The Canon EOS R1 may not come until the 2nd half of 2023 [CR2]

Surely it has to be still anyway because movement between frames will cause problems with the stacking? I know you can manually tweak but it can't work miracles.

True, but it’s more about shutter speeds. With flash I can expose the subject for the duration of the flash and have a set of images captured for a stack, maybe 30 frames, in about 5 seconds. If the subject is moving in the wind or something Zerene stacker does a good job of aligning the frames anyway and because I used flash the images are sharp.
Using ambient light at high magnifications means like 1+ second exposures!! At that level of mag it’s really hard to eliminate motion blur.

Depends on how steady your hands are. I'm shaky so it's a no go
But I know a top notch focus-stacker who primarily photographs spiders in the wild with an R5. He shoots mechanical shutter with flash. He manually focuses (moving fractionally closer for successive shots), handheld without a focusing rail. I'm not sure which program he uses for merging but he does it manually to ensure great accuracy. His images are quite outstanding (I won't name him or provide a link without prior permission). And yes, he has *very* steady hands!

Already sold it while the market was up. Funds are waiting in my money market account now. Just waiting on you Canon!

I’ll be really surprised if the R1 isn’t quad. That’s a key feature to differentiate from the others with.

My top three feature requests:
Duel Gain sensor
In camera focus stacking
Quad pixel AF
I’m pretty sure it already has everything else I want and more.

Just a wild guess, combined/ based on previous annoucements:
2020: R5 and R6
2021: R3
2022: R5c in January
and (I´m guessing) R5s (high res) in Q4, as well as R9 (RP successor)
Guessing:
2023: R6 Mk II, R8 (R successor) and R100
2024: R1
2025: R5 Mk II
2026: R3 Mk II and R7 Mk II
I do firmly believe that a possible R successor will be released somewhere near the timeline of R6 mk II. If the R really does get an upgrade, the R6 mk II needs to be released in order to further differentiate it from the R8 (R successor)

Yeah. I still have my 5DsR and an R6. It just depends on the day what I’m grabbing, but the battery life is often a factor. Forget to turn off a DSLR, it doesn’t matter. Forget to turn off a mirrorless camera and that battery is dead. They drain so fast on mirrorless anyway.

Agreed. I love my R5 but the EVF lag definitely causes me to miss shots that I would have achieved with my 5DMkiv. I also feel that the so-called WYSIWYG "advantage" of EVFs is greatly overstated, as the eye adapts to the ambient light and can easily be misled by the brightness of the EVF image. I prefer to rely on the histogram (which could easily have been incorporated as an OVF overlay in DSLRs). The larger DSLR body with its deeper grip also suits my hands better than the R5.
But those caveats aside, I still prefer the R5 - I find the clatter of mirrors from other people's DSLRs distracting, and it's loud enough to scare off many of the insects and birds that I photograph. The RF lenses are also sharper, lighter and have faster AF compared to their EF nearest counterparts. Battery consumption is a pain, but I always carried a couple of spares anyway, even when armed with the DSLR.

My guess:
I don't think there will be a "R" successor, although it would be nice to have a 30MP model slotted between the R5 and R6.
2023: R100 (APS-C), R5s (hi-res stills orientated)
2024: lots of new RF lenses, and R1 launch prior to Olympics
2025: R5Mkii, R6Mkii and an "Astro" model
2026: not brave enough to guess that far ahead...

My guesses (this is always a fun game to play):
R5S (high-resolution R5): announced Q4 2022 with availability Q1 2023
R1: announced Q4 2023 with availability Q1 2024 (similar to what was done for the 1Dx Mk3)
R5 Mk2: announce Q3 2024 and availability Q4 2024

I'd say supply chain systems have messed up development of new products. I'd have thought with the World Cup later this year that the R1 would make an appearance. It may be in the wild but I'd have thought it would have been Canon's target to have it on sale for it.
I've made the mirrorless move with the R5 (all AlanF's fault) so I'm not in such a rush for an R1 anymore.
It will be interesting if Canon do much with the R5 in terms of software upgrades.
The R1 will have to improve on the R3 and R5. The MP count will be interesting.
Once you go beyond 20MP camera it's hard to settle for 20 MP
The 1DXIII is a great camera but would have been far better if it had been 30 MP.
I certainly think once the R1 arrives Canon will struggle to improve again on it. Between Glass, Sensors , Focusing and FPS its hard to see much room for great leap forwards.

Yeah, I blame Alan for making me buy the RF 100-500mm
The "great leaps forward" will I think be largely confined to AI tech - and that is much easier to incorporate with smaller sensors (just look what phones can do), so within a few years I think we'll see a move towards M43 or even smaller formats. Olympus make well come to regret handing over to OM Systems.
