Camera Q&A July 2025: Sony A7 V, Canon R7 Mark 2, and Point-and-Shoot Recommendations

Welcome, friends, to the CameraCurx.com! In today’s particular episode, we’re diving into a user Q&A session to answer your burning questions about cameras and lenses in 2025. We got a ton of questions from our previous video, and while I answered many, some I couldn’t get to. So, I thought, why not make a one-on-one video to tackle all your queries? It’ll be practical, straightforward, and to the point. For in-depth comparisons or detailed analyses, we’ve got tons of content on our channel—check those out! But today, this Q&A is all about giving you clear answers on the latest cameras and lenses. Let’s dive in!

What Third-Party Lenses Are Coming for Canon’s Full-Frame Cameras?

Rohit Kumar asked, “What third-party lenses are coming for Canon’s full-frame cameras? Will third-party lenses come?” Look, Canon is in talks, and they’re negotiating. If they strike the right deal, third-party lenses will arrive. Got it? Canon had lengthy discussions for APS-C lenses, and now we see those in the market. For full-frame RF-mount lenses, Canon has openly said discussions are ongoing. Expect one or two lenses to start showing up by the end of 2025. By 2026-27, third-party lenses from brands like Sigma, Tamron, and others could flood the market. If Canon gets the deal they want, it’s all good—talks are happening! Stay tuned for updates.

Best Camera Under 50k in 2025

Another question: “Sir, what’s the best camera under 50k in 2025?” I’ve covered this in our “Best Beginner Camera” video, but here’s the short version. If your budget is strictly 50k and you can’t go a rupee above, the Canon EOS R100 is your best bet for photography. It’s the only solid option in that price range. However, keep an eye on the Nikon Z30’s pricing. During big sales like BBD or Prime Day, the Z30’s price in the US has dropped significantly, and I expect it to hit the 50k range in India soon. Call up Nikon’s official stores in your city and ask, “Bhaiya, at what price are you giving the Z30 with the kit lens?” If it’s within 50k, grab it!

If you’re a content creator, I’d suggest stretching your budget a bit and going for the Sony ZV-E10—it’ll be a game-changer. Manage it somehow, and you won’t regret it.

Best Camera for a 2 Lakh Budget and Thoughts on the 7A75

Santosh Kumar asked, “Sir, my budget is 2 lakh, and I’m waiting for the 7A75. If its price is too high, what alternative cameras with AI technology can I look at?” Great question, Santosh ji! The Sony A7V (not 7A75, likely a typo for the upcoming Sony A7 Mark V) is expected around September 2025, possibly with a 44M or 33M stacked CMOS sensor. Its price might start high—around 235k or 224k—but if you can stretch your budget by 20,000-25,000, it’ll fit right in. When you’ve planned for so long, why give up? Use finance options if needed and go for it!

If the A7V is out of reach, consider the Canon EOS R6 Mark III, expected by year-end 2025. It’s coming with a 30M+ sensor packed with AI-powered features like advanced autofocus and subject detection. Pricing will likely hover around 220k, but it’s set to be a beast for both stills and video. Wait until September for clarity, and start saving a bit more to hit that 225k mark. You’ll be set with either of these cameras

When Can We Expect the Canon EOS R7 Mark II?

Another hot question: “Sir, when can we expect the R7 Mark II?” The Canon EOS R7 Mark II update is overdue. The R7 and R10, both launched in 2022, are four years old, and Canon’s sales in the 2 lakh and below segment are slipping globally. Canon needs to wake up and announce some updates! The good news? The R7 Mark II is coming, likely by late 2025, possibly with a stacked sensor for faster performance and improved autofocus. Rumors also suggest two new pro-tier RF-S lenses to pair with it. I’ll keep you posted if anything changes, but for now, expect it by year-end. Canon, get moving—it’s good for your health

Point-and-Shoot Camera Recommendation for iPhone 14 Pro Users

Finally, a user from Australia with a $1000 budget asked, “Can you recommend a point-and-shoot camera? I’m currently using an iPhone 14 Pro and considering the Sony ZV1 Mark II, DJI Osmo Pocket 5 Pro, or DJI Pocket 3.” If you’re into content creation, the DJI Pocket 3 is the best of the three—its video capabilities are stellar. However, for still photography, stick with your iPhone 14 Pro unless you’re ready to invest in a premium compact camera. The iPhone’s computational photography outshines most budget compacts like the ZV1 Mark II.

If you can stretch your budget, consider premium options like the Canon PowerShot V1, Fujifilm X00 VI, or Ricoh GR III / HDF. These deliver superior image quality for stills and video, making them worth the investment. Otherwise, your iPhone 14 Pro is already a powerhouse—don’t underestimate it
