Wow. 24MP instead of the lowly 20MP. This will save lives.

I don\'t know, but are those features worth the premium over the R3?

The autofocus tricks for sports alone make it worthy.

Cross type DPAF (QPAF) and Action Priority aka Mind Control AF™

Will certainly check a few boxes for a lot of people.

Strong AF and upscaling built in.... Tbh if the jpeg 96MP is done quickly. It\'s not a problem.

not sure how the jpeg upscaling helps if you only shoot raw. no quad pixel af or dgo sensor as rumored. probably will still pre-order it but a bit disappointed and don't see how this is "the one" we've all been waiting for.

It appears they figured out "pixel shift" without doing pixel shift. Could be awesome.

It does have QPAF, it's just called cross-type DPAF.

A 24mp sensor can't do a 96mp RAW file. 96mp jpgs will be pretty great when the moment strikes.

Will wait for the full presentation, but first impression is kind of underwhelming.

Okay.

So after all the delays, still no 8K

You can't get 8K RAW out of a 24mp sensor. 6K RAW is just fine.

the sensor will support AF contrast line detection in both horizontal and vertical directions. The people that Craig talked with said it was quad pixel.

but there are several different ways Canon could do this, but for now, we believe it's Quad. In any case, it will do the job - which is to improve AF in both portrait and landscape positions.

Get R5ii, it's cheaper

No confirmation about sync speed on the R1? Roughly one hour left, I guess I can wait.

We had a copy of the specifications but the format was horribly trashed i will look to see if i can find that for you now though.

Mechanical / 1st-curtain Electronic shutter:

1/8000th sec – 30 seconds, in 1/3 or 1/2 -step increments

Electronic shutter:

No DGO for video ?

Well this all seems not very impressy, but rather a small hardware upgrade to the R3, and a bigger software upgrade.

To be fair, we have to wait for the official announcement and what it really is capable of. And what I am interested in, is a comparison to the R3.
