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

Of all the major camera manufacturers, Canon is typically viewed as the most conservative and the most traditional. It's also been, arguably, the most successful.

Canon needs to do better. As it stands, the EOS R is no threat to the Sony a7 III, which is one of the most capable full-frame mirrorless cameras you can buy at any price. That it's $2,000 makes it a staggering value, and our Editors' Choice.

Proven 30MP full-frame sensor; Vari-angle touch LCD; Big, sharp EVF; 8fps continuous capture; Big shooting buffer; Broad lens compatibility via adapter; Unique native lenses

M-Fn bar tricky to use effectively; Uncomfortable rear dial; Omits focus joystick; No in-body stabilization system; Inconsistent metering; Single memory card slot; No PC sync socket; 4K video is heavily cropped

The war of the mirrorless camera has indeed started now with the introduction of the Canon EOS R camera hot on the heels of the Nikon Z7 .

1) I am a semi-pro. I sell enough work at shows and galleries around town to buy my gear, beer, and mad money. I do not consider myself a full pro as I do not make a living from photos. I shoot landscape, urban & former sports.

EVF Customizable buttons Touch AF!!! WYSIWYG Weather sealing; I've shot this in snow and rain the past month with 0 issues. Lens shutter when changing lens; This is well thought by C. R lens adapter works perfectly with all lens.

R lens are pricey currently; Give it some time and the SIgma's and Tamrons will release R compatible lens; My current fav lens is the Tamron 15-30 beast EVF and live menu drain the battery faster, but that is expected. Has yet to fill my car with gas

One caveat off the bat. A lot about how you feel about this camera, is likely going to depend on what camera you are coming from, or intend to upgrade to in the near future. Personally, I am an amateur hobbyist, Ive used Canons Rebel line (T2i and T6i) and was looking to upgrade to a better body...

A great first step for Canon towards the right direction. Worth the pickup with the mount adapter if you have other Canon lenses. It would probably be worth waiting to see what the future brings for the EOS R.

Easy and comfortable to grip

The Canon 6D was my first grown-up camera, back in 2013. I loved how Canon's colors 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.

AppleInsider has spent the last month testing out Canon's first full-frame mirrorless EOS R shooter to see how it stacks up in an ever-growing mirrorless market.

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
