Waiʻanae Range after sundown with Honolulu in the foreground. Yeah, not the ideal use for this camera but FEDEX was late, the sun was setting and this is what I got. The EF-S 18-135 3.5-5.6 IS USM with adapter feels like a lead pipe on the end of this tiny camera. Guess I should have bought the kit lens. IQ might be slightly better than my 90D in terms of noise but AF is a lot better. Even with IBIS and IS I still need faster shutter speeds than my R due to high pixel density. The EVF is great in subdued light—smooth and clear—but dim and blocked up in the shadows when shooting in the Hawaiian sunshine.
I'm glad to see some other lenses in action and the 100-500 seems well suited for this camera. How's the smaller FOV on the R7? For some reason I struggle with the 100-500 paired on my R5 for distant subjects whereas I don't seem to have that problem with the big whites.
Anyone have any shots @ 6400 or lower during early morning low light, (noisey files) how did the files clean up using a RAW Noise Editor before processing?

I shoot a lot in twilight and the R7 gets really noisy in the shadows and clouds. Denoise AI helps but it's better to just let the shadows stay dark. It's a little better than my 90D in this regard but not a big difference. However, sports shooters with big telephoto lenses will find high ISO is great in bright and even light. My afterglow landscape image further just above (before my lizard) in this tread (page 7 I think) was shot after sundown and run through Denoise AI.

No I have not used the focus bracketing feature in the camera. I've been shooting handheld and using a flash for everything I'm doing so I'm not sure how well it would work in that situation. I think I would need a constant LED light to use a fast frame rate. Just got an rf100 2.8 today. Can't wait to put it to use...

Thanks Gochugogi , a work around would be to bracket for your landscape shots in that condition. most would use 3 shots, I suggest to use 5. Set up one of your numbers on the dial just for that. Think of 1,2.3 as PAL Photo, Action, Landscape. P for general photography or video, A for action, L for your bracket shots.. Then you have M, Tv, & Av for however you use them.
Unfortunately you dont have the luxury of bracketing for action shooting..
Here's my first shots with the RF 100 2.8. Found these guys in the control room at work last night. Can't wait to get out and shoot in a more natural environment...

"Control Room", night shift, and Alabama makes it sound like you and I are in a similar line of work.
Keeping the lights on in the valley.
Anyway, nice macro shots - I await my R7, but I do have the old EF 100 f/2.8 L macro and a couple of EF-RF adapters laying around.

I've used the stacking feature several times now using my EF-S 60 macro, kit, EF-S 10-22, and EF 24-70 f4 L in macro mode. Works wonderfully hand held, after some practice. I use Lightroom then open in Photoshop as layers. After aligning, stacking, and flattening, the result is great. I can't tell if its using 15 or 30 fps, with my camera set to 15, but its fast. Much faster than my M6II at this same thing. As far as I can tell the bracketing frame rate is independent of body setting for the mode one was in. And IBIS on the 60 works great too!

Just tested and focus bracketing works equally well with the EF 100 L as expected. And the lens feels good on the R7 body too. I like having 35, 60, and 100 macros, lets me choose my FOV. I'm really liking this R7, it has all the magical little features of the M but the body can handle my heavier EF lenses like the 100L or 24 f4 L as well as the longer teles. These overpowered the M grip. So far the AF and IS have worked really well.

Good to know it is working for you handheld. I assume you're not using a flash? If you are, which one?

Not too far off. I work in a chemical plant. We make a catalyst used in the production of biodiesel. I'm about halfway through 32 straight night shifts.... brutal. Haven't had a single day off with the R7 yet. I just squeeze some shots in, to and from work on occasion.... or at work in this case.
I'm really liking this RF 100 2.8 so far. I'm in the process of selling my 70-200 IS II that I rarely use. I feel like this lens can cover that gap as well as macro. The only con I saw in reviews was the focus shift. I haven't ran into that issue with how I'm shooting but I think that can be alleviated on the R7 with the EXP + DOF setting in live view where it focuses with the aperture stopped down.
I generally am shooting outside and don't need a flash, photographing flowers, beach pebbles, etc. The 35 macro has a built-in ring light which is occasionally useful since it has a very short MFD when you get close to 1:1. If I'm shooting in more controlled situations, I have a Pixel adjustable color temperature video light I can mount on a small tripod. Usually the camera is also tripod mounted then.
