It has been a long time coming, but Canon finally has a full-frame mirrorless camera to its name. Michael Topham reveals if its been worth the wait
The demand for smaller and lighter cameras continues to grow, and the Canon EOS R is one of the better compact cameras meeting that demand.
Don't be fooled by the light weight and diminutive size. This is a full-frame 30.3 Megapixel sensor, with top ISO performance and Dual Pixel CMOS AF. In other words, it offers big camera performance and results.
The EOS R is an interchangeable lens camera, which works beautifully with new generation RF lenses which have been developed to work at the optimum distance from a full-frame sensor.
The EOS R boasts a full-frame 30.3 Megapixel Dual Pixel CMOS AF sensor. What does that mean? Sharper stills...MUCH sharper! This is thanks to the advanced phase detection system, DIGIC 8 processing, and in-camera Digital Lens Optimizer.
In terms of the 4K 10-bit resolution video footage you'll capture, you'll have to see it to believe it. The EOS R System within this compact camera is HUGE on cinematic quality, and you won't believe what you can do at the touch of a button.
A smaller camera that's big on ease of operation; the EOS R achieves that through smart features like a multi-function touch bar, high resolution electronic viewfinder and vari-angle screen. Taking great shots has never been easier!

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.
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...
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
Perhaps it’s something to do with the fact that we’ve been waiting what feels like a heck of a long time for Canon to come up with the goods and produce a full-frame mirrorless, but we can’t help but be just a little underwhelmed by the Canon EOS R. While it produces excellent images, some aspects of the handling leave a little to be desired, and there’s nothing here that will really blow you away. Making the decision to go for a single, SD card slot is going to disappoint quite a few, while cropped 4K video is likely to put off videographers. Overall, the EOS R feels a little bit like proof that Canon is listening and working to produce mirrorless models. It seems likely that a more advanced model is in the works for professionals, while perhaps something cheaper and more basic will also be released along the line too - for now the EOS R occupies a sort of no-mans-land. It’ll be interesting to see how many Canon users jump ship to this, and whether it can claw any back from those who may have already bailed and gone to Sony - watch this space.

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.
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.
(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...
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).
