Canon EOS R short review and what is the cost?

The Canon EOS R is your first full-frame mirrorless camera to utilize the new RF mount. It is constructed around the exact same 30 megapixel Dual Pixel CMOS detector since 2016's EOS 5D Mark IV however is designed for a fresh series of RF lenses. Canon says that the shorter RF lens mount will enable them to look better or more compact lenses whenever they can for the current EF bracket.


With the EOS R, you're, in essence, getting image and video quality from the 5D Mark IV at around the price point of the 6D Mark II having a healthy dose of control philosophy from both of these cameras as well as the EOS M series. Unfortunately, while it is capable of fantastic image quality, design and ergonomics are a mixed bag and the EOS R video capabilities lag behind the competition substantially

The EOS R has been announced less than two weeks after Nikon's Z7, which is Nikon's initial full-frame mirrorless camera and can also be designed around a brand new mount. Where Nikon creates a huge deal about how immediately familiar the Z7 is going to be to existing Nikon shooters, Canon is incorporating some more radical ergonomic innovations about the EOS R - it handles unlike any existing Canon camera. Let us take a better look at what precisely those innovations are and how they function. The Canon EOS R can be found at a price of approximately $2,299 (#2399 at the united kingdom including the EF mount adapter) or even $ 3,399 with the RF 24-105mm F4L IS lens (Number 3299 in the UK).


The EOS R might not have the most awe-inspiring spec sheet, but as the harbinger of Canon's new RF mount, it's a considerable camera nonetheless. Additionally, it supplies a exceptional packaging of attributes and capability inside Canon's lineup in addition to some unconventional control points.

RF Mount
Canon's new RF bracket retains the original 54mm diameter of the EF mount, also reduces the flange-back distance from 44mm to 20mm. Canon claims that, as we have heard from other manufacturers, this combo of'short and broad' in a lens bracket opens up new chances in regards to design lenses (especially with regard to quicker maximum apertures or wide angle choices ). The new mount also comes with a 12-pin link to allow for quicker communication between the camera and the lens.

Canon claims the new RF bracket was designed with durability in mind as well. The RF bracket should stand until the very same types of abuse which the EF bracket has for years. They have also said there is not any provision for mounting EF-M lenses to any RF-mount bodies.

Lenses
The new lens designs Canon's launched together with the EOS R have been signs of the potential advantages provided by the RF mount. The 28-70mm F2 L USM, 24-105mm F4 L IS USM, 50mm F1.2 L USM and 35mm F1.8 Macro IS STM are all impressive performers.


In designing each new RF lens, Canon states it believes a trio of variables: compact dimensions, improved optical performance, improved operational specifications. In creating the 28-70mm F2 L USM aimed toward more specialist users, Canon biased toward the latter two variables. With all the 35mm F1.8 Macro, a general objective lens, Canon leaned much more toward compactness. Since the lens system fills out, we hope to continue to understand a vast array of lenses to get a vast array of consumers and use-cases.

In other words, Canon isn't seeing a shift to full-frame mirrorless as solely a means of generating smaller general systems. It is more about what the system can offer regarding optics, features and operation, as well as fitting different mixtures to various users and uses.

M-Fn Bar
The M-Fn Bar is a completely new management stage for Canon cameras. It offers no visible feedback, however, permits for either swiping and / or tapping to control a set of functions that are customizable. We're not entirely sold on the concept, which is reminiscent of Apple's Touchbar, but many users might find it helpful. We'll enter the specifics of its functions and usage on the following page.

C-Raw
Debuting initial on Canon's lower-end EOS M50, the C-Raw format has made its way into the EOS R. The C-Raw documents are approximately 40% smaller than regular Canon Raw files, and you won't detect any degradation in quality till you push your documents by many stops. Unless you're doing absolutely crucial function, we would recommend leaving C-Raw enabled to save disk and memory card area.

Upgraded video
As you would expect in the camera published in 2018, the EOS R is now effective at capturing 4K video. Dig in, however, and you'll find it's not the most exciting implementation. It carries an unfortunate 1.83x harvest, making it tough to shoot wide-angle footage, and then tops out at 30fps with a few dramatic rolling paper artifacts. On the other hand, Double Pixel AF can be found through recording.

For those seeking to bring the EOS R into some higher-end video set up, it may output 10-bit 4:2:2 C-Log footage over HDMI. You can also catch C-Log footage internally, however with 8-bit 4:2:0 documents.
