sent on November 14, 2024 Pros: Price, file quality, "Canon" colors, size and weight, rear display, top display Cons: Touch-bar, no wheel and joystick, no dual SD slot, viewfinder (see below) Opinion: Overall satisfied with the EOS R. My first mirrorless, I came from 6D mkII mainly photographing landscapes. On the "pros" I don't add anything else, while on the "cons" I insist on lame ergonomics, also considering what the competition offers. The absence of joystick and wheel is felt, not at all compensated by the touch-bar (which in fact has not been re-presented in other models). Viewfinder a bit difficult to use in certain situations due to light infiltration from the side, this makes the user experience sometimes frustrating, while the LCD screen behaves well. Note of merit for the presence of the upper display which actually comes in handy on various occasions (check settings, bulb timer etc). In the end I decided and I traded in with R6 mkII taking advantage of a super advantageous offer trying to exploit the value of the R again, not so much for AF improvements (which are extraordinary I would say) but for ergonomics. In summary, I am very satisfied with the R and I recommend it for landscape and portraiture (AF ok even eye-focus quite performing). For the video section I do not express myself as I have not used it particularly. |
sent on November 21, 2023 Pros: Ergonomics and ease of use, size, solidity, sensor Cons: The position of the AF trigger button Opinion: I've owned it for a few years now and for the kind of photos I take (mainly landscapes) it's more than excellent and at the moment it doesn't make me feel the lack of a more up-to-date camera body. The ergonomics and ease of use are outstanding, the dimensions are adequate, and the machine conveys a nice feeling of solidity. The 30MPX sensor returns well-detailed images with pleasant colors, also allowing any crops without particular sacrifices. If I really have to find a flaw, it's the position of the AF on button on the back: invariably, as soon as I hold it, my thumb falls on it, involuntarily activating the autofocus. |
sent on June 28, 2023 Pros: Ergonomics, sensor, dimensions, ease of use Cons: It made me want to take the R5 Opinion: For the type of photographer I am and the photos I take is an extraordinary camera, I used it on the last trip together with a 5D miv, well I always had this one in my hand. Technologically a step forward even if as a model and 'inferior, the light meter and the sensor seemed better than the 5D miv. The ease of use is another very positive feature that I have found. The biggest flaw is that it made me want to take the R5 (arrived, last Saturday). |
sent on June 22, 2023 Pros: Semi-tropicalization, ergonomics, display, quality/price, sensor Cons: lack of Joystik, lack of wheel Opinion: The buttons are all in the right place and are all customizable. The ergonomics is that Canon and contrary to what many claim, I find the touch bar convenient for the management of ISO, you just need to get used to it, after which it becomes well exploitable. The sensor is at the TOP, as well as the dynamic range, and you just have to be careful not to overexpose too much, while the recovery of shadows is more than satisfactory. I bought an original battery grip with 2 batteries and the autonomy is very good. The touch screen is very defined and responsive, and partly allows you to make up for the lack of the joystik. the Menu is what the Canonists know: intuitive and clean. With firmware 1.8 the AFC is almost flawless and even the eye tracking does not disappoint . the AFS, on the other hand, is just infallible (it focuses even in almost dark conditions). The autofocus module is essential and indeed, even too programmable. The colors and transients are beautiful, very well shaded and rich in detail. The 30MPX make it suitable for the landscape and allow a discreet crop. The ISO I recommend not to raise them to more than 1600 to maintain a good signal-to-noise ratio, but even at 8000-1000 ISO the image is well exploitable and discreetly recoverable in PP. For the use that I do, amateur, is perfect. And I don't feel the need for additional technology. This camera lacks sensor stabilization that has not yet caused me impediments in taking pictures even at night . Coupled to my RF 24-105 f / 4 still allows a stabilization of at least 5 stops if necessary. The burst does not allow great performance, but you can still shoot very fast by setting the AF tracking priority during the shot in order to increase the chances of being able to have the dynamic shot in focus. On the other hand, it is not a machine designed for dynamism, but allows you to take home the shot when it presents itself. It would have been really nice to have the wheel to manage the ISO, as in 6D . I consider video performance 'essential' for those who want to try a first approach, but not at the level of other Canon mirrorless |
sent on May 26, 2023 Pros: Great RAW files, compact and solid body, viewfinder, AF, articulated LCD, 30mpx, sensor cover curtain, ergonomics, good dynamic range, price(2023) Cons: For the use I make of it ... none, for the rest.... single slot, burst, video compartment, touch bar, no IBIS Opinion: We are obviously talking about a room from a few years ago, and today there is better on the market ... definitely, but for me as an amateur photographer, and I come from a 6D, and previously from 5D2, the jump was huge. I shoot mainly landscape and portraits, and I must say that in these areas I evaluate the R an excellent camera, sensor, AF (with latest firmware), EVF, ISO seal, ergonomics, menu, adjustable screen, feeling, and customization keys in pure Canon style. The dynamic range is more than satisfactory, the recovery margins on lights / shadows allow a good margin of work, I am not interested in 4stop recoveries to evaluate the quality of a sensor, a shot under / overexposed 4stop must be trashed ... Period, I leave the tests in this regard to laboratory mice. Downsides, of course the R is not stabilized, it only has a single memory slot, the burst is slow, the video compartment is not up to par... but I would like to break a spear in favor of the hated touchbar, I have set the ISO sensitivity and I must say that I find cmq very comfortable, of course ... a nice 5D4-style joystick would have been so much better. In conclusion, at the price that can be found today (2023) as long as you avoid specific photographic genres, sports, birds, action, mainly, can still give great images. I use it at the moment still with EF lenses via adapter and compatibility is perfect, as soon as possible I will try some native RF lens, cmq for now I am more than satisfied with the purchase, calculating that I was very skeptical about the transition to the ML world, after years of using the SLR ... |
sent on March 18, 2023 Pros: robustness, raw quality, AF Cons: missing second SD, missing joystick and wheel Opinion: I arrive from an old canon 5D and the technological leap is abysmal. AF, image quality at high ISO, burst, presence of live view, light meter have greatly simplified my life and minimized photos discarded due to exposure or focus problems, all with excellent image quality. I am satisfied from all points of view starting from the smaller footprint, passing through the impeccable construction, the excellent work that the light meter does, the burst however good and an extremely performing autofocus. I had some trouble adapting to the controls that have changed slightly compared to my old 5D but it's just a matter of habit. The adapter works perfectly and many lenses work better than on 5D, I would recommend it to those who have a Canon SLR and want to switch to mirrorless |
sent on January 11, 2023 Pros: Image quality, reliability, convenient customizable keys, sensor cover curtain Cons: Touch bar Opinion: Starting from the fact that to the eye it has a clean and pleasant line, from a sense of robustness in the hand without being bulky. I have been using this model for 4 years now and I must say that I have always had a great time. From the first trip I found a simplicity in shooting, from intuitive menus to customizable keys that speed up my process a lot. The camera has always shown me reliability, from autofocus to high iso, from quality to tropicalization I have never encountered problems and apart from very few photos, I have always been more than satisfied with the images captured. I also really like to have the small lcd on top with important information, which is missing in the R6. It is a camera that makes you make the leap in quality, especially if it is the first professional camera you have; It forces you to commit to developing your own particular photograph to give it credit for good shots. As negative points instead there is certainly the touch bar that I have now stopped using because I found it a disturbing element. After years I am still very happy with the purchase. |
sent on November 19, 2022 Pros: Robust, image quality Cons: Only one memory slot, the second ring (the rear one) is too hollow I struggle to rotate it naturally Opinion: The first Canon mirrorless that approaches the world of professionals, I have been using it for about 3 years and I have not had major problems. The resolution of the sensor for me is perfect, 30 megapixels are ideal neither few nor too many the right compromise considering also the management in post production and storage of files on digital media, in some cases if it is essential you can also crop the photo without losing too much resolution. The images produced are pleasant I did not notice dominants or obvious disturbances, I use it a lot for portraits combined with Sigma 85mm f1.4 ART with adapter, the images produced are always fully usable, perhaps sometimes you feel the lack of stabilizer with medium telephoto lenses like this but just do a little 'care use security times and there is no problem. The noise management at high iso is in line with the models I have tried and already have, for those who are obsessed by noise perhaps it is not ideal. Comparing it with the most recent models obviously it could be considered already obsolete especially for video (it has great shortcomings in fact), but for a photographic use not particularly demanding pernso is a machine to keep in mind considering also the price not excessive even in the used market. Big flaw for me is the absence of the double memory slot with a second slot would have been better, the second ring the rear one is too hollow is not very easy to use better the classic wheel that uses canon for years that has inserted again in the new models. |
sent on September 28, 2022 Pros: Robustness at least apparent, curtain cover sensor. Cons: everything else Opinion: In my compulsive madness and still being in possession of some canon EF lenses of excellence, I decided to take this R and try it. Ergonomically it is a difficult and uncomfortable machine: even for those who are used to Canon, with this R you do not get too excited. The touch bar is a flop that we were charged and it is useless: almost everyone disengages it and Canon has obviously disengaged it. I do not think we will hear again soon and I do not understand why they insist on playing with the controls of the machine avoiding the most obvious, such as direct AF points selector or power button that changes place to each model. At the sensor level there is little to be cheerful: noise even at low ISO, dynamic range not received (I use it constantly with 2/3 of under exposure), distorted Canon colors. I'm obviously talking about the Jpeg in the room that very often exhibits decidedly embarrassing color dominants. The white balance itself is rather bizarre and changes a lot even if you move the frame by a few millimeters. When he succeeds, it's fine, but... Burst (?) non-existent, many film winders did better (and it is also mirrorless ...), focus and automatic exposure are guaranteed up to about 3 ftg per second. The beauty is that the viewfinder has a pronounced lag so, if you add the non-existent burst to the delay of the viewfinder you find yourself practically in the almost impossibility of shooting at moving subjects, even slow, especially if erratic. The feature of being able to select the AF area through the touch screen would be valid if it were accurate and fast, but unfortunately it is not. Together with his partner Rp are two bodysuits that are placed completely outside of a possible system, given the limits and characteristics. Only the RF bayonet remains, but thinking of mounting new optics even if not always better than the old EF versions on this catafalque is an announced suicide. To sell they sell, but only because there is the inscription Canon above. Firmware updates have been few and very stingy. Definitely not recommended because it would make you HATE the ML world immediately. The functions attributable to the touch bar and buttons are the least useful and essential. Gigantic flop. |
