According to the Japanese site Asobinet , the production lines for the EOS R are reducing the production of these cameras, which leads to a decrease in product inventories. This could mean that the five-year-old Canon EOS R , the first full-frame mirrorless camera of the new system, will soon be discontinued. However, there is no official notice from Canon about this yet and the camera is still available for purchase at a price of $1400.
Canon EOS R, the first mirrorless camera of the new series, was introduced in the summer of 2018
The end of the EOS R can be attributed to the recent launch of the Canon EOS R8 , which is only $100 more expensive, but is a more modern camera with improved autofocus and video capabilities.
