[@Twst704]

You know what I’m waiting for? R3 MkII. We’re at the point where you can have 30 fps, 45 megapixels, back-illuminated stacked sensor an a sports camera. I just want that now in a R3 body! Wait, I just finished reading and you actually said there’s going to be an R3 MK2!!!!! Wow, I promise, I hadn’t read that and was daydreaming about it here!

[@Devdattab]

Very informative and useful video. Generally we focus only on the camera body but not on the things that will help us get the maximum out of that camera body!

[@zeiss1382]

I’ll summarize the release. Underwhelming specs for the R1 “flagship”. R5 II with good specs but ultimately falling short of greatness because Canon will not put “flagship” features in it such as dual CF Bs, larger more powerful battery, other nerfed features so it doesn’t outperform the R1 etc.

[@christophercarlimages9003]

[@natureredux1957]

Folks are so overly concerned about the Niche R1 when the real Story will be about the R5ii.

[@OrdinaryFilmmaker]

Yep, you're bang on. Your five mark two is the big story. It will be the biggest seller and it is truly the master of everything at least concerning Canon's lineup.

[@billmartin1663]

@@OrdinaryFilmmaker Simon, I wonder. And I suspect. Isn't the R6ii probably a much bigger seller than the R5? And maybe the R8 or R10 beat it (in unit sales) as well? Surely the R5ii will sell a lot more than the R1 will. But with all the companies putting so much emphasis on the R6ii segment of the market (24MP, $2,500), I suspect that's where the real money is made.

[@troypast3589]

The r5 is Canon’s mainstream camera with a wide appeal - pros, semi-pros, and hobbyists, so it is indeed significant - it’s one of their top cash cow products. The issue is here that many were expecting the R1 to be a true flagship product for the Canon line. Canon users have been awaiting a true competitor for other advanced cameras like the Nikon Z9 and Sony A1. Both of those cameras have been around for years and already have double the mega pixels and stacked sensors. While the r5 ii looks favorable spec wise to these cameras, it is not the weather sealed, dual cf slot, pro battery grip camera pros have been waiting for. It really looks like the r1 is more an r3 ii and not the R1 people have been expecting. The choice of low pixels seems to suggest that Canon is more behind in sensor tech. It will be interesting to see how an R1 will compare to a Sony A1 ii if it packs a global shutter and 50mp. Watching the Euro 24 soccer matches this week I noted the vast majority on the sidelines were shooting Sony. Canon needs a flagship camera, not just a niche one.

[@isotechimages.9130]

Wonder if the R1 frame rate is limited due to Canons poor buffer l try not to use R6ii at 40fps because it’s all over too quick

[@rumrill5020]

Is the rumor that the R5II will not have a mechanical shutter still current?

[@OrdinaryFilmmaker]

That was what rumour had said. However, we were recently told that it'll have both a, mechanical and electronic shutter.

[@J_Maverick16Aviation]

@@OrdinaryFilmmaker All good! Well at least we know it won't be left as one-off. Would be neat if they could market it as a higher-MP count version, something around 30/32MP for those action pros also looking for extra detail or tighter crop in their workflow.

[@zeiss1382]

@@J_Maverick16AviationI agree. Canon is putting themselves in a tough spot with all of the 24MP cameras. If the R3mk 2 slots between the R1 and the R5 that would be nice. A more pro featured body with 32-36MP. Canon might have a hard time slotting something between because it might outperform their “flagship”.

[@billmartin1010]

Everything rumored about the R1 is AMAZING for photographers . . . except the most important part (for a lot of stills shooters). 24MP. Twenty-four megapixels! It's the same issue that kept the R3 from selling to a lot of stills shooters. The R3 was AMAZING for stills . . . so long as your subject wasn't far away and didn't call for much detail. Arrrrgh. But the R5 is still a wonderful stills camera -- just not as good as it could be. Please, Canon. Give us an R5ii sensor with R1 features! (Or even R3 features!) Or, there's always the Nikon Z9. Nikon loves the bird shooters!

[@janvanholten7592]

WRONG! If you don't need more than 24mp, great! You'll be more than happy with cameras like R3 and, seemingly, the R1. But don't expect for everyone to share your opinion. People use cameras for different reasons and in different ways. I learned photography using old film cameras. What should I say? "Oh, you all just want to click and shoot 100fps, with AI autofocus doing everything for you, auto ISO, auto everything! Just spray and pray, you can always delete it if it sucks!"?