sent on May 28, 2022 Pros: Crazy AF, not bad battery, sturdy body with keys in the right place. Great display! Cons: Single SD slot Opinion: Necessary premise: I am an amateur. I am not a professional, I am not a great expert; I'm just a fan looking for the "right" camera for what I do: portraits, a bit of street and memories of travel. I bought the EOS R in store, used guaranteed. I had an RP, fantastic camera but very "consumer". I must say it was the best purchase ever made. The autofocus is crazy, once it hooks the eye (and it can easily even in the dark, don't worry) it does not miss a beat. I can take a burst of 15 photos, with the subject moving, and the focus is always there, planted on the eye. The sensor is magnificent: 30mpx of pure detail. The EOS R is not afraid of the dark, the files up to 6400iso are very usable and the noise - even if present - is almost pleasant, especially passing the shot in b / w. The body is sturdy and well made. The keys are where they should be, and even that "touch" key that many find useless has its why: I use it to change the focus mode (from eye tracking to single point etc ...) and I must say that I have never had a problem. If we really want to find a problem in the construction of this gem then it is definitely the fact that it has only one slot for SD, while it would have been convenient to have a second to be able to shoot in raw + jpeg. The software is the usual canon: unbeatable. The menus are done very well, all the settings are really easy to find. I must say, I was also surprised by the goodness of the touch-screen, it is basically equivalent to that of the smartphones to which we are accustomed. The battery... well, you quietly take 500 shots. Now, I understand that it is not an old style SLR, with 1300 shots of autonomy, but the spare batteries are not overly heavy (or expensive, just go to third-party brands like Patona). Moreover - and it is not a small thing - you can charge the battery on-the-go simply by attaching a powerbank to the camera, a function in my opinion as obvious as it is useful. The viewfinder is well defined, rather fluid and functional. I must say that I use the screen more than the viewfinder, but for personal convenience. The EF adapter. Here, here we must make a speech: Canon has evidently imagined the R system thinking of professionals and consumer basics. Just look at the lens park released to date to realize it: the lenses are few, and either they are super monsters for pro (see 85mm 1.2, 50mm 1.2) or they are basic ciofeche (see 50mm 1.8STM, 35mm 1.8 macro, 24-105 7.1!). But – and this is as big as a home – the EF lens adapter works really well. Here, I admit, I started buying RF lenses and I ended up selling practically all of them to switch to EF... at the level of autofocus you do not lose anything but you save money and you have to deal with lenses of the highest quality. In short, to conclude. The EOS R is a lady camera, with "professional" functions and with a body designed to withstand time. I believe, after years of research and money spent, that I have found the camera that suits me. |
sent on February 01, 2022 Pros: Fabulous files, both jpeg and Raw. Robustness of the body, high-performance and instant autofocus with dual pixels. Simple and complete menus, viewfinder, full touch and rotatable screen. Excellent ISO seal, dynamic range and excellent shadow recovery. Large body the right, but with a good grip and well balanced. Good 4K videos despite the crop factor in shooting. Top display to see the main settings with a quick glance. Great feeling. Cons: If I really have to find one, lack of stabilization on the sensor (among other things excellent). I preferred a few customizable keys although on Canon you do not miss them too much because of the well-designed menus. Opinion: I state that I do not understand who turns up his nose in front of an EOS R, it is a 5D MK IV in a mirrorless body with an extraordinary autofocus and with a refinement on the sensor / software side still improved. Of course, many complain about the lack of the Joystick (replaced by a customizable controller that is a bit difficult to appreciate), but the camera is fabulous, robust as only Canon can do and with a fantastic image reproduction. The files are clean and very detailed, the autofocus (after the firmware update) is stratospheric with an eye-control that does not miss a shot. The real touch monitor (nothing to do for example with the limited one of other brands) and fully articulated has made and continues to make school so much so that other brands are now adopting it. The menu, typical of Canon, allows a high customization so that the camera adapts to any style and / or photographic approach. The WiFi works very well and the Canon App, in my opinion, is very good. Is a single slot too little? Maybe, but in years and years of Canon at all latitudes I have never had problems with reading / writing files as long as I use good memory cards. I also find it misleading to compare it to Mirrorless of another category as is often done (I think of nonsensical comparisons with R5 and R6) even if the image quality is absolutely top. Taking into account the price it is absolutely a best buy and a great tool. |
sent on January 02, 2022 Pros: Autofocus, Menu, Viewfinder and rotatable screen, excellent ISO seal, excellent shadow recovery. Compact body but with a good grip. Well balanced. Cons: Raw file colors if not touched in posts really different from the classic colors of the Canon SLRs (eg 6d mark II, 5d Mark III), unstabilized body, 4k cropped, if burned the whites do not have great chances of recovery, better an underexposed photo rather than overexposed. Opinion: The camera is excellent, being the first Mirrorless fullframe canon a little unripe in some respects that have instead much improved in the R6 and R5. It has a really good autofocus even with adapted EF optics, of course with RF optics it is great. What has never made me crazy are the colors if not touched in post .. They are really strange, it has a somewhat particular yield. The dynamic range is not bad at all. Definitely on a whole other level than the 6d Mark II that I had until a few months ago. But despite this if I have to deliver a jpg just out of the machine I definitely prefer those of the 6D below 3200 ISO at least. The body not stabilized in video is managed quite well by electronic stabilization, it will not be comparable to a GH5 but certainly at the same level as an A7 III. Compared to the A7 III it certainly has the display for the better, both in terms of sharpness, brightness, tipping and especially in the menus. He loses a bit in the recovery of the lights on which Sony is really strong! The "rule" of exposing to the right with this camera is really risky and counterproductive. |
sent on October 06, 2021 Pros: Robust and well-made body, with optimal dimensions (neither too small, nor too large), firm grip, great versatility but only for pro use (in fact the scenes, the panorama function etc. are missing), instant autofocus (not a shot is missed), well-made touch interface, Dual Pixel Autofocus, excellent image quality Cons: Ergonomics of some very questionable controls (moreover, from the customizable keys you can not manage all the functions), unconvincing video performance with showy 4K crop, absence of the stabilizer in the room, limited battery life if you do not use some precautions on energy saving, processing processes a bit slow in certain circumstances, evaluation measurement too variable depending on the frame Opinion: I have owned this camera for a few months, having purchased it in July 2021, but I think I can already give an accurate evaluation. I state that I also own an EOS 6D purchased in 2014, which continues to do its duty. The aspect that most impressed me is the quality of the images and that confirms what all the reviews say. Being a journalist / reviewer of cameras and lenses, over the years I have had the opportunity to try almost all the SLR / mirrorless of various brands and price ranges and I must say that a quality like that EOS R in terms of fineness of detail, micro-contrast, color rendering, I have never found, even with machines of the same House (apart from the 5D mark IV) or others with a denser sensor, which goes as we know at the expense of noise. If we exclude the unattainable Fujifilm GFX 100, which however is large format, I therefore put the EOS R at the top of the full frame cameras, even if - I admit - I have not yet had the opportunity to try the R5. I mentioned the noise, content, but the EOS 6D is better: after all, it also has 10 Mpixel less. The video quality is not up to that of the photo sector: although using it very little in this mode, I found that the recorded is lower than that of cameras such as the Sony Alpha 7/9 or even the Fujifilm from the X-T3 upwards. But, you know, an EOS R you don't buy for video... This machine suffers from some flaws that we would not have expected from a manufacturer like Canon and that concern ergonomics, where generally the manufacturer had never failed. Is it possible that every time you take your hand your thumb ends up on keys that should not be pressed? Never happened on SLRs, at least in full frame that have a better studied body shape. The touch controller might have been a nice idea, but it's poorly implemented in my opinion. In conclusion: excellent autofocus, totally adjustable touch monitor, well-made menu structure, very nice EVF (but the optical part of the same could be slightly better), great versatility. However, the stabilizer in the car is missing... And the battery, if you use the high frame rate of the electronic viewfinder, lasts very little... |
sent on December 26, 2020 Pros: Compact, lightweight, use of ef and ef-s optics, adjustable dislpay, Wifi connections, crop factor in the machine, customizable. Cons: Compact, sometimes with the itilizzo of the bg from a more solid grip sensation. Lack of setting a quick button dedicated to the crop factor, the eyepiece remains very protruding compared to the machine body and makes it difficult to store the machine body in the bag resting at its back. Once you've taken a slow photo in the viewfinder of new subjects. Opinion: Having to add a second body to the 6dmk2 I was undecided whether to bet on a second 6dmk2 or try a mirroles. The choice was between an eos Rp or an eos R, The Rp seemed more compact and much less performing than the eos R. The choice fell on the eos R thanks to the curiosity of these new cameras. Use with EF adapter and optics. Correction in March 2021. After a few months of use and after the euphoria begins for the new purchase, I can fully express my judgment. I find the electronic viewfinder a little annoying, too bright if you frame a dark scene. The vision that returns to you is not real, it displays already elaborate images with the addition of photo style or the creators of the awb, after all it is a miniature screen ..... The display of the scene is late even if milliseconds makes you lose your cognetion with what happens around you. In this respect, I consider slRs to be unattainable. The files are very detailed and workable without any problem. Crop in the car is very useful. On balance.... More than a camera it looks like an electronic tool designed to take photographs, too much electronics. Although a good car, I go back in my footsteps and return to the world of SLRs. I just hope Canon doesn't leave the Reflex segment. |
