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

After nearly a decade of rumors, patents, and anticipation, Canon has laid its cards on the table, showing off its first full-frame mirrorless camera - the EOS R. When President and COO of Canon USA, Kazuto Ogawa, announced the Canon EOS R on stage at its event in early September, he shared an...

5D Mark IV sensor in a smaller body; Fantastic EVF; Lots of customization; Great autofocus; Works with older lenses via adapters

No in-body stabilization; Burst rate limited to 5 fps with continuous AF; Single SD card slot

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.

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 is a full-frame mirrorless camera that both impresses and disappoints. On the plus-side it delivers good-looking photos, has a promising new mount with two exotic lenses at launch, great video autofocus, and the best performance from adapted EF lenses on a mirrorless camera.

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.

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

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...

to keep this short the EOS R is the easiest, smoothest, and most satisfying camera I've ever had the pleasure of using. It is not a pro sports photography or a paramount level cinematography camera but it does everything effectively, efficiently, and has definitely exceeded my expectations in pre...

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
