Has The Photography World Changed Forever Since Canon and Nikon Announced Their FF MILCs?

canon

That’s what Jared Polin (aka FroKnowsPhoto) is asking.

I doubt it did, and that it will do.

Canon’s EOS R and Nikon’s Z6/7 new full frame mirrorless cameras while being exciting pieces of gear are not even close to revolutionary. We’ll see if these new FF MILCs will change the game.

Image Quality Comparison: Canon EOS R vs EOS 5D4 vs EOS 6D2 vs Sony a7III vs Sony a7RIII

canon eos r firmware update

Tony & Chelsea Northrup compared the image quality of the new Canon EOS R with its siblings, the EOS 5D Mark IV and EOS 6D Mark II, and with the Sony a7 III and Sony a7R III.

The Canon EOS R definitely has a better image quality than the Sony a7 III in most conditions, with noticeably sharper images, even at high ISOs. However, the dynamic range of the EOS R has issues in shape of heavy banding when recovering shadows. This issue did not surface on the EOS 5D Mark IV (which one more times shows the EOS R does not have the same sensor as the 5D4). Dynamic range of the EOS R sensor is better than the Canon 6D Mark II.


Pre-orders for the Canon EOS R are live. Shipping is expected to start in October 2018.
