Canon EOS R1. Canon’s Flagship Re-Invented.
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
..and I am very very glad that Canon left the ergonomics like the R3, which hands down has the best ergonomics of any camera I have ever used.
I think Canon had winner with R3 ergonomics and it looks like they kept those ergonomics while accommodating a slightly larger body size.

High-speed autofocus and exposure enhanced by AI recognition
Moving object trajectory prediction, high success rate smart object lock focus tracking
30MP full-frame stacked dual-gain sensor
Purely electronic rolling shutter faster than any mechanical rolling shutter
1/1,250 sec flash sync time (<0.8 microsecond read time)
Added 1:3 lossy compression CRAW (compared to lossless compression)
Unlimited 40fps (1:2 CRAW) / 60fps (1:3 CRAW) continuous shooting
Up to 120fps full-featured continuous shooting
Supports 240fps burst continuous shooting mode, 1 second pre-shooting
Enhanced dynamic range, better than EOS R3 and EOS R5

Interestingly, in the list of features in the sidebar and also under the "Compare" tab, the R1 is listed as an APS-C sensor... despite the main description as a full-frame sensor camera. Also, in the dynamic range comparison, shouldn't the comp be the R5 MK II, not the R5?

This isn't what floats my particular boat, but I remember Sony bragging on gaining a whole stop of flash sync speed with their flagship. Now Canon's flagship will (reportedly) be 1⅔ stop faster than that.

Yeah, DPR put up a post an hour ago and already >300 comments
The link is
https://www.adorama.com/car1.html
but expect it to be removed soon.
Seems to be a typo though as 1/1250s = 0.8 milliseconds and not micro second as on the website
No need for a mechanical shutter if 0.8ms and no global shutter DR/ISO compromises.
Seems to be aimed at the A9iii in a different ie 1 series form factor... but then again, the 1 series have always been a sports orientated machine rather than high resolution.
The Sony/Nikon flagships (A1/Z9) are both high resolution and speed so the definition of "flagship" has changed for them from just sports action at reasonable resolution.

tbh even 30MP is enough for many....the reason for high MP is cropping with short lens, just a cheap&lazy&forgiving way for many.

Yep, those are the options! If they have sent it out to their customers, it's more embarrassing if it turns out to be BS ...

to be fair, there was a lot of little adjustments to those 18mp sensors including AF capabilities.
but at the time Canon did what they could with a really really old fab line and because of that, you'd never notice the IQ difference.

That's fair...they went from CDAF only to a <50 PDAF points by the M10. But even a little tweak to the spectral response curves of the CFA is enough to call it a 'newly designed' sensor.

yeah, it was the end of the line for the 300nm sensor line - and that got a shot in the arm with DPAF and a new 180nm line and I think 120nm soon after. Right now I think they are at 90nm. I forget what 18mp sensor, but there was one that changed the entire chip itself but DR response, etc didn't change. it was one of the rebels I think.
but that was a pretty big fab change across two plants to get things moving forward.
I actually had an article half written up about that, I may revisit once we know what is going on with the R1.

If you can show me a way to change lenses underwater then I welcome your input. The variety (size) of subjects varies dramatically underwater so significant cropping is a mandatory requirement for me.
I am not a regular birder but my experience has been that it is tough to get birds closer all the time.... cropping helps dramatically in that use case.
I'm sure that there are a number of portrait photographers that would prefer as many pixels Canon can shove in there.
I have no issues being cheap and not having the longest/brightest lens available. The best lens is the one that you have with you at the time.
Upscaling algorithms have certainly assisted making cropped/low res images better for printing purposes but it is always ideal to have sufficient pixels on subject if possible.
I'm not saying that everyone needs >30mp but saying that higher res is just for cheap/lazy/forgiving users is a cheap and lazy comment.

Most likely they just prematurely released the description that was supposed to go live in a few weeks. Who in Adorama would be inventing fake specifications and putting them online? How would a BS description get to the R1 page on a major retailer site? The chances it's a BS are not zero but very tiny.

Non-BS specs that include the R1 having a full frame APS-C sensor with a 0.8 microsecond readout? The chances seem quite a bit higher than zero.

There was no mention of APS-C in the list of specs (the comparison page doesn't really count), and milliseconds are easily mixed with microseconds.
The chances of it being BS are not zero, but then that would mean there's literally a saboteur working at Adorama. The chances it was a simple mishap/user error are much higher in my opinion.
