between the two. I can afford the additional cost of the R7, but if I choose the R10, I could purchase the R10 with the lens and the RF 100-400mm. With the R7, I would have to wait to get the amazing 100-400.

I understand the R7 has IBIS, a higher resolution sensor and sealing. Will these features make a significant difference for bird photography as a hobbyist? Does anyone here have experience with these cameras for bird photography? I do a lot of landscape and nature photography as well.

I would greatly appreciate your help!
