Frequently asked questions

What does the manufacturer list for the Canon EOS R?

Sensor: 36 × 24 mm CMOS; effective approx. 30.3 MP; DIGIC 8; Mount: RF (EF and EF-S lenses via Mount Adapter EF-EOS R; EF-M lenses not compatible); Shutter type / speed: Electronically-controlled focal-plane shutter; 30–1/8000 s, Bulb. Figures are for new units, from the sources linked on this page.

What should I check before buying a used Canon EOS R?

Make sure the title says EOS R, not R5, R6 or RP — these are different bodies. Ask for a shutter-count reading; this sheet found no Canon-published way to read it. Check for a battery and charger; Canon lists LP-E6N / LP-E6 packs.

Which eBay condition should I search for the Canon EOS R?

eBay Refurbished (Certified, Excellent, Very Good) is a program for approved sellers, so check eBay’s current terms and the listing for warranty and returns. Used and Open Box (listed by eBay as “New other”) are not part of that program; read the listing for what applies.

PreOwnedPick is not eBay and does not sell, inspect, repair or warrant items. Prices, availability and terms are set by sellers and eBay.
