The stadium lights are excellent at the Olympics so that's not a problem. Most photographers are sending pics via FTP wired or wireless or download only tagged images from card to laptop so card speed is also not a bottleneck. AF is already very good in say a R3. I think the photographers have...

That's not my personal experience in the Netherlands. If you take the team photographers of the top four football clubs they all shoot Sony. And a lot of other photographers have also made the switch. But I think Sony, Canon, Nikon, it's all fine. A part of my work is live editing photos for an...

Don't know if this is called banding but this is not what you want.

My wishes for R1 are no banding when using electronic shutter, better wifi because the wifi of the R3 is not good enough and if eliminating banding is not possible then a faster mechanical shutter. I'm shooting sports so my wishes are related to that perspective.

I wonder if there are many sport shooters who own/use a 400 2.8 and a 200-400 f4? Because I shoot a lot a soccer matches at f2.8 or f3.2 due to bad lighting conditions. But during daytime matches this 200-500 would be very nice. Although I'm thinking about how zooming would influence my style of...

Now I have read a little bit over EFCS but I don't get how it's going to prevent rolling shutter like the ball in the attached photo.

How does that work with high shutter speeds? I have honestly never used that.

That's the point. I shoot a lot of soccer and I can't upload photos to clients with oval balls. So I have to use my 1DX bodies for that. But then I really miss the eye auto focus etc.

And concerning the R5, would you then shoot electronic shutter or mechanical?

For me the question is can a R3 replace my 1DX MK III. 99% of my work is sports photography or related to that. Currently I shoot with two 1DX MK III, a R5 and a 1DX mostly as a remote goalcam. Important for me is that a camera is reliable, predictable and can handle dust and moisture very well...

Thanks, did not know that. I do not own a 7d body. Seems that my assumption is not 100% correct.

Sure they can but I haven't seen much from Canon in that regard. But maybe I'm wrong.

Yes point taken and being it Canon I think it's likely that they will not give us much more additional functionality. After four years with the 1DX II still no built-in intervalometer in their flagship camera.

Being professional was not the point. The point was that if you have a DSLR you are kind of stuck with it untill the newer version comes out. With mirrorless bodies, firmware updates can add new functions and not only bugfixes.

Yeah sure.

Yeah, like the Canon EOS R 1.4 update. More Mature you say?

Maybe I will see when I get there.

Check the firmware updates of the 1DX II in the past four years and then check the firmware updates of the A9 (mark 1) in the past 2 years. See the difference?

It's obvious that you are not a working pro sports photographer. Nothing wrong with that but .....

Thanks, I have been shooting with the A9 during a Sony Pro Event at Tenerife, and I was impressed as a Canon shooter with the Sony autofocus and all the Sony engineers were really engaged with our wishes. I never had this with Canon. It's just a feeling that Canon is moving too slow and holding...
