With Sony putting a hurting on the OGs in the camera market w/ their smaller full-frame mirrorless cameras, now its the OGs turn to show & prove. Nikon announced theirs last week and now we have Canon’s full-frame mirrorless camera. Meet the EOS R camera system & new RF lenses.
The EOS R is equipped w/ everything you would want from Canon. You got a dust-water-resistant magnesium body, a 30.3MP full-frame sensor, ISO from 100-40,000, 8fps continuous shooting, Canon’s DualPixel auto-focus, utilizing their Digic 8 Image processor, OLED electronic viewfinder, 3inch touchscreen LCD display that swivels all the way out, extra info LCD panel on top, customizable touch bar near the shutter button to adjust settings on the fly, records 4K video @30fps, can record 10-bit 4K via HDMI out, 1080p video @60fps, headphone jack, microphone jack, and can charge via USB-C. Like I said, everything you would want from Canon – for the most part.
The new RF lenses that work w/ the R-line are an f/4. 24-105mm L, f/1.2 50mm L, f/2 28-70mm L, and a f/1.8 35mm macro. All lenses offer a dedicated control ring, dials for zooming, manual focus, aperture, etc all from the lens itself. The adapters for the R-line will be available at launch as well.
The EOS R camera is due out sometime in late October as pre-orders kick off next week on September 12th. The camera body alone will cost you $2,300 or you can grab it w/ the 24-105mm lens for $3,400.
Is this the newer Canon camera you’ve been waiting for? And who’s gonna reserve one?
