Does it DGO have to be enabled on the C70? Does it work at all framerates?
I suspect that, if the DGO rumor is true, it will work the same as the C70.

Canon EOS R1 Specifications [CR2]
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
I suspect that, if the DGO rumor is true, it will work the same as the C70.
Sign me up for a pre-order. Just kidding, but it looks great to me. I will probably hold for the A1 II or whatever they call it. Not switching lenses right now.

The easy and quick on and off tele converter is something i´d love to have!
Camera on and off the lens to put on the tele converter by hand costs time, so i hardly use it.
In combination with more mp, you can get for example better pics of visitors on their seats.

That was a very low price. The R5 at 2199 was nutzo, too!
R6II is currently 1799 right now.
R8 is 999 right now

I can’t emphasize how beneficial the built-in extenders are. There are so many occasions in the field where you’re shooting from a tripod with a prime and suddenly need to add or remove an extender and it’s extremely cumbersome. You have to rebalance your gimbal, juggle the body and the extender while making sure your gimbal is locked down, it’s just an ordeal. Being able to just do it at the flip of a switch without needing to do anything else is incredibly powerful.

I have been working successfully with the 5D Mark II for 7 years. Although the AF system in my experience and application was limited only to the center point in One Shot focus mode, I never had a problem with the accuracy of that point. Servo AF was also quite good, although I rarely used it, mainly because in Servo AF mode you can't really use the focus and recompose technique - because Servo AF worked well also only with the center point. However, what is definitely not true in my experience is that the AF suffered in dark conditions (below 0EV). My experiences are just the opposite. The AF system is using the central AF point in One Shot mode, and with the help of the focus assist beam on the flash, I was able to focus in complete darkness, and even on a completely white wall in complete darkness.

That was a nice feature of DSLRs and flash, the AF assist beam. Very "Predator" like acquiring your target.

I couldn't have said this any better myself, I'm with you 100% I've owned all the 5D series, and now the R5, in fact I have 2 of them at this point. But the 30MP on the 5D vs the R5 45MP is irrelevant in most cases. I aim looking forward to this R1, not for the 30MP and being less then my R5, but for the fact of all the other benefits which no seems to get past once they hear the megapixel. And Global Shutter? Thank god they didn't follow Sony. Global shutter is a bad idea for stills photographers and I'm excited Canon didn't even go there. Or don't appear to be.
People jump on this nonsense bandwagon, OOOOO Global Shutter, the game is over, I find that those people tend to be less knowledgeable in a broad sense.

There are plenty of use cases. High speed panning, things which move across the frame quickly, avoiding banding from LED light sources, etc.
Like anything in life, different tools for different jobs.

There's no such thing as '16-bit capable file'.
"16-bit raw file" is a misnomer or, best case, simplification.
What they mean is each pixel needs at least 16 bits to be represented. The container size isn't a concern here.

With all the silly games Canon has played, including removing the lower bit depths mentions from updated manuals, I bet Canon will be talking about containers and the rumour people will think it’s about pixels. But we’ll see

You might not get better images on your R5 than a 5DIV, but I do on mine.

I am, naively, assuming the rumour people have access to Canon marketing materials. And I’m also assuming they are more photographically than technically inclined
So ‘16 bit’ gets mentioned somewhere and people assume it’s about pixels.

But if they're all true, then again, raw file bitness refers to the content not to the container. There are container types used in CPUs but there's nothing really that's 16 bits in the CR3 files that would refer to pixels. When processing pixel raw data, the software would actually use 16 or 32 bit integer types or 32-bit float type.

Latest rumors indicate a R1 announcement a week before CP+. A few weeks back my Canon dealer did mention four lenses being announced on Feb 14, 2024. Possible that R1 is announced at the same time.

For processing, yes, for storage, no. Have a look at MDAT and CMP1 at https://github.com/lclevy/canon_cr3There's too many assumptions

The header fields do imply that CR3 files can allow arbitrary bit depths, so it shouldn’t need changes for 16 bit pixel data.

Pixel data (digital numbers) is compressed in CR3, so talking about 16-bit containers for 14-bit numbers in the raw files is absolutely meaningless which I tried to point out above in the thread.
