The Canon EOS R Mirrorless Camera marks Canon’s bold entry into full-frame mirrorless photography, combining a high-resolution 30.3MP Full-Frame CMOS sensor with the powerful DIGIC 8 image processor to deliver stunning image quality, a native ISO range of 100–40000 (expandable to 102400), and rapid 8 fps continuous shooting — all housed in a dust- and moisture-sealed magnesium alloy body built for demanding environments.
Centered on Canon’s revolutionary RF lens mount, the EOS R introduces a new optical ecosystem with a 54mm diameter and 12-pin electronic contact system, while remaining fully compatible with existing EF/EF-S lenses via an optional adapter. Add a 3.69m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder, a 3.15-inch swivel touchscreen, UHD 4K30 video with C-Log and 10-bit 4:2:2 HDMI output, plus built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and the EOS R stands as a complete, future-ready mirrorless system for photographers and videographers alike.
Key features
- 30.3MP Full-Frame CMOS Sensor + DIGIC 8: Delivers exceptional detail, low-light performance up to ISO 102400, and fast 8 fps burst shooting for capturing decisive moments.
- Dual Pixel CMOS AF with 5655 Points: Phase-detection autofocus across the majority of the sensor acquires focus quickly and accurately — even in near-darkness down to EV -6 — keeping moving subjects sharp every time.
- UHD 4K30 Video with C-Log & 10-Bit HDMI Output: Record cinema-quality footage with Canon Log for extended dynamic range, 4K 10-bit 4:2:2 color output over HDMI, and Movie Digital IS to reduce camera shake.
- Canon RF Lens Mount: The wide 54mm diameter and short 20mm flange-back distance enable faster, more compact lens designs, while the 12-pin contact system unlocks advanced AF and image stabilization capabilities.
- 3.69m-Dot OLED EVF & 3.15-inch Swivel Touchscreen: A crystal-clear electronic viewfinder and a fully articulating 2.1m-dot touch LCD give you flexible, precise composition from any angle.
- Wi-Fi, Bluetooth & Multi-Function Bar: Seamless wireless connectivity for instant sharing and remote control, plus a customizable Multi-Function bar and Dual Pixel RAW support for refined in-camera and post-processing control.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Canon EOS R work with existing Canon EF and EF-S lenses?
Yes. While the EOS R uses the new Canon RF mount, it is fully compatible with Canon EF and EF-S lenses through an optional EF-EOS R Mount Adapter, so you can continue using your existing lens collection without any loss of core functionality.
What video features does the Canon EOS R offer?
The EOS R records UHD 4K video at up to 30fps with built-in Canon Log (C-Log) gamma for greater dynamic range, Movie Digital IS for stabilization, and 4K 10-bit 4:2:2 output over HDMI for professional-grade color grading. Movie Servo AF provides smooth, continuous autofocus during video recording.
How capable is the autofocus system on the Canon EOS R in low light?
The Canon EOS R uses Dual Pixel CMOS AF with 5655 selectable phase-detection points spread across a majority of the full-frame sensor. The system is sensitive down to EV -6, making it highly effective in extremely dark shooting conditions where many other autofocus systems struggle.
