I don’t get tactile feedback on the M-fn button/panel and I could never get used to the menu option of the mode dial. My opinion on manual buttons and switches is that I want tactile feedback of what I’m doing. The mode dial that brings up a sub-menu of modes on the camera’s LCD was a turn off for me. Some of the new functions are a matter of taste though. It’s definitely a step-down in size from the 5D line of DSLRs but I consider that a good thing. Overall, I like the handling and grip of the EOS R. That’s no reason to not buy the EOS R.Ĭanon EOS R Sample Image with 50mm f/1.2L at ISO 100 and f/1.2 If you’ve got a bag of EF lenses that you are worried about functioning on the EOS R, stop worrying. While I’m sure there are lenses that don’t well (or maybe at all), I have to hand it to Canon for working through the compatibility for older lenses. Sharp, fast, and consistent AF with everything I threw at it. even an old Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 from 2005 that’s still in my bag. Additionally, I used the EOS R with several third-party lenses. When Canon first announced the EOS R, I questioned the rather bold use of the term “uninhibited.” However, after using a variety of EF lenses with the Basic EF adapter on the EOS, I have to admit that I couldn’t discern a difference in ordinary use. The RF mount also provides faster and more in-depth communication between the camera and lens thanks to the new 12-pin communication system.Ĭanon says the EOS R offers “uninhibited compatibility with all existing EF, EF-S, TS-E and MP-E lenses through the use of mount adapters.” There are three adapters possible for using EF lenses on the EOS R – the Basic EF Adapter for $100 the Control Ring Adapter for $200 or the Drop-in Filter Adapter for $400. The Canon EOS R is built around a 30.3MP full-frame sensor and uses the new RF mount, which provides a shorter flange distance and results in larger rear lens elements to produce an image on the full-frame sensor.

Unfortunately, that’s not where Canon slated this first full-frame mirrorless outing. In reviewing the Canon EOS R, it’s important to consider where it fits Canon’s new RF mount ecosystem, as well as relative to its EF mount counterparts. The hype, anticipation, and sentiment all wanted the Canon EOS R to be a mirrorless version of the Canon EOS 5D product line. So how does this new camera and system handle the hype and anticipation that’s been building for so long? It’s a full frame mirrorless camera with a 30.3MP sensor, 4K video capture, and an all-new lens mount. The Canon EOS R is a camera we’ve all been waiting to see for several years now.
