I have worked as a filmmaker for 11 years (www.mariusloland.no) and have always used Canon cameras. Among other things Cinema C100 and C200. The former used to film my first documentary for NRK: https://www.mariusloland.no/2017/03/30/mot-en-av-mine-minste-pa-nrk/ For the past six months I have used...

the most perfect camera in the world. period.

Capable, customisable, but compromised. The Canon EOS R is a great proof of concept, with fantastic features such as the new Control ring and M-Fn Bar, and offers tangible upgrades to existing EF and EF-S lenses.

Great control customisation; Dual Pixel AF with 5,655 AF positions; Fully articulating screen

No in-body image stabilisation; Cropped 4K video; Single SD card slot

The Canon EOS R isn't just a mirrorless version of the 5D Mark IV DSLR. Nope, this full-frame mirrorless is a major turning point for Canon, embodying both risk and reward in one very capable and commendable product.

Full-frame sensor and new lens line-up delivers superb quality potential; Loads of customisation options; Intuitive touch controls and M-Fn Bar has potential; Finally a Canon mirrorless with impressive autofocus options; Can focus in very low-light conditions

Lenses really aren't small; Just one SD card slot; It's rather pricey; Learning curve for DSLR users: various settings hidden/require scrolling; Autofocus could be more precise in some situations

If you're in the market for a 5D Mk IV, but dont want to pay the premium pro price, this is your camera. Fully compatible with the entire (amazing) range of Canon EF lenses plus the stunning new RF native lenses, this camera is versatile, modern and truly worth the price.

In the Canon EOS R, we are looking at the future and I like what I see. In addition to being packed full of the latest technology and features, the EOS R comes with a new lens mount, the first new Canon full frame lens mount in over 30 years.

It has been a long time coming, but Canon finally has a full-frame mirrorless camera to its name. Michael Topham reveals if its been worth the wait

The title says I switched to the EOS-R “for this”. Well, what is “this”? THIS is a mirrorless camera that I really enjoy. THIS is color that I prefer over other cameras and THIS is about the lenses as well, that are unique, and beautiful in build and performance.

If you are looking for an easy to operate full-frame camera, then we suggest that you give this one careful consideration. It comes from a well-known brand and has established itself in terms of reliability and weather resistance.

Quite light and easy to hold; Supports WiFi connectivity and transfer; Comes with a simple and easy to navigate menu; Shutter keeps the sensor safe when the lens is off; Features a quality built that is completely weather-resistant

Lacks dual SD cards; Face and eye detection needs improvement

A good first attempt, but it doesn’t blow us away - Canon will need to up its game for the next iteration of the R series

Great image quality; Fully articulating screen; Custom controls

Single SD card slot; High price; No in-body IS
