More than that, they gain parameter functionality with ring control. Beautiful, innovative and most of all useful!There is no good reason why EF lens performance should degrade on a RF body, but EF lenses will not inherit new features that depend on the RF mount. (faster AF protocol (?), closing aperture blades when camera off, ... (?) .
2012. It is six (6) years "only".
The reality is that Canon (and Nikon) are about 10 years late with mirrorless.
Great question... It is almost as if they finally solved lens filter questions but at the same time created the problem once again!If the EF adopter offers rear drop in lenses, then rear dropin lenses are not possible on the new RF lenses - might future RF lenses want to offer rear drop in lenses?
Well since the top and bottom lines of the 4K crop are quite close together, one would expect significantly less rolling shutter than if the entire sensor were used. While it is annoying to have such a heavy crop, the crop does effectively reduce rolling shutter and may be an artifact of Canon’s sensor design not being able to output data fast enough. This will likely improve in the near future!The AF looks impressive but the fps lets it down from the fine print. 4k is great, especially with 10 bit 4:2:2 hdmi out, but it's heavily cropped, so kinda limits things overall. Rolling shutter sounds like it is an issue too?

Some of the specs that I had to comb through various pages
AF at up to f/11
When using the RF 24-105mm F4 L IS USM lens with the EOS R, the camera can focus in as little as 0.05 seconds with Dual Pixel CMOS AF
MF peaking
This will likely improve in the near future!
According this it looks like fully electronic shutter to me http://learn.usa.canon.com/resource...r-whatsnew-silentshutter.shtml?categoryId=121....
Shutter it says silent shutter but does not say electronic shutter
....
What the EOS R does differently when you activate Silent Shutter is that the mechanical shutter blades remain fully open, and do not move. Instead, the shutter itself electronically stops actual image recording, scanning its surface again after the initial scanning action has begun capture of light and image detail. Because this is happening within the CMOS image sensor, it can be totally silent.
But to achieve this, the EOS R has some distinct limitations, and EOS users who work with the camera need to be aware of them. If you activate the Silent Shutter, there are some things no longer possible (turning Silent Shutter to “disable” makes all the following available again):
Finally, the nature of how Silent Shutter’s in-sensor scanning takes place means that you can encounter some visual distortion with fast-moving subjects. So Silent Shutter images may work well for capturing that instant when a golfer’s back-swing reaches its apex, with the club wound behind the golfer’s shoulders. But if you instead try to capture the moment when his or her club is at full speed, striking the ball, the club’s shaft and possibly even the golfer’s arms may appear distorted. Obviously, reverting to ordinary shutter operation by disabling Silent Shutter will help minimize or eliminate any such problems.
- No continuous shooting (single-frame shooting only)
- Flash photography is impossible, even with Canon Speedlites; third-party devices like radio triggers will not receive a sync signal from the camera’s hot shoe, or from the PC socket on the accessory Canon battery grip for the EOS R
I'll just mention a couple things that stood out like focus peaking and display of distance information. My big unknown now is: DR at ISO 100 for stills.
...but with what I see here I'm starting to think that the mirrored dslr is going to be phased out quicker than I thought...
