So being a 24 Megapixel Camera dedicated to Sports it’s not the Master of Everything like promised such as the Nikon Z9 and Sony a1 sadly. If it had 36 Megapixels or more then I feel it would have fulfilled that title the Master of everything which making me now turn my attention to the Canon R5 Mark II as the possible Master of Everything for all my personal needs being Wildlife, Portrait and Event Photographer who wants that ability to capture more of the seen and crop in later as not to miss the action by trying to get the right composition in camera when the action is taking place. 🙏 For Sports and action photography I think the R1 will be best paired with a Zoom lens like the Canon RF 100-300mm f2.8 and the Canon RF 200-500mm F4 when it comes out. It be nice if that has a built in TC also with the switch on the right side this time like Nikon. 😁 Thanks Simon for all your hard work and getting up early and staying up late to keep us up to date and informed 😊
Yes you look at any major sporting event... and it's 90% red rings. I also don't think the Z9 is the master of autofocus, it has some EOS-1D Mark III DNA.
Canon may be hiding a trick in its sleeve. A quad pixel focusing sensor means there are 4 sub-pixels within each pixel. Each sub-pixel sees thing differently. With R1's enormous processing power and AI capability, I won't too surprised that it may be able to generate 48 or 96 MP image - either in camera or off camera using post processing software. BTW it higher dynamic range capability is probably another usage of these sub-pixels

As a sony A1 user i feel the R5II will a camera too watch sounds like a much nicer camera for most people and also a very important camera for canon. I also doubt it will get all the new AF stuff from the R1 and i feel if we have to guess and if it gets a stacked sensor it will probably still run slower than what sony can do but the readout speed will be 5ms or 6ms which will make for a great camera since canon 'allows' more rolling-shutter than sony does (which i think is a good idea). On paper the R5II looks very impressive to me... i am in the sony eco-system mostly and will get the A1M2 but i have to pay for that dearly and the R5II looks like much better value (for the body, not eco system/switch).
Yep. At 24MP, it's a niche camera. Even an iPhone has twice the resolution. Canon needs to shift its marketing to highlight the R5 as their flagship. You can't have a 24MP "flagship" in a market where every other manufacturer offers twice the resolution in theirs.

@christophercarlimages9003 I agree. You're not wrong. I'm saying canon won't deliver for bird photographers in the R1. We are not who they are targeting for this camera. That's all I'm saying, so we have two choices. Go with the r5mk2 or switch to the flagships that are a master of everything. Unfortunately, the r1 isn't for bird photographers but pro event, sports, and photo journalists, and for the photographers that think wildlife don't need more than 24mp, then they clearly have only shot big mamals, or at their local zoo, or local parks where wildlife is used to people around, they haven't attempted far in the back country in the middle of nowhere, miles from humans where cropping is essential for birds and getting close to wildlife is a moral issue. Not a "just get closer and get better at your craft" issue. We know this. I've been using 24mp the last 5 years and it's simply not enough. The photos degrade and fall apart rather quickly in post cropping at 24mp. I'm not sure where I'm going next. Wait for the r7mk2, get The r5mk2 or go with a z9/A1. Every pro wildlife photographer and every hobbiest wildlife photographer i know who has deep pockets, are shooting high resolution cameras for good reason. They arent going back to 24mp. They just aren't. Likewise they arent going back to 5 fps. Cropping is essential to retain detail. Not just for landscape but wildlife such as birds. Trust me I'm with you, I want the r1 body and its weather sealing ruggedness, the battery etc, for wildlife and the rough conditions we face in the field and everything you mentioned. Especially for small birds. but let's be honest.....it won't happen. At least its not looking like it. The R1 will be a niche camera.
How about we wait and see instead of producing 10 videos a day and spamming the feed.

We love you, we aren’t leaving you, cumulate these and shoot one video a week like the frow. Quality over quantity, chill out 🎉😅
@@jimbruton9482Of course not, the R5 was replacing the R/5DIV, that was a massive step forward. The R5II is a nice upgrade, but not the huge step the R5 was.
