People forget the top end cameras from canon were for Journalists so features of the r1 is ideal for poor rough conditions…..in which you have to have to get the shot no matter what. It has max low light ability, max dynamic range, max auto focus and tracking abilities, max weather sealing and toughness, max durability etc. It gets the job done.
Best AF . . . for three sports. Great if you happen to be one of the fourteen people who shoot those three sports professionally. But the ergonomics -- you've got something there.
I don't understand the hoopla! If you like the product, buy it! If not, don't! As far as timing of release, they released the 1dxiii in 2020. Anyone paying attention to Canon for years knew right then that the next flagship would come out in 2024. That's what they do.
Hi, i shoot with an R3 and a R5 and i am glad Canon are the only company who offer two pro bodies. The biggest reason i shoot Canon is for reliability and the R1is a flag ship from a price weather sealing ,reliability and tech not just megapixels. All flag ship cameras in the very recent past were fast low megapixel high buffer cameras so why the new narrative,it’s getting tiring listening to maybes or what if’s,the facts are every manufacturer caters for every type of photography and i prefer the built in grip and accurate autofocus over megapixels but everyone to there own
@RockPoliticscome on over to Nikon. Z8/Z9 plus great selection of Z mount lenses. I left Canon and have zero regrets. Sony even better than Canon now but personally I can't deal with their ergonomics and body style. Most Canon users will blindly buy but you can break that trend with some courage😂. Either way, good luck!
If you want a global shutter, go buy the Sony A9iii. Not everyone wants a global shutter just because we saw another company do it. R1 is the best camera I would want
Even professional photographers and reviewers are fixated, perhaps subconsciously, on megapixels. If the R1 had released with 45 or more megapixels they would have hailed it as the greatest camera ever. I think you're making some unwarranted assumptions about Canon's fabrication process.
I've shot both the R3 and the R5 long term. There's a significant, if intangible difference in image quality. Even though I prefer using the R3, the R5 images are a step above. If I'm entering the images in competition or selling them, I always try to have more MP's in the image.
To those who are defending the R1. I understand where you are coming from but these days a lot of sales of high end camera gear come from the rich amateur gear heads that want the latest and greatest. Compared to them the professional photo journalist/sports photography market is quite smaller and tend to stick with their older but familiar gear unless their company buys the gear for them. I know a few pros and they are still using their trusty 1DX. The only one I know who is using an R3 have no plan to upgrade for at least a few years more. So from a marketing perspective it makes sense to also appeal to the gear heads because they tend to upgrade more and unfortunately they want a flagship body that also have high megapixels like the Nikon z9 and Sony A1. I think this is the main core of the complaints from the critical side.
Hey Joseph, the R3 will shoot 195 FPS (with a bunch of caveats...), a feature they removed from the R1... curious if they'll bring that back as it was a "feature" they did add to the R3 when Nikon announced a similar feature...
I know marketing really pumps more and more when it comes to sensors but I've been completely happy with my sensors ever since the 7D MKII , Ive was taught that nothing will ever beat proper composition
The quick comment about the original R not being much more than an upgraded 5DIV is funny. It was Canon's first generation mirrorless camera. Does anyone remember other manufacturer's first gen mirrorless? Were they flagship caliber? Of course not, but because it's Canon, the R was supposed to be the greatest thing since the change to CMOS sensors. And the same thing goes for Canon's R lens lineup. After 5 years, the major complaints revolved around the 'incomplete R lens lineup'. Question: Was Sony's mirrorless lens lineup complete after its first 5 years of existance? Nope, AND, Sony users were buying adapters so they could use CANON LENSES! Having said all that, I shoot an R5, Canon's second gen mirrorless and look at how well it has performed. Was Sony's second gen comparable? Nikon's? Nope. The R5 was being compared to Sony's flagship and did rather well. Sony was a bit better, but comparing Canon's second gen pro-sumer camera to Sony's flagship, what did one expect. Anyway, Canon is just fine. And, if you like Canon and want lotsa' pixels, the R5II ain't bad.