sent on December 25, 2020 Pros: Ergonomics, autofocus, jpeg image quality, EVF, LCD, Fv mode, touch Cons: single slot, unconvincing raw, difficulty finding some functions. Opinion: It is a solid machine with exceptional ergonomics, fits perfectly in your hand. The menus are canon style, however sometimes I have some difficulty finding specific items. Surely it has been placed on the market a little unripe... the absence of the double slot makes the professionals turn their noses up. I don't like the new mode selection ring.. I find the selection cumbersome, as well as the switch between photos and videos. The images produced are excellent... jpegs are practically already usable, if you set parameters carefully. I can't say I was electrocuted by raw... I find them a little mosci, I don't know how to say... but they don't convince me, even if they work well... the comparison with the Sony A7III is inevitable and in this area loses the comparison... far from answering on the AF... EOS-R also focuss in the dark.. really impressive... never notice hesitation... sometimes with a Zoom Tamron 24-70 2.8 I noticed that at the maximum focal point it does not hook the fire... you have to get off, get him hooked and then go up as a focal point... at that point it instantly hooks up... with ef Canon optics never wrong a shot... the AF module is wonderful even in af-c... for many things I prefer Sony, but some features of the R are really great. A machine that, although unripe, I would like to advise without major reservations. I don't have RF optics, but with EF I'm doing very well. The touch screen is very functional, having the characteristics of a typical smartphone panel with all the features... the LCD is very good, as well as the viewfinder, exceptional, even if it "stitches" during the shot... nothing dramatic... the resolution and color rendering are really good. The autonomy is not at the level of the SLRs, but it is not bad at all. |
sent on December 11, 2020 Pros: Ergonomics, mpx, dynamic range, AF, image quality, dynamic range. Cons: single slot, burst, lack focus bracketing, lack of GPS and Canon APP. Opinion: First mirrorless after years of reflex and specifically a modest 650D and I have to say that the impact was really great. It has a typical ergonomics of Canon chambers that fit perfectly in the hands as well as weight and size. The thing that impressed me the most was the AF, I was used to that of the 650D and here instead it is a different story of its own, always ready and responsive, the only out of tune note is the very low burst, you know that it is not for sport, but I believe that getting to at least 8 fps would be the minimum on such a car. The touch bar what to say, you have to get used to it because it is very practical, but also very sensitive and just nothing to be active, I set it to the type of AF and it works perfectly. The file that pulls out this camera is gorgeous, full of information and with recoverable files at both low iso and high iso, testing it I was able to ascertain that up to 1600/3200 iso the photos have a noise up recoverable in post, obviously it always depends on the shooting conditions, I also ascertained that the noise produced at iso 100 in underexposed shots (invariance) is also minimal, I recovered a photo with 4 stops underexposed in a top way. Another positive note is the customization, you can customize it in all and everything so that you have everything at hand and it is not true that without the famous wheel everything is difficult, even here it is a question of adapting, even if in the last R5 and R6 they have put it back as requested by the pros. The only ones in or without the camera are the lack of the double slot that in my opinion could be replaced with a good APP so that you can back up via WIFI to the smartphone in real time, even at the expense of the battery, as well as the lack of bracketing on the fire and native GPS inside the camera itself. To date I believe it is a best buy in value for money, to be definitely had. |
sent on November 09, 2020 Pros: Ergonomics, mpx, dynamic range, AF, battery, screen, weight, touch bar, MF zebraling, zero F/B focus sigma optics Cons: single slot Opinion: First mirrorless after years of reflex and I found myself very well. It has ergonomics, weight and size that goes well with my hand. The touch bar, contrary to what is said around, I find it very practical if well set; perhaps too close to the other commands. The AF stunned me and continues to give me great shots with very few mistakes (obviously when I dare too much). I appreciated that the battery was the same as the 5D so that the old batteries were also used. I think the resolution is excellent, not too much to strain downloads and processing, not too little for printing billboards and large prints. The only drawback is obviously the single slot that as far as wedding shots are concerned it is a security to have 2. But when I worked for provincial and regional newspapers I used a 5Dmk1 and never a mistake. Using TS optics and manuals often and willingly (fisheye for example) I loved zebraling for focus. I don't regret the old SLRs other than the optical viewfinder. |
sent on October 27, 2020 Pros: Picture quality, dynamic range, fabulous EVF and screen, ergonomics, battery life, tropicalization Cons: Double slot, TIMELAPSE RAW, 4k crop and no 60fps, lens park TOO TOO expensive and reduced, lack of awkward focus bracketing Opinion: I bought this Eos R in March 2020 when for the price it became a best buy in the Canon house, discarding both Sony A7iii and 5D4. I waited 7 months to try it well before reviewing it (maybe everyone did). The file produced by this camera is splendid: the AWB rarely misses a beat, raw malleable in post, beautiful sharp and clean image with great dynamic range (compared to RP/6D/6D2 the difference is immediate). Compared to the models mentioned a moment ago, on which I always seemed almost to see an opaque "veil" on the sensor, I find the R file much more "crunchy" and sharper.. I cannot explain it, but the difference is very tangible. The ergonomics are great, it would have been nice to have the joystick but using the touch to move the AF point is not a problem at all, the controls are positioned where they should and falls into your hand very very well. In recent months I have brought it in the rain on the Norwegian fjords, on the north sea in gales and on the sand of the Greek beaches, never any problem and never any trace of dirt on the sensor (the curtain is brilliant) so tropicalization also works as god commands. Using the EVF and screen, among the best on the market for resolution, really make it a pleasure to use this R and do not make it feel too "distant" from the old school. The battery is a leap ahead of the mirrorless I've tried, I've never taken less than 1000 shots, third-party batteries included, so it takes that thought out of my mind as well. The AF is another gem of this chamber that made me discard the 5D4: always very fast focus, precise and fast EyeAF, reliable Servo pursuit. What would I miss? Double slots for added security, timelapse in RAW, 4k 60 or no-crop on video, the embarrassing lack of focus bracketing that is present on the lower-end Eos RP and above all a much less expensive RF lens park than the current one, is it possible that third-party manufacturers are not interested? Would I switch to R6 or R5? Honestly not: R6 with 10mpx less I consider it a step back from THAT point of view, R5 with 15mpx more and the very expensive CF would require extra storage and better hardware not needed for most uses.. Would I buy Eos R back? absolutely yes, I worked on it 7 months learning how to make the most of it and I will work on it again! I consider it even more of a best buy with the new releases. |
sent on September 26, 2020 Pros: Great RAW file, ergonomics, size, customization, wind screen, beautiful touchscreen, C-Log, custom ribbon for AF, EF lens compatibility, multi exposures and HDR in the room. Cons: Lack of GPS, APP Canon, gust limited to 5, lack of joystick and wheel with arrows, limited video compartment, not suitable for sports with EF supertele. Opinion: After studying the manual thoroughly and testing it well I can say that I am very satisfied with the purchase made in relation to my use: portrait posed but also dynamic, landscape, architecture, indoor sports. PROS: I like the RAW file that I find very workable and detailed; ergonomics did not make me regret that of the Canon reflex; I find the size perfect (I don't like small ML); one of the nicest things is the total customization of the keys and menus, once done it seems sewn on (and for everything else the Canon menus are great); the screen is fully articulated; nice touchscreen looks like that of an iPhone; another marvel is C-Log of a very high quality; unlike many I love the ribbon but only since I customized it to choose the various types of AF (it is in fact easier to swipe forward or backward than to press a button many times or enter the menu); one of the most important pros is compatibility with EF lenses (I adapted all the old L-series reflex kit that seems resurrected and finally I took the 50L that I can use at 1.2 without microregulation with eye focus and great precision); another thing I liked is the ability to do multi RAW exposures of as many files as you want in as many modes, and also to merge HDR in the room with excellent results. Let's move on to CONTROS: The worst thing in my opinion is the lack of GPS, I always forget to connect it to the App Canon which is then slow when used as a remote control; If you need the burst know that it is limited to only 5fps per second; too bad for the lack of joystick (which is compensated by the excellent touch) and especially the wheel with arrows that are fixed; the video compartment is limited, to use it as you have to settle for the Full-HD at 60fps (enough for most use) lacks slow motion and especially croppa of 1.8x in 4k (unacceptable). If you love birdlife know that it is not suitable for sports with EF supertele, but it goes very well in indoor sport with my 200L II and the responsiveness of the AF adjusted for good. CONCLUSION: If you are a videographer or if you mainly play sports and birds, I recommend the new R6; For all other genres I recommend you save over 1000 euros because this R after the upgrade is a bomb and works much better than your old SLLR. |
sent on August 22, 2020 Pros: Construction, orientable screen, raw file, dynamic range, super customizable setting, maf and eye tracking with new firmware, electronic viewfinder, full frame focus. Cons: Really slow burst and viewfinder that freezes the image during the burst! Opinion: My first mirror less and I would not go back, thinking I have to recompose the image after taking the focus point, today makes me laugh. Good track focus on the eyes, also being able to choose the focus point with the thumb on the screen, once accustomed, is very comfortable. I only shoot in raw and find the file excellent. I don't have native lenses but I noticed that the ef lenses work even better than on reflexes as for maf, too bad for the slight imbalance due to the adapter, but you get used to it early. The real sore point is the burst, if you try to take some sporty shots, the Eos R shows all its limitations, I found it really slow and because of the optical viewfinder it is difficult to follow the object, I bought it knowing of this deficiency, but I did not think it was so limited. All in all, an exceptional machine that gives so much satisfaction |
