Canon EOS R Review by DPReview

canon eos r firmware update

DPReview posted their exhaustive review of the Canon EOS R, and it is not an entirely positive review.

DPReview found a series of things they didn’t like, starting from ergonomics:

Surprisingly for a Canon camera, we’re unimpressed by the EOS R’s ergonomics. The M.Fn Bar is, in its current state, superfluous. The rear dial is too recessed, the buttons are mushy, don’t offer good feedback, and are questionably arranged on the body of the camera. Available customization options are puzzling, with great freedom in some areas and frustrating limitations in others.

From the conclusion:

In the end, it’s perhaps best to look at the EOS R as a case study for the future benefits of the RF system; all native lenses released so far are of very high quality, plus Canon offers a total of three EF lens adapters depending on your needs. But unfortunately, we find it difficult to recommend the EOS R to the broader public besides perhaps existing Canon users looking for a second, lightweight full-frame body. Because ultimately, while the EOS R is unequivocally capable of taking beautiful photos, it too often distracted us and pulled us out of the picture-taking process instead of becoming an invisible part of the process itself, as the best cameras do.

Canon EOS R Overview and Hands-On Review (D. Abbott)

canon eos r firmware update

In anticipation of the full review, photographer and reviewer Dustin Abbott posted a neat 23 minutes video about his impressions with the new Canon EOS R.

He says:

There are things I love about the EOS R (fantastic fully articulating touchscreen, great grip, new control ring on lenses), but also a few missing pieces (no in-body-image-stabilization and burst rate is unimpressive).  The camera shows great potential for focus, however, with incredibly fast focus speeds with the new RF 24-105mm f/4L IS.  The new 24-105L kit lens is a clear improvement over previous 24-105mm lenses, and the EOS R also focuses very quickly and naturally with adapted EF mount lenses.

Sample images can be seen here.
