Hi Fabian. Nice to see a real wildlife photographer testing the R1 out, I've had a play with a pre-production unit as well and I was very impressed with the viewfinder and also the AF speed in very low light which was instantaneous in a very dark environment at least using very high end portrait lenses: I had the RF 85mm f/1.2 on it and was in a very poorly lit bar, when I pointed it at people in deep shadow (I could barely see them with my eyes) as soon as I touched the back button AF the camera instantly locked perfect focus on their eyes every time. Be interesting to see how a full production unit compares and whether Canon fix the bizarre issue with the exposure compensation button in manual mode. Cheers Noel from New Zealand
Thanks, Fabian. I've owned the R5II since the ship date here in the US. I won't be buying the R1, but I still wanted to hear what you had to say. Very nice review. I really enjoyed it.
I received my R1 yesterday and tested the buffer this morning. In H+ mode @ 40 fps using Prograde Cobalt v4.0 cards with pre-capture enabled my buffer lasted about 12 seconds before it briefly paused shooting full RAW not cRAW. Overall this represents a buffer of about 500 frames which is very good.
The exposure compensation button weirdness is also on the R3. When it bit me, I went back and checked how it worked on my 1Ds Mk III, which doesn't have auto ISO, and it works the same in manual mode there. Given there isn't a second button on the portrait grip, at least on the R3, it seems this button is just there for compatibility with old bodies. I am actually surprised it wasn't removed from the R1. On the R3 with recent firmware, this button also displays the time of day in the viewfinder, which I have been finding very useful in the field, since the info screen on the back doesn't.
hi Fabian thanks again for this good and informative video. I have long doubted whether the R5 MK II would be the right choice for me. Now that I see this beautiful video about the R1, I believe that the R1 is a better choice for me. I've had the R3. that was a really nice camera. I think the R1 is a good choice and successor in my case. I see no or very little difference in image quality between the R5 MK II and the R1, that was the first thing I noticed in this first comparison. I look forward to your experience with the final/final version of the R1. Kind regards from the Netherlands❤️
Great video and lovely images! If I could afford the R1 I’d definitely get one but I guess I’ll be holding out for a R6 iii with a stacked sensor to replace my mkii.
Nice introduction first look … lovely shots … the images look clean…as they are on our r3… ordered r5 11 in July still not here in uk… missed it for our trip 😡… considering cancelling it and waiting for r1… for next year do love the feeling of r3 and 1 series bodies
Fabian what you really need to do is to test the R1 to the R5 Mk II in very low light with hi ISO I think that would really be the determining factor which is the better camera .
@@FabianFoppNaturephotography I hope so. I shoot with a R3 but cannot afford to upgrade to a R1. By all accounts, the R3's AF was decently better than the original R5, which imho, probably puts it on par with the new R5II and by what you are saying, the R1. So no real improvements to AF.
Sony A1MK2 for me. Because I crop most of time of my Wildlife Shot 50MP is much better compare to 24MP. Also to Add Sony Ecosystem of 3rd Party Lens option is better that can save a ton of money compared to Canon L Mount
If I buy a 6000$ camera, then I prefer to have the native lens as well 😊 especially since there is not many alternatives from third party manufacturers for fast telephoto lenses
@@FabianFoppNaturephotography agree. there is often some faults with third party lens due to incompatible software and hardware limitations like no correction, no focus breathing compensation, slower burst rates. worse IBIS performance. Sony has these limitations too.
Fab, I said it to you on the video for R5II and it is available for R1, too. Try to use another software than Adobe LR, PS or CR. Adobe software it will open the raw files, but they did not optimize yet the software for R5II or R1.
It is great to know the R5II AF is very close to the R1. Please compare their AF when you can get your hands on the production R1. About the small bird on that tree stump situation, I had the same problem, but now I move the frame higher up so that the tree stump is at the bottom of the frame, that way the AF is mostly on the bird. The zone focus also helps. After taking more than 30,000 shots on the R5 II, I will say the R5 II AF is about 30% better than the original R5. The R5 II viewfinder is also brighter and and clearer than the R5. I can't imagine how cool the R1 viewfinder is. They said Sony A1 viewfinder drops to 5.7 million dots during AF tracking but remains 9.4 million for the rest of the time. Is this also true with the R1 viewfinder?
