Who the Canon EOS R is for

The Canon EOS R is a 30.3MP full-frame mirrorless camera, a versatile all-rounder.

Canon's first full-frame mirrorless camera and the debut of the RF mount, with a 30MP sensor.
Dual Pixel CMOS AF delivers smooth, reliable focus for stills and Full HD video.
A vari-angle touchscreen and the novel multi-function bar; 4K video is heavily cropped and it lacks IBIS.

Keep in mind

No in-body stabilisation — you'll lean on stabilised lenses for slow handheld shots.
Single card slot — no in-camera backup, which matters for critical paid jobs.
Video is capped at 29 minutes per clip.

What Full-Frame means in practice

A full-frame sensor at 30.3MP gives the shallowest depth of field of the three formats at any given framing and aperture, and the most sensor area to gather light with. That is the physical reason full-frame bodies tend to be the larger and heavier option: the lenses that cover the format have to be bigger too.

Video

4K tops out at 25p, which covers standard delivery but leaves no room for slowing footage down.