Where is Canon’s “jack of all trades”? Canon doesn’t have a camera that is “the best” for wildlife shooters. There are 2 great sports cameras and no great (comparable to A1 or Z9) wildlife cameras. I think those who can afford it will be leaving canon if leaked specs are true as stated.
I’m not a sports photographer. Can someone explain to me why the obsession over low light performance for sports photography? If you are buying an R1, you’ll likely have the best L series lenses. I’ve used the R3, R5, R6 and have never been let down by low light performance in near dark conditions for wildlife. Yet all I hear is excuses for low megapixels because it’s better low light performance. How many low MP sports/fast action cameras does canon need? Also where will the future R3 slot in price justification at 5999 if the R1 comes in at 6499? Nobody would ever buy the future R3 for 500 dollars less unless it offers something drastically different.
As a wildlife photographer as well I used the R3 extensively and welcome any improvement in S/N (dynamic range) at high ISO and the R1 is basically an R3 on steroids (higher S/N, faster frame rate, better buffer depth, more precise AF with QPAF, etc.) I expect the R3 to be a one and done camera.
sports photography requires high shutter speed (like over 1/2000 or 1/4000) for most shots to remove any kind of motion blur that can happen with fast moving players. so even if the sports field is well lit, the photographer has to significantly bump the iso to compensate for the fast shutter speed
I shoot Nikon, but I can see some features that are far beyond what is currently available. If the reports of a whole stop better dynamic range and high ISO performance, over the already excellent R3, are true, that is a massive jump when you consider how stagnant improvements in image quality have been over the past few years.
My guess the A1M2 (and so also kind of the Z8/Z9) will not change sensor its now used at 30fps but the sensor itself can run at 44fps. The A1 now is hold back by the parts inside the camera not the sensor. If sony does its normal thing we will get all the new hardware from the A9III and A7R5 (lcd, body, AI chip, EVF fix) the same sensor but given its age i suspect a new upgraded cpu pair and MAYBE gen4 cards. This would really mean just one new module (the cpu's) and bringing parts from other cameras but the A1M2 will be running at 40fps/14bit craw. It sounds like canon can't really match the sensor tech sony has and will instead focus on AF (makes sense to me) and could jump over sony (like in the old days) with AF and tracking but we have no idea if sony has prepped for this and there is more 'hidden' inside that AI chip from sony to be unlocked.
Remember when the R7 came out and promised "autofocus" like the R3? Wasn't even close. This AI autofocus is merely an unproven feature that no one knows how it will work. The R5 (which many people say is what Canon users should use for birds) has a hard time focusing on birds that have any distracting elements near it. It's supposed to have this great eye focus that half the time can't tell the difference between the eye and a twig. So I would take their claims of autofocus with a grain of salt. In either case, I'm sure the autofocus in the R1 will be light years ahead of the R5 MK2. That is almost a guarantee!
The Canon R5/R6 Series will always be the Bread And Buttery for the Entire Foundation of the Canon financial structure, not the R1. So all is riding on the Canon R5ii, not the R1.
The more I hear about the Canon R1, the more impressed I am with the Nikon Z9. It's THREE YEARS OLD and it has all the specs the R1 wishes it could have! Granted the Nikon is probably sporting a Sony sensor . . . but who cares?! I have never owned a Nikon. I've never used a Nikon. Heck, I've never even watched a review on a Nikon camera . . . until today. So far, I like what I see. I can't sit around four more years waiting for a true flagship Canon.
