Canon - EOS R Mirrorless 4K Video Camera (Body Only)

I shot Nikon cameras for years, and was a loyal fan to the brand, refusing to buy another brand, when mirrorless came out big I decided to move to it, I used the 3 major brands Canon, Nikon and Sony, the first that I drop was the Sony (a7iii) awful camera to hold, nasty menus and the colors no bueno, then I had to decide between Z6 and Eos R, I was bias so I got the Nikon, really good camera, use it for over a year, then I realized that Nikon is barely moving they way behind and everybody is up dating and moving forward with the platform and Nikon keeps delaying and stuck, Im not fan of adapting lenses, it's a pain specially for event shooters, then I start noticing that lots of creators on YouTube were moving back to Canon and praising the how God the camera had gotten, I rented the EOS R for one week, boom, I sold my Nikon gear and bought into the EOS R... I. In love with the camera, handling, colors and overall experience no wonder why Canon has so many users, for now I'm a happy camper, Nikon is good but it's future its uncertain, can't risk and invest all this money on a system that it might be here or it might not, the specs of the EOS R are pretty disappointing but it's actual Performace and quality specially the lenses are top notch, you don't know what to get? Get a Canon thank me later.

I've been wanting to upgrade to the Canon R line since they announced it and finally have. The R is nothing short of spectacular. This rig is super light, boasts a 30.3 megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor, has an ISO range of 40,000 (!!), a dual pixel CMOS AF system, can shoot up to 4K 30P and 10-bit movie footage in ITU-R BT.2020 color when Canon Log setting is activated. Not to mention that I can still use most of my old canon stuff; filters, batteries, hotshoe, etc. The only thing I did need to purchase was the lens converter, RF to EF, which was only $100 and lets you use the entire EF line of canon lenses. To say less, this canon packs quite the punch. I would highly recommend for anyone in, or outside, of the canon family looking for that next upgrade.

I got this camera as an upgrade from my Canon Rebel T3i, and can I just say that the difference is night and day. I paired this with the RF 85mm f/2 Lens, and it is a beautiful combo. If you are upgrading from an older camera, don’t worry about the people saying it is slow, it won’t feel slow in comparison. Included are a few photos taken with the R + the RF 85mm lens

Waited to write review until I had it a little while. I was so concerned about buying the R knowing the R6 had been released. I’m thrilled I purchased it! It is a beast. Definitely worth the purchase! Now to grab some RF glass! Don’t worry about the R not being the latest! The specs speak for themselves! Uploaded Portrait taken with EOS R!

It's certainly not the best mirrorless Canon has to offer, but it's about $1k cheaper than the R6 and $2k cheaper than the R5. At 30 mpx it has great resolution. Low light performance is very good. I have no problem shooting at 6400 ISO and 12800 looks good in many situations too. 5 fps in servo mode isn't stellar, but I'm not a pro shooting sports or birds in flight all day long. I'm using it mainly for wildlife with adapted stabilized lenses. Outstanding results. The lenses perform better adapted than they did on my 6D II. All in all, this is a great way to get onto the Canon full frame mirrorless platform. No regrets whatsoever. However, I don't care that much about video, so there's that.

To start with the overall experience using Canon EOS R 30.3 Mega Pixel full-frame Camera! (Except 4K crop, which I felt negligible) is good! It may Not be always possible to met all requirements in a single product all times! Missing needs! - Has only one slot for SD memory card (Having dual slot helps as a backup, at times) - The performance of the new touch slider may not be quiet effective in controlling ISO, or other parameters, due to its ineffective unlocking trick!

From extreme macro (MP-E 65mm) to extreme telephoto (800 to 6,000mm) this body is a fabulously capable body. Dynamic range on the detector is more than adequate for pushing the limits of existing/ambient lighting. Very please with this system.

I am an existing Canon user that bought this full frame body to practice more landscape and nature photography. Have initially been putting the EOS R through it's paces with some wildlife photography. Really like the image quality from this sensor. My existing Canon lenses (primarily Canon 100-400mm II) work flawlessly with this body and EF adaptor. Much better high ISO noise performance than my 7D ii. The silent mode is great for close shooting of wildlife. However quick moving subject may be distorted on silent mode. Wish the electronic view finder "woke back up" more quickly when needing to quickly frame a shot. Overall I am happy with this body and am interested to see where Canon goes with their frameless line.
