What We Love. Brewed up with a blend of 5D Mark IV goodies and forged into a smaller package that costs only a few hundred dollars more than a 6D Mark II or Sony A7 III, the Canon EOS R produces excellent, high-resolution images and features some of the best ergonomics of all the current full-frame...

Excellent image quality; A lot of 5D Mark IV parts in a $2,300 body; Terrific ergonomics & menus; Easy to customize (especially with the control ring; Dual-Pixel CMOS AF; Vari-angle display flexibility; External 10-bit video recording with C-log; STUNNING RF LENSES

Heavily cropped 4K video (Almost Micro FourThirds; No 1080p 120fps slow motion; Less dynamic range than Sony & Nikon; Missing dual card slots; Lacks IBIS; EyeAF & AF-C need improvement; Multi-function bar is a fun idea; but doesn't quite work

Overall, Canon's EOS R camera is a fine bit of gear that is very pleasant to use and delivers excellent image and video quality. It has a sensible, well-designed user interface that is straightforward to operate and provides plenty of customisation options.

The Canon 6D was my first grown-up camera, back in 2013. I loved how Canon's colours looked like the best version of reality, and how sharp its glass was, and the 6D was the most affordable way to get into full-frame photography.

Strong as it is in some areas, I can't help but see the EOS R as a lost opportunity for Canon. The company has a well-deserved reputation for pioneering large-sensor DSLR video, yet its first full-frame mirrorless camera falls down against rivals in that area.

Wide choice of adapters for Canon DSLR lenses; Accurate Dual Pixel autofocus; Excellent image quality; Fully articulating touchscreen; Bulletproof body and big grip

4K video crippled by 1.8x crop and max 30 fps; No in-body stabilization; Wonky touchpad instead of joystick; Single UHS II card slot

This camera is spectacular. Reading the reviews I was a little skeptical and some problems like the crop in 4K are definitely not ideal. That said I have zero regrets with this purchase. Picture and video quality are absolutely phenomenal even _with_ a crop sensor lens (EF-S, Sigma DC).

(1) Overall faster performance than my 5DMIV (2) Very good implementation of EVF - sharp, bright, realistic (3) IS lenses perform much better here than in both my 5DMIV and M6 (4) Superb ergonomics; perfect for all-day shoot when mated with the EF35mm f/2 IS USM and solid for all-around photograhy...

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.

It’s clear that the Canon EOS R is a very capable camera. In the right hands, it captures plenty of detail with good exposure and attractive colours. And while it’s AF system isn’t the best (nor the worst) at tracking fast-moving subjects, it focuses with confidence in low light conditions.

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

I was lucky enough to be one of the first to give this insane camera a try. As a long time Canon user, it literally blew my mind. An amazing edition to any set up, my favourite features were the control ring which you can use to adjust aperture and shutter speed quickly, and the touch focus on the...
