Canon EOS R sets the standard for the smaller, lighter full-frame camera of tomorrow. Inside its customisable magnesium alloy body are new levels of EOS performance.
With a high-speed and wide lens mount, Canon EOS R is an interchangeable lens camera that’s compatible with the new era of RF lenses which have been designed to work at the optimum distance from a full-frame sensor. This combination of high performance optics and a pioneering lens mount form a truly creative camera that pushes forward the frontiers of photography and filmmaking.
The Canon EOS R boasts a full-frame 30.3 Megapixel Dual Pixel CMOS AF sensor which focuses without compromise thanks to its advanced phase detection system, DIGIC 8 processing and in-camera Digital Lens Optimizer.
For photographers and filmmakers who already own a range of EF and EF-S lenses, the Canon EOS R offers full compatibility via an adapter with no loss of performance or quality. Canon’s Speedlite flash range offers flexible and creative lighting possibilities while EOS accessories open the door to greater creativity.
Canon EOS R has the same comfortable handgrip found on EOS DSLRs and coupled with a high degree of customisation. Innovations such as a multi-function touch bar, a high resolution electronic viewfinder and Vari-angle screen, makes it a camera designed to perform effortlessly and intuitively.
The Canon EOS R has been designed for photographers and filmmakers on the move. Always-on low energy Bluetooth allows a smartphone to be paired and built-in Wi-Fi allows instant share to cloud services. For additional creative capture, remote shooting and tethering offers even greater freedom.
Filmmakers will love Canon EOS R just as much as stills photographers. Thanks to advanced levels of control, it’s a highly accomplished filmmaking tool.
