Canon - EOS R Mirrorless 4K Video Camera with RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM Lens - Black

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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