Should I upgrade from the Canon EOS 90D to the Canon EOS R7?
Upgrading is likely worth it. Canon's EF-EOS R adapter gives full autofocus with EF and EF-S lenses, so your existing lenses carry over.
What you gain
- faster bursts (30fps vs 10fps)
- better video (4K 60p vs 4K 30p)
- cleaner high ISO
- in-body stabilisation
- a lighter body (612g vs 701g)
- a mirrorless electronic viewfinder showing the exposure before you shoot, and modern subject-detection autofocus
- 3 years of newer processing and autofocus (2019 → 2022)
What you give up
- Nothing significant on paper
What it costs
| EOS R7 new | £1,049 |
| EOS R7 used (MPB, typical) | £810 |
| Your EOS 90D trade-in (rough estimate) | ≈ £460 |
| Net cost buying used | ≈ £350 |
Trade-in estimates assume about two-thirds of the typical MPB resale price; real offers vary with condition and shutter count.
