I'll just say this. I shoot sports. I don't care about any video specs that the R-1 may or may not have. And I'm okay with the 30 megapixels that the camera will have and the faster shutter speed. People have to remember this is a camera built for sports. 50 megapixel sensor sounds great, but the file size on my computer would be just crazy. I would have to probably buy much larger memory cards, which would cost a small fortune. When I'm shooting baseball with the R-3, I go for the 30 frames per second every time. Have you ever tried to cull through 3 or 4,000 shots per game it's a lot of work. So imagine if you're shooting 120 frames per second. And that's with me using Photo Mechanic. I work with my R-3, and I've had no problems. If you want a camera to be 50 megapixels, fine buy a different camera and quit hating on the R-1, and so what it took a long time for it to get here, big deal.
@@richardcleaver272exactly and canon rumors did classify this as not true. I mean we can’t be for sure, but a few reliable sources discredited this rumor. The ordinary filmmaker has a pretty good channel covering rumors and leaks. He took his video about that article down. I think this might have been a mistake by someone at adorama. (or intentional misleading)
I personally use Lightroom and Photoshop and the results can be okay if you use it tastefully. Ive played with other software and never found one I truly love. I've heard good things about new version of Luminar but haven't tried it myself yet.
Specs are underwhelming. Certainly not worth the 3 year wait and the big deal they touted it to be. No mention of any security functions. Just so its clear, all cameras can overheat under the right circumstances. Just like you can overheat your car by putting to much load on it, or any machine that's not cooled properly. Like a nuclear reactor.
I agree with you on the AI topic, but the examples you gave for "real ai" are also just a bunch of technological advances. Giving a camera a face and an order to track just that is like saying those are the parameters, track just those. There is no learning in that. A dumb Ai example would be, if your auto focus got progressively better with usage - oh, look, he deleted that photo, because I didn't get the focus right. The next time I'll do better!
I really don't know if this is their flagship camera. I mean it seems that the 1 series is more dedicated to sports photography. The r5 or r3 is the wedding/ portrait camera..
The bottom line: As nice as the R1 will be, no one yet even after 2 & 1/2 years no one can match the combo high mpx and speed and DR of the A1 sensor, it being 50 mpx, stacked AND Back-side illuminated... Can't wait to see what Sony adds to the A1II next Spring... just worry how much MORE it's gonna costs ..
Sony definitely makes it interesting on other manufacturers to keep up. Other than some color differences, I enjoy working with those files from my second shooters who use Sony.
The r5 only does 20 fps in electronic shutter. Nothing was said about bit depth. I would hope for 30 fps, full bit depth raw with no rolling shutter in Electronic mode, at the least. I don’t see why we can’t get 40-50 fps. Or at least in a temporary burst mode. This didn’t tell us much at all, imo.
I had no idea. I personally don't own one and from the videos I watched about it no one mentioned this. This could be extremely useful if it works well.
You must not shoot high-speed sports on a regular basis. 50 megapixels will require much larger memory cards, especially if you decide to shoot at 120 frames per second. You'll be culling through photos for hours.
@@r2hildur guess what other cameras are already being used by those very same pro's you mentioned, in fact, both Sony and Nikon flagship models have eaten a huge piece of the pie. Sales numbers are objective (and by sales numbers I don't mean all the cheap entry rebels that canon still sells, but rather the pro mirrorless bodies aimed at sports, journalism, fashion and landscape photography.
