But if you’re a serious action shooter, then a camera such as the Sony or the Fujifilm is going to be a far better option than the EOS R, which will seem sluggish by comparison. Honestly, at some point you have to start asking yourself whether you need the increased speed, because 60 frames per second, or 30 frames per second, or even 20 frames per second from the Sony a9 and a9 II will run through your memory card unbelievably fast. The Sony a7 III features 10 fps shooting, and (while not a direct competitor of the full-frame EOS R), the Fujifilm X-T3 ramps up to 30 frames per second, not to mention the insane 60 frames-per-second shooting speeds you can pull from the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II and Mark III. The 8 fps shooting speed isn’t bad by Canon standards, but it pales in comparison to some of the competition. Regarding Canon’s continuous shooting settings, you get a decent 8 fps, which is up slightly from the Canon 5D Mark IV’s 7 fps, though you can only do this with One-Shot AF (the speed drops to around 5 fps with AI-Servo).

Note that the Canon EOS R offers face-detect AF as part of its tracking algorithm, as well as a number of useful AF area modes I’m a big fan of Single-Point AF and used it the most frequently, but the tracking setting does a good job with moving subjects. And, as I mentioned in the previous section, you also get focus peaking, which is useful for both video and still photography.

The sensor-based AF includes the option for a manual focus guide, so that you can set your desired point of focus via multi-controller or touchscreen and then guide your lens to it manually.
