More Proof: Canon Concentrating on Mirrorless Camera

In the beginning of 2018 Canon representatives told us that Canon will be Cannibalizing its DSLRs lineup of camera to promote Mirrorless sales. In past 7-8 Months we have witnessed the same, Canon is more busy in announcing new Mirrorless models. Most of the DSLRs are waiting for an update, we do wish Canon also put some attention in updating Canon APS-C Flagship and 5DS series camera.

BTW, in Canon strategy documents you can clearly see they have said

Canon concentrating  management resources on Mirrorless.

We do hope that Canon should continue to put his attention of scheduled updates of DSLRs cameras. We will update you soon as we get any new information.

Canon T7 vs Canon T6


Take a look at specification comparison between the two, let’s have a detail look in the specs of both the camera. The canon T7 arrived with a new sensor and a bit better buffer compared to Canon T6 camera.

New Sensor inside Canon T7

Take a look at Major specification  difference between the core specification difference of between the two entry level camera.

Canon is not using it’s 7 year old sensor in Canon T7 camera, and it’s a really great news for all of us that Canon finally retired the 18MP sensor from entry level Tx series which was first introduced with Canon 7D camera. The new 24 MP sensor features better image quality, noise control and dynamic range compared to the Canon T6 camera.

Focus System

Canon T7 Canon T6
Focus Type Auto & Manual Focus Auto & Manual Focus
Focus Mode Manual Focus (M), Single-servo AF (S) Manual Focus (M), Single-servo AF (S)
Autofocus Points Phase Detection: 9 (1 Cross-Type) Phase Detection: 9 (1 Cross-Type)

The AF system of both the camera remains exactly same, difference between the two. Both camera uses 9 point Phase AF sensor and traditional contrast AF based APS-C sensor. So, you will be getting contrast AF in video mode in both the camera.

ISO Sensitivity

Canon T7 Canon T6
ISO Sensitivity Auto, 100 to 6400 (Extended Mode:100 to 12800) Auto, 100 to 6400 (Extended Mode:100 to 12800)
Shutter 30 to 1/4000 Second , Bulb Mode 30 Second , Bulb Mode
Remote Control RS-60E3, TC80N3 via RA-E3 (Optional) RS-60E3 (Optional)
Metering Method Center-Weighted Average Metering, Evaluative Metering, Partial Metering Center-Weighted Average Metering, Evaluative Metering, Partial Metering
Exposure Modes Modes: Aperture Priority, Manual, Program, Program Shift, Shutter Priority
Metering Range: EV 1.0 to EV 20.0
Compensation: -5 EV to +5 EV (in 1/3 or 1/2 EV Steps)
Modes: Aperture Priority, Manual, Program, Program Shift, Shutter Priority
Metering Range: EV 1.0 to EV 20.0
Compensation: -5 EV to +5 EV (in 1/3 or 1/2 EV Steps)
Buffer/Continuous Shooting Up to 3 fps at 24 MP for up to 150 Frames in JPEG Format
Up to 3 fps at 24 MP for up to 11 Frames in Raw Format
Up to 3 fps at 18 MP for Unlimited Frames
Up to 3 fps at 18 MP for up to 6 Frames in Raw Format
White Balance Modes Auto, Cloudy, Custom, Daylight, Flash, Fluorescent (White), Shade, Tungsten Auto

Despite of having high resolution sensor, the camera is able to maintain same ISO numbers as of Canon T6 camera.  However, the new sensor gives better low-light performance compared to Canon T6 camera.

The continuous shooting speed of the new Canon T7 camera matches with Canon T6, despite of having a higher resolution sensor. The Buffer of the camera is also improved, now you are getting 24MP raw files upto 11 frames whereas the T6 was limited to 6 frame in a row.

Video Recording

In video mode we do not have any significant improvement. Both camera features same video mode.

Canon Working AF Phase and Contrast AF Calibration, Hybrid Viewfinders

Canon Working Hybrid Viewfinder and advance AF systems,  the screen shot of new Hybrid Viewfinder is on your screen, That will display additional information while getting AF done. Canon is also working to enhance the Phase and Contrast based AF system collaboration. Both will all together when you are using viewfinder of the DSLR. These patents are published in Japanese language so its bit hard to get everything from it.

Canon working on new Hybrid AF Module that will help upcoming Pro DSLRs to calibrate Phase + Contrast AF all-together to give improved AF performance while working in Viewfinder mode.

As we all know that Canon EOS RP uses the same sensor as of Canon 6D Mark II camera. So, expecting a better dynamic range from Canon 6D Mark II as we have in Sony A7 II isn’t fair.

