Canon today announced two new members of its R mirrorless camera series.The EOS R7 and R10 are known to be the first to have Canon’s APS-C crop sensors compared to previous models in the series which all had full frame sensors.
The EOS R10 is now the entry-level model of the series. It features Canon’s familiar 24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor that the company uses in many of its other cameras. Together with a DIGIC X processor, the EOS R10 is capable of capturing 15 fps in burst with the mechanical shutter and 23 fps with the electronic shutter.
The R10 has a revamped autofocus system from the more expensive R series camera that can now track people, animals and vehicles. New scene modes have been added, including a focus stacking mode and a panorama mode.
The EOS R10 is capable of recording 4K video at 30fps by supersampling from the full width of the sensor. It can also record in 4K 60fps with a 1.56x crop. There is also a 10-bit PQ HDR 4: 2: 2 recording option but no C-Log 3.
On the back is a 2.36 million dot OLED EVF with a fully articulated 3-inch touchscreen with 1.04 million dot resolution. Get USB-C connectivity with USB-PD charging, micro HDMI and microphone jack. There is a single UHS-II SD card slot under the battery cover, which also houses the smaller LP-E17 battery.
On the more expensive EOS R7, we have a 32.5MP APS-C CMOS sensor we’ve seen on a couple of other Canon cameras in the past. Together with the new DIGIC X processor, it can do 15 fps in burst with the mechanical shutter and 30 fps with the electronic shutter. The R7 can also upscale 4K at 30fps full-width or 4K at 60fps with skipped or 1.81x full-width crop. The R7 also includes the C-Log 3 recording option.
Compared to the R10, the R7 has internal image stabilization, dust and moisture resistance, higher resolution 1.62 million dot LCD on the back, dual UHS-II SD card slot on the side, a headphone jack above all other ports of the R10 and a larger LP-E6NH battery. However, it doesn’t have a flash, which the R10 does.
Common to both cameras is a 7.0 stop digital image stabilization, the ability to record indefinitely without the 30-minute limit, and a manual AF / MF switch on the body for lenses without this option.
Canon also announced two new RF-S lenses, optimized for the smaller sensor size. This includes the RF-S18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM and RF-S18-150mm F3.5-6.3 IS STM. These lenses have a 1.6x crop factor when used with an APS-C sensor. The good thing is that you can use any RF lens on any R-series camera.
RF-S18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM • RF-S18-150mm F3.5-6.3 IS STM
The EOS R10 is priced at $ 980 for the body alone, $ 1099 with the RF-S18-45mm, and $ 1379 with the RF-S18-150mm. The EOS R7 is priced at $ 1499 for the body alone and $ 1899 with the RF-S18-150mm.
The RF-S18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM will be available for $ 300 and the RF-S18-150mm F3.5-6.3 IS STM for $ 479. All products will be available in late 2022.
