Canon EOS R Hands-On Review (a very good start, says FroKnowsPhoto, plus DNG files to download)
Jared Polin (aka FroKnosPhoto) posted a 22min hands-on video review about the brand new Canon EOS R.
Here’s [Jared Polin’s] take so far, this camera gets a lot right while still disappointing in some ways. But, I think it’s a very good start and will only lead to better future cameras.
Jare Polin also made a set of 8 Canon EOS R DNG files available (converted from raw). You can download the files (file set 1 | file set 2). Contrary to what some sites are saying, the Canon EOS R does not use the same sensor as the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV. More information about the EOS R raw files in the video below.
Pre-orders for the EOS R will start tomorrow, September 12, 2018, you can get notified by B&H Photo or Adorama when they are available. For pre-order notification at B&H for all new Canon gear announced today see here.

Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III Review by LensRentals
Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III at a glance:
- EF-Mount Lens/Full-Frame Format
- Aperture Range: f/2.8 to f/32
- One Fluorite Element & Five UD Elements
- Air Sphere Coating
- Ring-Type Ultrasonic Motor AF System
- Optical Image Stabilizer
- Internal Focus, Focus Range Limiter
- Weather-Sealed Design, Fluorine Coating

- Rounded 8-Blade Diaphragm
The folks at Lens Rentals reviewed the new Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III. They got a close eye on the improved anti-flare coating of the lens.
From their conclusion:
So is it worth the upgrade? It’s hard to say. The lenses are identical in construction and sharpness, and the reduced flaring works better on a marketing level than in person. If you don’t have a 70-200mm, then this new one would be worth the purchase. But if you already own the version II of this lens, it probably makes a lot of sense to hold on to it, as the used market prices on it will drop once the new version comes more prevalent. But I’d like to know your thoughts – is this new release justified? Or is it just a cash grab by Canon? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
