Canon EOS R Review | Trusted Reviews

 

Canon has finally joined the mirrorless full-frame party with the pro-friendly EOS R. But does it do enough to take the limelight from Nikon and Sony?

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

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

Canon EOS R review

 

We take Canon's latest full-frame powerhouse for a spin

Great handling ; Excellent AF performance ; Lovely touchscreen ; Top-plate LCD is very versatile ; Decent electronic viewfinder

No great size advantage over an EOS DSLR ; Value of M-Fn control debatable ; No AF joystick ; 4K video limitations ; Single SD card slot

The Canon EOS R is a very capable camera, and should satisfy many EOS DSLR owners looking for a solid mirrorless alternative. If we weren't bound by a system, however, it would be hard to pick the EOS R over its rivals, especially when you consider the...

Canon EOS R review: A new era for full-frame mirrorless

 

Canon's full-frame mirrorless camera comes with a new lens mount and a stack of features. Does it represent the future, or spell imminent failure?

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...

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

This full-frame mirrorless camera is a major turning point for Canon, embodying both risk and reward in one very capable and commendable product.

Canon EOS R review

 

Canon have taken a seat at the full-frame mirrorless table

Great image quality ; Fully articulating screen ; Custom controls

Single SD card slot ; High price ; No in-body IS

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

Review: The Canon EOS R is not what we expected

 

The EOS R isn't what I expected Canon's inaugural mirrorless full-frame camera to be. I thought it would produce a miniaturized 5D Mark IV, but instead it seems to have made an advanced EOS M.

Brilliant OLED viewfinder;Excellent image quality with vibrant colors;Trustworthy Dual Pixel AF

Works more like a consumer body;Slow frames per second with AF-C;Lacks in-body image stabilization;4K video shoots with a 1.8x crop

Canon EOS R Review

 

John Riley reviews the new Canon EOS R, Canon's full-frame 30mp mirrorless camera, with new RF mount.

The Canon EOS R is a great camera with a great lens, capable of delivering excellent image quality. There are minor operational, and design quirks that will make the camera feel awkward compared to a DSLR such as the 5D Mark IV, but for the most part...
