Canon EOS R
The Canon EOS R is the first full-frame mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera (MILC) produced by Canon. It was announced days after Nikon's first full-frame MILC, the Nikon Z7, and five years after Sony's first, and was released in October 2018. The camera is the first of Canon's new EOS R system, and the first to use the RF lens mount. The "R" stands for "Reimagine optical excellence".
The EOS R features a 30.3 megapixel CMOS sensor, an OLED viewfinder and an articulating LCD touchscreen. Autofocus uses dual-pixel technology, and "Eye Detection AF" automatically focuses on human faces within the scene. The mechanical shutter can capture still images at up to eight frames per second, and cropped-sensor 4K video capture is supported at 30 fps. The EOS R uniquely offers a "Multi-function Bar", a configurable touch-sensitive strip. The EOS R also introduced the "Flexible Priority Exposure" ("Fv") mode. Adapters are available to allow mounting of older lenses which require the EF lens mount. Canon also released an astrophotography variant named EOS Ra, which uses a modified IR cut-off filter to allow more H-alpha light to be captured, and offers stronger digital magnification, but is otherwise identical to the EOS R.
The Canon EOS R was received with mixed reviews, and compared unfavourably to the Nikon Z6 and the Sony α7 III, though there was praise for the EOS R's autofocus and image quality, and for the RF lenses launched with it. The Multi-function Bar was roundly dismissed by critics as a failure. The EOS R was later unofficially discontinued and listed as "no longer in production" on the official Canon site.
The Canon EOS R was announced 5 September 2018 and released 9 October 2018. It was the first of Canon's "EOS R System" of mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras, and it was the first camera to use Canon's RF lens mount.
Canon announced the EOS R a few days after rival Nikon announced their first full-frame mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera, the Nikon Z7. Rival Sony had been in the full-frame mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera market for nearly five years by this time.
The "R" in EOS R comes from the first letter of "Reimagine optical excellence", Canon's development concept for both the EOS R system as a whole, and also for this EOS R camera which launched the new system.
The EOS R is Canon's first full-frame mirrorless camera. It introduced the new EOS R system and the RF lens mount. Using an EF-EOS R mount adapter, the EOS R can accept all Canon EF and EF-S lenses. The camera uses the DIGIC 8 processor.
The Canon EOS R uses a full-frame (36 × 24 mm) CMOS sensor with 30.3 "effective megapixels". It can produce a still image of up to 6720 × 4480 pixels (giving 30.1 megapixels in the generated image file). ISO sensitivity can be set to values between 100 and 40,000 by default, but the EOS R can be configured to expand the permitted range down to 50 and up to 51,200 or even 102,400. The sensor is able to achieve a dynamic range of 13.5EV at ISO 50. This dynamic range is considered good, but lower than its competitors, such as the Nikon Z7, which can achieve a dynamic range of 14.6EV at ISO 32. The Nikon Z7 was announced several weeks before the EOS R.
