R1 For 2024

[GoldWing]

I was at a professional sports event, in the press room and the discussion was TV lenses. When the Canon rep gave a date for the release of the lens he said it would be at the same time of a high-resolution R body. The lens is slated for 2024. This leads me to believe that the R1 is slated for "retail" distribution in 2024.

Probably he meant the R5s.

Probably he meant the R5s.

Agreed. If Canon is consistent, the R1 will be comparatively low resolution, and the high-res body will be an offshoot of the 5 series, in this case the R5.

Methinks GoldWing won't be happy.
