Canon Mirrorless Full Frame Review

Only in 2018 did the big players decide to enter the fray as canon nikon and panasonic all announced mirrorless cameras with full frame sensors.

Canon mirrorless full frame review.

World s best mirrorless camera. Canon had a bit of an identity crisis making the switch to full frame mirrorless with the throttled budget rp and good but not very competitive eos r. Canon says the shorter rf lens mount will allow them to design better or smaller lenses than they can for the existing ef mount. It s built around the same 30 megapixel dual pixel cmos sensor as 2016 s eos 5d mark iv but is designed for a new series of rf lenses.

Canon eos r5 full review sample image files. The canon eos r is the first full frame mirrorless camera to use the new rf mount. 45 mp full frame 12 20 fps 8k one cfexpress and one sd card slot 25 5 oz 723g with battery and one sd card. Which means that if you re an advanced canon photographer looking to move to mirrorless you don t have many options.

Traditionally full frame sensors were found only in the heftier shells of dslr cameras until sony launched the first mirrorless full frame model the alpha a7 back in 2013. Compared to the full frame canon eos 6d mark ii dslr left the mirrorless canon eos rp is incredibly compact at half the size like the eos r there is a bit of a disconnect between the smaller consumer grade body and the much larger pro grade lenses that truly dwarf the eos rp. While it may be designed as an entry level mirrorless camera the canon rp not only delivers the benefits of an advanced full frame cmos sensor but features a bright oled electronic viewfinder with 100 coverage fast and precise autofocus and a myriad of live view functions. Canon s new full frame mirrorless rf system looked incredibly promising but it got off to a rough start with the launch of the eos r a camera that was missing key features next to rival models.

Not much mention of the great flip out rotating touch screen which has a great feel is super easy to use and is a much better design than nearly anything else other full frame mirrorless cams.