For people that are happy with only 24mp, I don't really see much need to look past the R3. Given that megapixels was really the one main downfall in most people's view of the R3. Yeah the R1 does everything better, but the R3 is already amazing. Surely it's just going to be people with the budget that just have to have the very best available
@FabianFoppNaturephotography yes, but if that feature is important to your needs, why not the R5 mk II. What you need vs cost, I can't see a strong argument for the R1 being the camera you need. Other than just wanting to own the official flagship camers
You can’t change exposure compensation when in manual ISO because you exposure compensation is controlled with ISO. How are you going to let the camera compensate for exposure when the camera isn’t allowed to adjust ISO? So that’s the reason.
Of course, but that’s not my issue. It doesn’t work with Auto ISO!! In my opinion that’s a bug that Canon should fix. The exposure compensation works over the touch screen, just not over the button. Does this make sense to you?
Great honest review, I can't see the increased value over the R5-m2, I think Canon missed a trick, if they had increased the mp to say 30mp then people would be happy they are getting an improvement, but for a bird shooter like me cropping is too important to loose that many MP
Looks decent. Strange about the exposure comp not affecting auto iso though. Is the internal build quality lower than the z9? Less metal, worse weather sealing or something like that? Could that explain the lower weight? I don't shoot canon, but if I did (oh, and had money to burn... Haha) this would be an interesting choice for sure!
@@FabianFoppNaturephotography oh Absolutely! I was mostly curious. I am not suggesting it's poorly made or whatever. It's just a potential weight saving. Once could call it a more efficient design, if one were so inclined. I appreciate my wording was poor. I meant the choice of material, ergo less metal/more plastic. I see how that could be misunderstood.
How would this compare to the R5MII with the battery grip. It seems like the extra battery life and buttons are the only real benefits for wildlife shooters - especially considering the higher cost and lower MP.
You would still have less controls, slower speed, slower readout, smaller viewfinder, worse high iso performance, smaller buffer, more overheating problems.
@@FabianFoppNaturephotography 192 images a minute is most impressive! Interesting, that is 3.19/sec. or just slightly more than Pi/second. For some reason, I'm craving pizza.
What was the capacity of the cards you used in the testing? If you have 512GB or higher, it can slow down even the R5 and R5 MKII when turning on or coming out of sleep. Sounds like the R1 is probably not worth the premium price over the R5 MKII for most wildlife photographers, unless the production model has more accurate tracking than the pre-production one you had.
@@FabianFoppNaturephotography Yes, not surprising. In the R5MKII, a friend of mine has had no slowdowns with ProGrade 4.0 512GB. I tried the Delkin 4.0 512GB and it was slow to wake. Very disappointing! The weird thing is it would happen sometimes with the card empty or only a few hundred shots.
Canon give a moment to the shutter to come down to protect the sensor is because, it is very minimal possibility to catch dust on a sensor in a sec, plus the canon has sensor cleaning features, unless u r changing lens in a sand storm area lol
It’s true that I didn’t have a lot of dust issues with my R5, but it has happened. But I don’t see the advantage of waiting a few seconds before the shutter goes down
I´m a Nikon user, but 12 years ago i was a Canon shooter, and my last camera was a Canon 6D. I have a Nikon Z8, that i really love it, however if i had to go back to Canon again , i would buy the R3 that is a ISO MONSTER! I never had a R1 in my hands, but i had the R3, during 2 days, 3 months ago, and i realyy got amazed with the ISO performance (much better than the Z8!).
To speed up the lens change set a custom button to power off just press custom button which powers camera down then switch off and shutter will come down immediately. Canon need to get their buffer sorted.
I don’t expect any changes to the hardware, just some minor software tweaks. And this can happen at any point via firmware, just look at the Z9. By this logic you can never do a review
Probably a joy to use but definitely the sensor is a disappointment. The next iteration will be a real flagship or not... I agree with your analysis: canon designed this camera for sport photography.
I think we see that camera manufacturers have a different idea of what a flagship is. Canon seems to prefer high iso performance and speed over megapixels
I have not shot them side by side yet. For wildlife I would say that the R1 is leading followed by the A1 and then with a bit more distance the Z9. But this is just my initial feeling, I would really need to test them side by side
Wait wait - exposure comp is non-functional in Manual with Auto-ISO? Do other Canon bodies have this limitation / bug? Sensor guard delay is totally unacceptable. For what this camera is designed for, seconds feel like minutes and will cost you shots. The guard in the Z8/9 is ready before your finger leaves the power switch. I respect Canon as a company but there are some pretty big misses in this flagship body. Maybe fw updates will address? But at this point, I’d go for an R3 at least for my use case / needs.