The purple light reflecting off your glasses is. Bit distracting. To me, all the so called backlash is Canon now should know people want a pro body, big battery, with high mp count that maybe doesnt need to be as fast as the R1 (but the R5ii now probably means it needs to be faster lol) They can test that with the R3ii or jump in with an R2. Said differently it might be time to move on from 24mp. Oh, I like the zoom L lenses that appear to replacing their older prime (100-300/2.8 and the rumoured zoom 500/4) but the DO lenses would be nice
I know sensor size is not the be-all, end-all for camera capabilities, but when you have "mid-grade" prosumer cameras with 45MP sensors and even a lower(ish)-end crop-body with 32MP (the R7 is my personal camera), why would you put out a flagship with only a 24MP sensor? It's doesn't have to be some super-spacey-ubersensor with 150MP or anything, but why not use a 36 or 45MP sensor in the R1? And if they want to make the argument that it's not "good enough" to call a flagship, how do they justify putting it in any camera? Again, I know the MP is just one part of a bigger picture (so to speak), but I have yet to hear a legitimate explanation for why a smaller sensor is preferred.
People claim the lower noise of less mpx and less storage/workflow/data movement. I think it's merely a left over myth from a decade ago before better computer hardware and software, and ubiquitous and fast connectivity.
@@christophercarlimages9003If you were working in a war zone and the best "connectivity" available was 750kb Wi-fi you would understand why you didn't want to be bogged down with 45 or 61 megapixel images.
Hi Jo, good video 😊, but I disagree concerning the missing lenses in the middle of the line. As of now there are three sets of lenses covering almost everything: the f 2.8 set, the f 4 set and the variable aperture set plus a bunch of primes, not to mention he coming f 1.4 set of lenses. I own or have owned almost all of those lenses and I am using them with my R5 and my R3. You could always wish for more, but as of now I don’t really see the lenses that are badly missing, although I might grab the 50 1.4 when it comes out although I have the 50 1.2 and the 50 1.8. Which lenses do you specifically feel are lacking? Have a good day 😀 Alexander
I was considering the R10 Mk. II but it looks like its not coming out till next year. So I'm sticking with my Canon SL 1 for another year. Talk about the Canon R10 Mk. II has gone radio silent in the last couple of months and that is a concern. Its possible that Canon is aiming just at the professional market and is leaving the lower end cameras as they are with few if any new products in the sub $2,000 market.
Question why does the Canon EOS R5 Mk ii, doesn't allow the R5 battery and ordering seems hard too. #2. Do they test the power that it takes to run each camera or does the battery limit us on purpose. I mean before I purchase it I have questions. At the end of the day my Canon EOS 90D has two batteries I can really shoot all day. I had one major issue with I had to get the insurance just for repair. I was sad. The screen started to show lines and double images on the screen for display. The battery grip and heavy lens would freeze up the camera badly. I miss a few bird shoots because of the. On the other hand, the repair was soiled. Thinking about sending for repair again but it's only maintenance. Love the information you passed off.
What I do find odd is no Waveform on R1 which is the flagship but R5mk2 does. Waveform is a critical pro feature for insuring proper exposure. Global shutter introduces DR issues for now maybe later that is addressed.

From the reviews it looks like canon is relying more on lens correction instead of making quality lenses instead. I believe they would sell more bodies with more lenses especially from third parties. This was an excellent breakdown
That is not correct. RF lenses are better than predecessors in general. That said, EF are very good and you can adapt and continue to use for many more years.
@@fredepstein have you seen reviews on the new 35mm L or the other wide lenses or even the 24-105mm? In my opinion they are compromised lenses. There’s a difference between buying something and expecting it not to have compromises especially at their prices. I use a 50mm fd lens but I expect the lens not to perform like a modern lens. Lenses that struggle to focus or crop to fix the image is not great in my opinion.
@@jujus_reviews most of the RF lenses have very good reviews. If you are talking about the 24-105 f2.8, no, I have not seen the reviews. I have the f4 and like it very much. What you are describing in my opinion are exceptions. I believe the problem with Canon is not with the L lenses, but some of middle ground lenses. Not a lot of good options when you compare with Sony for example. Part of the problem is they did not open the RF mount for other manufactures. That said, I like to buy the good preowned EF L lenses. Very good value. I don’t care I need the adapter.
@@fredepstein , the early RF lenses are excellent. Even with corrections turned off. The RF 85mm f/1.2 is a superb example. The newer RF lenses demand in-camera software correction, though. Without help, they are pretty badly distorted -- lots of "bowtie" distortion. The worst I've ever seen. OTOH, if your in-camera software goes down, your camera probably doesn't function anymore anyway. How often are you going to shoot these lenses without "help?"