Although the Canon EOS R3 has fewer megapixels than the iPhone 13 Pro Max, the Canon camera will generally deliver higher quality images. Here are some key reasons for this: Sensor Size: Canon EOS R3 has a full-frame sensor (35mm), which is significantly larger than the sensor in the iPhone 13 Pro Max. A larger sensor can capture more light and details, resulting in better image quality, especially in low-light conditions. Pixel Size: The pixels on the Canon EOS R3 sensor are larger than those on the iPhone sensor. Larger pixels can capture more light, resulting in less noise and better details in the images. Lens Quality: Canon EOS R3 uses interchangeable high-quality lenses that can be tailored to different photography situations. These lenses usually have better optics than those integrated into the iPhone. Image Processing: Canon EOS R3 has a more powerful image processor and more advanced image processing software than the iPhone. This allows the camera to handle noise reduction, dynamic range, and color reproduction more effectively. Dynamic Range: Canon EOS R3 has a greater dynamic range, meaning it can capture more details in both highlight and shadow areas in the same image. Focus and Shutter: Canon EOS R3 has advanced autofocus systems and high-speed shutters that provide better control over focusing and exposure. This is especially important in situations with a lot of movement or in low light. Photographic Technology and Controls: Canon EOS R3 offers more manual controls and advanced features for professional photography. This gives the photographer more creative freedom and control over the image-taking process. Use of RAW Format: Canon EOS R3 allows shooting in RAW format, which stores more information and provides greater flexibility in post-processing. Although iPhone also supports RAW, files from the Canon camera are often more detailed and yield better results after editing. While the iPhone 13 Pro Max has an impressive camera for a smartphone, it cannot compete with the professional features and superior hardware of a full-frame system camera like the Canon EOS R3. Therefore, the Canon EOS R3 will deliver higher quality images with more details, even with fewer megapixels.
@@mytrollchildren6715 , I have owned the R3 and shot with it extensively. The features are very cool. The AF is amazing. But the output was extremely disappointing. I felt I wasted an entire spring migration season on it. The features of a camera don't matter if the output isn't up to standards. Times have changed. Technology has progressed. In 2024, shooting birds, wildlife, and aviation, 24MP just can't cut it. People expect more these days. They expect DETAIL -- iris detail, feather detail, skin texture. Even the R7 (with enough light) produces better, more detailed images than the R3. I loved the R3 AF, features, and ergonomics. I loved using it. But the images were a waste of time -- okay for Facebook and Instagram (where images are dumbed down anyway), but nowhere else. Times have changed. People like to be able to study the subject nowadays -- not just have a nice aesthetic impression.
Or it further solidifies the rumours that the R3 was the R1 but with Sony releasing the A1 and Nikon releasing the Z9, canon took a step back and renamed the R1 to the R3 in order to not compete in the 45 MP stacked flagship wars. The current R1 rumours make it sound more like an R3 mkii then that 45 MP stacked flagship that the A1 and Z9/8 lines compete in
What excites me is that if the rumors are true, it is a better version of the R3 in all regards. My fear was that it might have a lot of downsides like the lack of a mechanical shutter or too much resolution. Now the R1 might be an R3 with two CFExpress slots instead of one, a full HDMI slots, one stop more dynamic range, a much better viewfinder and much more.
with the R3 body size not having a full hdmi was a joke really and so was only 1 fast slot. But even if the R1 sounds nice it more and more sounds like a R3II and the R5 will be the more exciting camera for many canon users.
@@scb2scb2 Yes, that is a constant annoyance. I can't wait to be rid of that stupid cable forever. I understood the choice of the SD slot, people had bad memories of CFast.
@@scb2scb2 I think it really depends on your needs for a camera with high resolution. I typically make photobooks with my wildlife photography and my maximum print size is typically a page which is 8x10. For an 8x10 print one only needs 7.2 MP for 300 dpi quality. There are definitely needs for higher resolution sensor for when one needs to crop heavily or make extremely large prints. Currently I use a Nikon Z9 and Canon R3 for cameras with lenses for both systems.
Also photojournalism will be happy too. You need to shoot with high ISO and be able to get some good shots. The Canon R3 is the news go to camera. The A9 III has global shutter, but lacks the high ISO capabilities rumored for the R1.
Honestly what has been keeping me away from the R5 it’s the megapixels and it’s not because they aren’t useful but because of amount of money I’m gonna have to spend on CF express type B and the amount of storage I will need. 6k if it’s prime 6k then that’s plenty for me. I’ll just put it as a write off.
Only 24 mp …😢 but I suppose upscale software is getting very good..and will probably get better….if the quad auto focus and the rest of the specs are great it might be still on the list…probably get a r5 11 though… mainly because it’s going to be on sale soon… and it’s much cheaper to complement my r3
2 ms read out @ 24 MP is same as 3.7 ms & 45.7 MP of Z9. And its missing on 8K 60RAW .... If this is the best Canon can do then over a period of say four years they ll be behind Nikon in almost all respects before considering the impact of RED & IntoPix collab... Its bad news for everything Canon Times... They are a changin
@@OrdinaryFilmmaker My point is that apart from AF, Canon is falling behind. A top of the line camera with 21 MP less than competition & no 8k 60 RAW is not going anywhere.
