This is my first full frame mirrorless camera. I’ve been using crop sensor DSLRs forever (all Canon) and I decided to finally make the switch. This camera definitely has some weight to it, however, it feels incredibly sturdy. I do a lot of outdoor photography, sometimes in very harsh conditions, and I feel like this camera can take a beating. I went hiking in Alaska for several days with this camera clipped to the front of my chest on my backpack strap (Peak Design capture clip). When the camera was clipped on me, I didn’t notice the weight of the camera/lens whatsoever. The photo quality, function and ease of use is flawless, as you’d expect from Canon. I would definitely recommend this over the Canon EOS RP. It’s just all around nicer. If you’re going to invest in a full frame mirrorless camera, don’t skimp. I purchased this camera mainly for astrophotography and I’m glad I chose this camera over the Canon EOS RA (Canon’s dedicated astrophotography camera). The EOS R handles astrophotography very well and it’s nice that it can be used for daylight photography too, unlike the RA. Hiking a great distance for several days straight with two cameras (one for daylight, one dedicated to astrophotography) would have been too cumbersome. This camera is a perfect combination of both in one. I definitely recommend this camera as an all-in-one for adventure seeking photographers. Don’t count the EOS R out for astrophotography, it’s telescope mountable! The only sign of struggle I saw was when I was shooting in -12 Fahrenheit weather. I had plenty of protection on the camera and I had hand warmers adhered directly to the body and battery enclosure, but the amount of time it took the camera to process an image was almost triple. (Despite my efforts to keep this baby warm!) That’s to be expected though when you’re intermittently photographing in the Arctic Circle with this type of camera. It probably would have performed better in extreme cold if I was shooting continuously. Temp 0 and above the processing time was very fast. Overall, this camera performed better than I expected.

The EOS R has been on my wish list for quite sometime and I finally got it Now I can further my path in photography and videography especially the 4K and the slomo Is great I love it the EOS R is great and the price is pretty reasonable just wish I had a scroll wheel but it’s a great camera and for those people who still wanna hold onto their sigma lens 18-35 it’s perfect once you have the adapter and the 4K crop makes it perfect but still get a few full frame canon lenses if you can.

I have been using it for over 6 months and am loving it for fast auto focus good for action and wild life photos. The combination of full frame CMOS and 30.3 megapixel is extremely helpful in cropping and photo print in large size.

Best camera ever, it has a great sensor and it’s been my ace since I started freelancing

Excellent camera with stunning images. Great deal for someone who wants a real camera that they aren't likely to outgrow.

I have owned many high performance cameras starting in 1970 with the Canon FT, a 35 mm film camera and I have a large collection of Canon FL, EF, EFS, and RF lenses as well as special T-mount lenses. I am in the process of buying adapters for all of those older lenses for my new Canon EOS R digital camera. The combination of those lenses, my filter collection and my Meade LX200GPS 200 mm F/10 catadioptric telescope and my Skywatcher 900 mm, F/9 ED refractor telescope will give me an incredible range of objects to photograph. The camera has an unbelievable number of features for focusing, exposure, etc. The full frame CMOS imager with 30.3 Mpixels was the final feature that sealed the deal!

I was a bit worried with the R5 and R6 releasing that buying this would be a mistake but I absolutely love this camera and I don’t regret buying this 1 bit! The RF glass is beyond comparison. Don’t worry about buying the R5 and R6 if it’s out of your budget; this camera speaks for itself and it’s still outperforms!

Really great camera. I am a beginner at photography. Just decided this would be a good one based on reviews online.

Great buy, Very sharp photos. I would recommend this Camera to anyone. It's super easy to use and very reliable.

Love it everything i want in mirrorless camera 30.3 megapixels R5 to exspensive

I switched from DSLR. I love them both honestly but this one is a great buy!

This is Canon’s initial entry into the Mirrorless Camera space - And boy, what an entry! I use this camera as a backup to my R5. When filming interviews, my R5 is the main camera with the 24-70mm mounted while the R is “Camera B” capturing a secondary angle of the subject with the 70-200mm mounted. The 4K footage out of the Eos R hold its own against the much more expensive R5 and when spliced together in post, the transition between shots is seamless. The photo capabilities of the R are fantastic as well. The lower pixel count of the R vs the R5 actually allows the R to perform incredibly in low light settings. If your looking to upgrade to mirrorless from DSLR, the Canon EOS R is a great option.

Great Camera! Bought it as soon as they dropped it and have been CRUSHING it since. Still holds its own 5 years later

I love it . I think this the best camera on reasonable price. Light weight and easy to use my small sister can use it for her school stuff. And function is great.

This camera is perfect for stills. Light body and very user friendly! I recommend this camera to anyone that does it all. Photography and video. It has it all for a very great price!

Amateur photographer, just bought this to take pics of my children. I upgraded from a Rebel and my goodness the difference in interface is insane, not knowing anything about photography I can tell you this camera has a lot of options and settings that I don’t know what they’re for. The rebel is years ahead in terms of user friendliness, I got the rf nifty fifty after getting the rf to ef adapter and using the ef nifty, all I can say it’s a big upgrade from iPhone 6 pictures. I recommend it to anyone who uses they’re iPhone as main camera I’m not a pro so I don’t know if it has good features all I know if the pics are amazing on automatic setting.

First camera i have ever purchased. Amazing photos as well ease of use. If youre on the go and want to quickly review a picture on a bigger screen just use the wifi features the camera has and send the pictures quicky. Water tight as well, was out on a frozen river near glaciers and fell through with the camera. Surprisingly the camera didnt get any water damage, it was off when i fell through

Buttons/dials are not as intuitive and user friendly as other Canon models, but the autofocus and image quality are superb. It's wicked fast, EVF and touchscreen are sharp and great at giving you a preview of the image you'll take. Lightweight. The adapter ring for EF lenses seems to work really well but I did have some trouble with autofocus on EF lenses in lower lighting compared to the RF zoom kit lens. So far very happy with this camera.

The quality of this camera is amazing it is so crisp and clean the auto focus works super well love the feel and the weight of the camera isn’t to bad either the touchscreen works phenomenally definitely recommend

This is an outstanding camera! Especially at closeout pricing! Very close to professional caliber at less than $1000 on discount! The image quality is outstanding! I purchased the additional adapter for my EF lenses, and it works great!
