Maybe a bit provocative title of my review of the EOS R. I have it in use since almost 3 weeks now. I am really excited about this camera!
Here is my verdict:
Wow, what a camera... It delivers all what I expected to get. Using the EOS M5 since almost 2 years as my main travel camera I knew that Canon is delivering great gear on the mirrorless side as well. Therefore the R is definitely the next level for my "always with me travel camera"! The great thing is that it delivers those features which I missed mostly on the M5:Better low light performance and more bokeh and that's just related to sensor size. And weather sealing... But unfortunately the first RF-mount lens to come will be the 35mm f1.8 - and this one comes without weather sealing...
The EOS-R is a remarkable camera. Tt can be a work horse for all "normal" needs - and I believe for working professionals as well. I would think it will become a believed camera for travel photographers, who do want to be a bit more discrete and do won't to carry less.
For many topics which are critizised in the online community there are workarounds or solutions built in which are made pretty awesome. But you have to figure them out and maybe to learn how to use them....
I do expect more glass for the RF mount. And the list if the expected glass to come is impressive:
And therefore: i am happy to have it and to use it in the future....

I do expect more glass for the RF mount. And the list if the expected glass to come is impressive:
- Zooms: the holy trinity is more ore less confirmed to come in 2019
- 16-35mm f2.8
- 24-70mm f 2.8 - as IS-Lens!
- 70-200mm f 2.8
- I do expect a new Super Zoom lens... like the 28-300mm
- Prime Lenses are rumored to come in late 2019 or early 2020 as well
- 24 mm f1.2
- 85mm f 12.
And therefore: i am happy to have it and to use it in the future....
