I was having a hard time understanding the value proposition of these cameras, until I read Canon's Press Release:
"Ideal for hobbyists and general photography enthusiasts, the EOS R7 is the quintessential camera to take your photography to the next level. It is a powerful camera choice for those seeking an upgrade to their travel and vacation photos or to capture life-long family memories while opening a new world of creative and professional possibilities. The EOS R10 is perfect for content creators looking for a camera option to capture high-quality action videos and images of sports, wildlife, and motorsports."
Ahhh, THE camera to take one's photography to "
the next level." Who wouldn't want that? And, it opens a "
new world of...possibilities." So, buying new gear really is the secret to improving one's photography.
Sounds like the R7 would be a great choice --
the choice, in fact -- for upgrading one's travel photos. And, finally, a camera that allows capturing "
life-long family memories," which nobody has been able to achieve with their various cameras over the years. Are we witnessing the birth of the "Canon Moment?"
The R10 -- use it for sports, wildlife, and motorsports, according to Canon. Forget landscapes, portraits, and cityscapes. Oh, well; maybe the R7 has a landscape mode.
Canon continues:
"EOS R7 and EOS R10 provide enhanced video functions and accessories, such as the new multifunction shoe with EOS R7, while still maintaining a high-level ease of use. With a robust mirrorless system at their core, these cameras provide users with a powerful telephoto reach through both still image and video due to the 1.6x crop factor that comes with APS-C sensor cameras."
Glad to hear the cameras are easy to use; not only easy, but high-level easy.
The mind races with the potential for "
a powerful telephoto reach" from the 1.6x crop factor. Furthermore, it's a
mirrorless telephoto reach. Equivalence lives in CanonWorld?
I think that I'm still having a hard time to understand the value proposition here.
