When it comes to Canon Mirrorless cameras, the full-frame EOS R range is the cream of the crop. This premium range of cameras comes with its own unique lens mount, with a range of premium optics already available and many more planned for the future. EOS DSLR fans who have spent their time and money building a kit of must-have lenses shouldn't feel left out, as numerous adaptors are available for making the best use of the wonderful EF lenses.
If you think you are ready to take the plunge on a full-frame mirrorless camera from Canon but are not sure which model is the perfect fit for you, we hope this product roundup will make your decision a little easier.
Canon EOS R1
Announced just in time for the Olympic games in Paris, the flagship EOS R1 encourages sports photography enthusiasts to get out there and try their hand at capturing their own sports action photography. This camera includes a brand new 24MP backside illuminated image sensor, and a DIGIC accelerator, which combine to produce astonishing image quality in all lighting conditions, as well as lightning-quick readout speeds. Those sports lovers that we mentioned will appreciate the next-gen AF speeds, with excellent subject tracking abilities, and for the first time in an EOS R camera, cross-type AF — this allows the camera to focus accurately in tricky situations, such as when low-contrast subjects are in frame.
The Canon EOS R1 can record up to 40 continuous RAW frames and has pre-shooting abilities, which means it can even capture crucial moments from just before you have time to press the shutter. This camera includes an advanced stabilisation system, which combines in-camera image stabilisation with compatible stabilised Canon RF lenses for up to 8.5 stops of image stabilisation — you can use this rugged workhorse out in the field, handheld, and expect to capture sharp and detailed results every time.

Canon EOS RP
If you are looking for a more portable Mirrorless camera, the smaller and lighter Canon EOS RP may just fit the bill. Naturally, this physical reduction in size means a few features need to be sacrificed. The sensor inside the RP is full-frame in size but the resolution is a slightly lower 26MP. Likewise, the AF system features fewer AF points, with 4779 to choose from — this is still a huge number by the way. The EOS RP does not have the top panel and multifunction panel that can be found on the EOS R, while an LCD screen and EVF are both available to compose your shots, albeit in a slightly smaller size.
All that aside, the EOS RP is still a well-rounded full-frame Mirrorless camera and it is a great choice if you want to harness the extra detail that such a sensor can produce, without the perceived bulk — this mix of portability and power makes it perfect for travel, especially when paired with a travel-friendly camera lens.

Canon EOS R5
The EOS R5 is a high-resolution offering from Canon, featuring a new Full-Frame sensor with a phenomenal 45MP of resolution. It is obviously great for producing large and detailed prints of your still images, but this camera also excels on the video front with 8K resolution video capture on offer, as well as 4K at 120fps and Clean HDMI out for those wanting to use their camera for live-streaming. Like the EOS R, the R5 has a lightning-fast AF system on board with 5940 AF points, Dual Pixel CMOS AF II and face and eye detection for both human and animal subjects.
Sports and action shooting is a real strength of this camera, with 12 frames per second continuous shooting using the mechanical shutter and up to 20 frames per second with an electronic shutter. An important addition in the Canon EOS R5, and one that sets it apart from previous EOS cameras, is 5-axis sensor-shift stabilisation, which can also combine with the IS of compatible lenses for the effective reduction of camera shake and blur.

Canon EOS R3
The Canon EOS R3 is a high-end mirrorless camera from Canon, featuring a back-side illuminated stacked 24MP image sensor — this means this camera is superior at capturing detailed images in low-light conditions. The Canon EOS R3 is also notably excellent for action and sports photography purposes, thanks to its fast and accurate AF system, which utilises 1053 AF points, and the exceptional continuous shooting speed of up to 30 frames per second. Users can enjoy blackout-free shooting with the EVF, while Eye AF is also available, a feature that enables the camera to focus where the user is looking. Another notable inclusion that will appeal to sports photographers are the new vehicle tracking modes.
One look at the Canon EOS R3 will reveal that it is not like all of the others; as well as a robust professional-grade body with weather-sealing, this mirrorless camera features a built-in battery grip, which allows it to utilise a high-capacity battery for enhanced shooting times, and also improves comfort when shooting in the vertical orientation. A reliable workhorse for professional users of all types, other highlights of the EOS R3 include astonishing 6K video, 5-Axis Image Stabilisation, a huge 3.2-inch vari-angle LCD screen, dual memory card slots, and advanced wireless connectivity.

Canon EOS R5 Mark II
The Canon EOS R5 Mark II is another model that Canon has announced with the Paris Olympics just around the corner, and like the EOS R1 above, it too has plenty to offer action enthusiasts. This camera includes up to 30 frames per second continuous shooting, an invaluable pre-shooting function, and impressive combination image stabilisation of up to 8.5 stops. In the Canon EOS R5 Mark II, pre-shooting is available in both still and video recording modes, and speaking of video, this camera can record in up to 8K30p resolution. With slow-motion friendly video options of 4K120p and Full HD 240p resolutions available, as well as more advanced features such as compatibility with a separately available cooling fan for extended recording times, the EOS R5 Mark II is a great option for vlogging and video production of different levels.
The Canon EOS R5 Mark II comes packaged with the brand new LP-E6P lithium battery, which allows users to capture more shots with their camera before pausing to recharge or load up a spare, while dual memory card slots offer flexibility when it comes to file storage — users can use the two cards to backup, record different file formats, or overflow when one card gets full.
