It’s been six years since Canon’s first full-frame mirrorless EOS R System camera arrived. With the launch of the EOS R and the new RF mount the writing was on the wall for the days of the DSLR. Now mirrorless is the only option that you should consider when choosing a new digital camera. While that initial EOS R drew heavily on DSLR parts (5D Mark IV), the EOS R5 and R6 were the first models featuring entirely mirrorless specific technology. 

The current range of mirrorless cameras provide incredible features that make it possible for more photographers to capture the photos they want more consistently than ever before.