@@billmartin1663 I think the 35mm was not really made for stills. It was designed for videos with heavy focus on eliminating focus breathing at expense of having some distortion on the edges. That said, almost all the other RFs are excellent for stills. Sharp and with low distortion. People get a few not good examples to generalize things…
The Canon R1 sensor is great 👍👍from what I have been hearing it's one of the best sensors for full frame photography. The R1 may not be big on the Megapixels but it doesn't have to be, it's what the target customer likes, which is mostly pro sports photographers, just look at the camera used most at the Paris Olympics. If the R1 is not your jam there's the R5 Mark II and R3 ❤On the flip side, Canon camera gear is expensive, so it's not for everybody. IMO
Sony are ahead in terms of fabricating sensors, they make the sensors in most the cameras. Pansonic, Leica, Nikon, Kinefinity, Zcam and more all use primarilty Sony sensors ATM.
We live in a fact based industry. Body canon is not no 1. Lenses are not either. The test shown Nikon 135 1.8 beats canon and Sony version. 50 1.2 also goes to other brand. Not sure about the 85 1.2 between Nikon or Canon. Still if you don't have the best body or the best lenses, for someone buying a camera first time. It's not hard to pick the other brands. N pricing too. Cost more thant Nikon but in many categories inferior
1) Which part of the "global shutter has lower dynamic range" don't you understand ? 2) Why do you want a global shutter ? Did you try R1 sensor and check if you need a faster readout ? 3) Why are you guessing the reasons Canon does not want global shutter sensor for their flagship when you can find the cost on DR with few clicks? 4) Which logic exactly are you using to call R1 R3mk2 ? Pixel count ? Similar design ? Did you check the actual performance ? 5) Where are you getting this "Canon is behind with sensors" from ? Did you acually compare R3 sensor or new R1 to other cameras ? 6) How do you evaluate sensors ? Reading specs ? 7) You are talking about camera company dominating the market and know better then their management ? 8) How much of these statemets is based on facts and how much products of your imagination ?
Hi Jo, I can tell you the huge benefit for the R3 over the R1: it does serve the enormous club of SD-card fanboys which is completely neglected by the R1🙈 One might think this club is also the reason the R5ii didn't receive dual CFxB .. but that rather seems because it would be hard to dissipate the heat in a body without integrated grip.
After so many years waiting for a true innovative R1 I dont care what Canon may say. No excuses. The R1 its far from what we have been expected after so many years.
Agreed. Calling the R3 "not a flagship" left the strong impression that something truly special was coming. Instead, they made a mild refresh of the R3 and called it an R1.
Never seen any of your videos and was hoping - since you didn't seem to be one of the usual influencers - that we'd get something more thoughtful and not the usual internet bull. Looks like we're not. Could we please put to rest the baloney that the R3 was really the R1? 1 series camera released every 4 years. The R1 was not delayed, was not the R3, it came out exactly when it was supposed to. And fits exactly Canon's approach to mirrorless. They weren't going to put our a 5 series - or even a 6 series camera until they were advanced enough with mirrorless tech. So while they were striving to reach a point they were satisfied with, that would meet their standards, they gave us the R and RP as a sort of "stop-gap" measure. Same story with the 1 series R1. The R3 was the stop-gap while the R1 was still in development for it's intended 2024 release. While some may complain and criticize Canon for this approach, I personally would rather have a company wait until they have a product that meets their standard of quality, rather than rush out Beta products, they way Sony did for many years, and arguably did with the A9 III. So while Canon is being criticized once again for not using a global shutter in the R1, it follows their philosophy od not rushing products out with specs that may not really be ready. Sony is by far the biggest seller of sensors and has by far the biggest research budget for sensor development, but even they clearly were not really ready for any global sensor that really meets the highest standards of image quality. Restricted to ISO 200, and showing some hits in terms of dynamic range, Sony felt that it was good enough. Canon clearly does not think that is good enough. And by the way, camera companies for years have made it clear that lenses is what makes the profit. Cameras are often sold with little profit margin.
Doesn’t canon already alowed 3rd party lens developers ? I dont think they are behind in sensor tech , their non bsi sensor is almost as good as their bsi competitors , as for R1 yeah i cant say that it is a flagship , its more r3mk2 , i dont care about global sensor , but at 24mpx its just to low , 30mpx + should be the sweet spot. The question is how about pic quality and dynamic range ?
As far as I am aware they shutdown most third party lens producers with cease and desist orders for the RF mount early last year and only licensed two now third party lenses from Tamron and Sigma;but both are high end and within a stones throw of the equivalent Canon lenses. So, going third party to save money is a hard no on that.
Rambling on and on about Canon doing everything wrong, from the perspective of someone not able to afford the high-end stuff and giving the manufacturer shit for not cheaping out. I am so fed up with this whinery.