sent on August 22, 2020 Pros: Frame quality, native optics, evf, ef/ef-s optical adapter Cons: For me nothing Opinion: I waited 8 months before writing this review. After owning an 80D and a 6DM2, in December 2019 I took the R. Love at the first shot. Simple to use. Very workable files and good dynamic range. Good hold at high iso. Shooting mainly in both raw and jpg. It often happens that already the jpg I like, especially the b&n that returns. With the update to firmware 1.7, the autofocus is more fluid and more responsive in tracking the eye and the subject in general. Convenient choice of focus point on the screen. What don't I like? The autofocus button on the back (I use this, I disabled the one on the shutter button), put in an unnatural spot for the thumb. At the Touch bar I assigned the function to choose the type ti autofocus. I don't miss the double slot. I never had cars that had it. Of course if he had been there it would have been better. Machine in my opinion and not only, little happens. The new Eos R5 and R6 are currently out. I hold tight my R that for what I want is fine On the video side I do not express that I do not use it |
sent on August 19, 2020 Pros: Lightness, good build quality and sensor that like the 5D MK IV gives you the chance to well recover lights and shadows Cons: Display that stays on with the machine off (disorients the user), lacks the joistick to carefully change settings or autofocus point. Opinion: I own a 5D MK IV for reasons of lightness I took the R. The sensor is as satisfying as the MK IV intuitive in use but in my opinion the autofocus (points) could be handled better, in fact it lacks a joistick, small top display and inadequate burst. It's a great opportunity to have autofocus up to f11 and good quality video cmq. Basically a first step towards the mirrorless era, which now with R5 and R6 really offers a new dimension to Canon. Dear RF L Series lenses so the adapter is pure gold. |
sent on August 03, 2020 Pros: If you know what you buy, everything. Cons: If you know what you're buying, nothing but some crap. Opinion: I've been Fujista for a long time. Before I had Nikon for photos and Panasonic for video. I have always worked well with Fuji, less with Nikon, much less but as they say it is a matter of feeling. Canon Eos R is a machine that needs to be digested and is not as immediate as a Fuji with all its extraordinary dials. I can understand why this machine was not taken by many sympathetic canonists. Canon, in my opinion, has swerved too abruptly to enter the mirrorless world, but that's my opinion. I used the 5d mk ii tried the iii, the 6d, the 6d mk ii, the 7d, and I always considered Canon the best house in photography but I am also one of the many advocates of the technological revolution if as intelligent as the one that brought us from the mirrorless world to my methodology of working the groom in full (everything is subjective , useless to have debates about what is better). This Canon is a blank canvas and if you use native optics, the ones that make you give both kidneys for a zoom, you have the possibility, if you are a fujista and very attached as I am to the physical gullies to sew on the machine as you want. I admit that this was my fear at first because I am a lazy and I hate learning new machines. In the hand it is light and perfect even for those who have peaceful hands like mine. The fierce criticism of the touchbar and taken off on the new ones I do not understand it because I consider it also quite functionale if the idea of giving it to the joystick I approve Of Here the lack of this is the only flaw I found and the screen as a touch methodology to move the focus point can be comfortable sometimes and sometimes uncomfortable , so once again a matter of habit. Otherwise it is a professional machine even if some consider it to be intermediate range without ever having tried it. The dynamic range could not be better, I do not understand those who say the opposite based only on legends maybe even with a background of truth referred to the machines of 15 years ago. The canon eos R is a machine that returns a very good feeling and files that I think can be considered perfect for workability, weight, malleability etc... The image quality is at really high levels and perhaps like all machines since they removed I'm blessed AA filter to count the pores of the model's skin and then remove them in the post to make porcelain dolls, it is all too defined. The 30 million pixels are right if printed in large format more in my opinion serve only to sell and amaze but in practice... As long as you're not "anonymous croppist." And then if you want 60 or more million pixels why don't you go on medium format and you have to hold tight stip by poor pixels?! Canon made a great car. Only one Slot, ok they could have put two as now after 2 years did Nikon with the z5 when for 1 year and a half said that now were the xqd the future (here we talk about consistency in addition to bad planning but it is a speech too long). Ultimately I was afraid of the change, but after two weeks and some shots made for work I am extremely glad to have made the jump despite the kidney sold. The feeling is already good and I think it will become great. |
sent on May 26, 2020 Pros: RAW file with decent work margin, feeling, menu, display, focus system, key customization and RF lenses. Cons: Touch bar. Lack among the native RF optics of a 35mm worthy and that is maybe f1.2; I hope soon to have to update this review. Opinion: Great machine and great system, after more than a year of use I am aware that I still do not exploit 100% to its full potential. The battery lasts long enough despite I have the Live View practically always on; I do not know if for good or bad but this machine has changed the way I shoot, with reflex almost always with eye on the viewfinder while with this 90% screen, rarely from eye viewfinder, by the way excellent. C-Log fantastic video especially if in post production you convert the file with the native Lut Canon. |
sent on May 16, 2020 Pros: Excellent build quality, little noise at high ISO, improved dynamic range Cons: Price, new touch bar Opinion: Great room for photos, but it does very well even for videos despite the 4k crop (which I do not find as annoying as it appears on the net). The build quality is at the highest level for a camera of this price. The sensor is great and I personally really appreciated the improvements that Canon has made: great strides for ISO noise but especially for the dynamic range (for the Canon world); in fact, in photos of landscapes with many variations of light can give great satisfaction without resorting to HDR. As for the cons are obviously the high price (although I think it is quite correct given the overall quality) and the new touch bar that I find unfunctional and slow, so much so that in the R5 they will eliminate it. |
sent on April 30, 2020 Pros: Perfect handle, sensor and colors, fast AF, battery, infinite optical park Cons: Single slot, touchbar (?!) Opinion: After almost 50,000 shots I can definitely promote it as the best machine I've ever had. For a variety of reasons, sensor and colors, excellent yield up to 6400 and wanting even further, excellent dynamic range. AF that with the latest update has changed from day to night, especially in AF-C. A pleasure to use, a resolute and well-contrasted EVF, the balance of the white is very precise and I almost never tend to correct it when shooting. Clearly the talk of the single slot has influenced many but it is clear that it was a well-liked choice by Canon, the R5 that is going to come will fill this gap but the R to date is still a machine lady. The use combined with 35 RF, 50 Art and 85 1.4 L IS. In general any optics there mounted (excluding super canvases) makes better than on reflex, especially for the accuracy of the fire. The autonomy is sometimes ballerina, varies from 800 shots up to 2000 and beyond, it depends on how you use it, and I noticed that with stabilized optics it drops more easily. I'm not talking about video features because I've never shot half a second of clips with any machine. I update what has already been written just to insert in the counters the touch bar, which I completely disabled because in practical use it is inaccurate missing a feedback to touch. Completely useless. |
sent on April 13, 2020 Pros: Speed and responsiveness AF, eye-AF, command customization, infinite optical park, sensor, customizable control ring RF lenses Cons: The video that I still do not use, maybe the ribbon, ridiculous burst that I do not use, price Opinion: I bought the EOS R in kit with RF 24-105 - the adapter just two days before the coronavirus closure, great bad luck because I could try it little outdoors. I had to do a lot of tests at home. My mirrorles approach was not a drama because in the past I had the Fuji XT-1 and I am mainly referring to the transition from the optical sight to the EVF. The machine came to me with the first highly contested firmware when all the reviews practically rejected it. I immediately installed the latest firmware 1.6. The thing that struck me immediately and positively was the AF, with 24-105 RF is a splinter. I would like to say, however, that my lenses EF 70-200 L IS f4, EF 300 L IS f4 and EF 16-35 f4 still go better than the 6D, let's say almost as if they were mounted on the 7D mark II that I had and bought only for its AF module. Also notable is the eye-AF and DPAF that I use in Craw. The files are very workable and do not suffer from the crop and human recoveries so the sensor satisfies me. The EOS R is very customizable at the command level to buttons and dials. Also useful is the sensor protector door (it opens with machine in on and closes with machine in off) when changing the targets as long as this is done by machine off. I don't make videos and I don't use the burst. One bad thing, which you can disable anyway, is the ribbon, I memorized the magnification of the shooting scene and this thing does not affect anything while shooting. I think the Canon approach to the mirrorless world was not bad, from my point of view, because the things for which it has been very criticized do not actually affect the quality of the photos that it manages to churn out. |
sent on April 10, 2020 Pros: sensor, af and eye AF, overall quality, EF and RF optical park availability, weight. Cons: lack of joypad, slow burst, annoying snap preview in sports use. Opinion: When Canon pulls out a new car is always the subject of praise but also a lot of criticism, so was the R. Given that in the canon house I had 5dII - 5dII - 1DX and 80D. I ventured the switch to mirrorless, for me an unknown. Let's start from the machine body, less voluminous and lighter than the corresponding reflex, I found it well done and well handleable, gives the feeling of solidity. The absence of the joypad that I find indispensable is serious. The rest of the controls are easily accessible, the keys slightly smaller than the SLRs, but you get used to it. The menus are the classic Canon ones for about eight years, so they're fine. Let's move on to the sensor, the file produced by it follows the strand of FF that I own and that always satisfied me with colors, sharpness, embodied. Unlike the 5 series I owned, it has a huge advantage in surrender when you open the shadows. The white balance seems good to me. The AF is a positive note, always ready, it has the great advantage of being paired with an eye-AF very useful in portraits. Finally you can focus on the composition without the need to look for the focus on the eye. A great innovation. The points are then distributed throughout the frame, another advantage. The AF is also valid in the action photo. A sector in which the R is penalized by an insufficient burst and the annoying preview of the electronic viewfinder. In the video industry I have not had the chance to use it, I will update the review later. Another factor to take into account is the usability of Canon's endless optical park and the advent of RF optics that seem to bode well. I had the RF 24/105, which is from another planet compared to the EF counterparts. By the way, the ef optics do not need calibrations and even the super bright ones become precise in the focus. Overall a nice car with flaws in sports. |
