Canon recently introduced their first entry into the full frame mirrorless segment – the Canon EOS R – thereby launching a fresh system with a new mount and interesting accents in body and lens design. The Canon EOS R launched with four RF lenses for its native, newly designed R mount and three adapters. Video Features Apart from shooting 30.3 MP stills in a newly designed RAW format, the Canon EOS R shoots 4k UHD up to 30p, in a hefty ALL-I 480 Mbps H.264 codec or 60p in 1080p, to a single UHS-II SD card slot. Higher frame rates of 120p can also be achieved, albeit in 720p only. The Canon EOS R shoots 8bit 4:2:0 internally, but is able to output 10bit 4:2:2 over HDMI. Canon’s log profile C-Log is on board and so is Rec.2020 recording for HDR purposes. Shooting 4k, the camera will crop into about an x1.75 crop. The sensor is not technically IBIS stabilized, there is however, a Digital IS option available including gyro stabilisation. The Canon EOS R also sports Canon’s popular Dual Pixel AF, Touch and Drag AF by touch, focus peaking and the Dual Pixel Focus Guide, helping shooters to focus manually. As with most hybrid shooters, there is a 30 minute recording time limit. Here’s an overview: 4k UHD 30p, 1080p 60p, 720p 120p in H.264 up to 480 Mbps x1.75 crop in 4k Internal 8bit 4:2:0, output over HDMI in 10bit 4:2:2 C-Log and Rec.2020 Digital IS (not sensor)...
