Canon has released several EOS R cameras since 2018, each with its own unique set of features and capabilities. Here is a brief overview of the key differences between these models:
-
Canon EOS R: This was Canon's first full-frame mirrorless camera, released in 2018. It features a 30.3-megapixel CMOS sensor, Dual Pixel CMOS autofocus, and 4K video recording. It also has a single SD card slot and a vari-angle touchscreen. This camera is still available today and still performs very well in a crowded full frame camera market.
-
Canon EOS RP: This camera was released in 2019 and is considered a more affordable option in Canon's full-frame mirrorless lineup. It features a 26.2-megapixel CMOS sensor, Dual Pixel CMOS autofocus, and 4K video recording. It also has a smaller, lighter body and a lower-resolution electronic viewfinder compared to the EOS R.
-
Canon EOS R5: This high-end camera was released in 2020 and features a 45-megapixel CMOS sensor, Dual Pixel CMOS autofocus, and 8K video recording. It also has in-body image stabilisation, two card slots (one CFexpress and one SD), and a high-resolution electronic viewfinder.
-
Canon EOS R6: This camera was also released in 2020 and features a 20.1-megapixel CMOS sensor, Dual Pixel CMOS autofocus, and 4K video recording. It has in-body image stabilization, two card slots (both SD), and a high-resolution electronic viewfinder. It is a more affordable option than the EOS R5, but still offers many of the same advanced features.
- Canon EOS Ra: This camera is a variant of the EOS R designed specifically for astrophotography. It features a modified infrared filter that allows more hydrogen alpha light to reach the sensor, making it easier to capture images of nebulae and other deep-sky objects.
-
Canon EOS R3: This is a high-end full-frame mirrorless camera with advanced features such as a 24.1-megapixel sensor, Dual Pixel CMOS autofocus, Eye Control AF, and 6K RAW video recording.

-
Canon EOS R7: Launched in 2022 this camera continues the legacy of the EOS 7D series cameras. The EOS R7 packs state-of-the-art performance and ferocious speed into a next-generation mirrorless EOS R Series body. It was Canons first crop sensor EOS R series Camera.
-
Canon EOS R10: The little beauty was also launched in 2022 and packed a 24mp sensor, up to 23fps and video up to 4k/60p into a tiny body. Canons 2nd entry to the cropped sensor R range.
-
Canon EOS R6 Mark II: It is a camera designed for action, enabling you to capture motion in thrilling new ways – whether that's powering through 24.2MP full-frame stills at 40fps or shooting 6K RAW video at 60p. Canon listened to feedback from users of the original EOS R6 and took that camera's great feature set to the next level.
-
Canon EOS R8: Just launched at the start of 2023 the R8 is Canons entry level full frame mirrorless camera, with the same 24mp sensor as the EOS R6 II. It brings Canon's latest AF capabilities and massively improved video to the same body as the EOS RP (possibly replacing it).
- Canon EOS R50: The R equivalent to the very popular EOS M50 its a compact, very portable design with a large 24.2MP APS-C sensor, fast autofocus and It also packs a punch with a very good video spec.
In summary, Canon's EOS R lineup includes several full-frame and crop sensor mirrorless cameras with varying features and capabilities, allowing photographers to choose the one that best suits their needs and budget.