You can do the exposure compensation, but not over the dedicated button. I went in the menu to do it - super annoying. I asked a friend and apparently the R3 is behaving the same way
How can you say that one is better than the other while at the same time saying that you haven't had enough time to test it out? Isn't it a bit wrong to judge some functions without having tested them as much as, for example, with R5M2. Is otherwise a good comparison and presentation of the R1.
. That‘s why I said that I could not test some functions completely. But then I would need to wait at least 6 months for doing a review and Canon kind of wanted their camera back
@FabianFoppNaturephotography Fabian it would've made more sense if they came up with at least 45-50mp camera as a flagship when they're selling the R5 mark ii inferior sister with the same mp count, is cheaper than both and is the most raved about camera Canon has presently in the market. Personally, I don't like low mp cameras as I know the effects on crop especially when you live in a country like mine where wildlife is present but distant. It becomes really frustrating. The least I can go on a full frame is 32mp and even that sometimes is a great challenge.
For me? Compared to the R5. I was shooting an R5 (which is a very good camera in its’ own right) then moved to an R3. Unless I was shooting in great light, I’ll take the R3 10 times out of 10. It’s hard to believe it’s “just” 24mp, image quality is on another level, especially at 2k ISO and up.
I never blur the background in post. Try to focus with your 35mm to around 40cm. You will see that the background (if it‘s 30m away) looks indeed very creamy
Yea Canon finally catching up with the competition... or not. R5II is a flop, and everything else Canon has is 24mp. Its a good camera, not worth $6000.
@@FabianFoppNaturephotography People thought it could be like Z9 and Z8 combo which are R1 and R5 respectively. Or at least 32MP camera. 6000USP is a huge money. Within this money 24mp not gives us good first impression. Nothing else.
@@imelpomene yeah right... nobody should be surprised 😂 that a R1 would be "only" 24MP. 1 series has been 18-20MP since 2012. that won't change any time soon 😉. If you want high megapickles. go R5 / 5Ds / A7R
You call it a review and then admit that you didn't have time to test it under certain conditions. :) I wouldn't call this movie any kind of review. It's more like free conclusions, a very superficial assessment.
When a new model comes from any company, Theres to many youtubers jumping on band wagon just to get another video out just to upscale there followings, Do the right thing and put a camera/lens through its normal working for 12 month then do a Video on it telling how well@ not so well it performed😊.
Unfortunately, waiting a year to release the first 'review' doesn't hit the clicks so hard. That means less ad sense revenue and less exposure for the brand, which means lower priority for access to new kit, which means the one year review next time will be more like 1.5 years from release. I agree the early superficial reviews mask a lot of potential issues. But that's how the world works. At least it's better than print where you can actually compare multiple reviews the same day and start to see patterns of what is clearly just a spec read and _possibly_ hints at future issues. Then you have to be patient and not be an early adopter and hope for a long term follow up.
It just came out. He said dozens of negative and positive things about the body. He compared it to other brand's options. You just want something to complain about.

@@imelpomene yeah right... nobody should be surprised 😂 that a R1 would be "only" 24MP. 1 series has been 18-20MP since 2012. that won't change any time soon 😉. If you want high megapickles. go R5 / 5Ds / A7R
You call it a review and then admit that you didn't have time to test it under certain conditions. :) I wouldn't call this movie any kind of review. It's more like free conclusions, a very superficial assessment.
To test a camera under all conditions takes at least 6 months, maybe rather a year. As you saw I took a lot of images so it‘s not „free conclusions“
When a new model comes from any company, Theres to many youtubers jumping on band wagon just to get another video out just to upscale there followings, Do the right thing and put a camera/lens through its normal working for 12 month then do a Video on it telling how well@ not so well it performed😊.
As I mentioned: it was not my camera. Canon would not just lend me theirs for 12 months
Unfortunately, waiting a year to release the first 'review' doesn't hit the clicks so hard.
That means less ad sense revenue and less exposure for the brand, which means lower priority for access to new kit, which means the one year review next time will be more like 1.5 years from release.
I agree the early superficial reviews mask a lot of potential issues. But that's how the world works. At least it's better than print where you can actually compare multiple reviews the same day and start to see patterns of what is clearly just a spec read and _possibly_ hints at future issues. Then you have to be patient and not be an early adopter and hope for a long term follow up.
It just came out. He said dozens of negative and positive things about the body. He compared it to other brand's options. You just want something to complain about.