sent on March 08, 2020 Pros: file quality, great body machine Cons: multi function bar Opinion: I come from a 6 d mark 2, there is no comparison. Top throughout. So many practical functions and within reach of "thumb and index". Waiting for the R 5 the cost has dropped. With the adapter then I use EF optics with great satisfaction. It's not very fast in the shot but the result always brings it. In the portraits it is gorgeous. Recommended |
sent on January 25, 2020 Pros: Solid construction, small size, sensor quality. PERFECT AF even in critical situations Cons: AF and slow shooting cadence for dynamic photos. Lack of joystick and rear wheel. Opinion: I've been using Canon for a long time and decided to continue with the R. The machine is built very well and holds smoothly despite its small size. I missed the wheel and the joystick right away. I disabled the bar and customized some buttons: eg. For iso, etc. After setting the parameters of AF properly I felt very good. In normal shots (landscapes, portraits, etc.) it is perfect and responsiveness is adequate. I found it very convenient to move the AF point with my thumb. I also did some birdlife on the fly with supertele with good results. The focus is always precise but the speed is low (e.g. lower than 5Ds and of course 7d2, series one)... however, it does not go down by adding the 2x. And the 500 configuration with 2x becomes very interesting for focus accuracy. Now I wait days with clear enough skies to look for the true limits of af speed and file quality. After the firmware update is promoted with flying colors with the limit of the shooting cadence. |
sent on January 06, 2020 Pros: Small, robust, reliable, beautiful file Cons: lack of exposure point AF spot spot Opinion: After trying everything I am also approved to RF system, what to say, I like, the machine is sturdy (although built of plastic as well as RF lenses, but it is a beautiful plastic). It was the first machine that made me forget the joystic, in fact it has a really precise touch focus and easy to customize. The files are great, the megapixels are the right ones for me. The dimensions are small and hold well. As for a machine made well, fast and reliable, I do not care about the stabilizer or tropicalization for what I have to do, I am very satisfied. |
sent on January 05, 2020 Pros: Reliable and very fast focus - excellent EVF Cons: Some flaws in the video sector Opinion: The EOS R has excellent ergonomics, the controls are simple and customizable. Coming from the 6D Mark II I struggled a little (half an hour) to customize it and get used to it but I think the transition from other Canon bodies is simple. Before i bought it I had tested at the store FotoEma an A7RIII but the spark did not start. Canon's menus are certainly more immediate and better organized. The body has excellent ergonomics, but the gravels are not as easy to reach as in a reflex (especially for those with large hands). It should be specified that the machine with pancakes or lenses not too heavy is much more practical to maintain, of course the thinner body, combined with the adapter that moves the center of gravity forward, is less practical than a reflex. Certainly with RF lenses the balance problem does not arise, but a 24 70 or a 70 200 are well unbalanced forward (which of course would happen with any ML that is hooked up to an adapted lens). The focus with the eye tracking system is lightning fast, I don't take sports photos but I tested the kids on the bike and did not miss a shot. In addition, with the firmware update, the Eye Detection system has been implemented for autofocus in Servo mode as well as One shot. The dynamic range is excellent, especially for shadows that have always been the Achilles heel for Canon. It focuses in a room completely in the dark, even without pilot lights. The RF optics have a dial with customizable function that make the EOS R-RF system extremely practical (especially from the lens you add or take away light stops very quickly) The machine is 100% customizable, with pre-settings that switch between photos and videos in time 0. To the touch button you get used to it with ease, I set it up for ISOs, really practice the possibility of attributing diversified functions to the left and right buttons of the multitouch bar and to the "swype" Between Histogram in the crosshairs, tracking of the eye, and MAF assisted to err a shot is practically a feat! Flaws: As you know suffers from Rolling shutter in videos, also there is cropping for 4k videos (for those who do not make videos may not be a real problem); it does not have a stabilized body which for those who use stabilized optics or makes landscapes can be completely uninfluential. The choice to eliminate low-resolution ARS acorn is not an advantage if you shoot at high ISOs (for example it can be a problem if you do astrophotography the excessive file size if you do not have a hyperluminous optic), I hope they are reintroduced with some future update. In summary, Canon (like the others) ran for cover from the preference towards the mirrorless segment that was capturing a large part of the user. In my opinion, the Eos R fits the landscaper or portraitist, ensures the same familiarity as those who already used Canon (one of the greatest advantages over the others) and allows you to use the optics you already have (EF and EF-S). For me promoted with flying colors |
sent on December 11, 2019 Pros: Dynamic range, FV, dual pixel, ergonomics, focus points, display, double-to-p sd Cons: Lack gps, iso seal, raw format Opinion: I can only compare with the 6D, still in my possession, on the landscapes, so no video nor ready AF. On the R, the tendency to burn lights has disappeared. Ability to reassemble in all ways and not only in M. FV is a holy hand. Cons: The Gps position is useful to remember the exact point of the shot but is missing, the CR3 looks more malleable than the CR2 but there is only one size, whole or compact and the pixels on each side are identical. A smaller format is useful for limiting noise to high iso, very annoying noise already to 800 in luminance and 3200 in chroma. I thought I'd sell the 6D but I keep it, with little light it's even better. The double-feet is a pleasant update but saving files of that size, although on the proper board is a bit slow. |
sent on October 29, 2019 Pros: Autofocus, display, high ISO noise, good light measurement great 4k videos Cons: only 30 Mpx, crop on 4k video, multi-function bar operated with the face (to be disabled) Opinion: Since I bought it as the second body of the flagship 5dsr and with this I compared it in the use. I'd say the 5dsr loses on almost every front. First of all on the autofocus that on 5Drs is really random in the sense that it focuses on what it wants and almost never the subject you want to photograph; face detection is painful. On the EOS R it is the autofocus that makes the difference especially in the portraits and the hold at the high ISO is considerably better. Then it does not suffer from focus problems with Canon targets as well as Sigma and Tamron. The 5dsr I now use it only for landscapes with short focal (type 16-35 f4 Canon) where you make good use of the density of pixels and the possibility of Crop. The EOS R is better in everything, especially for full-opening portraits in the presence of low lights. The electronic viewfinder is great, but it can still improve. The touch screen is well sensitive to controls and has excellent resolution. Looking ahead, I think SLRs have no future and full frame mirrorless have a bright future ahead. I hope that the future 80 Mpx EOS R works well at high iso The multif-anointing bar is a problem because it activates on its own with the heat of the face when you support the eyefinder and change the parameters of the photo without you noticing. To deactivate now. except on some like: density of pixels and therefore possibility of crop, resistance. |
sent on October 05, 2019 Pros: Construction, EF adapter ring, electronic scope, dynamic range, orientable display, focus, face/eye recognition, customization, file quality. Cons: Crop 4k, location of the USB C cable that locks the orientable monitor when used with gimbal stabilizer, single memory slot Opinion: The Eos R is a machine that takes the shooting experience to the next level, more yours, simpler, more immediate, igo from landscapes to weddings, to theatre to night life and the Eos R never stands back. I am very happy with the purchase, I took it with my eyes closed but I am really very happy, I am recommending it to everyone ! I haven't tried RF optics yet, already with eF is a bomb!! Coming from a 6D 1 what impressed me the most is the focus that can be used perfectly continuously without losing a shot. Mirrorless for everyone! |
sent on September 04, 2019 Pros: Price, Raw File Quality, AF, Screen, Viewfinder, Customization, Video File, C-log Cons: 120fps; crop 4k (solved with wide angle); very high iso; Opinion: After reading about each about this little canon house jewel I decided to try it (comparing it with other models) and then buy it. It was love right away. The lens was to find an FF machine suitable for my every work situation (Paesaggistic, Portrait, Video, Lifestyle, Backstage) and I am super satisfied with this choice. Goal !!! The AF works well; (even with EF targets). The machine is super customizable; with each key can be assigned a proper function (even the touch bar I reassessed: set with the WB I find it perfectly). At the level of quality canon is not discussed. Raw files are perfect and rich in information. In the video sector it's a joy!! At high iso we say that it does not behave like competition (if you only work in closed places where you need extreme iso, maybe I would think about it). The 1080 has an incredible quality especially with the c-log. Even the 60 fps behaves well in the slomo (sin not having the 120fps, it would have been very comfortable!!!) The cropped 4k is also one of its weak points but personally I made up for it using the canon wide angle. I also enjoyed the new layout of the screen, finally flipped in different modes that help (and not a little) in certain work situations. The touchscreen is something incredibly fluid; far superior to the competition (almost at the iphone level, so to speak). The ability to focus on the screen while in view is also fantastic. The price its strong point; With about 1500 euros (price to date of most shops) you take home an ML FF all do really great at the professional level. |
