Canon EOS R 30.3MP Mirrorless Full Frame Digital Camera Body Bundle with Battery Grip, 64GB Memory Card, Backpack, Microphone, Monopod, LED Light, Editing Suite, Cleaning Kit, Tripod and Battery

Five stars without question. If you know the camera's strengths and weaknesses going in and keep an open mind, this is a fantastic camera that doesn't disappoint.We currently own a 40D, 70D, 7D MKII, and 5D MK4. Primary lenses used are 100-400L IS II, 70-200 F2.8 II, 24-105L F4, 100L F2.8 Macro, 10-22, and 17-55 F2.8, plus other randoms.Hells Yeah!-The build and feel of the camera is excellent. The buttons 'snick' just so, the dials 'click-click-click' just as they should. I've read other reviews that stated that the body had a cheap feel in comparison to other Canon builds. I disagree. The EOS-R feels just as solid as my 'tank' 5D4, just in a different way.-The electronic viewfinder is something that should be on all cameras. Period. I love it. This is my first experience with this type viewfinder. It's fantastic to be able to make adjustments to your settings without taking your eye from the viewfinder and immediately see the actual impact of those adjustments to your image before you release the 'shutter'. It has made my life a whole lot easier.-Image quality is on par with my 5D4. I had the opportunity to have both cameras with me when I came upon a Barred Owl. The light was horrible, but I was able to get within 30 feet or so of the subject and was able to take multiple photos of the owl using the 100-400L IS II with/without my 1.4X III teleconvertor attached. Side by side, photos taken from the exact same position, and you can't tell the difference. In this particular situation the EOS-R actually did a better job because of the next point below.-Low light performance is excellent. Shooting the above mentioned owl at ISO 12,800 resulted in no visible noise whatsoever, whereas the 5D4 shooting ISO 6400 actually produced more grain. I haven't had a chance to get either RAW into DxO to see what they look like PP, but I was very impressed with the proofs.-It's noticeably lighter than my 5D4 even with the grip installed (I have Canon Grips on all my cameras with the exception of the 40D). Having said that, 90% of the time I have a 100-400L IS II w/1.4X III attached to one of the listed bodies so weight has never really been a consideration for me when purchasing a camera. I'm so used to carrying a 6 pound camera a few ounces one way or the other isn't a deal breaker.-The flip out screen is excellent. The 5D4 should have this. I understand that it would be a problem considering the weather sealing attributes of the magnesium body, but it's a excellent feature. My wife's 70D has one, but I've never used it because my go-to crop body is the 7D MKII.-Dragging the focus point to where you want it is magic. Faster than the button-then-joystick on my 5D4. Much faster.-You will never hit the bottom of the buffer. Unlike the 5D4, this thing is bottomless.-I don't miss my wheel or joystick. I thought I would, but this setup fell naturally to hand. Time will tell.Hells Naw!-The 100-400L IS II, both with and without the 1.4X III is slow to auto focus. No other way to say it. Switching from AI Servo (my constant) to One Shot speeds things up noticeably, but it's still slow compared to my 5D4 or 7D MKII. It's not a show-stopper because once you experience it you learn to compensate for it. Birds in flight are very possible and the results are outstanding, but the 5D4 is better.-The multi-function Bar. It's not that it gets in the way (I read this complaint and held the camera in my hand and wondered what the hell your thumb would be doing up there to begin with). My complaint is what to do with it? I bought the upgraded adapter that allows you to support non-RF lenses with the same type program ability and I use that feature to adjust ISO. That leaves me with few other options for the 'slide-and-tap' ability of the multi-function slider. If it would allow on-the-fly switching between modes (Tv/Av/M etc) it would be golden. Hopefully a future firmware update my add more flexibility, but I'm not done sorting out my layout yet so this one falls in the 'whatever' category for now.-Battery life is dismal (by comparison) unless you switch things over to power saving mode, then it's comparable to everything else I own. So far I've been using the screen quite a bit so naturally I pay the price in battery life. Does it matter to me? No. Not at all. I bought the grip so I'm good to go with a two battery load-out. I also have a stack of spare batteries. For someone trying to live off a single battery, depending what you do, it could be a problem. Batteries are cheap.That's it. I was very leery of this camera, but then I came across a bundle for $2299 and it included the camera (on sale $1999) the adjustable adapter ring ($199), three extra Canon batteries ($180), an imitation Gorilla Pod ($60 and worth it), a decent hot shoe LED light ($65), and a small backpack-type carry bag ($60 and worth it) plus some other things that I likely will never use. It also gave me a full copy of Aurora HDR 2019 ($99) which was a decent surprise. So $2,300 for $2,700 worth of usable stuff and a fantastic mirrorless camera.For me, this is an amazing camera at a fair price (on sale). Lots of folks talk about the advantages of the Sony or other mirrorless cameras but their lens offerings are weak, weak, weak. For me, the Canon was the only option due to my lens inventory - that, and the price drop + the bundle made the decision easy. I'm am 100% happy with the camera. I read a lot of reviews and I agree with one thing most of the reviews find - this camera has some growing to do depending on what you want to use it for. As a companion to my 5D4 it exceeds my expectations. As a replacement for my 5D4 I would be on the happy side of disappointed, but just barely.

Canon has done an excellent job with the EOS R camera. It performs well in every way and is very high quality. I’m glad I’m coming from a 6D mark 1 rather than a 5D mark 4 because I think it makes me more objective about the EOS R’s functionality. So, I’m not angry with Canon because they didn’t make a mirrorless 1D or 5D with the same layout as the old cameras.I love the flip out screen and how well it works as a touch screen. And contrary to other reviewers, I love the touch bar feature. It works excellently for reviewing pictures in camera. It is very sensitive to the touch and makes it easy to move back and forth in the review mode. It is also easier than swiping left and right because it takes less effort. You just simply tap the button and the picture advances. Canon probably should have marketed it for this purpose and people would have been fine with it. I see it as another innovation that people have to adjust to. It is a new camera that stands on its own with its own unique qualities. Users need to be open-minded and find new ways to use the camera.

focus is amazingly fast and pretty accurate at determining the subject of the shot (using a canon 50mm f1.4 lens) just dont record video without an external mic because the in body mics pick up the sound of the lens constantly adjusting which can get annoying. quality of the shots on the full frame sensor more than meet expectation for the price. touch screen is pretty laggy but im coming from a canon 7D so im used to using the buttons. body is low profile but has ample grip. its a pleasure to use this for work and i plan to make it my new work horse camera.

Out of the box image quality is fantastic. I did end up changing a few settings but the amount of custom controls that can be personalized is way more then any other mirrorless or DSLR I’ve worked with. Used this on a trip to Southeast Alaska. The size without the battery grip is amazing to bring along just in case but nice to have a grip if you know you’ll be shooting all day.

I have been looking to buy a new camera and when I decided to buy this one, I was hesitant if it would be as good as my Mark iii. I absolutely love it, the autofocus is great and the picture quality is absolutely perfect.
