Quality
To measure and compare the noise levels on the Canon EOS R, I shot the following scene in RAW+JPEG mode at every ISO value and took 100% crops from each for the table lower on the page. JPEGs are straight out of the camera, while RAW results will be added once the camera is supported in Adobe Camera RAW. I repeated the test moments later with the Sony A7 III and Fujifilm XT3 for a direct comparison.

Check prices on the Canon EOS R at Amazon, B&H, Adorama, or Wex. Alternatively get yourself a copy of my In Camera book or treat me to a coffee! Thanks!
