The new EOS R System comprises a newly created EOS R full-frame mirrorless camera, four dedicated RF lenses, three types of RF mount adapters and battery grip.

Ideal for enthusiasts and professionals, the EOS R offers the lightness of Canon’s mirrorless range with functions of its high-end DSLRs. Providing users with enhanced flexibility and sophisticated imaging technology to explore creativity further, the EOS R has also been designed to be extremely user friendly.

The revolutionary RF mount technology system which is at the heart of the new EOS R camera features a 54mm diameter RF mount and flange focal distance of 20mm that enables greater capability in designing lenses. The EOS R is also the first camera to have 12-pin connection which enables high-speed communication system between lens and camera for improved focusing, zooming, aperture setting to achieve stunning image quality. These, together with its 30.3 megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor, enables the camera to deliver unparalleled and consistent high-quality imagery.

Ensuring EOS R users will be able to capture fleeting moments, the camera boasts the world’s fastest auto focus speed of 0.05 seconds. As the world’s first camera with an amazing auto focusing ability of as low as EV -6 , the EOS R is able to attain precise focus in low-light conditions, even in near complete darkness.

A step towards the future in optics, Canon also unveiled four new RF lenses that optimise quality and speed performance providing extremely high image quality never seen before. Besides the focus and zoom ring, the lenses feature an additional control ring which allow easy access for users to customise control settings. The RF lenses provide a variety of macro, zoom and low-light functions offering impressive versatility for different photography styles including still portrait, close-up and wide shots as well as videography.

As part of the larger EOS eco-system, the EOS R system was designed to be compatible with existing range of EF and EF-S lenses. Users can continue to enjoy the flexibility of using their favourite EF and EF-S lenses with a series of three RF mount adapters that were introduced together to support the new system.