What actually improved from Canon 6D Mark II vs Sony A7 II ?  By the Introduction of new DIGIC 8 image processor the Canon also implemented new noise processing algorithms with the camera. So, the noise of the camera is bit more controlled compared to Canon 6D Mark II.

Exposure and more…

Up to 5 fps at 26.2 MP for up to 50 Frames in Raw Format
Up to 5 fps at 24 MP for up to 50 Frames

As you can see Canon EOS RP features extended ISO range compared to  Sony A7 II Camera. Canon EOS RP features ISO range starting from 100-40,000 in standard Range and 50-102400 in Extended Range.

Whereas, Sony A7II camera features Standard ISO range from 100-25600 and you also have a option to push your ISO range to ISO 50.

In general more ISO range means better low-light performance. But with Sony A7 II camera you are also getting  5 axis  Image stabilization system. So, when you are shooting in low light environment  you can hit more lower shutter speed (upto 5 stop) when compared to Canon EOS RP camera.

One of the best thing is you don’t have to worry about a bit while using Prime lenses or third party lenses with your camera. Since, image stabilization will help you all the time despite of type of lenses you are using.

Canon EOS RP camera can record Videos in 4K whereas the Sony A7II camera limited to Full HD video recording mode only.

But Keep in Mind the Canon EOS RP Camera have some issues in 4K video recording mode

Limitations of Canon EOS RP in 4K Mode

  1. Canon EOS RP uses the APS-C Portion of the sensor, so you will be getting very limited dynamic range
  2. Canon EOS RP camera 4K video mode suffers from 1.6X Crop factor.
  3. Canon EOS RP camera doesn’t have DPAF support when you are recording 4K videos.

Limitation of Canon EOS RP camera in Full HD Video Mode

In Canon EOS RP camera is missing 24p frame option in Full HD and HD recording mode.

Sony A7 II Camera doesn’t miss any standard recording option in Full HD video mode.

At the same time Sony A7 II camera 24 MP BSI CMOS Video Dynamic range is better compared to Canon EOS RP 26MP CMOS camera.

8Bit output with S-Log2 whereas Canon EOS RP has 8bit output without C-log.

DPAF vs HYBRID – Auto Focus

Focus Control  
Focus Type Auto & Manual Focus Auto & Manual Focus
Continuous Focus Continuous AF upto 3 FPS Continuous AF upto 5 FPS
Autofocus Points Phase Detection: 4779 Phase Detection: 117
Contrast Detection: 25

Canon clearly have a upper hand in the specs sheet while mentioning their EOS RP camera carry have more than 4K AF area zones or segments.

So, it’s very clear that Canon will have more AF screen coverage .

Fastest Camera – Canon EOS RP or Sony A7 II ?

Canon EOS RP camera fails to give Continuous AF support at 5FPS more, Continuous AF starts from 3 FPS and Subject tracking goes down upto 2.6 FPS.

Sony A7 II camera features Continuous shooting speed 5 FPS full time AF support and very accurate Eye AF support while recording videos.

Which one has better Display ?

Viewfinder/Display  
Viewfinder Type Electronic Electronic
Viewfinder Size 0.39″ 0.5″
Viewfinder Pixel Count 2,360,000 2,359,296
Viewfinder Eye Point 22.00 mm 27.00 mm
Viewfinder Coverage 100% 100%
Viewfinder Magnification Approx. 0.70x Approx. 0.71x
Diopter Adjustment -4 to +1 m -4 to +3 m
Display Screen 3″ Rear Screen Swivel Touchscreen LCD (1,040,000) 3″  Tilting LCD (1,228,800)
Screen Coverage 100% 100%

Canon EOS RP camera features better touch screen and viewfinder, compared to Sony A7II camera.

Other Features

Sony A7 II camera features better battery life (100+ shots),  You will be also getting Environmental sealing  with Sony A7 II camera. No weather sealing in Canon EOS RP.

Comparatively if we talk about list of lenses available, then we don’t have more than 10 lenses for Canon EOS RF Mount camera at the time I am writing this post. Whereas, Sony A7II camera have 100+ lenses out there specifically made for Sony FE Mount cameras.

Verdict:

For Hybrid Shooters we have no option other than Canon EOS RP, nature of display Canon EOS RP is more user friendly compared to Sony A7 II. For still shooters we recommend Sony A7 II camera, since the camera features better dynamic range, In-body 5 axis Image Stabilization system and better continuous drive.