I think that 33Mpx sensor (8K size) is a sweet spot for pixel count, dynamics and fast shooting...also perfect for 8K videos, I'm wondering why Canon didn't offer that size for R1
My iPhone has a 48MP camera. Apple decided 24MP was no longer enough. I agree with Apple. Images just look better when you can see more detail. But admittedly . . . if you're doing portraits of senior citizens in a nursing home . . . 24MP is MORE than enough! Let's hope the R5ii is a bigger upgrade over the R5 than the R1 is over the R3.
First the iphone is a 12mp sensor with a quad bayer arrangement which makes it "48mp". With samsungs sensors (and i would assume iphone's sony sensors) this allows for quad pixel autofocus. That would be similar to calling this 24mp R1 a 96mp sensor. Also, if you take your brand new iphone 15 pro max and take a photo out the box, 24mp file. Isn't that crazy. Maybe it is enough.
I think you guys missed my point. I'm not saying an iPhone has a BETTER camera. I'm just saying that technology and expectations have moved forward since the 1Dx was introduced. Anyone can readily see the difference between a 24MP image and a 45MP image (even though they may not know why) and, by today's standards, all other things being equal, the 45MP image almost always wins. The Sony and Nikon (and other manufacturers) flagship cameras reflect that reality.
@@billmartin1010 Yes, and this sensor will be a big leap forward. Resolution and image quality aren't mutually exclusive. An R3 file is way prettier than an R5 file.
I do respect Canon who subscribes to the notion “ the right tool for the right job” . Saying that though I wonder if they end up hurting sales ? I mean if the R1 was 45mp, would they be selling way more than I think they will sell with it being 24mp? I mean the ringer is the R3 at 24mp. Is the R1 tempting enough for R3 owners to upgrade ? Please let me know your thoughts . 👍🏻📸
As a current R3 owner, I hesitate to upgrade mine to R1…unless R1 completely blow my R3 away….i seriously doubted. Canon is so far behind Sony for the sensor….
The R1 is coming in July. Canon EOS R1 was meant to compete with the Sony a9 III. It’s going to be a good wildlife, sports and photojournalist camera. Have no idea why people are complaining about its 24 MP sensor. For 45 MP there will be the R5 Mark II.
Watch for the details and specifics in the comments. Those that are detailed and specific are talking from experience, those that are generalizing are not. ;) It's an old interviewing trick... always look for concise detail in answers.
@@JohnSwen-p6b I do too, but it’s the only high megapixel canon has to offer, so what other choice do we have. If they offered a “flagship” style camera with high megapixels I would use that instead.
Should wildlife and bird photographers accept rolling shutter, second tier autofocus, weak battery that inhibits mechanical frame rates and doesn't push big primes as quickly, most likely smaller bit rate than the R1, and a body that is an egg in comparison to the R1.

A higher megapixel count is not always a good thing. When discussing megapixel count,people often forget the pixel density, which is also an important variable. As pixel density increases, the shutter speed required to avoid camera shake/motion blur increases. This may not be an issue for stationary subjects, but for this kind of photography/for moving subjects, it is crucial. Canon should not be criticized for this, but respected for not following the market trend.
Well said. For most of my life I either shot on film or shot less than 24 MP and seemed to manage, but where things fell apart was low light. It costs a lot of play well in low light and the R1 is very much a low light tool.
@@OrdinaryFilmmaker I could not have said this better myself. I usually shoot wildlife and an happy to see a manufacturer stick with 24 MP in a top-tier camera. I have used Canon since 2016 and plan to buy a R1 and R5 Mk2. I like the R5 for landscapes and macro, but will likely use the R1 for action (sports / wildlife) photography.
Simply I won’t pay $6500 if that is the R1 MSRP for just 24 mp. I will let the pros have it.