sent on August 08, 2019 Pros: Image quality. FV shooting mode. Cons: Impression of poor solidity. Opinion: I bought the Canon EOS R in June 2019 after "stalling" and reading hundreds of reviews. I own an 80D and a 5D MK II, I like landscape and nature and I wanted to check the improvements on a latest generation OF FF and especially I was looking forward to shooting with a Mirrorless. Well, as I reported in " PRO ", the quality of the photographic image is, in my opinion, VERY. I read that the sensor is that of the MK IV, others say it is new; definitely the processor is new. I did not test the video because I absolutely do not care; most of the criticism I found on the forums relates to that. I have not yet used some features ( see the use of the touch bar ) because once you set the machine to FV ( NEW GENIAL ) you will not take it off anymore.... I shot with L-series optics but EF with adapter without dier. Everything OK except the EF 24-105 f4 first series that, after a thousand clicks, began to show communication defects with the machine with the appearance of error message and need to turn it off and on again. The other optics, ie 16-35 f4L, 70-200 f4L smooth, 100-400 f4.5-5.6L first series, Tamron 90 mm f2.8 Macro are fine; it works well, other novelty of the R series, also the 15-85 mm aps-c that can be mounted with the same adapter as the EF and that produces cropped images automatically, that is, uses about 11-12 MPX with a focal of 24-135mm . The machine is a bit "read" but not so much as weight (The reading on an ML is desirable and is one of the advantages over the reflexes ) as as as a construction and "impression" when holding (Also has an excellent ergonomics); despite this it is robust because i once fell to the ground accidentally but presented only a slight dent and no consequences on the operation. In the presence of light the viewfinder shows an image practically the same as the optical one and makes you see the photo as it will appear after taken> another great NEW in my opinion. Good battery life if miscellaneous parameters set to power saving. Waiting to buy the native optics I still enjoy with the current goals the MERAVIGLIOSI COLORI CANON. |
sent on July 21, 2019 Pros: price, sensor, touch-bar display (or as you call the digital sidebar), configuration of dial buttons and touch-bars, handling Cons: lack of the double card, silent click: it distorts the moving subjects, there is no antiflicker: in short it is useless. Annoying image freezer at the time of shooting. Opinion: Bought to photograph dance in the theater that is my job. Clearly as a second body. But I needed a mirrorless for the silent shot because in certain theaters if you make noise with the camera they kick you out. Almost successful operation just because what makes noise is the mirror, so without mirror the hassle is practically nil and you just have to do a little bit of attention. Great image rendering that adds quality to the sensor of the 5d miV, also thanks to the work, I think correct me if I'm wrong, of the processor digit 8!, which does its duty. The new self-configurable buttons make the job VERY easier and the innovative touch-bar allows immediate control over a function you decided: I chose iso because during a choreography I have to change them constantly, and so I exposure ALWAYS under control. The silent shot distorts the moving subjects (and distorts them a lot) can not activate the antiflicker, conclusion for me in the theater is COMPLETELY useless: except the fact, to which I mentioned, that anyway the "normal" shot, being without mirror, is quite silent, I would have returned it, I am sincere. It also has another nice flaw, however "superable": Despite having disabled the vision of the image after the shot, which made it impossible for me to work with the dancers in continuous motion, there remains a moment of "freezer", followed also by some flicker, which for a moment it freezes me the vision of the shot made and prevents me from watching live. let's face it is a moment, it's overcome by making a little habit, but in my industry it's limiting, and it risks making me miss important moments of choreography. However you get used to managing it, we hope that with some updates you can delete it. It remains a great body perfectly up to its rivals, which I highly recommend if you do not do my job. If you take pictures in the theater like me think about it first, and then do the same maybe but know these weaknesses. |
sent on July 06, 2019 Pros: Extremely customizable, Autofocus with firmware update 1.2, file quality, FV mode, ergonomics Cons: maybe it would have been better to have the joystick Opinion: I own the R for 3-4 months, immediately it was obvious how customizable the machine is in every single key to our liking, also using an rf optic is also customizable the last ring, which I assigned to compensate the exposure... The FV mode is very useful, thanks to which you can decide which parameters to have in manual or automatic between time, diaphragm and iso, once inserted you will forget all the others. Excellent Autofocus that does not miss a beat, also thanks to the latest update allows you to have the af eye in Servo. A little more difficult approach with setting the focus point, made thanks to the touch screen, in my opinion it would have been faster and more intuitive to have the classic joystick. Great sight. Using EF optics I have not noticed changes, it produces very workable files even under extreme iso conditions and also manages to focus almost in the dark. Battery that in my opinion produces more shots than those said by the house... for the use I do with it's not a problem to have a single slot so I don't find it a con |
sent on June 27, 2019 Pros: with installed the latest firmware version 1.2 Af, eye chase in servo, excellent resistance to high iso, Af fast and very precise, so much detail in the files. Cons: with silent click, the antifliker is not activated. Opinion: After a month of intensive use I decided to leave this opinion on the bodysuit 35 f1.8. I come from in-depth knowledge of the bodies Canon 350, 550, 600, 6, 5Dm3 and accustomed to the very comfortable flip screen of the 600 I have always warned of the lack in the bodies FF. The 6dm2 would certainly have been the most successful choice but those points of Af all central bothered me, so the natural upgrade was the R. Obviously I rated very well the transition to other brands that on paper had undoubted advantages on the sensor, but objectively, tried on the field, they did not convince me. The R is fantastic because it is extremely easy to set up, every single button you can change it at will, the touch screen is comparable to a smartphone, it is light and very comfortable to hold in your hand. I was forced to change the area of choice of the focus on the display with my finger, binding the sensitivity only to the lower left corner (or right) because approaching the eye I often touch with the nose the display changing the point of AF right at the point of contact with the nose. On the sensor I expected something better, that is a remarkable leap in quality against the old 6D. actually changed a lot just the recovery of the shadows, now noise-free, but in terms of the recovery of the highlights, well I had huge difficulties. Actually, the old modus of shooting "right" overexposing to recover in post, I strongly advise on this sensor. The high iso seal made a one-stop jump from the 6D to 12,800 as the maximum threshold. I think it will be useful to know, in case of purchase, a "defect" or limitation that afflicts the R: if you want to shoot in silent mode you can not activate the antiflicker! It's an incredible thing! I even wrote to Canon to change this setting in future firmware. If I set the silent shot is because I do not want to disturb, and maybe I find myself in an environment with artificial lighting (theatre, recital, church, etc.) and if there is a cabbage of lighting that flickers? Nothing, you can't shoot in silence! It is not acceptable in my opinion for a product of this range and price in 2019. In combination with the 35 RF is successful in many respects. Although the optics are not one of those "Sigma Style" from wow to every shot, here there is concreteness, sharpness (on the other hand it is born for macro), stabilization, silence. It's not a flash as the AF speed but it's very nice its "delay" in the videos. I found some ghost effect too and it doesn't shine in the resistance to flare. As much as it costs it's a best buy. For those who own a Canon optical kit, the R is objectively a great machine. It gives beautiful shots and produces with the Canon Log active (but also without) really beautiful videos. It actually suffers from rolling shutters but if you don't have to make special quick shots in the movement of the room, that's fine. The crop of the 4k is the real point against this jewel of mom Canon, but I am convinced that this model was not addressed to the pros but (as for the 6D) as a second body, or for advanced users. Given the premises, I would buy it back for the many advantages and the few disadvantages i found in relation to the quality/price. |
sent on June 14, 2019 Pros: Autofocus sensor, precision and speed, EYE AF, grip, construction and EVF Cons: Lack of stabilizer on sensor Opinion: Carry over what I synthesized in a post:--reactive machine and extremely customizable; --Battery life: very good even recording timelapse, after hours of use, I came home with the battery and half charge and I have not set mode of energy saving (and I will not); --Video quality: Yes the 4K is Cropato and this to some purists like for the ratio 1 to 1 of the pixels... I do not like, I could have chosen to register or in 1a1 mode or by exploiting the whole sensor. However using the 16-35 I still get a sufficient breadth of view. Bitrate consideration that is little taken into consideration: the EOS R recording at maximum quality has a bitrate of 480Mbps; --Timelapse: I confirm as already mentioned by others that they are not croppi (hurrah); --AF: very quick and accurate. For now I was positively surprised; --EYE AF: It's very precise. Both with the RF 24-105 and with the 35 F/2 IS, both with the 50mm 1.8 and with 85mm 1.8 proved to be fast and reliable; --Touchbar: * Rulloditamburi * Eeeek!!! I was convinced I had to deactivate it and instead I found it comfortable. I configured that to be activated you have to touch the left part for a second and then scrolling select the areas/modes (spot, extended area, all frame, etc.) of focus. I am glad that there is, but for me they had to put the joystick too. I don't understand how some say they accidentally activate it... My thumb there does not end absolutely by mistake; --Screen: responsive and very comfortable touchscreen. I love the fact that I can finally have a "articulated" screen; --Software... Usually Canon and I find myself well. But as with all software, you just have to get used to it; --Sensor: Even after trying on the field, I confirm that compared to the 5D Mk III there is an abyss and I found no banding artifacts (maybe before the update there were... To date with the latest firmware I still have not been able to see it) even in situations of strong contrast. Compared to the 5D Mk III It is really a pleasure to have such a "permissive" sensor; --Ring on RF Optics: Convenient, for now we change the ISO; --Custom mode: can be memorized 3 for the photographic part and 3 for the video part; --RF 24-105: I took it to replace the 24-105 Mk I and there is an abyss in terms of sharpness already at F/4. Along with the 16-35 F/4 will look great in my backpack while traveling. The build quality is excellent and I appreciate that trivial but lovable little key to keep the optics closed; --Adapter: I bought the one with the ring nut and all the optics are fine, much better than with the 5D MkIII. I have yet to try the EF 70-300mm F/4-5.6 IS USM... Not a great optics I know... But I hope that for a little longer it behaves worthily; |
