Going for a R3 in mid 2024, or wait for the R1?

Hey folks,

I‘m shooting weddings with an R5 for the last couple of years, but getting more and more tired of the overheating/slowing down of the camera, the Eye AF performance and honestly the file size bothers me too. I mainly focus on photography.

Now, I am considering switching to an R3, but with the R1 around the corner I am asking myself some questions.

  • Will the price of the R3 drop further after the R1 is announced? I have seen offers as low as 4,300€ (with tax) lately. The R1 surely will start with a asking price over 7,199€
  • I haven‘t seen any rumours about a R3 M2. Will there ever be one?
  • Is there any reason to spent as close as double the amount on the R1? I don‘t shot sports or wildlife at the moment.
  • Should I just wait until the official announcement?!

I read the R1 rumours, but they didn‘t got me excited at all.

The Canon EOS R5 Mark II – We have now seen it

The Canon EOS R5 Mark II is now in the hands of people outside of the closed testing circle of Canon.

We have now seen some images of the camera, but cannot post them in any way shape or form. This is standard practice for us, but I'm sure other sites will be posting images in the near future. Or we will get permission to do so.

Canon Patent Application: Lens Magnetic Flux Improvements

In this patent application (2024-072582) Canon discusses improving the magnets that drive the motors on various lenses that attach to the camera. This is to prevent the magnetic flux from causing image artifacts especially at high ISO when the sensor is operating at a extremely high level of amplification and thus, sensitivity.

how to save settings canon eos rp

So I don't really use my EOS RP for video. It's strictly for photo. A long time ago, I had changed the settings so that it's just eye AF and one point focus. However, I now want to enable the other focus modes but can't seem to be save the settings. I went to the C.Fn II settings and set the ones I want but I can't figure out how to save. I tried saving to C3 but that didn't work. I noticed I see asterisk which I assume means it's a settings change but hasn't been saved yet.

Canon Patent Application: IBIS Improvements

In this patent application (2024-071858) Canon looks to improve the operation of IBIS on your cameras near and dear to your heart. While we'll never know if this patent will end up in the R1 or the R5 Mark II, all these types of patents silently make the little improvements that ultimately add up to big improvements upon release.

Canon Patent Application: Canon RF 14-20mm F2.0

In this patent application (2024-071267) Canon shows off a pretty awesome embodiment of a fabled Canon RF 14-20mm F2.0. We were rumored to see such a lens, but with Canon's supply issues, your guess is as good as mine if it's coming soon.

That all being said this looks like a pretty complete patent application even detailing the zoom group movement from wide to far, no image stretching, and nothing but Canon lens design expertise on display here.