And they will buy it.
@@alansach8437 Sure, let them have it

Because Sony cameras are full of caveats and built like crap?
Sadly in the last weeks you make a lot of noise about nothing with exaggerated theatrical thumbnail.

But it won't have the same impact or amount of sales as the original R5.
@@jimbruton9482Of course not, the R5 was replacing the R/5DIV, that was a massive step forward. The R5II is a nice upgrade, but not the huge step the R5 was.
Where is Canon’s “jack of all trades”? Canon doesn’t have a camera that is “the best” for wildlife shooters. There are 2 great sports cameras and no great (comparable to A1 or Z9) wildlife cameras. I think those who can afford it will be leaving canon if leaked specs are true as stated.
I’m not a sports photographer. Can someone explain to me why the obsession over low light performance for sports photography? If you are buying an R1, you’ll likely have the best L series lenses. I’ve used the R3, R5, R6 and have never been let down by low light performance in near dark conditions for wildlife. Yet all I hear is excuses for low megapixels because it’s better low light performance. How many low MP sports/fast action cameras does canon need? Also where will the future R3 slot in price justification at 5999 if the R1 comes in at 6499? Nobody would ever buy the future R3 for 500 dollars less unless it offers something drastically different.
As a wildlife photographer as well I used the R3 extensively and welcome any improvement in S/N (dynamic range) at high ISO and the R1 is basically an R3 on steroids (higher S/N, faster frame rate, better buffer depth, more precise AF with QPAF, etc.) I expect the R3 to be a one and done camera.
sports photography requires high shutter speed (like over 1/2000 or 1/4000) for most shots to remove any kind of motion blur that can happen with fast moving players. so even if the sports field is well lit, the photographer has to significantly bump the iso to compensate for the fast shutter speed
If this is the best Canon can offer I fear when the Sony A1 mk II and Nikon Z9 mk II release it will see Canon shooters leaving in their droves
I'm definitely not buying any more Canon lenses until I see the Sony a1 mk.ii.
I shoot Nikon, but I can see some features that are far beyond what is currently available. If the reports of a whole stop better dynamic range and high ISO performance, over the already excellent R3, are true, that is a massive jump when you consider how stagnant improvements in image quality have been over the past few years.
My guess the A1M2 (and so also kind of the Z8/Z9) will not change sensor its now used at 30fps but the sensor itself can run at 44fps. The A1 now is hold back by the parts inside the camera not the sensor. If sony does its normal thing we will get all the new hardware from the A9III and A7R5 (lcd, body, AI chip, EVF fix) the same sensor but given its age i suspect a new upgraded cpu pair and MAYBE gen4 cards. This would really mean just one new module (the cpu's) and bringing parts from other cameras but the A1M2 will be running at 40fps/14bit craw. It sounds like canon can't really match the sensor tech sony has and will instead focus on AF (makes sense to me) and could jump over sony (like in the old days) with AF and tracking but we have no idea if sony has prepped for this and there is more 'hidden' inside that AI chip from sony to be unlocked.
I think perhaps for now we have reached close to the limits & the A1ii & Z9ii will be able to offer too much more, guess we see in the next year.
You guys have said that for the last 10+ years. Remember who buys these cameras.... it's not a retail driven product.
Remember when the R7 came out and promised "autofocus" like the R3? Wasn't even close. This AI autofocus is merely an unproven feature that no one knows how it will work. The R5 (which many people say is what Canon users should use for birds) has a hard time focusing on birds that have any distracting elements near it. It's supposed to have this great eye focus that half the time can't tell the difference between the eye and a twig. So I would take their claims of autofocus with a grain of salt. In either case, I'm sure the autofocus in the R1 will be light years ahead of the R5 MK2. That is almost a guarantee!
The Canon R5/R6 Series will always be the Bread And Buttery for the Entire Foundation of the Canon financial structure, not the R1. So all is riding on the Canon R5ii, not the R1.
