Which is better, Canon's new EOS R or 5D4?

According to the situation of the subject, it is relatively more suitable to choose Canon EOS R as a home camera.

In terms of performance, EOS R, as a mirrorless camera positioned between photographers and photographers, is also called "miniature version 5D4" in the industry. Specifically, EOS R is equipped with a 35mm Quan Huafu CMOS image sensor with an effective pixel of 30.3 million. This kind of high sensitivity sensor has the characteristics of low noise and high sensitivity, and has a very good reputation. Moreover, EOS R is also equipped with DIGIC 8 digital image processor, and its processing performance is improved by nearly 40% compared with DIGIC 6+ on 5D4.

In terms of focusing, EOS R is also quite powerful. EOS R not only inherits 5D4' s full-pixel dual-core focusing technology, but also provides a full-pixel dual-core RAW mode, which can fine-tune photos in the later stage of shooting and make them more user-friendly. EOS R has 5655 focus points, and the focus coverage area reaches 100%*88%. With RF lens, high-speed autofocus can be achieved up to 0.05 seconds, and the focusing speed is satisfactory for complex environment or high-speed moving objects. Therefore, for shooting children, EOS R can fully meet the requirements of snapshot.

The focusing brightness of EOS R is as low as -6EV, which can be said to be quite scary. You should know that the current flagship 5D4 of the 5D series only supports -3EV. It is necessary to explain to the subject what the concept of -6EV is: EOS R can achieve autofocus in scenes that cannot be effectively recognized by human eyes, not to mention the semi-dark environment in which children blow out candles on their birthdays.

In video shooting, EOS R is also quite professional. EOS R supports high-definition short film shooting with 4K resolution, and provides various professional functions of video shooting, including: supporting Canon Log gamma, shooting 4K with 8bit and 4:2:0 color sampling rate, and supporting HDMI 4K output with 10bit and 4:2:2 color sampling rate? , supporting HDMI 4K output in ITU-R BT.2020 color space? ,? Support time-lapse movies and HDR movies. Support manual focus peak and focus guide. It's really more than enough to shoot growth records vlog, short videos and so on for children.

As for the lens, although EOS R adopts a brand-new RF card port, it can be "backward compatible", that is to say, if you are an old Canon user, EOS R can support EF lens group through the bayonet adapter, so there is basically no need to worry about lens selection. The four RF lenses listed together with EOS R have independent control loops, which can be operated with EOS R, such as adjusting aperture value and ISO, or directly operated on the control loop, which is very convenient.

Compared with 5D4, EOS R has another advantage as a micro device, which is incomparable portability. For home scenes, portability is as important as performance. Especially when shooting children playing and running outdoors, parents and users have loaded a large number of children's products. At this time, the portable performance of EOS R greatly reduces the burden.

Therefore, based on the above points and the actual situation of the subject, EOS R is recommended. After all, from the perspective of performance configuration and actual experience, EOS R, as a professional micro-single, can meet the needs of a large number of photographers and is also very suitable for home users.
