Canon and Nikon have finally announced they’re getting into the serious, full frame, mirrorless game. Here’s what you need to know about the Canon EOS R and Nikon Z7 and Z6.
Unlike their previous attempts at launching a mirrorless camera platform—Canon’s EOS M and Nikon’s (now discontinued) 1 systems—their new lineups are serious offerings worth investigating.
Let’s dig into the specs and what to expect.The Key Specs
While we won’t know how the cameras perform in the real world, the specs do give us some sort of idea. In all likelihood, all three will be incredibly good modern cameras and only people who really push their gear to the extremes or need something for a specific purpose will see huge differences in the quality of their work.
Here’s how the detailed specs shake out for each camera.
Canon EOS R
Canon’s EOS R is basically a Canon 5D Mark IV but without the mirror and at a great price. People who were disappointed with the Mark IV’s video capabilities will be just as disappointed with the R’s, but by the same token, people who liked the Mark IV will have nothing to complain about.

Nikon Z6
Nikon’s Z6 is far from a low end camera, but it is the lowest specced of the three cameras we’re looking at today. Nikon bills it as an all-rounder and that’s pretty much the case. It’s not the best camera here, but it’s not trying to be.
