Pros: Image quality, dynamic range, autofocus

Cons: Ergonomics, lack of second memory slot, sensor not stabilized.

Opinion: After about two months of use I make the comparison with the previous camera, Panasonic G9, for the benefit, I hope, of those who are thinking of making the transition from an advanced micro 4/3 to this FF. I say right away that the EOS R comes out defeated for a lot of things: ergonomics, understood above all as the number and arrangement of the buttons, lack of the joystick, absurd forced ignition with the left hand, absence of the physical button to change AF mode; on the function side, the lack of the double slot, the sensor not stabilized, and I leave out the differences on the video side because personally they have a marginal importance, but even here there is an abyss. The G9 is, in all respects, a flagship that fears no comparison with any camera in terms of ergonomics and functions, an enormous versatility that justifies its volume and weight. So I made a sensational leap backwards? Yes, for almost everything. After that, once I have become familiar with at least the basic functions necessary for me, I look at the final product of the EOS R, which is the substance: the files. And here the music changes, The EOS R shows warm and three-dimensional 30M RAW, that typical Canon color that I have always loved and admired to canonists. A fine but not hyper-sharp detail, very nice for portraits. Then an excellent AF management, even if less functionally evolved than the G9; a dynamic range that before I could only dream of, testifying to the fact that with the FF you can have a high quality even if you make mistakes, within certain limits. The micro 4/3, as we know, is much less forgiving, so it remains a formidable gym But after 10 years I felt the need to change, without regret.

Pros: Iconic: the first R that defines a new CANON standard

Cons: At today's prices nothing

Opinion: The Canon EOS R is a camera that marked Canon's entry into this segment, it was a bet that CANON could not miss and recent history is proving it right. A project that starts from the RF lenses and its new mount that is able to transmit much more data to the camera than EF systems. In 2018 Canon decided to use the most advanced FF processor it had available without "risking" a dedicated sensor, the choice was to maintain at least one fixed point. This specificity means that the R is defined as a "hybrid" machine of transition between the REFLEX and MIRROLESS systems. For some, this is a limit that defines the R as an unfinished one. For me, however, after trying it I can say that you find yourself in your hands a little jewel, a splendid creature that mounts the sensor of the emblazoned 30 mb dual pixel 5DmkIV with a DIGIC 8 processor, so much quality. Super defined, three-dimensional and balanced files, amazing performance with RF STM lenses with the 35 1.8 in particular. Amazing that it manages to manage the EF L series and compatible with adapter, improving them in everything, incredible. I don't want to make comparisons with hyper PRO series such as R1 and R3, excluding these among all that remains in the CANON house, I believe that the R is overall second only to the R5 which, however, costs more than double. Among the criticisms of the R emerges a negative judgment on its use for sports or birdlife photos due to a "slow" gust. 8FPS is still a lot of stuff and for me, used to looking for the single shot, more than enough for sports and birdlife. Personally I shot in both contexts mounting a 100 - 400 EF L with adapter and did practically nothing wrong. I filmed the special World Cup slalom in Kitzbuhel under the snow mixed with rain and I was satisfied with the photographic quality that I found at home using a maximum of 4 shots in sequence per frame. If you need to systematically go further, in my opinion you leave the field of photography to enter that of video. All this said, if you are looking for a MIRRORLESS at CANON and you don't want to make a mute, the R will not disappoint you in anything. However, they remain owners of the first of a new series and the first ones you know always have something special. Have fun.

Pros: Construction Quality RAW files, Canon colors

Cons: slow , even for the year of release , ergonomics

Opinion: Socket used a couple of years ago to replace the 6dII. I am basically fine . I use it, mainly, with the old EF 20 mm f2.8 lenses, EF 35 mm f 2 and 85 f 1.8 and I get really very beautiful files, with a vintage air that I look for, in particular, in meditated photos, natural and urban landscapes portraits etc. It's everything, except a perfect machine, ergonomics, in particular the absurd slidebar for which use takes more time than for a normal dial, a few buttons positioned in an imaginative way The use is slow both in software and hardware, gust so slow that it borders on the ridiculous, it was a machine made in a hurry, it had to go out and out, with all its defects. Defects remedied from the R6 onwards. It remains, however, a camera that churns out beautiful photographs, with very workable files, the 30 mpx that I prefer to the 45 of the R5, that typical Canon rendering that modern cameras coupled with modern lenses, have lost along the way to my taste. For work I use R6 and R6 II, for my personal things, it will stay with me until death do us part. Let's talk about autofocus which, although not comparable to recent ones, behaves very well. For what technology offers today, the only area in which I do not use it is sports photography, for the rest, considering the price of second-hand, to be taken without thinking too much. For the video, I do not express myself, I make so few that my opinion is not important.

Pros: 5dm4 sensor, raw quality, 30mpx, AF, LCD and superior display

Cons: unfortunate angle of the AF-ON button, 1.8x crop in video, lack of body stabilizer (for those who need it)

Opinion: After a couple of years of amateur use I think I can make an objective review. I found the transition a bit difficult ergonomically speaking, coming from the 5DM3 that I had been using for years, but it is easy to get used to the more compact and lighter body, also thanks to the wide customization of the buttons and the ability to move the focus point simply by dragging your finger on the LCD while looking through the viewfinder. A little more complex to get used to the touchbar that I had initially forced myself to use for ISO adjustment, with the hope of getting used to it, but it was not so. I often happened to touch it without realizing it, so I then inserted the block that allows the change of values only after pressing it for 2 sec but I found it extremely uncomfortable, finally, discovered the PV mode, I assigned it to secondary functions and I live happily like this. for general use the camera adapts to practically everything, although many criticize the AF system I must say that it has never made me despair and I have always taken the shots home even in "sporting" situations (tennis, cycling, volleyball, at an amateur level) despite the burst is not at the level of the later models. In landscape, portraits and macro I would say that it gives the best of itself and anyway there are, in my opinion, no cameras with a better quality / price ratio. Defects? There are those who say that with heavy and long lenses, e.g. EF 70-200 f/2.8 + adapter, it is too unbalanced forward, but equipping it with battery grip the "problem" is greatly mitigated. the 1.8x crop factor in video certainly makes you turn up your nose and you can't say that it is a mirrorless designed for videomakers, but I must say that with the RF 16mm you have a good 2.8 and a decent focal distance for shooting. Finally, the big "lack" could be the stabilization, introduced in later models and the single SD slot, but a professional who needs these features orients himself on other camera bodies

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.
