Sorry but... the Canon EOS R is far from a Sony A7 III killer

5 years 7 months ago #603554 by Matt Benton
I belong to a number of Canon Facebook pages and a number of peeps have been talking about the new Canon EOS R camera being a Sony A7 III killer.  

Are people looking at the specs of this camera and comparing it?  

Kind of disappointing Canon.  And I'm a Canon shooter!  

Man, was expecting more from Canon on this.  #notwhatiexpected

Canon was entering the market with this release. Expect the next upgrade to be the "killer"....Same as Nikon, their new mirrorless units were more "foot in the door" releases, the next will be franchise makers.

Why so serious?

Still awesome camera.  Don't care how it steps up or down to the Sony, I care about what it does for me.

Yup. Also, people that are happy are out doing some photography, snipes post complaints on fakebook.

Agree, I was thinking the same thing.  These cameras created new run ways for Nikon and Canon to pick up the ball and run.  (Hopefully).

You can expect a solid Canon mirrorless in a year or so, that's my guess.....
