Canon R7 Firmware 1.5.0 Update | Is it worth it? - Reupload (No Music).

I clicked on this because it said NO MUSIC, yay, we don’t always, me never, want/need music background noise. Thank you, thank you. Helpful video.

I've decided to basically have no music if im talking going forward, there was a lot of complaints about it.

Sorry but was hoping that 1.5.0 was new only sawnow that i have it for more than 13 days and it is absolute crap. nothing is fixed problems are still there only a bit less but more intense when it happens. So my r7 will stay in cupboard still :( , luckily i didn´t invest in rf lenses and bought some ef ones that i can luckily use on my new sony that works even with canon lenses. Oh and don´t get me started on the sensor noise even in full sun , even your pictures show the noise in the blue of the sky. On my sony and pentax that happens only in very lowlight. And stop making the haze responsible , have taken a lot of plane pictures in 30 deg celsius and only the canon is that bad, pentax with dfa lenses perfect screw focus lenses hit and miss, sony with g not gm lenses perfect ,canon r7 borrowed L lenses , 400 €camera quality pictures . R7 was my worst buy ever and where i live can´t get rid of it.

Not sure what is happening on your end, but for me the issues are much less frequent and when they do happen, it doesn't seem any better or worse in that way, sensor noise will be a thing on APSC from any brand, some less then others, the R7 shows it more because of the higher pixel count. I've taken over 40 thousand pictures with the R7, and compared to the 7D mark II I had originally, the noise isn't close. The r7 is leaps ahead, but heat haze on distance subjects is a thing. Its part of the atmosphere. Also noise is evident when you crop in a lot on any camera, again higher pixel count of the r7, makes that more pronounced. You have the 1.6x crop from the sensor and then when you crop in, in general, it would be even worse. The fact is if you want less noise, your better off with a full frame camera like the r6/r5 but no camera is 'perfect'.

@@CrawPhotography oh i know all the technical stuff about and could write a thesis about it , but short is very simple . getting rid of those videofeatures is a must if we want to get good PHOTOcameras , the speed of processor and transfer needed for those video features ruins the quality by introducing parasite noise ,there is a reason why usb and other cables must get more shielding the faster they transfer and in camera there is no place for that. also a reason why i didn´t go higher than the A7riii sony , what good does it do me when a 60 mp looks worse after denoising than a 42 or even my 36 pentax , say what you want but denoising destroys details and when i get my composition i want it as good as possible and not effed up by a technical deathroute forced upon us by some youtubers who should get a good camcorder with even better videoquality due to their sensors being optimized, vidoe on photocameras where meant as little bonus not a feature,at least in the beginning . and the r7 is a prime example of that ,not to forget it also has the iq destroying aa filter only video users are really wary about. but in general canon (that i loved ) is making quite some crap like all the others at the moment. same goes for AF ,why bother with a superb precise AF if that precision gets destroyed by aafilter and postprocessing. yes composition is more important , but why accept worse iq of said composition for an increase in price of the camera?

I love my R7. Sure, there are a few things it could do better, like tracking and taking so long to come up after going to sleep. Noise starts being an issue at about 3200 iso, but that's not bad for an APS-C camera! Before that a light use of noise reduction software is all that is needed, if anything. I have never had a single client complain about noise or "softness" from having used noise reduction software. These are things only other photographers might notice or care about, and the software is getting better and better every year! I have a friend who refuses to shoot even his R5 over 800 ISO because he says the noise "ruins" the image! I don't see it. My clients don't see it! Some folks will never be happy!

@@alansach8437 having a cheap pentax kf too , k1m2 also but not the point, the kf is a 700€ apsc whose image quality up to 6400 is great , the r7 iq is abysmal compared to it ,heck even my old canon 2000d or rebel something in the us makes more appealing pictures,so it is not the apsc the real problem but that unhealthy obsession of video that induces extreme electrical parasitic noise ,plus my cheap pentax also does pixelshift ,even with mild movement correction mode, in superb quality , i can’t simply find even the slightest reason of that cameras existence. A camcorder makes better vids for less money and let that hybrid crap in the cupboards ( bad video and photo 🤦🏻) . And about some folks never be happy , i accept such a quality from 500€ cameras but never from a hyped 1500€ one, there is always a limit to letting corporation screwing people and most newer canons should not be praised so artificially to get them to understand we want quality for our money and not simple blind brand loyalty. I pay , so i expect an equivalent for it , r10 300 , r8 500 and r7 700 , that is their real worth.

@@alansach8437 A lot is down to person preference, I've used this camera at stupid iso late at night and it performs considerably well for an APSC, I just wouldn't have even got the image on the DLSR equivalent like the 7D mk II which is what I had before it. Noise is something people really no longer need to worry about, Even lightrooms built in noise reduction is perfectly fine, the problem is some people overdo it, like maxing it out and seeing weird results, rather then having it at 30-40 which provides good results depending on what the image is like, and also how far you crop in.
