To bridge the gap while the new lines of optics fill out, Canon and Nikon offer adapters that allow their SLR-designed lenses to be used with the mirrorless cameras. This opens new possibilities for lens designers to engineer better performing lenses. Rather than adhering to the requirements of single-lens reflex camera types, these new, more compact cameras are built around larger diameter lens mounts with shorter flange-to-sensor plane distances. Not only are they smaller and lighter, but they open the door for better optics and autofocus systems.

These cameras mark a turning point for professional photographers. Now Canon, with its EOS R system, and Nikon, with its Z system, have stepped in. That was after Sony acquired Minolta’s photography division and built the first-generation Alpha 7 around the Exmor CMOS sensor. For photographers, the seismic shift to full-frame mirrorless digital camera systems began in 2013.

This range reverts to the same -3 to +18 range in the 5D IV with smaller aperture lenses.Change is not always a gradual evolution. Another noteworthy feature is the AF detection range of -6 to +18 with F1.2 lenses. Autofocus points are now available almost edge to edge on your screen with 5655 AF points rather than the 61 in the 5D IV. One feature that contributes to this is that it has more than double the buffer capacity with 47 shots compared to 21 in the 5D IV and comes with a newer processor. The video resolution is a tad bit better on the 5D Mark IV with 4,096 x 2,160 (DCI 4K) compared to 3,840 x 2,160 (4K) on the EOS R, but the EOS R still takes the cake in that department with a 10-bit output, EVF and 180-degree tilt-screen.Īlthough minor, the EOS R has a slight edge over the 5D Mark IV. If you are a sports photographer or someone who needs a fast shutter, keep in mind, even though the EOS R might have 8 FPS over the 7 FPS on the 5D IV, it will lock autofocus at 5 FPS. If either of these is a top priority for what you do, then hands-down go with the 5D Mark IV. The two major advantages of the 5D Mark IV is the battery life and the two card slots. This can take some getting used if you are coming from a DSLR camera, but it’s an amazing feature to take advantage of.Ĭanon 5D Mark IV EF 24-105mm L IS II USM Digital Camera Kit EVFs provide LIVE VIEW, the ability to see the changes you make in your camera settings in real-time. Since there is no mirror in mirrorless cameras, they use Electronic Viewfinders (EVF).

Regarding viewfinder type, optical viewfinders in DSLRs use the mirror to reflect the image from the lens to the viewfinder.

Obviously, a mirrorless camera is going to have a few differences from a DSLR such as viewfinder type, size, weight, autofocus system and battery life.

These two cameras are very similar but there are, of course, a few differences that might sway your decision one way more than the other.Ĭanon EOS R vs.

Don’t get us wrong, the 5D Mark IV is a phenomenal camera and between the two you really can’t make a bad decision. People seem reluctant at first to switch over to mirrorless when they’ve been using DSLRs for years. Here at the store, it seems like customers are constantly asking what the main difference is between the Canon 5D Mark IV and the new mirrorless Canon EOS R.
