The two biggest names in photography—Canon and Nikon—sat on the sidelines and watched as Sony became the hottest player in the full frame mirror less world.

Canon EOS R: Its First FullFrame Mirrorless Camera

That changed in late summer, with both companies debuting new systems. We’ve already looked at the Nikon Z 7, which is a solid first effort for the company. The Canon EOS R isn’t as polished or as featured, but it does have one big advantage for Canon users: It works with your existing SLR accessories and with lenses via an inexpensive adapter. Despite offering a little bit more resolution, though, the EOS R is no threat to the Sony a7 III, our Editors’ Choice in this category.

CANON’S DESIGN CHOICES

The EOS R’s silhouette looks like a Canon—it has the gentle, sloping lines we’re used to seeing in the company’s industrial design, a contrast to the more angled feel of the Nikon Z 6. It’s a similar size to an entry-level SLR minus the extra space for the mirror box. The EOS R measures 3.9 by 5.3 by 3.3 inches (HWD) and weighs 1.5 pounds (without a lens attached). Canon states the EOS R is protected from dust and splashes.

The EOS R’s handgrip is very comfortable. It’s the first thing I noticed, and a big plus—but the EOS R falters in other ergonomic areas. For one, its power switch is on the top plate, to the left of the EVF and hot shoe. It’s a simple two-stage design and takes up a good amount of space that I’d prefer to see dedicated to a different control—a programmable dial, perhaps. Missing are any front control buttons; they can come in handy.

The front control dial sits perpendicular to the top of the handgrip, with the M-Fn button right next to it and the shutter release ahead. M-Fn brings up an on-screen menu to quickly adjust ISO, drive, auto focus, white balance, and flash power settings. The latter are only for an external Speedlite—the EOS R has no builtin flash, a feature absent from almost all modern full frame cameras.
