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.

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.

This camera is so light so that I can carry it every single day to anywhere I want.

I've been a Canon shooter for many years and have found their photography equipment to be of high quality, durable and reliable. Canon also has outstanding customer service and support. In addition to my recent purchases of two Canon EOS R bodies, I also have a 5D Mark IV, 7D Mark II and the holy trinity collection of Canon "L" lenses. In my opinion, the "R" has received a bad rap from supposedly professional reviewers, especially with Canon's recent firmware updates that have made significant improvements since the R's initial introduction. Pros: 1. The body feels so good in the hand, not too large and not to small. Just right! Lenses balance well on the body. 2. Image quality (stills) is outstanding and more than enough dynamic range to deal with highlights and shadows. 3. I'm probably biased, but I think Canon's color science is the best in the industry. 4. Fast and accurate auto focus especially with the recent 1.4 firmware update. Subject tracking and eye detection is excellent. 5. The EF/EF-S to R lens adapter allows you to use all of the EF/EF-S lenses with no loss in functionality. 6. The electronic viewfinder resolution is outstanding and the ability to see exactly what your image will look like before taking the shot is a game changer versus an optical viewfinder on a DSLR. 7. The articulating LCD screen is high resolution and allows you to get the shot at any difficult angle. 8. If you have the funds I also recommend the new Canon RF lenses. I also purchased the RF 24-105mm f/4L lens and it is outstanding and a great focal length for a walk-around lens. 9. The touch & drag function to move the focus point is much speedier than a joy stick and is easy to use. 10. Shooting in lowlight conditions is outstanding and very minimal noise in higher ISO ranges. Cons: 1. Some complain about only having a single card slot which I can understand if you're a paid photographer. However, if you need redundancy you can use wifi to easily send to your cell phone as you shoot. 2. Some have complained about the crop factor when using 4K video. I don't do video with my cameras so really not fair of me to comment. For the money, the Canon EOS R is a deal!!

Purchased the R and been shooting daily with it using the adapter with the EFS 10mm-18mm. This set up produces 12 megapixels when using the photos (will be purchasing a wide angle once they release a RF wide)See sample shots below, so far I love shooting with the R. The video quality is prime and the low light is phenomenal. Don’t think just get it, mirrorless is the future
