Rank #5 in Best Mirrorless Cameras 2026: 10 Ranked, and Why the Spec Tables Lie
Canon EOS R7 with RF-S 18-150mm Lens
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Canon EOS R7 is an APS-C mirrorless body sold here as a kit with the RF-S 18-150mm zoom, and it takes fifth place in this guide at £1,439.00. It is the one camera in this ranking whose headline number survives a cross-check: the bullet claims a 32.5-megapixel sensor, and the spec table's "Effective Still Resolution" and "Rear Webcam Resolution" rows both read 32.5 MP, so all three agree. The listing shows 4.6 out of 5 from 35 ratings.
The neighbouring rows are less tidy. The field labelled "Maximum Shutter Speed" reads 30-1/8000 seconds, while the one labelled "Minimum Shutter Speed" reads 30-1/16000 seconds — the minimum is faster than the maximum, and both start at 30 seconds. "Compatible Mountings" lists Canon EF-S and Canon RF, yet the lens in the box is an RF-S lens: three mount names for one camera. And the 4.6 average sits on 35 ratings on the listing, while the vote spread behind this page runs to 100 votes, 86 of them five-star. Everything below is what the Amazon listing states; we have not tested, handled or measured the camera.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I bought this as my entry into wildlife photography, I planned to pair it with the Canon rf 100-400mm lens. This camera is perfect in every way. It has a multitude of settings to meet all needs and the smaller apsc sensor which equates to a 1.6 crop factor is excellent at giving you even more reach. I love the tracking capabilities especially the eye tracking. The auto focus works very well and it has plenty of options to fine tune what you need from it. This is a camera that is suited to both beginners and experts and I would definitely recommend to anyone.”
