We haven’t forgotten about the Canon EOS R1, and you probably haven’t either [CR2]

FWIW, it seems to be the CR main page that is affected. The forum pages seem fine, at least for me.

I never got one single advertisement since I became CR Pro, honest. And even before, my ad-blockers were 99,5% efficient.
I live in France and Germany, by the way... Could be the reason.

Why do even non-CR Pro folk have to put up with such annoyances anyway?
We all accept that it's necessary to fund the site, and that that means being subjected to unwanted advertising, but is is really necessary to have huge pop-ups blocking the content?
Does it not occur to the advertisers and the website owners, that the most obvious responses to such intrusions are:
a) a strong likelihood that irritated users will visit the website *less* frequently.
b) a strong likelihood that irritated users will deliberately avoid buying anything from the advertisers in question.
Fortunately there is enough of interest on CR to keep me here despite the annoyances, but I've already permanently abandoned several other sites that use the same extremely intrusive advertising.

Hey, you are assuming analogue hands move once a minute. Even an old-fashioned grandfather (tall case) clock moves the hands in 1 second intervals. That reduces it to 0.0023%. In 1672 or so, Joseph Knibb made a split seconds clock that beat 1/3s for Professor Gregory at St Andrews University. That would reduce it being right 0.00077% of the time - getting closer to the accuracy of some of the comments here.

Not that I've been getting hit with this stuff (ad blockers--but I did buy the lower of the two pro levels anyway). But I've often wondered the same thing in general about genuinely obnoxious advertising--everything from loud TV ads to popups that cover the center of the screen.
There is a sincere belief in many quarters that ANY publicity is good publicity.
And you can't convince them otherwise.

You didn’t have to spend lots of money on Canon gear to get to platinum?

Oh....you may have misunderstood me. Ad blockers don't cost money here, and I don't have a Canon pro membership. Let me explain.
The ad blockers are free here as well; I was saying that even though I had adblockers and never saw the ads (and I'm not seeing any now) on Canon Rumors, I still, nevertheless, got a Canon Rumors pro membership--for this site (not for Canon), one of the benefits was you'd never see ads. I decided to give them some money to thank them for the good information and education I got here.

Why not just shoot CRAW for anything you are using high FPS for and RAW for lower FPS stills? I use CRAW for anything wildlife where I want high FPS (birds, mammals, etc.) and RAW for landscape, etc. The CRAW files are quite capable of post editing improvements.

Cropping is an unfortunately reality of anyone taking wildlife/ bird images. And mpx are also important in fine art/landscape prints. I know it's a novel idea but maybe someone can make a pro body camera that can do it all. Then we wouldn't have to buy these cameras that are only good at select types of photography. Just because some people are satisfied with 24 mpx, that shouldn't be looked at as working for all.

I can't imagine they can, different use-cases have different requirements and always will. The big bottom grip is useful if you want to take portrait pics, but otherwise it's excess bulk and weight. The fully articulating screen is useful for framing, unless you shoot movies when it makes eyes look creepy and a flip up is better. Full frame is great for various reasons, until you want a small and light lens.
I do wish they'd be more clear about the intended purpose of cameras and focus less on a "range" going artificially from "cheap" to "expensive". I could have easily bought a 1D or R3 this year but I chose the M6ii because it was what I needed and the big "better" cameras would have been terrible for what I need.
A "do it all" camera is by definition compromised for all use-cases. Give me good specific options with compromised all rounder capability any day.

Cap One is a great product. It's definitely a worthy competitor to Adobe. But the file management of Cap One seems awkward.

It is and that is my one complaint about C1....but working around and with it isn't rocket surgery.

Smile, I think that you are also willing to spend about 20K++ on a body.. Cause any camera is somewhat a compromise to either side of the table. All in all there is one restriction and that is, TIME. The time needed to read the image, put it in the card and there are forces, beyond us, that manage that time. Higher resolution, higher FPS, higher dynamic range (number of bits for each pixel), and others, each pulling to other side and limits the others. With the advance of electronics the lesser time needed for each of those activities, the first digial camears were.. 1MP sensor and were very limited in speed and such? Now you have 50MP with 20-30FPS... but still having 100MP for fashion and architecture, 60FPS for sports, dynamic range to shoot in the dark, and the IBIS to allow you hand held at 1/2 second... I am sure one day we will get there, but not as for today. Give me R1 50MP, 30FPS, 100-200,000 ISO packed with global shutter 10fstp IBIS, quad pixel AF and that it won't break my bank account.... It will make me happy for more than a few years.

The global shutter would be pretty cool though, not gonna lie.
Ah! That's very interesting. I hope they implement something similar for the R1.
Even the 7D Mark II and 5D Mark IV allowed the user to select the target frame rate for H/M/L burst modes. Of course those were with mechanical shutters.
The lack of or more limited amount of user customization of burst rates with the R-series has been with electronic shutter burst rates, so we'll just have to wait and see what they can/will offer.
