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!

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
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...
(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 is a cracking debut to the mirrorless camera market for Canon. It won't be a camera for every professional out there – not enough body controls, not enough frames per second and not enough battery life – but for enthusiasts who simply want the very best image quality it has to make the...
Fantastic image quality; Equally good video quality; Particularly impressive autofocus function
Innovative touch bar is less than innovative; Battery life is underwhelming
I have worked as a filmmaker for 11 years (www.mariusloland.no) and have always used Canon cameras. Among other things Cinema C100 and C200. The former used to film my first documentary for NRK: https://www.mariusloland.no/2017/03/30/mot-en-av-mine-minste-pa-nrk/ For the past six months I have used...
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
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
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
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.