The R1 is already a disappointment at 24 mp, The number one complaint me and countless other have about the r3 is the lackluster image quality and terrible white balance for 6k. So yea, another 6k camera with 24mg is a tough pill to swallow.

[@jamesseward9263]

I’m sorry, I still find it hard to believe that the R1 will have 24 megapixels as that would make 4 cameras with 24 megapixels and only one higher at 45 megapixels. I’m still hoping for at least 32-36 megapixels in the R1 ! 😁 If I am right it would be the biggest April fools in July ever !! 😂 lol

[@billmartin1663]

Let's be fair. Once the R1 is out and if you add the rumored camera using the R3 sensor, that's 8 out of 9 Canon full frame cameras at or about 24MP. Canon is THE 24MP camera company!

[@christophercarlimages9003]

​@@billmartin1663Canon is telling you that 24 mpx is exactly what you need. More than likely though it's because they can't move bigger files quick enough to compete with Sony and Nikon. One offering over 24 mpx in a full frame camera is pathetic.

[@jamesseward9263]

@@OrdinaryFilmmaker yes it’s probably is 24 megapixels but I’m just really grabbing for straws in hoping for a professional Sony a1 or Nikon Z9 in a Canon body and don’t understand why an R5 Mark Ii can have a 45 megapixels stacked sensor and not a Pro Body like the R3 or R1 !? Seems like Canon is falling behind Nikon and Sony in some ways… 🤷🏼

[@jamesseward9263]

@@OrdinaryFilmmaker I also think that already having a Pro 24 megapixels sports camera in the R3 sports shooters who shoot big prime lenses would really benefit from a 45 Megapixel Pro Sports camera such as an R1 body allowing the ability to crop in as they can’t zoom in optically and have an easier time to follow the action without having to worry about filling the frame with only 24 megapixels

[@erikvossenaar]

I agree it makes sense for Canon announcing both cameras at the same moment as the positioning between these 2 bodies is so different. They may be quite some people complaining about the lower Mpix count of the R1 and a joint announcement allows Canon to clearly explain the differences in use cases. Based on my current information (stills, non-sports, non-pro shooter), I would be in the market for the R5ii, not for the R1. Thanks for keeping us updated Simon!

[@angryrabbitproductions1690]

All this time to fall short of the Sony A9III… which can shoot raw at 120 fps with AF. That’s a bit disappointing. Also, in video the Sony is pretty amazing… I’d go as far to say it might be Sony’s best video camera short of Venice. The GS sensor is actually really good. With the best exposure latitude of any mirrorless body… And near Panasonic levels of IBIS. Sony has really upped the ante with this offering.

[@OrdinaryFilmmaker]

I wouldn't be too quick to predict its failure. We only know a small set of specifications. Let's wait until the announcement before we can truly judge which one is better for which scenario

[@smith.perpsm4610]

Not impressed - I like my RF 100-500 and my R7/R5. But its the RF 100-500 who keeps me with Canon currently. R1II will be blown out of the water by Sony A1 II. The R5 II better be exceptional

[@OrdinaryFilmmaker]

It doesn't have to be exceptional. It can be a good solid upgrade. Depending on your work, your current camera may be more than enough. But for any of us, it's gonna offer improvements and workflow and value.

Almost 7k for 24mp is still sticker shock though 😮.

I am a business nerd like you are a technology nerd. In my past corporate life, I wrote Strategic Plans and Business Plans in my sleep. So I scratch my head and wonder why would Canon release the R1 and R5ii within 2 months of each other. I have now bought the Nikon Z9, Z8 and Z6iii (which I have been notified is arriving tomorrow), because of Nikon's staggered release dates. Marketing builds up, I save the money, the camera is released, I buy it. Rinse, repeat. Can you enlighten me Simon, as a long time Canon shooter?

[@OrdinaryFilmmaker]

I'm an enterprise architect Andrew so strategy is basecamp for everything I do. A six week wait for the R5 II is one thing, but a three month wait for the R1 is a long time indeed. They could easily have had two separate announcements: R52 in August for September delivery and October R1 announcement for November delivery... but that's me. I think the Olympic pressure was them under pressure.

