The first step in Canon's mirrorless evolution, the EOS R
pairs a redeveloped lens mount and updated full-frame image sensor for a
unique and sophisticated multimedia camera system. Revolving around the
new RF lens mount, the EOS R is poised to be the means from which to
make the most of a new series of lenses and optical technologies.
Focusing
on the camera itself, the EOS R features a high-resolution 30.3MP
full-frame CMOS sensor along with a DIGIC 8 image processor. The
combination of these technologies offers a wide sensitivity range up to a
native ISO 40000, fast continuous shooting to 8 fps, and UHD 4K30 video
recording.
In addition to imaging, the sensor
also facilitates an advanced Dual Pixel CMOS AF system, which uses 5655
selectable points for quickly and accurately acquiring focus. This
focusing system is also sensitive down to EV -6 for working in
impressively dark conditions. The AF system is also perfectly matched to
the UHD 4K video recording capabilities, which are also rounded out by
Movie Digital IS to minimize camera shake, built-in Canon Log gamma for a
greater dynamic range, and 4K 10-bit 4:2:2 output over HDMI for even
greater color control.
Beyond the performance
attributes, this camera has been designed from the ground up and
features a high-resolution 3.69m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder for
clear and bright eye-level viewing. Conversely, a rear 3.15" 2.1m-dot
LCD touchscreen is also featured, and has a swivel design to suit
working from high and low angles. Also catering to the tactile cravings
is a Multi-Function bar, which is customizable for intuitively adjusting
shooting settings. And as a camera built to withstand the toughest
environments, the magnesium alloy body is dust and moisture-sealed.
