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.

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.

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 .

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 EOS R is Canon's first attempt at a full-frame mirrorless camera, and its release heralds an exciting future for the company based around the new RF lens mount. As a stand-alone camera, the EOS R turns in a solid performance that can at times impress yet on aggregate it comes up short.

The Canon EOS R is a camera we've all been waiting to see for several years now. It's a full frame mirrorless camera with a 30.3MP sensor, 4K video capture, and an all-new lens mount. So how does this new camera and system handle the hype and anticipation that's been building for so long

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

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.

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.