I am very excited to shoot with the Canon R5 MkII. I am in Canada on the east coast and suspect you are in Canada as well. I have never bought a camera from the USA and am wondering if the duties will in fact make it more expensive. Is it not cheaper to buy cameras here in Canada?

[@pauldarville3843]

Great news, thanks Simon!!

[@tonypags5315]

Simon what’s the Cdn pricing for the R1??

[@OrdinaryFilmmaker]

Take the current exchange rate and add 5% to it then multiply times 6499.

[@ytr8989]

The Z6 III

[@alchemymagick]

Will the R5 II offer the ability to shoot internal Pro Res?

[@OrdinaryFilmmaker]

No idea at this point. But I hope so. It would make life easier for me and save me some time.

[@harryvlogs7833]

Hope they improve r5 terrible 10 stops of dynamic range it gets in video as tested by Gerald undone. And bad video stabilisation

[@OrdinaryFilmmaker]

A stacked sensor will help, but I wonder what other improvements will improve DR. In video, CLOG three provides more than 10 stops.

[@harryvlogs7833]

Ok it was 10.3 buts its still pretty much 10​@OrdinaryFilmmaker

[@mousbleu]

Hopping for the new h265 codec and the same DR as in raw. 🥺

[@davebo-3518]

Noticed there was no information on the rumour that Canon might have a subscription plan for added features.Hopefully that idea is dead in the water!

[@pixelscaper]

LCD question....Has there been any patent filings for a tilty-able LCD screen from canon? If not doesn't that mean a tiltable screen on the R5 is highly unlikely?

[@futtbugly5986]

So I'm not sure what is meant by announcement versus launch versus release. I just want to know when the camera will be available for purchase.

[@justamanwithanopinion]

I have just bought an R3. I really like it but I'm wondering if I should return and bank the cash for an R1/R5II. I don't technically need a camera until September (when I really will need one). Anyone have any thoughts?

[@JohnTaraszka]

If you need a camera by September I would not assume that either the R5 Mk2 or R1 will be available by then. The R5 Mk2 is more likely to b available based on current rumors, but rumors are called rumors for a reason.

[@brucealthaus256]

Do you have any links on Canadian websites in Canadian dollars as it’s only USD?

[@rolandsv8]

10:00 time is realy important🤦‍♂️

[@Slipsch]

Relatively boring compared to C400.

[@stephen7627]

hope we can choose low to high mpx RAW like old cams

[@ApexFilmsUS]

WE WANT MORE MEGAPICKLES! 😤🥒

[@Binod_lopchan-y2z]

Canon r5 price is around 2500$ in Walmart.

[@OrdinaryFilmmaker]

$1299 at Alibaba...

[@Binod_lopchan-y2z]

@OrdinaryFilmmaker i don't trust Alibaba, would probably buy a phone charger.

[@bamhamer]

SEPTEMBER????? Omgggggg 😩😩😩

[@OrdinaryFilmmaker]

Yeah, I don't make this stuff up, I just reported.

[@girnas89]

First 🙋🏻‍♂️

[@OrdinaryFilmmaker]

Yes you are. Any kernels of wisdom for coming in first?

[@romankuhler]

I really don’t know video people that are looking for a Million Megapixel.

[@acloud4]

R5II, will there be a different battery, battery charger, that will add to the cost depending how many extras you want. What type cards, that will add to cost. What else is need to support new camera?

[@OrdinaryFilmmaker]

We don't know about the battery size yet. Will try to find out. I suspect CFexpress Type B & UHS-2. dual Type B cards would be nice, but not expected.

[@sandroaltamirano5623]

The pre order link doesn't work.

[@OrdinaryFilmmaker]

Which one? Z6 III? The Canon R52 and R1 won't function until after the embargo is lifted

[@ytr8989]

Probably won’t see the R1 until the end of November. 🫤 Maybe won’t see the R5 II until October; maybe. 😮 The Nikon Z6 is priced at $3,096 in the U.S. That’s expensive for a Z6.

[@Uisci81]

Z6iii is $2499 right now

[@OrdinaryFilmmaker]

Yep, Z6 III is 2496

[@billmartin1663]

Canon R5 (with B&H Payboo discount) is $2,750 right now. There's a TON of competition among amazing cameras in the $2,000 to $3,000 range.

[@ChrisWatkinsPortraits]

dude they better ship R5-2 in july!
