The Canon EOS R looks fantastic, it’s modern and the finish is flawless. I’ve personally had mine swamped by a rogue wave, I’ve left it out multiple times for hours at night getting covered in dew, It’s been in my bag rolling around the back of my ute, I don’t exactly baby my gear and the EOS R has held up well, I’m surprised that it still operates perfectly and looks new. It’s a solid well built camera that will have no problem with a little abuse and being dragged from location to location in rugged/poor conditions. The Canon EOS R is built really well, I’d say as far as build quality goes it sits somewhere just below 5d build quality. The Canon EOS R is a lot better camera than it is credited for and most long term owners agree on this, as a Nightscape, Astrophotography or “Milkyway” camera it is simply fantastic, it has excellent image quality, it’s features suit these genres well and the camera is reliable like you would expect from a company like Canon. There has been a lot said about the Canon EOS R, quite a lot of criticism, in my opinion this criticism is just not warranted and comes from those simply comparing spec sheets and those that haven’t used the camera for any period of time, sure it’s not a sports or wildlife camera but it has never pretended to be either. I have used a few different models, the Sony A6500 for a year and a couple of Fujifilm cameras for the past four years, I like the lighter weight of mirrorless cameras and the technology available in them so when Canon announced the full frame EOS R mirrorless camera I was pretty keen to buy one as my main camera and purchased one not to long after they were released here in Australia. Over the last few years a lot of manufacturers have started shifting to and producing some really nice mirrorless cameras. I have used Canon cameras for a long time, 12 years, they have served me well, I’ve always been very happy with the image quality and reliability Canon cameras have provided. There are are plenty of reviews out there for the EOS R so I will steer clear of specs and tests, if you are looking for more information and specs head over to the EOS R page on the Canon Australia website. It will be based on my own experience and thoughts from using this camera for hundreds of Nightscape images over the last year including a full Australian “Milkyway Season” in a variety of conditions and locations. This review will focus on the Canon EOS R, it’s feature set and performance for Nightscape photography rather than a full general review. I have been using the Canon EOS R for my Nightscape and Astro photography exclusively for a little over a year now and have been meaning to put together a review of the camera, it’s long overdue but better late than never.