The more I hear about the Canon R1, the more impressed I am with the Nikon Z9. It's THREE YEARS OLD and it has all the specs the R1 wishes it could have! Granted the Nikon is probably sporting a Sony sensor . . . but who cares?! I have never owned a Nikon. I've never used a Nikon. Heck, I've never even watched a review on a Nikon camera . . . until today. So far, I like what I see. I can't sit around four more years waiting for a true flagship Canon.
Although the Canon EOS R3 has fewer megapixels than the iPhone 13 Pro Max, the Canon camera will generally deliver higher quality images. Here are some key reasons for this:
Sensor Size:
Canon EOS R3 has a full-frame sensor (35mm), which is significantly larger than the sensor in the iPhone 13 Pro Max. A larger sensor can capture more light and details, resulting in better image quality, especially in low-light conditions.
Pixel Size:
The pixels on the Canon EOS R3 sensor are larger than those on the iPhone sensor. Larger pixels can capture more light, resulting in less noise and better details in the images.
Lens Quality:
Canon EOS R3 uses interchangeable high-quality lenses that can be tailored to different photography situations. These lenses usually have better optics than those integrated into the iPhone.
Image Processing:
Canon EOS R3 has a more powerful image processor and more advanced image processing software than the iPhone. This allows the camera to handle noise reduction, dynamic range, and color reproduction more effectively.
Dynamic Range:
Canon EOS R3 has a greater dynamic range, meaning it can capture more details in both highlight and shadow areas in the same image.
Focus and Shutter:
Canon EOS R3 has advanced autofocus systems and high-speed shutters that provide better control over focusing and exposure. This is especially important in situations with a lot of movement or in low light.
Photographic Technology and Controls:
Canon EOS R3 offers more manual controls and advanced features for professional photography. This gives the photographer more creative freedom and control over the image-taking process.
Use of RAW Format:
Canon EOS R3 allows shooting in RAW format, which stores more information and provides greater flexibility in post-processing. Although iPhone also supports RAW, files from the Canon camera are often more detailed and yield better results after editing.
While the iPhone 13 Pro Max has an impressive camera for a smartphone, it cannot compete with the professional features and superior hardware of a full-frame system camera like the Canon EOS R3. Therefore, the Canon EOS R3 will deliver higher quality images with more details, even with fewer megapixels.
Does the Z9 actually competently focus now? It's still behind the R3 by all accounts.
@@mytrollchildren6715 , I have owned the R3 and shot with it extensively. The features are very cool. The AF is amazing. But the output was extremely disappointing. I felt I wasted an entire spring migration season on it. The features of a camera don't matter if the output isn't up to standards. Times have changed. Technology has progressed. In 2024, shooting birds, wildlife, and aviation, 24MP just can't cut it. People expect more these days. They expect DETAIL -- iris detail, feather detail, skin texture. Even the R7 (with enough light) produces better, more detailed images than the R3. I loved the R3 AF, features, and ergonomics. I loved using it. But the images were a waste of time -- okay for Facebook and Instagram (where images are dumbed down anyway), but nowhere else. Times have changed. People like to be able to study the subject nowadays -- not just have a nice aesthetic impression.
@@CB-jg6jyI have both cameras and the auto focus is neck and neck .. Nikon z9 got so much better with last updates.
@@CB-jg6jyit’s beating the A1 in all the wildlife reviews for AF. As of the latest firmware releases 4.x
If this holds true, the R1 is an R3 MkII. This is why I don‘t believe those rumors
24MP...
We need some news about the new RF prime lenses and Sigma lenses for the full frame system.
6k Video...... $7000 😂😂😂
What does this mean for the R3 line? Feel like if the R1 is 24MP that line could be dead.
Or it further solidifies the rumours that the R3 was the R1 but with Sony releasing the A1 and Nikon releasing the Z9, canon took a step back and renamed the R1 to the R3 in order to not compete in the 45 MP stacked flagship wars.
The current R1 rumours make it sound more like an R3 mkii then that 45 MP stacked flagship that the A1 and Z9/8 lines compete in
I see the R3 as the lite version of the R1.
R3 might be a one and done camera like EOS-3 was.
Why did all the talk about OLED screens disappear?
Possibly version 2 eye tracking will actually eye track.
