Kolari Vision reviews the Canon EOS R for infrared

Kolari Vision, one of the leading sources to get your sensor modified for infrared released their review of the Canon EOS R.

In short, as with all Canon's setting your white balance for various filters is a snap; however, there is one fatal flaw in the camera.  Under long exposures, an infrared light shines onto the sensor showing up as a light leak or fogging on the resultant images.

they conclude;

The Canon EOS R was almost the perfect camera for Infrared Photography. It’s mirrorless, sets custom white balances perfectly, edits well with good color, has no post-conversion sensor artifacts, and it can comfortably adapt Canon’s massive collection of hot-spot free lenses. But, the dreaded internal IR LED came back with a vengeance after skipping the Nikon Z7. If you’re not interested in taking long exposures, then we can not recommend this camera enough for infrared photography. But, if you do want the ability to take long exposure photos or even shoot astro, the IR LED will make clean images impossible.
