Mirrorless is big this year. Canon and Nikon both entered the full-frame mirrorless market for the first time with the EOS R (Stark Insider hands-on first impressions) and Z6/Z7 respectively. Earlier in 2018, Sony yet again expanded its impressive -- and market leading -- mirrorless line-up with the well-regarded A7...

GH5 video shooter Clinton Stark rambles, stumbles, and shares his first impressions and thoughts about the new Canon EOS R full-frame mirrorless camera. So you might have heard?
