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.

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 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

When it launched in October 2018, we declared the Canon EOS R to be a "great success", despite some slight disappointment that it was closer to a mirrorless version of the Canon EOS 6D Mark II than the more advanced EOS 5D series.

Great image quality; Excellent EVF; Full-frame images in an APS-C like shell

No in-body stabilisation; Not the smallest full-frame CSC

This is a cracking debut on the mirrorless camera market for Canon. It won't be a camera for every professional out there – not enough body controls, frames per second and battery life – but for enthusiasts who simply want the very best image quality, it has to make the shortlist.

Fantastic image quality; Surprising wealth of video modes; Particularly impressive autofocus function

Innovative touch bar is less than innovative; Battery life is underwhelming

The new EOS R is Canon's first ever 35mm full frame mirrorless camera. The Canon EOS R has a 30.3 megapixel CMOS sensor, DIGIC 8 image processor, 4K UHD video recording in 10-bit 4:2:2, a touch-screen interface, 5,655-point Dual Pixel CMOS AF System that can focus as low as -6EV, ISO 50-102400, a...

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.

Canon's first full frame mirrorless camera, the EOS R, arrived on Photo Review's desk late on Friday 9 November, just over two months after it was announced. Positioned to compete with the still-to-be-released Nikon Z6 and the Sony α7 III, the EOS R offers 30.3-megapixel resolution and introduces a...

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...