" The master of everything Canon R1 "
What excites me is that if the rumors are true, it is a better version of the R3 in all regards. My fear was that it might have a lot of downsides like the lack of a mechanical shutter or too much resolution.
Now the R1 might be an R3 with two CFExpress slots instead of one, a full HDMI slots, one stop more dynamic range, a much better viewfinder and much more.
The viewfinder looks bonkers based on the size.
with the R3 body size not having a full hdmi was a joke really and so was only 1 fast slot. But even if the R1 sounds nice it more and more sounds like a R3II and the R5 will be the more exciting camera for many canon users.
@@scb2scb2 Yes, that is a constant annoyance. I can't wait to be rid of that stupid cable forever.
I understood the choice of the SD slot, people had bad memories of CFast.
@@scb2scb2 I think it really depends on your needs for a camera with high resolution. I typically make photobooks with my wildlife photography and my maximum print size is typically a page which is 8x10. For an 8x10 print one only needs 7.2 MP for 300 dpi quality. There are definitely needs for higher resolution sensor for when one needs to crop heavily or make extremely large prints. Currently I use a Nikon Z9 and Canon R3 for cameras with lenses for both systems.
Also photojournalism will be happy too. You need to shoot with high ISO and be able to get some good shots. The Canon R3 is the news go to camera. The A9 III has global shutter, but lacks the high ISO capabilities rumored for the R1.
That's what I like about all these specs. They are photo specific specs giving us an idea of who it is for rather than focusing on the video specs.
first!
That's what she said.
Honestly what has been keeping me away from the R5 it’s the megapixels and it’s not because they aren’t useful but because of amount of money I’m gonna have to spend on CF
express type B and the amount of storage I will need.
6k if it’s prime 6k then that’s plenty for me.
I’ll just put it as a write off.
Only 24 mp …😢 but I suppose upscale software is getting very good..and will probably get better….if the quad auto focus and the rest of the specs are great it might be still on the list…probably get a r5 11 though… mainly because it’s going to be on sale soon… and it’s much cheaper to complement my r3
are the Rumors 100% real? maybe yes mayby no....what?
Always good to spend $6500 on a camera and then have to rely on gimmicky software to upscale 😂🤣
Thanks Simon for your relentless pursuit to getting all the relevant info about new cameras and your always thoughtful insights - do you ever sleep ?
16 bit Mechanical 14bit Electronic ? what he Mechanical this is the first time that you said the R1 has a Mechanical shutter and what FPS ?
For stills shooters is it time to move up to medium format with Fujifilm?
2 ms read out @ 24 MP is same as 3.7 ms & 45.7 MP of Z9.
And its missing on 8K 60RAW ....
If this is the best Canon can do then over a period of say four years they ll be behind Nikon in almost all respects before considering the impact of RED & IntoPix collab...
Its bad news for everything Canon
Times... They are a changin
What's your point? You're comparing specs, not outcomes. What will the R do that the Z9 can't?
@@OrdinaryFilmmaker My point is that apart from AF, Canon is falling behind.
A top of the line camera with 21 MP less than competition & no 8k 60 RAW is not going anywhere.
It could be at least 30mp.
Why? What would that do? add 700 pixels horizontal and 400 pixels vertical? Woo! No one is going to see the 10% difference.
Merci pour cette vidéo et pour qu’il soit parfait il ne lui manque plus que les filtres nd 🎥🎬

Jmarc 😎
Je dirais le couple parfait avec R1 24-105/2.8 et 120-300/2.8 👍👍😎
Dude. Get some rest. No one would be upset if you did one video a day. 😂
Resting today. Got out of bed at 8:30 ;)
I think that 33Mpx sensor (8K size) is a sweet spot for pixel count, dynamics and fast shooting...also perfect for 8K videos, I'm wondering why Canon didn't offer that size for R1
Doesn't it need to be 45mp in the 3:2 photo format so that it can be 33mp in the 16:9 video format?
@@WestVirginiaWildlife you are right, my mistake
June 3rd!!!! 🎊 🎉 💫⚡️☃️🪃
My iPhone has a 48MP camera. Apple decided 24MP was no longer enough. I agree with Apple. Images just look better when you can see more detail. But admittedly . . . if you're doing portraits of senior citizens in a nursing home . . . 24MP is MORE than enough! Let's hope the R5ii is a bigger upgrade over the R5 than the R1 is over the R3.
