Unveiling the Canon EOS R1

The Canon EOS R1 is here. Dave and Evelyn tested an early pre-production flagship camera at a Cavalry FC soccer practice in Calgary. In this episode, they talk about the exciting new features, including a stacked sensor and robust features thanks to enhanced processing power and deep learning.

As a wildlife photographer I was hoping for more MP, I probably would have been happy with around 32-35MP. Instead, I will be looking at the R5 mkII to go with my R3. I do not need 40 fps and rarely use 30 fps in the R3 going more often with 15 fps as the sweet sppot.

Canon shooter here. I currently use the Canon R3. I will be upgrading to the Canon R1 and will also purchase a Canon R5 MkII. My Canon R3 is a true beast, and I shoot sports on a regular basis. With that being said, I love my Canon R3 but will be purchasing, as I said before, the Canon R1. Some people are saying that there will not be a continuation of the Canon R3. I can believe this. And here's my reasoning why. A part of me wants to think that the Canon R3 was a phenomenal TEST BED because a lot of the features that are in the R3 have shown up in the R5 MkII. And by them doing this, it just proves that if they wanted to, they could have put more resolution and a bigger sensor into the Canon R1. Because when you think about it, the R5 Mark II has a 45 megapixel sensor with a lot of the specs that are in the R3 and a few that are also in the R1. Just think about that for a moment and marinate on that, and let me know what your thoughts are, if any, from anybody who reads this. In closing, I will say this. Possibly, in four more years, when the Canon R1 MkII arrives, don't be surprised if it has possibly a 33 or 36 or even 40 megapixel sensor. And honestly, it doesn't even need a global shutter.

Don’t you think this camera should have a higher resolution like the Nikon flagship?

[@drewcrawford7812]

An argument can certainly be made. However I still know action sport photographers who still shoot on 1Dx with 18MP. Most also live with big 400mm primes, so for a lot of them, 24MP is more than enough and more resolution hinders their cull and upload times. Gonna be a contentious topic for sure.

[@ryanvacation7319]

Wish they adopted the same LCD articulation of the a9III

[@alandyer910]

Thanks for the first look. It would be good to have evaluations and opinions from professional sports photographers on the R1 - does it meet their needs? Does it offer more and better than other models? They’ll be the ones to judge if this is the flagship they’ve been waiting for.

[@TheCameraStoreTV]

Thanks for watching Alan! We look forward to testing it more once we have a final production unit and getting input from sports photographers, especially after the summer Olympics.

[@Riskbreaker2009]

For the price sony’s a1, a9III and nikon’s Z8, Z6III look way better options also I think the R5 mark II is the real flagship in Canon R lineup

[@airdailyx]

This comes up short for an expensive flagship from canon.

[@spritual_enlightenment]

Video was shot w Sony cams!

[@drewcrawford7812]

Sadly we only got the one copy so couldn't record talking points with it. x( However all of the footage shot on the R1 is labeled.

[@jigjitsu5599]

Very good review. I would choose this over a9iii. Im sure the DR and low noise are top notch!

[@DamianBluntCreative]

This Camera looks so awesome! Would love to add the R1 as an ACam to my R3, which is an absolute beast. Throw in a C400 and Im set lol! 6K is the sweet spot for video resolution and Im fully happy with 24MP for stills, I've never had a client ask me for higher resolution, and image have been printed on billboards and the side of buildings with less resolution. I could see if you shot wildlife and needed to crop heavily, or printed huge fine art prints of highly detailed landscapes (Medium format is better for that any way) but, no one needs 61 megapixels for social media, online, and 98% of print...

[@baekmedier]

I im waiting for the youtube guys and girls to make a R1 as a B cam and a c400 as a A cam review and match the two camreas and show if they would work together for video productions. C-log 2 in both cameras, 24 MP and 26MP sensors.. sharpeness and colors should match since the sensors are somewhat alike.

[@justinjames403]

No can present a valid argument if the word "Cropping' is taken out 🤡🤡. Its a SPORTS CAMERA for F-sake!!....Sports shooters DON'T need high MP, and i am happy that canon DID"NT follow the High-MP hype. And many photographers who are NOT sports photographers have PROVED that 24mp is enough even for 6x4 or 8x10 feet size printouts. IF you want high MP look to the R5,also a very capable and excellent camera, don't vent out your frustration on the R1.

[@JessDemant]

Unfortunately no global shutter 😢

[@nekogami87]

Wasn't that confirmed already that there wouldn't be one ?

[@JessDemant]

@@nekogami87 Yes unfortunately!

[@jeanvargas4919]

GS is proven to be crap in low light. Low light sports games would be a nightmare

[@alistairnitz]

Where is the global shutter, Canon? Sony still the leading innovation camera company.

[@TheCameraStoreTV]

We look forward to running comparisons once we have final production units available.

[@Riskbreaker2009]

A9III VS Z6III VS R3 mark II(R1)

[@dfj555]

You mentioned that the R1 is Canon's ultimate camera, the best of the best; however, the R1's LCD screen is 2.1 MP instead of the R3's 4.1 MP LCD screen. Really Canon?

[@Gokuforreal]

The viewfinder of R1 is 9.44 million pixels, maybe it's to save power, or the screen has better colors and quality I guess.

[@sunil3135]

Rather a better viewfinder than screen for action

[@FerventAstronomy]

How’d you guys get lucky enough to test things on home turf when everyone else had to fly to Phoenix to use the cameras for 2 hours?

[@TheCameraStoreTV]

As a Canon dealer, we had support from Canon Canada to get pre-production access in our city for a couple of days. Still a short period to go over 2 major cameras. But, we were fortunate not to be quite as pressed for time as the content creators who went on the Canon USA press trip.

[@jaegerschtulmann]

What a disappointing flagship tbh! Canon didn't get the memo about mirrorless systems being smaller (plus that flippy screen that is useless for photography). Canon cameras and lenses keep getting bigger and bigger. I frankly don't get their strategy, on one had the have premium fast glass that is absolutely massive and on the other end cheap glass, there's no middle range priced lenses that offer good value. BTW it's called Football Canon, not retarded soccer
