ApoTelyt has updated their CAM-parator app with the Canon EOS R. We have pulled the images comparing the Canon EOS R to both the Sony A7 III and Nikon Z6. The Sony looks to be the smallest of the bunch, with the Canon and Nikon being closer in size, but the Canon a slightly larger grip and overall thickness.
Check out the comparisons below.

If af will be fast with adapter on ef mount this will be a great update for 6d 6d2 and 5d3
Hope batery will last 1000 shoots and 2h of 4k recording. This will be very good. No complain here.
And if the DR will be 14 stops...than...we have the best ecosystem.
But the size...ohhh my...the size...it's perfect for using by pro's... Not to big... Not to small...the greep seems to be perfect.
Sony A73 looks like a toy...and it is a toy...let's be honnest.
Any pro photographer will find incomode and uncofortable to use a small size camera.
For videographers...maybe..but for pro photographers...for shure not.
I'v tested all camera sistem and the most confortable and easy to use was canon...eaven with a 12stops DR
One hand camera handeling...this is how it should work any pro camera.
The card door is very claver put it on the camera...look at the nikon...dthe big finger will stay on it...in time... Who knows... This could create problems...and damage the connection...
Also...on Nikon...the exposure compensation button...can be accidentaly touch while shooting ( it is very close to the fire button)
But again... If the ef lenses will af very fast on the new mount with adapter...this will be a winner.
I sow some video with the z7 and adapted nikon g lens...and the af was a little bit laggy.
Something to look forward too.
I'm pretty sure Canon will also do better in the heat with the bigger housing.
This is what a pro mirrorless should look like.
I wouldn't feel bad at all there Mark. If you've got man hands, that dainty little Sony is a joke. I have zero interest in any of these smaller cameras (5D size or similar fits my hands well), but it appears Canon made far better ergonomic choices than Sony.
Speaking of cameras, of course.
2 out of the 3 cameras are meant for actual use, the third one for drooling on the spec-sheets...
We’re reading that Canon didn’t implement IBIS. It seems as though that may not be true, if I read the paper correctly. Canon seems to be solely relying on in-lens optical correction, with reading of the blur image on the sensor as supplemental data to be processed back to that optical corrector. That’s for still.
But for video, they do talk about in body correction used along with the optical correction in the lens. Again, if I’m reading this correctly, and I may or be, there is additional compensation being provided by the sensor in video. In other words, some sort of IBIS.
If true, this is something we’re not reading about, at least, not anything I’ve seen. Again, if true, this is significant. I suggested earlier, somewhere here, that as Apple is doing this in the iPhone, that is, combining both optical and IBIS for better overall correction, then if Canon added IBIS, they could too. So if I’m correct, that’s exactly what they are doing, but only for video.
But if they’re doing this for video, they can do it for still as well, and possibly even for lenses that have no optical IS. It’s hinted at in the paper that possibly in video, lenses without IS will also use this system.
If someone will read that portion of the paper, and come back here and either shoot what I said out, or confirm it, that would be great for all of us.
The stabilisation you refer to is probably not a shaking sensor that is commonly referred to as IBIS but is likely the system used for stabilising video where the image is slightly smaller than the sensor so when the camera 'shakes' a program can follow the image around the sensor ad give a shake-free image. I understand there are issues implementing this for stills.
