For years people were waiting for this phenomenal moment and today, it is finally happening! Canon has released its first full-frame mirrorless camera and lenses and people are psyched!
Speculations were made about full-frame mirrorless cameras by other renowned brands but no one saw it happening. And then, few months back, a rumor sprung about how Canon is taking this technology seriously. And they finally did it!
Both camera and lens system are names EOS R.
Let’s get down to serious details, shall we?
EOS R has a full-frame sensor which is of 30.3 megapixels. The sensor has an ISO ranging between 100 and 40,000. The camera consists of a segmented touch-screen along with an OLED electronic viewfinder. Other than that, the top of the camera consists of an information panel. Canon’s DIGIC 8 image processor and EOS R’s sensor are paired together.
Talking about the body of the camera, it is similar to a DSLR, only slender.
The intriguing factor, you ask? Canon has given us plenty.
EOS R does not follow the traditional controls that other Canon cameras previously functioned on. Settings like aperture can be set from the lens itself, thanks to the control rings that are installed for lenses alone. You can zoom in and out as well as manually focus with the dials present on the lenses.
What’s really catching everyone’s attention is when the camera is turned off and the lens is removed, the shutter automatically shuts itself and hence the sensor in the camera remains protected. A user has said, “It may sound pretty easy, but no other company has really done it. And I’m not so sure why.”
Now, let’s talk about EOS R lens system.
The lenses are:
1. 24-105mm f/4 L
2. 50mm f/1.2mm L
3. 28-70mm f/2 L
4. 35mm f/1.8 macro
The camera will come under the price range of $2,299. This price is for body only. The price will become $3,399 when a 24-105mm f/4 L is bought with it.
It will be up for sale from late October. Though, it is available for pre-order from 12th September.