sent on May 11, 2019 Pros: Construction, photo rendition, high ISO output, colours, body grip, adjustable screen, EVF, price. Cons: At the moment a few native optics. Opinion: Definitely a car that initially hit me only in part and then only later convinced me to purchase. I have used several home cameras Canon (100D, 7D, 5D, 6D) and my idea was to replace the 6D with a 5D mark IV because the yield of the 5D mark IV I always liked but I never decided to 100% to make the switch. I then opted for the R following an offer in a store of the large distribution that allowed me to buy it in KIT with "smooth" adapter without VAT at a very interesting price and much lower than a 5D mark IV. Assuming that I didn't consider other mirrorless but I always thought of staying in Canon's home, the only viable option was the R, I loved the yield, the sensor is the same as the 5D mark IV, so I have the same yield but with less expense and with Pros and cons of the mirrorless world. I noticed that the battery consumption is relatively + high but nothing tragic, I can still do much more photos than stated by Canon, in an event I took 540 photos at the highest resolution, all TO the servo with a consumption of 30% of battery.. Canon from a battery for 300 shots... Do you reckon;)) Personally I still have 4 other batteries besides the one supplied with the machine and I can safely do all the necessary shots before I stay on foot. And in any case you can always opt for the battery grip if necessary. The single SD slot for me is not at all a problem, it was so even on the 6D and I never created any problems of any kind, the new SD cards are still very reliable so I'm quiet. It is not the most compact of mirrorless but it is really good and comfortable even with heavy optics. At the moment I recommend the purchase? Surely you, because you have a car with a great yield, a nice EVF and all the pros of the world mirrorless. I am not in the least regretted not having taken the 5D Mark IV even though I have to use the adapters for the EF optics, but these do not at all lose the yield they have on a reflex. I will gradually replace my EF optics with RF equivalents, as I have already done for the 24-70 with the RF 24-105 rated 10/10 (I'll update later on my review after further use) |
sent on April 18, 2019 Pros: Customizable commands, details, micro-contrast, dimensions, MAF Cons: Flap Card Opinion: I come from a 5D mk3 and I must say that the differences are many, without obviously speaking of the purely physical/aesthetic aspect that is discounted. The yield of RAw files I like a lot and satisfies me a lot, are extremely detailed (much more than the Mk3) and saturated to the right point; The shades are those to which Canon accustomed us and the machinability is increased while maintaining the same "stamp" 5D. Excellent of course the high ISO yield, now the shots at 12,800 ISO are workable and usable without major problems. The grain that, if you want to leave, emerges is pleasant and recalls the times of film. In general, the greatest value that I have found is the ability to customize every single key and every single ring, everything can be assigned and placed in the right place for each of US!!!! On the MAF I read in the various forums and reviews that is not up to the Sony but I can assure anyone who is in doubt, that for the photographic use of an advanced amateur, and even beyond, is perfect and not wrong a shot!!! Negative, purely personal, is the door of the SD card, seems very delicate and little weather sealed compared to the 5d Mk3..... Let's hope it's just an impression. In conclusion The machine satisfies me, the sensor is at the top of the category and especially fun! I like to carry it around my neck and I like to use manual lenses with MAF with the use of focus peaking... I'm a real blast!!! Today I also upgraded the Firmware to version 1.2.0 and now I also have the Eye Detection in chase mode!!! |
sent on April 01, 2019 Pros: Color rendition, compactness, sensor protection from dust Cons: Electronic viewfinder, possible lag, machine unsuitable for professional use Opinion: Of Canon R I appreciate the good balance of white and above all the excellent and natural rendition of the complexion: it has a sensor that lends itself optimally to portraiture. Pretty good yield to high ISO but better not to go over the 6400. Excellent (indeed indispensable) the curtain of protection of the sensor from dust, which made me prefer the R to the RP and to the Nikon ML: For those who often change the objectives of the curtain remains used mummy could be considered an indispensable factor in an ML with the Sensor without the mirror protector. Appreciable the system in its overall compactness, the ' Corpaccioni ' of the reflex in its presence appear obsolete; In this respect, however, the combination with the bulky 24-104 does not convince me fully, I find that the machine is better balanced with compact fixed optics: The body with three fixed lenses and the excellent and compact EF 70-300 USM II, all contained in a small Bag, they can represent a light system but at the same time complete and versatile. I Know that the fans of the ML will not agree, but I find that the digital viewfinder is still largely inadequate compared to the optical (for example compared with the wonderful one of the Nikon D850): The vision on digital is annoyingly contrased, Unnatural, with artimade and dominant colors evident above all in the sunlight; There is-in practice-to shoot with a sense of unpleasant approximation compared to what will be the actual result, with good peace of who argues that the mirrorless allow to see in the viewfinder exactly the end result (perhaps in ten years, today Definitely not). However I realise that it is a matter of personal preference, and that there may be those who prefer to see the effects of the settings (such as over and under exposure, white balance, etc.) directly in the viewfinder at the expense of a sharp vision and Precise: I personally believe that if the photographer has enough "handle" and knows his camera adequately, while shooting knows well what result he gets even if he sees it ' rebuilt ' in the optical viewfinder, benefiting from a perfect and unparalleled vision ( Time) from the digital viewfinder. Some greater usefulness of the electronic viewfinder can be with little light and indoors, where you can appreciate the vision at high ISO. I also happened in certain circumstances to find a lag in the viewfinder moving quickly the camera body. The machine is made with quality materials and appears robust. He is very well-wield; As a disposition of the controls and immediacy of use I prefer the Nikon, but it is only a matter of habit being this my first Canon. The AF is normal. The Life of the battery does not seem wicked, being an ML: if you want there is the battery Grip BG-E22, but also with a simple battery (original) stock tucked in the bag a normal amateur photographer-like me-can be absolutely quiet. Ultimately, you feel you have a well-made product in your hand, but it is still an object for consumer use: Reflex Admirals still belong to another planet in terms of ergonomics, reliability, usability and performance. The R, although Cavandosela discreetly even with sports photos and action, is not born for this: its Land of choice is the street or hiking landscape where they are important lightness, compactness and transportability. It also Gives good satisfaction in portraits. |
sent on March 26, 2019 Pros: Ergonomics, electronic viewfinder, fire Cons: Single slot, 4k video, filter A.A., burst in AF servo Opinion: I Want to specify that I come from the Mk2 7D and write this review because I am very happy with the newcomer EOS R! I want to emphasize that the 7D Mk2 churns out excellent raw and has the performance of focus and burst absolutely enviable. The 5D Mk4, in comparison, is a SLOTH! With the EOS R, the Canon has done its job well with buttons and ergonomics. Even for those who have big hands like mine, will find the grip very comfortable, even with traditional optics ef "Pesantucce". The situation changes when you mount an external flash because it makes, in my opinion, a little unbalanced. The fact that it is light, however, makes it more enjoyable to use in all other situations. The keys were arranged in a very clever way! For those coming from a traditional reflex, will warn that the keys are not many but are set with combinations that allow you to get to set a little ' everything without wasting time. Moreover, they are also customizable thanks to a large number of presets provided for each key. The Touchbar is very entertaining and daring as a choice, in fact it is very entertaining but dangerous. I put the balance of white because it happens easily to change it accidentally, at least, so, if I change the balance accidentally I notice at a glance and return to place without doing damage to the photo. What about the EVF!? Believe the reviews because it's really great! You can also set what to display and not, separately from the display, also this customizable in the info, both in the phase of shooting and displaying the photos. I'd Say it's even better than the traditional one! Let's Move on to the main things: Raw and Af. I also recovered 5 stops of high lights at 400iso! That says it all! The RAW file that churn is really workability and is high quality! With a little bit of PP, I feel like working quietly up to 12800iso with good sharpness. However, I also worked at 25600iso. The image is quite rough but it is passable... In The Full HD video I stop A16000iso. Unfortunately, let's face it, the Sony 7 Mk3, with the backlit sensor, does better... The R-sensor yield seems to me the same as the 5D Mk4 and it seems to me that Canon did not want to develop a new sensor for the ML. For my needs I'm okay with that! I Hope for Canon that you decide to cope with the Sony sensors. For me that I come from a traditional af with the cons..... (more than 10fps in AF-Servo), I must say that the EOS R is still phenomenal! It is very different as a system and I must get used to it but it is really fast! I also used it in extreme situations like "disco" and managed to focus! It took Us a long time, but he did it. THE Mk2 7D would have done better! I still Think that the AF of R has nothing to envy to Sony! Except for the gust, that, the tacking limits to 4 ridiculous shots per second... In MF, the coolest thing of all is the FOCUS PEAKING! As well as zoom while fuocheggi to see us well! All ADJUSTABLE To your LIKING! Double Slolt, it's pointless to tell us, but we all wanted to... Unfortunately Canon has decided to remain a step under the Sony 7 Mk3, even in this respect.... I Hope for Canon that put the double slot to the eventual second series. Finally, if you want to take a 5d Mk4, DON'T do it! Take the R! The Sony Though, is still a step higher, if you just want to upgrade the body without spending a fortune in the outfit, the R is the right purchase. |
sent on March 12, 2019 Pros: AF, viewfinder, RAW quality, display, compactness, performance/adaptability lenses EF Cons: Battery lasts Little Opinion: I come from a 7d and I had always proposed to move to full frame and so I did with the new output in the house Canon. What about, just great. The compatibility with the old EF and EF-S lenses is almost total without a loss of performance on the part of the AF. Make perfect files up to 6400iso after you have to work in PP but not even that much. I shoot mainly in low light situations and I must say that the autofocus behaves very well in any situation, whether it is used the single center point, extended and with recognition of the face with tracking; You don't miss a shot. I put the display is fantastic and gestibeasiest even if you're not used to using it (like me I had the fixed display on the 7d). The battery lasts just over 300 shots, if you also use the WiFi connection with the remote management app, then the battery from the worst of SE... That's why I bought a second battery. I'll put a few shots online as soon as possible. |
