"Canon EOS R1 First Look: The Ultimate Flagship Camera?"

[@fhopson5597]

I enjoyed using the R3 and now I’m looking forward to using the R1 which was delivered yesterday 😊

[@hawaiifreespeechnews]

So how is it so far?

[@SamysCameraOfficial]

We are excited for you!

I got this beast of a camera and I love it. I have not used it yet, but still learning the mechanics. Going from a 90d to R1 is amazing

[@dirtysouth_305]

That's a huge jump and learning curve. Congratulations and Good luck!

[@SamysCameraOfficial]

You are going to love using it!

I've picked mine up yesterday, finally after two year so waiting and oh my what a camera!!! So much lighter than the 1dx and the EVF is amazing. I still need to customize the buttons which might take a few days, there a so many options. I'm very happy to have waited and didn't buy the R3.

[@Makta972]

The R3 is 99% this camera lol

[@gladysklip6984]

@@Makta972 I don't think you can compare the AF and EVF and all the customization possibilities.

Congratulations on picking up Canon’s latest flagship, we hope it serves you well. Thanks for sharing!

[@SamysCameraOfficial]

You’re very welcome, thanks for the comment!

[@hawaiifreespeechnews]

My dream camera and dream lens! Is this the pre-production version you are reviewing here?

[@SamysCameraOfficial]

Our Source at Canon called it a “Pre-Shipment Sample”.

We got the R5 Mark II on our recent visit to Samy's, we now using it in South Africa

[@samysphotoschool7758]

Amazing!! Thank you so much

[@SamysCameraOfficial]

Awesome to hear that you’re using the R5, it is also a great camera!

[@theonlyredspecial]

Dropped the res of the lcd from the r3 which surprised me. And the video capabilities are a bit weaker than flagships from Sony and Nikon. I actually think since recent price cuts the r3 is looking good. I appreciate the autofocus is better but I’d say for 98% of people it would be more than enough. I’m not so bothered about the 24mp although i would have liked to see it match the z9. I’ve had days shooting motorbikes for publications and the z9 and r3 nailed everything I needed with very few lost frames.

[@SamysCameraOfficial]

The R1 is an amazing camera, the 24.2mp sensor resolution is a good balance of low light capabilities and speed @ 40fps! It’s a great time to be a sports or wildlife photographer, so many good options!

[@davepastern]

yeah the LCD drop surprised me and is very disappointing. I guess Canon thought pros don't look at the rear LCD screen, so no need to offer a good One. Some have suggested that a lower resolution rear LCD screen would help with battery performance too (this is probably a good explanation). From what I have seen from reliable sources, the AF of the R1 is a step up from that of the R3 and the high ISO performance is around 1-1.5 stops better than the already superb R3.

I can easily see rolling shutter effect on some sample photos.

[@orion_cinema]

7:47 for the R5 is same as the menu for the R5, the Dual shooting (photo stills & video) is not on my menu, what enables it? it was there at one stage and now disappeared

This sounds like a Canon customer service question! Try here: www.usa.canon.com/support?srsltid=AfmBOooXnvHzbWYUl5d4zGiAJU6DO0Ll7l3WS2bOZz8v7JVND_PNvdyX
