Great handling, Excellent AF performance, Lovely touchscreen, Top-plate LCD is very versatile, Decent electronic viewfinder
No great size advantage over an EOS DSLR, Value of M-Fn control debatable, No AF joystick, 4K video limitations, Single SD card slot
The Canon EOS R is a very capable camera, and should satisfy many EOS DSLR owners looking for a solid mirrorless alternative. If we weren't bound by a system, however, it would be hard to pick the EOS R over its rivals, especially when you consider the pr...
If, like us, you've been waiting for the perfect combination of stabilization and fast aperture, then yes. This isn't necessarily the best buy for every photographer — it's hard to argue with the $1,200 Sigma — but it does offer a unique combination of fe...

Lenses really aren't small, One SD card slot, It's rather pricey, Limited lens range/can't buy without the EF adapter bundled in the box, Learning curve for DSLR users: various settings hidden/require scrolling, Autofocus could be more precise in some sit
The Canon EOS R isn't just a mirrorless version of the 5D Mark IV DSLR. Nope, this full-frame mirrorless is a major turning point for Canon, embodying both risk and reward in one very capable and commendable product.The ability to focus in near darkness...
