Canon EOS R1 Field Report from Antarctica: A Wildlife Photographer’s Perspective
- Thread starter Richard CR
- Start date
I tried to find the "66º North touch liner gloves" so that I could buy a pair, but had no luck. I guess they're made in Iceland? If anyone knows where they may be found for purchase by someone in the US, then please let me know.

Those Q3 users should just use a lens longer than 28mm. Oh wait, LOL."it has been my experience that if I need to crop that heavily, then it probably was not a very good photograph, to begin with, and I should probably move on to a different image."
LOL, tell that to the Leica Q3 owners

“And the reader, with his typing-finger as cold as snow,
stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? The praise came without influence. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the reader thought of something he hadn't before. What if the reports, he thought, don’t come from Canon resorts. What if Canons R1´s performance, perhaps, is just a little bit more.”
Nowadays, it is kind of funny to read that every photographer who actually praises a camera is accused of company marketing talk. Seems like a report is only valid when one criticizes. But maybe, just maybe, some people have a hard time accepting that some statements are not just marketing talk but instead facts! I mean, we’re talking about a state of the art camera, of course, there will be some rightful claims about the camera being superior and more and more R1 users seem to prove it. But if the grinch can start believing in Christmas, maybe some critics can start believing in cameras that are actually up to the task and their claims.

I have never felt limited by 24MP. While I\'m (at best) an enthusiast-level photographer, I do enjoy sharing my images, including in print. I noticed years ago that the megapixels were just one factor, and not even a determining factor at that, once you got above a certain viewing distance. Even 3MP can look great in an 8x10 print if the rest of the image holds up.

There's a small hill of snow between photographer and the penguins. I think it looks cool.
Edit: "Cool" pun was not intended ;-) - "Aesthetical" and "beautiful" could be said too

I'd say that a Q3 and an R1 will be used for a different type of photography. Even the regular M Leicas are rarely used for sports, and never for the usual wildlife motives. Also, the R1 may not be the ideal street photography camera..."it has been my experience that if I need to crop that heavily, then it probably was not a very good photograph, to begin with, and I should probably move on to a different image."

Depends on the street. Sometimes, gear robust enough to serve as a club can be useful.

Just able to get back to this thread a bit more and I wanted to say I completely agree. Great to see images, video, and get firsthand experiences under extreme conditions. Thanks for putting in the time and effort to share with all of us.What shall I say?
Fantastic pictures and video, great review by a highly talented user...

Maybe irrelevant, but I believe it is an Icelandic company. That also fits well with the company-name.

I guess the friendly Icelanders will wonder why they suddenly get so many orders for the same product from different countries...website:
They'll soon put them on a backorder list.

OMG, are a YouTube influencer?
Well there's the mixed media cards, smaller EVF, slower AF, slower top speed, lack of pre-capture etc.
I sold 1x R3 to buy 1x R1 and it's a better camera than the R3.
Now how you judge "better" is entirely subjective, but I wouldn't trade the second R3.
I'd rather buy white glass like the Rf 100-300 F2.8 or RF 400 F2.8.
The R3 is still a great camera. One of Canon's best in recent memory.

I guess you are YouTuber "influenced" into believing that the R1 is not the "flagship" because it is only 24MP?
OK, call your shiny R5 II the flagship.
Does it compete with the Sony A1 II and the Nikon Z9?
Great. Move along then. Nothing to say here.

Bonjour, avez vous aussi vu que les fichiers du R3 sont sensiblement moins net que ceux du R1. Le bruit pour les photos faites avec le bouchon, est "machéé sur le R3 alors qu'il est bien net sur le R1. Je pense que sur le R3 il y a un lissage au niveau du raw et pas sur le R1 ou très peu visible...?
