Canon EOS R1 Field Report from Antarctica: A Wildlife Photographer’s Perspective
- Thread starter Richard CR
- Start date
Neuro gave a counter example of a painting called The Garden of Earthly Delights. The painting is large but is composed of small groups of people engaged in "delightful" behavior. You have to get pretty close to see what each group is are doing. Viewing distance is important but it is far from the only factor. I've shot a lot of race cars. What passes for fine detail are the bug spots on the front. Mostly it's just smooth surfaces, engine and suspension details being the exception.

The focus is low light. The R1 out performs on a lot of things, but low light is the questionable one in video mode.

I’m not sure that’s necessarily a counter example. The purpose of such an image is specifically to create this type of depth. Images within images. I would even go so far as to say it proves the opposite. If you cannot discern what the individual ‘pixels’ (in this case groups of people) are doing when looking at the image as a whole, then surely that shows exactly the relevance of viewing distances.

Was it an obituary?You can find some reviews like this online, but you'll have to wait a a bit. For example this one for the 5D Mk IV took 5+ years:

"I have been a full-time professional Nature and wildlife photographer for almost thirty years..."
But internet trolls are the best source of information about a camera.
And anyone who says anything nice about a Canon camera must have been paid to do so.

FYI - these are the gloves that work with the AF button on the R1. https://www.66north.com/us/vik-wind...men-accessories&color=900&prev=impressionView I probably have over a dozen pairs of other touch gloves that work ok with my iPhone, but don't work with the Canon AF button. There is something about the fabric in these VIK gloves that does work. I am yet to find this in any other glove.That's exactly what I've ordered! Good luck with ordering!

I love this writing. “Many photographers never reach this point as they upgrade their cameras too often and never learn to master the tools they already own. Learning to work the camera’s controls with muscle memory is a critical skill that will improve your photography without bounds. One of the keys to mastering your camera’s controls and developing muscle memory of your camera’s controls is how you interact with your camera’s ergonomics.” I actually love my 1DX Mark III so much after spending months developing my connectedness to the dozens of customizations of the controls, I am resisting the migration to an R1. I do have an R6 Mark II but it doesn’t have the same treasured touch. The upside is the R1 has the same battery, the same CF Express and a much bigger eyepiece as the 1DXM3. But I still love the DSLR experience.

The photos are great, also clearly makes the case for higher resolution. I don't understand why you have a strong opinion about this.
I use a R6 II and am really happy with the camera. And I feel the need for higher resolution every time I have to crop an image.

The most peculiar is why some people are so concerned with what other people think, do, buy or need. There are so many cameras on the market, just buy what you need - or more likely just want in most people’s cases - and then move on with your life.

I was able to find them on the US website. They are a glove liner and near the bottom of the glove section. They have a silver touch sensitive area on the fingertip. I think they are called the Vik. Great little town by the way.

That’s an asinine statement. I could just as easily say the people who strongly believe 24MP isn’t enough tend to be people who can’t afford the R1. Ironically, the argument from people who couldn’t afford the 1DsIII when it wore the highest MP crown of 21 MP was that ‘no one needs that many MP’.
Alternatively, maybe the people who strongly believe 24MP isn’t enough tend to be people who need to crop deeply because they don’t know how to properly compose an image, or need to crop deeply because they can’t afford ‘great white’ lenses.
Perhaps you are one of those people who strongly believes the MP count is the most (or only) relevant aspect of camera performance? You probably buy cars based on the top speed spec or engine displacement spec, right? Because more is always better.
Speaking personally, as I’ve said several times, if having the most MP is important to you then you would be using a PhaseOne or at least a Fuji GFX. I certainly would, if MP were what mattered most to me. The latter even has a 500mm lens option now (the lack of long lenses would be an impediment for me).
I’d it really so hard to understand that people know what they need, and don’t need you to tell them?

Not impressed.
This reads as such a puff piece. The part at which all credibility though was lost in this article for me.
The question is how? It’s not the fastest shutter, not a global sensor, not the highest MP, doesn’t have the best IBIS…. While rugged not really a factor.
While a good camera the statement is just not accurate and comes over as disingenuous.