sent on March 07, 2019 Pros: First of all the materials, the new RF lenses, the quality of the raw (only that I know by not shooting in JPEG), the general speed in the data processing, perfect compatibility with the old lenses ef, digital viewfinder. But above all the white balance, Canon ah... Like you do no one. Cons: Few for me who are just photographer and not videomaker but actually apart from the crop in 4k that we are sincere... Few can benefit from the 4k nowadays (still early), a good full HD is much more enjoyable. But beyond that I feel to say that the screen tiltabile to forward from fully open is not parallel to the machine of some degree, I do not know but from €2300 more adapter I expected was straight. Patience Opinion: I state that I come from a 5d III, excellent machine but the quality of the file and the speed of everything is below this EPS R. I honestly don't understand why everyone has criticized her. It's a great camera, it's good for photos if you're looking for a camcorder take a camcorder. Often compared with the Sony (A7III) and never having tried it I can not judge but this EOS R does its thing. Only flaw that I feel I blame him apart from the single SD, which I do not feel the need but I understand that the marriage would make good use, is in addition to the price that you pay and salty the screen is not perfect in the mechanism of rotation but are inezze. It was a car does not happen. He makes great pictures. Maybe less sharp than the 5div but the quality understood as noise, colors, workability is exceptional. Even the recoveri from light and shadows are incredible, try to believe they are incredible. I will post on my profile night photos taken with her from 800 ISO to 6400 and do not notice difference after a slight post. Ah, it's not a sports car. Leave the specifics alone and try it out because there is so much substance. |
sent on March 05, 2019 Pros: Ergonomics, material, AF, file, oversize Buffer compared to the Canon 5DIV, customizing the Keys and.... Battery life compared to official data Cons: AF a bit slower with the Canon 100-400 L IS USM II + Canon 1.4 X III compared to my former Canon 5DIV, a bit noisier than the 5DIV, maybe the Joystick but I'm getting used to. Opinion: This morning I did a photo Hunting session from 7:30 to 10:30 I did 1299 shots with Servo AF, of which a 10% from LV and the battery came to 50% I can not figure out how you can saw that Canon the DA for 400shots! I'M glad for everything is coveted video (which I started practicing) that photos of all kinds considering that I am an amateur photographer who does SPORTS, NATURE, PHOTOGRAPHIC HUNTING PORTRAITURE/CEREMONIES and LANDSCAPES. On DJI Ronin-S is simply convenient! Another advantage that the buffer arrives (with the SD in my possession and my settings) to 35 continuous shots in RAW mode against the 13 of the Canon 5D IV. On March 9th I made another photographic hunting session from 7:00 to 10:00 and I did 907 shots and also some footage (a little ' more than the first time) and the battery has dropped two notche. In the afternoon I took pictures at a rugby game I made 387 shots in servo AF and the battery fell a notch, pulling a few sums according to me with a full charge you can get quietly to 1500 shots for sports photos. In one-SHOT mode you can choose whether to have the AF point Normal (large) or small, surely the second solution is the most Carthusian but with little contrast situation sometimes struggling a bit to find the fire, while in the SERVO the point is only great and in situations BirdLife when you aim at the eye is easy to have a portion of the face closest the choice of fire often arrives on the beak of the bird but nothing that can not be solved with a little practice. On the video side the 4K with crop is useful if you make videos of avifauna or animals generally because the focal is multiplied by x 1.8... But the rolling shutter is always around the corner! In many respects I find it a little better than the 5D IV on the AF side for sports or photographic hunting is still a while back. Update of March 20, 2019 on March 18 I made another hunting session shooting from 7:00 to 10:00 with 400 shots made and the battery has dropped two notche so compared to the conclusions I wrote above the consumption of the battery is not only given by the shots Facts but from the time that the camera stays on because having done 3 photographic hunting sessions of 3 hours each day (with shots ranging from 1200, 900 and 400) The battery has always arrived at 50%. With The RF optics you have an advantage in more ie the third ring that can be associated with a function (when it was released this system I thought was another marketing gimmick), I programmed with exposure compensation in both the video and Photographic and I can no longer do without so now I'll buy the adapter ring with the ring nut so I can use this function with the optics adapted. At first I was awkward and slow in movements to change settings, shutter functions, video step and photos etc... Now with the customization of menus and keys, eliminating the functions that I do not use and applying what I am interested in the various buttons, I can really do everything faster, type with a key I do the switch from SERVO to ONE SHOT small point, with another I do The switch from the FACE DETECT function (Ai) to the FIXED POINT, the AF points move them with the 4 directions of the navigation and/or with the upper-left side of the screen using the thumb, the ISO with the TOUCH BAR, the compensation with the new ring on the lens , if I have to do a video on the fly I press the record button that is set based on the storage of the data I programmed on C3-video and if I I tremble the recording the camera returns to photo mode. |
sent on February 22, 2019 Pros: Light, good file, fantastic AF Cons: A joystick button is missing Opinion: Having all the canon my preference in many situations lies in using R. It's very convenient, it's fast and it does everything I need. You can defend perfectly well without too much trouble. Using EF lenses I didn't notice any difference compared to using 1DX Mk2 or 5d Mk4. Maybe with the tele 70/200 loses speed and precision, or maybe it's just my impression. |
sent on February 03, 2019 Pros: Very bright viewfinder ergonomics, menu usage speed, image quality, high ISO Cons: For now no one apart second slot Opinion: Really exciting machine to use in any situation very workable files, but also very good and immediately usable jpegs, put to hard test in the mountains with harsh temperatures the battery lasts enough anyway it always requires batteries of Escort not to stay on foot. With L-series Optics works really well and even with manual optics focus Zeiss is easy to use and produces beautiful files, I must say excellent machine species for fast use and landscaping also excellent for doing weddings without flash and with flash then the tightness to High ISO outstanding. |

sent on January 02, 2019 Pros: Innovative R system, compactness, weight, tropicalization, magnesium body, display, viewfinder, battery usage LP-E6, RAW quality Cons: Lack of second SD slot, stupid ON-OFF button, paid adapter (at least the base) Opinion: After a fairly intensive use but at amateur level, after then about three weeks of hacking, I can express my opinion. I come from 20 years in the world of Canon SLR, both low and professional, first film and then Digital and go to the system ML for me it was really a surprise. Not so much for the absence of the mirror (at the end you do not realize you have in hand an ML if not for the weight and size), but for the system R completely new in all! In previous bodies now I knew the position of the individual keys and in total darkness I could move without hesitation so I do not hide to have a little to learn to maneuver this machine, and especially to customize all its functions! The real discovery has been known that every key (or at least in 95%) is customizable and it is therefore possible to have to his taste the most used functions, even in my case for example the change of the ISO I can do in 3 different ways. I for example I set the bar (brand new) MF. N which is activated on request and the arrow left me immediately the 100 ISO while the right ISO in the car; Instead, the same bar has been set to scroll through the photos when viewing. The only drawback is that the internal viewer "duplicates" the external one, or after a click "show" the photo taken and then is unpathetic the cosa....si obvious by disabling the vision of the photo, but it is not even shown in the main display, if not once Pressed the specific key..... same thing applies to the menu that is shown in the viewer and if you then want to deactivate the sensor that automatically activates or deactivates the switch from the display to the viewfinder you will see forced to maneuver the menu exclusively from the viewfinder If set as Main..... In short, the news compared to a classic body reflex are several and really serves a bit of time, patience and memory to learn them at best. I am satisfied for now, the files are beautiful and better than a 5d4; I do not do videos but if I were to start then I would buy only a dedicated body like a GH5S or a A7S2..... I think they wanted to give the maximum with this body for the photographic use for which the video compartment suffers but this also happens with other "houses" . The button on-OFF is stupid because in my opinion could have another shape and maybe dedicate the same space for another key.... moreover in the dark you do not understand if it is on or off because it does not have a reference being all round so if you have the machine in stand by and In the dark you don't understand if it's on or off. Personal opinion.... The adapter ring in my opinion would have to include it in the box without extra charge, or at least with a minimum price.... €100 are so many for a ring without any function and to be able to use the same goals of Canon home. |
sent on November 11, 2018 Pros: Compact, tough. He falls very well in his hand. Excellent ergonomics. The excellent LCD, viewfinder that, with its almost 4 million pixels, does not make the optical regret. Cons: Single shot. Very true that with the ease of connection to a pad or pc you can download the files immediately, but a double slot would not affect the price on the size surely. Opinion: Usual file quality. The real innovation for me is the speed of the MAF! The detection system of the face plus the chase, it's really remarkable. You bring the car to the eye and you shoot, (!!) without wasting time to move the sensor of the MAF with the joystick or with the wheels, and not even to focus with the central sensor and then recompose the image! Very impressive! |
sent on October 12, 2018 Pros: Magnesium Alloy body, lightness, ergonomics, sensor, digital controller, viewfinder, autofocus, dual pixel Cons: Single SD Card slot Opinion: Purchased last night in Kit with 24-105mm from Fotoluce to Catania. Unboxing exciting... the wait was great...!! The machine body appears immediately pleasant, well balanced in size and shape, already emanates signs of feeling good...! I insert battery and card and go... the adventure begins...! Menu in pure Canon style, neat and precise, everything at the right Point. You have to get used to the lack of the famous wheel, but in return the new Touch bar tactile promises well... He left me immediately amazed at the great quality of the electronic viewfinder, immediately sharp and bright, did not make me regret for the first time the traditional... The focus is, in my opinion, the real horse of battle, last night between the streets of Catania I took some photos with a very critical lighting level and the focus has held, well, proving decidedly precise. A real gem the new Focus Touch assistant that allows you to use the touch as the trackpad to choose the focus point while you are using the eye viewfinder. Nice idea of Canon who chose to protect the sensor by holding the shutter curtain closed when the machine is off. This makes it easier to change optics in an environment that is not always clean. The 24-105mm in kit seems not to disfigure... even with EF-Eos R adapter ring It behaves fine with 85mm f/1.2l II usm, 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM II and 70-200mm f/2.8 l IS ii. From the first tests, I note that the excellent quality of these lenses significantly improves the shot even compared to the new RF 24-105mm f/4l IS USM born just for the new system...! For example, in portraits the rendition of the complexion is maximum! On my profile I created a gallery with these tests... Only flaw, but not that much, the single slot SD Card. I do not do videos, so I can not tell you on the subject...! anyway, Good Canon! Promoted with flying colors!! |
