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 .
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!

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 .
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
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.
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
Overall, Canon's EOS R camera is a fine bit of gear that is very pleasant to use and delivers excellent image and video quality. It has a sensible, well-designed user interface that is straightforward to operate and provides plenty of customisation options.
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.
With a 30MP sensor, fantastic color reproduction and on-sensor autofocus, the EOS R can produce some beautiful photographs with pinpoint-accurate focus. But it's Canon's first mirrorless full-frame camera, and in many ways, it shows. The ergonomics feel unfinished, and for the same or less money, you can find better video, more dynamic range and faster burst speeds elsewhere. But we have to admit that Canon's new RF lenses are simply spectacular, and at this time, the EOS R is the only way to get to use them.
General and social photography, casual video shooters and those looking for either a backup body for their full-frame Canon glass or are looking at building up a collection of new RF lenses.;
Those looking to shoot sports or fast-moving subjects, those needing the absolute best image quality for either landscape or video work.;
Strong as it is in some areas, I can't help but see the EOS R as a lost opportunity for Canon. The company has a well-deserved reputation for pioneering large-sensor DSLR video, yet its first full-frame mirrorless camera falls down against rivals in that area.
Wide choice of adapters for Canon DSLR lenses; Accurate Dual Pixel autofocus; Excellent image quality; Fully articulating touchscreen; Bulletproof body and big grip
4K video crippled by 1.8x crop and max 30 fps; No in-body stabilization; Wonky touchpad instead of joystick; Single UHS II card slot
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).
(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...
