The lack of heft and robustness will deter some, especially if you like more weight to stabilize your shots, but it won't be a concern for others.
Even when optimized, the handling doesn't feel as good as most rivals. This is especially true if you're switching to Canon from another manufacturer. The sturdiness of the body aside, none of these design choices are necessarily deal-breakers, but they do take some getting used to. This is an absolute clanger if you want to shoot via the viewfinder and not the touchscreen. While we'll cover the menus and screen later in the review, one aspect we really didn't like is that focal-point movement isn't automatically mapped to the arrow keys on the rear of the body (you need to go through the custom menu to map this function). Overall, the EOS R just doesn't feel as comfortable and natural to shoot with as either the Sony or Nikon bodies though we recognize that for some long-term Canon enthusiasts this may not be an issue.

Similarly, the multi-function button for changing things like ISO sits incredibly close to the front, vertical command wheel, which makes it very awkward to use while you're shooting. A design choice we like less is the fact that the power button sits on the left of the body (while shooting), with the shutter release on the right, which means you can't flick the unit on and shoot with any kind of fluidity. Having command wheels that point vertically upwards (near the shutter release button) and horizontally (at the rear of the body) takes some getting used to, but we understand the tactile theory of offering different feels for different settings. The button layout and interface leave much to be desired too. There's nothing dramatically wrong with the design here per se, it just doesn't feel as robust as other mirrorless models we've tested. The connection between the flange and several of the lenses we tested with had a slight rattle and there wasn't the same satisfying snap when the lens is in place, as we've seen with many other models. We also didn't feel like the Canon would be able to handle as many bumps, bashes, and rough handles as rivals like the Nikon Z6. We weren't hugely impressed with the build quality and we don't see this as a camera you'd take out in sub-optimal weather. However, this weight difference is negligible, so we can't say it's a compelling reason to plump for this camera as a travel shooting option unless you're switching over from an older DSLR. This more economical build does keep weight down though, which makes the body lighter than rivals from both Nikon and Sony. There's nothing really sleek or desirable about the look of the EOS R, it's all business here, with a basic black and grey body combining various weights of plastic and rubber.
