Canon EOS R1. Canon’s Flagship Re-Invented.

[EOS 4 Life]

These are the features that catch my interest most. Hopefully those will trickle down by time, hopefully already into an R5m2 or an R6m3.

I have my doubts.
Canon is already touting these as R1 features and the R5 II is set to come out first.

Me, too.

For birds (apparently I've reached that age where bird turn from "poop bombers" to "hey, a yellow tailed finch warbler!"), I use it for the opposite, a shot of the nictitating membrane

Makes kingfishers 35% more metal

"... upcoming global sporting events."

I wonder if there's a reason they're not using the 'Olympic' and Paralympic' words? Because I presume that's what they mean. Perhaps Canon is not an official Olympic Partner, in which case the IOC can get very huffy indeed about using the Sacred Name.

I guess it's because they also referred to the European Football Championship, not only to the Olympics.

Not necessarily. A more plausible reason for why they didn't use the "Sacred Name" is that the camera will be tested in several other sporting events this summer besides the Olympics, e.g. the European soccer tournament in Germany this summer which is just as big as the Olympics in Europe.

At a minimum, the R5 II will inherit or at least share the basic working of the R1 AF system, the much-hyped and anticipated Quad pixel system. Probably also share the AI AF algorithm, Eye-control II AF, processor and menu system.

There will be enough overlap between the R1 and R5 II to satisfy most users. This will allow Canon to offer the R1 at a ridiculously unaffordable starting price while still recouping most of the money they invested in hardware development from selling a boatload of R5 II.

You say that with such certainty. The same certainly with which you (incorrectly) stated the 8a Eastern time for the R1 development announcement.

and you didn't see the R1 announcement from a few hours ago? refresh your browser, it's there.

I did see it...in an email from B&H sent at 12:41a ET. Refresh your watch, it's not telling time correctly.

\"newly developed CMOS sensor\". I think we can skip this line, it\'s always \"newly developed\".

Yes, all digital camera’s have a sensor, so they can leave that out as well .

 

[blackcoffee17]

Another difference: the rubber grip pattern is different on the R1.

You are missing my point. Canon has the habit of calling every sensor "newly developed", even when the same sensor has been used in many cameras before.
Sure, I know this R1 will have a newly developed sensor and not just slightly tweaked.

I may not have been paying attention as long as you have.. the example that comes to mind is the R8 announcement, which reads, "Equipped with a 24.2-megapixel CMOS image sensor and DIGIC X image processor".

Oh, and there was the RP which was confirmed to reuse the 6D2. That announcement said it "features a 26.2 megapixel CMOS sensor that is powered by the company’s DIGIC 8 image processor".

Neither of those mention "newly developed", though... I must be doing this wrong

There are exceptions. There were a very large number of 'newly developed' 18 MP APS-C sensors used in a succession of DSLRs.

From golf ball dimple to diamond plate truck rear bumper.

Adorama screwed up and posted real specs. R1: 30 MP stacked dual gain sensor.

 

[DhlcadR6]

The 1DX III sensor was reused in the R6

R6 R5 were a emergency solution to retain EF users. Canon gave all their best and it mostly work. (ofc the overheat issue were over blown

Adorama screwed up and posted real specs. R1: 30 MP stacked dual gain sensor.

View attachment 216710

30MP means 8K not possible....

And this spec is same as the one posted few months ago

From Adorama : 1/1250 second X sync so likely not much rolling shutter when going purely electronic shutter.

• "Purely electronic rolling shutter faster than any mechanical rolling shutter"
• Enhanced dynamic range, better than EOS R3 and EOS R5

This could be interesting for wildlife.
