Canon R7 Is 4 Years Old… Is It STILL Worth Buying for Wildlife in 2026?

Join me this week as we have a candid talk about the Canon R7 on its 4 year anniversary as we are on a field shoot chasing Pikas and Marmot and have a wild encounter with an Ermine and a Pika that you won't want to miss. Our main discussion is a 4 year real world review of the R78 and is it still a buy today and is it still the bet Canon crop camera available. We also have a quick review of a new bit of tech im using from OHO Sunchine and its a pair of camera glasses. 📸🕶️OHO Sunshine Store https://amzn.to/44T8XlF 🏪 OHO Sunshine Camera Sunglasses. https://amzn.to/4vUqsNj 00:00 - Intro 02:50 - Reliability, Weather Sealing, Toughness 05:55 - Camera Ergo and Layout 08:58 - Autofocus 12:14 - Tips for better AF 14:56 - Rolling Shutter 17:56 - Image Quality 23:27 - The MOST incredible encounter! 27:48 - Wildlife Ethics - resisting the Urge.. 30:05 - A VERY cool piece of gear! 33:45 - Is it still a Buy??? #CanonR7 #WildlifePhotography #AlaskaWildlife #CanonPhotography #GearReview #Stoat #Pika #HatcherPass #NaturePhotography #MirrorlessCamera #CanonR7Review #WildAlaska #WildlifeEncounters #OhoSunshine ______________________________________________ Affiliate links mean I earn a commission from qualifying purchases.
