I'm new to the R1, I still have my OG R6, prior to that I used to be a 1D-X shooter.
To my surprise, apparently the R1 does not feature an in-camera trimming/cut tool to cut videos. As a wildlife shooter, I generally cut the videos in-camera, as I often need only couple of seconds from a footage and by doing so I could save up space on my hard drive. Surely, I can get around by cutting footages on my PC with a software like Loseless Cut, but I did not expect the R1 no to have that feature (lower end bodies all have that).
Also, the R1 not having waveforms is unexpected, as R5II has it.
Not being able to assign pre-capture to a button is weird, although you can get around that with different custom shooting modes. You can assign pre-recording to a button in video mode, however.
I know my R6 inside-out, the R1 is still a bit overwhelming at first, as it is highly customizable. It is definitely a most capable camera I have ever owned, though. I noticed it is far more reliable in back-lit situations than any camera I have used, I guess it has to do someting with the cross-type AF point.
Any insights from R1 users would be appreciated!