As far as I'm concerned, Canon RF glass is the way to go. If you can't afford it don't buy it. Go to a system where you can buy third-party glass. I have been a long-time Canon shooter. I think their glass is very good and gets the job done. From a business standpoint, Canon wants to keep their lenses for themselves. I wouldn't open the RF system and lose out on that money. The Canon R1 will be a phenomenal sports camera. I can't wait to get mine once it arrives. Once again, I don't need a camera that can do everything. I need a camera that does one particular thing outstandingly well. And I believe the Canon R1 will be that camera. I shoot sports, and I believe that it will be the perfect camera for that purpose. I don't care about shooting videos with it. I have no interest in that.
Canon by making the C300 mark 3 and the C70 made somthing real amazing... but they are not ready to make a full frame highter MP DGO sensor YET... but when they do... damn.. They actually do have made more than one cameras that had global shutter sensor. even cinema cameras )the C700 had a upgrade to get a global sensor Nikon earn their real money on lenses for medical use.. Sony earn their money on selling sensors to others and Canon earn their real money on selling printers for big big companys :)
The 1DX MK2 could also shoot with the "mirror up". The global shutter weakness is clearly against the core audience demands of the 1 series, low light performance. And Sonys cameras proves this you pay for speed with image quality. And would a Global shutter be a game changer vs 40fps when we were already in the extremes with these framerates? The R1 is obviously aimed at the most demanding Photographers with that EVF and a Sensor developed for that insane AF And the EF lenses is a trojan horse, they will slowly but surely fall in price and give RF users access to some insane lenses for a very low price. And thanks for the update from the Canon marketing team :)
I would've switched to Canon YEARS ago but 2 things are keeping me at bay: limited selection of lenses for RF, and a global shutter. My main reasoning for wanting a global shutter is for being able to use OCF at high shutter speeds. That piece of tech alone is INSANE!
What lens do you need isn’t available for RF. Most people seem to say the RF glass is a selling point, not a detriment (besides the price). e.g. RF28-70 f2.
As shown in this Canon video with a whopping 800 views, Canon makes a sensor with a global shutter. Based on this, I agree with your point that Canon just doesn’t have one ready for the RF line. But I think it’s coming at some point. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-08RPNBsq7fw.htmlsi=WmX8bEtOdBRtjXC1
They clearly in a panic to make the Olympics shifted the r3 mark 2 over to being called R1 becuase the R1 I saw leaked info on was DEF a diff spec camera.
The R3 should've been the R1, but Canon got scared by the release of the Sony A1. So the (now released) R1 should've been the R1 mk II. Still behind the Sony A1. And the A9III.
I'm not bothered by the lack of a global shutter in the R3ii. The performance just isn't there yet for that technology. But . . . it's not the 1980's anymore. You can't call a 24MP camera a flagship anymore. Niche camera? Sure. Great camera? No doubt. But it's not a flagship. Canon doesn't compete with the other makers' flagship cameras. And as a photographer, you can't compete head-to-head with 50MP images using 24MP images, no matter how skilled you are. You've got to be over 40MP at the flagship level in 2024. Less than that and you're competing with the mid-range 24MP cameras. Heck, Sony's entry at that mid level is 33MP -- somewhat better resolution than the R1 . . . er . . . R3ii.
I stopped buying EOS 1 series camera bodies years ago - after being a buyer for many years. Canon, they are not worth the price, when you look at the mirrorless competition. Canon lags with sensor tech, lens selection and innovation. With Canon you pay more for less. At present both Sony and Nikon offer better choices than Canon - often for less money. I moved on from Canon and it was a great decision.
@@janvanholten7592 Many Pros have transferred across to Sony and other brands. The continued declining market share of Canon, supports my comment, not yours!
Canon is behind others. Playing a catch up came with incomplete products. Anyone I meet on the field today have a sony for it's excellent pricing (they still keep their Canon DSLR for memories) feature availability accross bodies and great number of lenses. Sony has a first mover advantage. I completely agree with your point that Sony makes more sensors thus knows much better Nikon is also miles ahead (using Sony sensors) and has the best lens range. And they are playing a price game. Another reason of many people moving out of Canon is the obnoxiously priced RF glass. And R5 will not get any updates for sure as r5ii is out. So just a few years Canon will be a second rung player. Marketing will not take them ahead tor long. Just like a bad product like R sold only for marketing. There are some like us who stick to Canon for the already huge investment in EF glasses.
Canon is limiting their cameras especially with the one's with high bust by sticking with SD cards slots!!! SD is dead!!! Why not switch to CFexpress Card Type B?!!!!
