The Canon EOS R has the 30-megapixel sensor of the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV DSLR but in a smaller package and at a lower price point.
The 30-megapixel sensor is a good mid-point for newborn photography. It’s not too high to introduce a lot of noise or make skin imperfections obvious, but high enough for big prints and good detail.
The Canon EOS R also has a lens adapter that will allow it to be used with Canon’s DSLR lenses. It’s a good option for photographers that may already have a stash of Canon lenses.
As a mirrorless, the camera is also equipped with a silent electronic shutter.
With solid low light performance, the Canon EOS R is one of the best Canon cameras for low light, according to DxOMark. They rank the image quality a bit below the first three cameras on this list.
The colors and dynamic range aren’t ranked quite as high as others in its class. This won’t stand out though. Canon’s Dual Pixel autofocus system is also highly praised. This should come in handy when shooting with only window light or capturing those fast-moving toddlers later on.
The EOS R also offers a respectable 8 fps that will keep up with toddlers and older children as well.
The Canon EOS R body sells for $2,300, which is a bit higher than the Sony a7 III and Nikon Z 6. The EOS R is missing image stabilization equipped in those models and didn’t score quite as high on sensor tests.
While the other cameras may be better deals, the compatibility with Canon lenses and dual pixel autofocus will sway some to pick up this still excellent camera.
