3/1/2024 0 Comments Canon eos r release date![]() The EOS R only debuted with four RF lenses, but today there are 35 proprietary Canon RF lenses to choose from. ![]() In my opinion, the best Canon RF lenses offer the top optical engineering of any brand, with ridiculous optical sharpness, gorgeous bokeh, and solid build quality. The cheaper Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM prime and the pro-grade Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM lens have both blown me away, proving that Canon can make exceptional RF lenses for all budgets. With my EOS R6, I also invested in new RF lenses. ![]() The EOS R system takes all the best bits from its beloved DSLRs – plus feedback from photographers – and squeezes them into a slimmer, neater package. While I love the retro vibe of cameras like the Nikon Z fc and the Fujifilm X-S20, I don't want to use them all day, every day, because they don't sit in my hand in the same way.ĭespite being the safe and dependable choice, Canon has always excelled when it comes to ease of use and ergonomics. I used the Sony A7 III for years, but could never fully get on with its lack of drive and focus mode dials (not to mention its fiddly menus).Īll premium mirrorless models will come with more advanced controls, but Canon knows how to make a comfortable camera. I shoot a myriad of different subjects – commercially, for fun, and for tech reviews – and I value a camera that has physical access to all of the main exposure controls. The deep and contoured grip is perfect (even for my partner's big hands) for long wedding days and the electronic viewfinder is so clear I sometimes think I'm still shooting on a DSLR. I've always hated the cumbersome weight of a tripod, and thanks to IBIS I no longer need one unless I'm shooting nightscapes or astrophotography.Ĭomfortable isn't exactly a sexy way to describe a bit of tech, but that's what handling the EOS R6 feels like to me. ![]() What's more, the 5-axis in-body image stabilization (IBIS) on my EOS R6 means that my video footage is stable without a gimbal, even in low light. 4K UHD shooting at up to 60p has been a game-changer for capturing events, especially with the stunning Eye/Face/Body/Animal detection autofocus I've raved about above. When I upgraded to the EOS R6, however, I had a true hybrid camera equally adept at shooting stills and video. Its successor (and final model in the EOS 5D series) the 5D Mark IV was more of a match, with both cameras able to record in 4K up to 30fps but still limited by a 1.74x crop factor. My previous Canon 5D Mark III paved the way for DSLR filmmaking, but its video specs were outdated by the time the EOS R came out. The EOS R6 offers almost 100 percent frame coverage and can be in zones, spots, or areas – with options for animals, people, vehicles and more. I've come close to the prowess of the EOS R system with the Fujifilm X-H2S, and the Sony A7R IV is fantastic, but neither was reliable enough to convince me to swap, nor were the AF controls as intuitive.Ĭanon's EOS R menus are super easy to navigate, particularly when it comes to autofocus. Yes, other mirrorless cameras can offer exceptional autofocus. Whether I'm photographing my dog running, birds in flight, or a bride and groom through crowds at a wedding, the focus locks on rapidly and pick up the subject's eyes. I'm continually blown away by the tracking abilities of the EOS R6. The result? Blazingly fast AF for a full-frame mirrorless camera. The EOS R mount has 12 contacts over the EF mount's 8, giving lenses more power and enabling faster communication between body and optic. Exceptional autofocusįor many, Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF – a rapid autofocus system that can track people, pets, cars, and more – was the star reason to upgrade to the EOS R system. Here are five reasons why I upgraded – and five ways that the EOS R system has earned the adoration and respect not just of me, but of amateur and pro photographers the world over. As the Canon EOS R system is five years old, let's celebrate that milestone.
