Canon has FINALLY released a full frame mirrorless camera – the Canon EOS R. They have also launched a new lens mount – the RF. While many people advocated for Canon to retain the EF mount, early development for the platform shows that the RF mount may be the most exciting component thus far, with both better and also more unique lenses either launching or in development for the platform. There are things I love about the EOS R (fantastic fully articulating touchscreen, great grip, new control ring on lenses), but also a few missing pieces (no in-body-image-stabilization and burst rate is unimpressive). The camera shows great potential for focus, however, with incredibly fast focus speeds with the new RF 24-105mm f/4L IS. The new 24-105L kit lens is a clear improvement over previous 24-105mm lenses, and the EOS R also focuses very quickly and naturally with adapted EF mount lenses. I’ll be covering the system in detail, but you can satisfy early interest by checking out the video clips and photos that I’ll be sharing over the course of my review.
