Canon has turned into a click-bait company. The R1 is a classic example. Our Agency is done with the company.
After 8 years, you started posting on the forum again... Canon has only said that the R3 isn't the flagship. Nothing official about the R1 so everything is rumours... except that you seem to have inside information (see my highlight below)!
So spill the beans as the NDAs wouldn't apply if your agency won't use it - right!?!
Your recent posts....
- I just came out of a meeting for agencies covering the Olympics and
none of us have had enough time to put the R1 debugged through any formal worlflow and the networking issues were not even covered yet. Be back here after the Olympics to let you how the early adopters did
- Always wished Canon would put some secret sauce in there.... But it never happened
- Nikon's Z9 seems to be the clear winner for resolution, if this report is true.
If PJ and Sports are the target market 30MP will do.
For the BIF shooters, that have tried the Z9, the enhanced resolution and room for crops has been well received.
Something in me, tells me that the final R1 will have better specs. If these specs are true, then the R3 was the intended R1 and Nikon ruined Canon's party
- We made our choices for 2024, unfortunately Canon was not budgeted aside from CPS. First time in 27 years.
- Makes you wonder if the R3 really was the R1. Canon puts out as little as they can. No matter, for the first time in 27 years our budget in 2024 makes no expenditures to Canon, aside from CPS.
- Thr R1's delay was caused by competition and Canon not wanting to put an obsolete into the market. I fear however, that Canon will again, put a less than spectacular R1 on the market.
The R1 was supposed to be Canon's giant killer. A flagship to end all flagships... The Mother of All Cameras.
Adapt in the Studio, Sports Arena, PJ's, Weddings, Portrature, Fashion Runway, BIF and on and on.
The R1 will not be all these things. The R1 will be a drip... drip... drip... with the R1 II announced and rumored as another drip... drip... drip... anounced to make up for the camera's shortcomings compared to SONY, Nikon and others technology.
Unless there is substantial innovation, I don't see the need for an R1 anymore
- R1 / R3 II ? Nikon Z9 Z8 and Sony as a whole have both done an amazing job. Canon faces real headwinds. Will the the R3II be as good as the Z9 before the Z9II is out? Will the R1 be as good on the fashion runway as in the studio or on the Olympic fields? Canon has a lot to prove, I just don't have faith after shooting the GFX 50's and 100's, Nikon Z9 and the SONY A9 etc.... Our agency hopes the R1 will keep us with Canon, time will tell.
- Canon will not give you QPAF in the R1. Drip... Drip... Drip.... So far.... the camera sounds boring
- Canon is about to surprise everyone who has not been included as a CE or advisor.. To those who say they are happy with 24MP... The R1 can still be for you.... Just dial it down. When you want greater resolution it wiil be there. We have been early adopters of every Canon 1DX, 1DXMKII...
