I am not saying it was terrible, but I could tell it wasn't real. While looking through the viewfinder, I could definitely tell I was looking at a screen. Of course, being able to create your own custom menu tabs is a big help as it is with other Canon cameras. The menu system is exactly what you would expect from Canon, and I had no difficulty moving from tab to tab and selecting the correct options. Also, the articulating screen will make this attractive for videographers, vloggers and landscape photographers. I found this to be a great "go-to" when I was having trouble with the manual buttons. The EOS R redeems much of what it lost with the odd positioning of its buttons with the use of a fully articulating touch screen. Photo showing the amazing fully articulating touch screen, but also the somewhat horrible disc shaped navigation control often found on cheaper Canon cameras. Canon really "cheaped" out here and I can't help but ask "Why?" It is very similar to how the Rebels operate. On this camera the "wheel" is really just a disc with arrows on it. Perhaps the biggest loss to me was the thumb wheel which is normally located on the back of the Canon bodies. If you are someone who has both a DSLR and want to guy the EOS R, you might find it difficult to switch back and forth. I do feel confident, that with daily use, I could get much faster in the basic operation. I particularly struggled to find the AF-ON button when using back button focus. I found them difficult to find and in some cases operate when compared to the 7D Mark II. The EOS R lost ground with me on layout of the buttons. The overall build quality seemed comparable to my 7D Mark II. Picking up the EOS R, I found it to feel smaller than my Canon EOS 7D Mark II, and I also found it slightly less comfortable, however, it does have a nice grip when comparing it to its other mirrorless competitors in this price range. Focus Modes - Continuous-Servo AF, Manual, Single Servo AF.Shutter - Electronic and mechanical (30 seconds to 1/8000).Sensor - CMOS 30.3 Megapixel / Full Frame.Lens Mount - Canon RF (EF with adapter).Although this camera is not marketed toward the wildlife or sports photographer, I still wanted to see just how far I could take this body, and what the results would be.Ĭanon's EOS R Mirrorless Camera (photo courtesy of Canon) As promised, I got my hands on an EOS R, and ran it through my normal wildlife photography testing. Of note, Canon has had several mirrorless cameras over the years, including the EOS M, but, although a fine camera, it lacked features that series photographers needed.Ĭanon's latest response to the growing mirrorless market is the Canon EOS R. Canon and Nikon could no longer sit back and watch companies like Sony and Fujifilm dominate the mirrorless market. It is no secret that the world of photography is moving away from the DSLR and toward Mirrorless.
