Overall, autofocus performance is said to be impressive, even at the highest burst speeds. The 30MP sensor offers good dynamic range and low-light performance, coupled with the latest Digic 8 processor. However, there is only one memory card slot in SDXC format, UHS-II compatible, which is a format a little more popular than the XQD of Nikon Z6/Z7. Regarding connections, we find a USB-C input, an HDMI Mini Type C output, a mini-jack microphone input, a headphone jack and a remote control jack. Among the main features: an ISO sensitivity that extends from 100 to 40,000iso (102,400 in extended), 5655 focusing points, bursts in raw up to 8fps, and 4K video at 25fps and Full HD at 60fps. It is built around the same 30-megapixel Dual Pixel CMOS sensor as the 2016 EOS 5D Mark IV but designed for the new RF lens series. The Canon EOS R was the first full frame mirrorless camera using the new RF mount. We wrote a similar comprehensive guide to help you in your choices! If you’re interested in what other brands have to offer, you can check out all Sony mirrorless cameras.

This probably puts an end to the EF-M mount and the interest in choosing these APS-C mirrorless instead of those using the Canon RF mount. I break down their cameras and would include in the future any others that Canon may release. Unfortunately (if you can say!), in June 2022, Canon decided to release their first APS-C Canon cameras using the RF mount, the same as Canon’s full frame mirrorless cameras. If you have a smaller budget and want a lighter/smaller camera, don’t hesitate to look for a Canon APS-C mirrorless (EF-M mount). At the end of the article, I will try to guide you to choose one of these cameras according to your photographic and video needs, but also to your budget. With the new Canon lenses (RF), you will be able to use the whole Canon optical park, even if I would globally advise, if you choose a Canon full frame mirrorless camera, to stay on the ones dedicated to the RF mount.Īll of this is enough to make our mouths water! Let’s now have a closer look at the main technical features of each of these cameras. Worth noting that all the lenses of the EF and EF-S range for DSLR are compatible with the EOS R cameras thanks to an adapter ring.

Finally, in October 2021, Canon announces the arrival of the new Canon R3, the very top-of-the-line mirrorless camera! In November 2022, Canon released the second version of its famous full frame camera (Canon R6), the Canon R6 II. Canon makes no secret of the fact that they clearly echo the DSLR 6D series, even the 7D Mark II for the EOS R6, and the mythical saga of 5D for the EOS R5. The following year, Canon moves into the higher category with the arrival on the market of the EOS R6 and EOS R5 in August 2020, which are more considered as semi-pro. In December of the same year, Canon released the EOS Ra, a very specific camera designed for astrophotography. These two cameras are positioned somewhere between the amateur range for the RP and the expert range for the R. Firstly, the release of the Canon EOS R in September 2018, followed a few months later by the Canon EOS RP, in February 2019. The end of summer 2018 marks the long-awaited arrival of Canon in the full-frame mirrorless market. Even if the choice is quite limited for now (at the time I write this article), you’ll found several zoom or prime lenses from Canon and I’m pretty sure, Canon will work hard to produce new lenses soon.

By the way, I detailed there all interchangeable lenses (Canon and third-party brands) that would fit on any body presented in this article. And these Canon RF lenses are simply spectacular… We have already seen it in detail in the dedicated article about Canon RF lenses.

Within the EOS R system is Canon’s new RF optical mount, combining mechanical and electronic optical engineering. After the detailed review of full frame mirrorless cameras of the rival Nikon, I’ll now do in this article the review of Canon full frame mirrorless cameras.