My phone has more than 100 megapixels, but my old X-T2 with 24MP still takes better images.
First the iphone is a 12mp sensor with a quad bayer arrangement which makes it "48mp". With samsungs sensors (and i would assume iphone's sony sensors) this allows for quad pixel autofocus. That would be similar to calling this 24mp R1 a 96mp sensor. Also, if you take your brand new iphone 15 pro max and take a photo out the box, 24mp file. Isn't that crazy. Maybe it is enough.
Your iphone camera sucks though.
I think you guys missed my point. I'm not saying an iPhone has a BETTER camera. I'm just saying that technology and expectations have moved forward since the 1Dx was introduced. Anyone can readily see the difference between a 24MP image and a 45MP image (even though they may not know why) and, by today's standards, all other things being equal, the 45MP image almost always wins. The Sony and Nikon (and other manufacturers) flagship cameras reflect that reality.
@@billmartin1010 Yes, and this sensor will be a big leap forward.
Resolution and image quality aren't mutually exclusive.
An R3 file is way prettier than an R5 file.
I do respect Canon who subscribes to the notion “ the right tool for the right job” . Saying that though I wonder if they end up hurting sales ? I mean if the R1 was 45mp, would they be selling way more than I think they will sell with it being 24mp? I mean the ringer is the R3 at 24mp. Is the R1 tempting enough for R3 owners to upgrade ? Please let me know your thoughts . 👍🏻📸
As a current R3 owner, I hesitate to upgrade mine to R1…unless R1 completely blow my R3 away….i seriously doubted. Canon is so far behind Sony for the sensor….
@@Whatever-f6v I know . I mean the extra money I am saving v for an R1 , I could put towards some lenses .
Especially now you can get an R3 which can do everything the R1 can do at a significant discount...
As a R3 user I do plan to upgrade to the R1. The R1 appears to be a R3 on steroids.
The R1 is coming in July. Canon EOS R1 was meant to compete with the Sony a9 III. It’s going to be a good wildlife, sports and photojournalist camera. Have no idea why people are complaining about its 24 MP sensor. For 45 MP there will be the R5 Mark II.
Watch for the details and specifics in the comments. Those that are detailed and specific are talking from experience, those that are generalizing are not. ;) It's an old interviewing trick... always look for concise detail in answers.
Because the R5 (currently) is not a full featured pro level camera.
@@zeiss1382 That is surprising to hear. I know many professional photographers who use the R5.
@@JohnSwen-p6b I do too, but it’s the only high megapixel canon has to offer, so what other choice do we have. If they offered a “flagship” style camera with high megapixels I would use that instead.
Should wildlife and bird photographers accept rolling shutter, second tier autofocus, weak battery that inhibits mechanical frame rates and doesn't push big primes as quickly, most likely smaller bit rate than the R1, and a body that is an egg in comparison to the R1. If those limitations are OK with you, then buy the R5 MK2. Some of us prefer better.
A higher megapixel count is not always a good thing. When discussing megapixel count,people often forget the pixel density, which is also an important variable. As pixel density increases, the shutter speed required to avoid camera shake/motion blur increases. This may not be an issue for stationary subjects, but for this kind of photography/for moving subjects, it is crucial. Canon should not be criticized for this, but respected for not following the market trend.
Well said. For most of my life I either shot on film or shot less than 24 MP and seemed to manage, but where things fell apart was low light. It costs a lot of play well in low light and the R1 is very much a low light tool.
@@OrdinaryFilmmaker I could not have said this better myself. I usually shoot wildlife and an happy to see a manufacturer stick with 24 MP in a top-tier camera. I have used Canon since 2016 and plan to buy a R1 and R5 Mk2. I like the R5 for landscapes and macro, but will likely use the R1 for action (sports / wildlife) photography.
Right, a one pixel camera would show no camera shake/motion blur.
very peculiar these "leaks" show zero views of the rear of the camera; kinda has me thinking this is a controlled leak of sorts, meh 🫤
