LOL people are sooooo brainwashed. 24mp are enough for whatever. I'm shooting weddings and sports with the R3 I'm not missing a beat with anything. Family portraits, Senior portraits and studio portraits. I've been nothing but pleased. Maybe it's because I don't really do a lot of cropping? I don't know but mp don't say oh this is a landscape camera or a portrait camera. Give me 24-30mp I'm happier with the file size.
@@shelbyt4509 I had the R5 before the R3 and I know what you mean I used to crop my butt off. Now I still crop my butt off sometimes and I'm surprised by how the files hold up when I do. I do get my composition closer to right now though one thing the R3 has taught me to do just in case lol. I do not miss the R5 though.
The smart controller is the best thing on any camera ever made. I have the R3 and you can select af so easily and quick. Pre ordered the R1 and can’t wait to use it.
Nevermind that the 12MP 1Ds was considered awesome for landscape, studio, wildlife while most had to settle for 6-8MP bodies... or that we previously relied on film for everything. The R1 will serve just fine for anything as long as you don't need something small and inconspicuous and as long as you don't rely on heavy cropping.
@whatcouldgowrong7914 "the norm"? Yet people are still on quite small monitors and wouldn't be able to tell the difference. And guess what they have going on their largest screens? Upscaled HD imagery. Blaming your shortcomings on the equipment is only a good idea if your goal is spending more money. The idea that you need 24MP+ because you have a 4K monitor or 33+ MP for 8K monitors is hilarious. A 65" screen is roughly 1440mm wide. Given infinite monitor resolution, an HD image pixel would be 1.3mm wide. A picture from a D3 would have a pixel width of about 0.3mm. From the R1 roughly half that. If the people looking at your images then note pixelation, your image would have to be quite unappealing and the real question would be; why did you bother showing it
@ Your comment is hilarious when you talk about so called shortcomings when you could learn how to take action photos better instead of just spray and pray by relying on 40fps 🤣
@whatcouldgowrong7914 that made no sense at all. If one can't imagine shooting action with less than 20fps, maybe one needs to reconsider. Higher framerates make it easier, just as high resolution does, but it's not a must for the camera to be usable. After all, they used to get by with cameras like the Nikon F.
Flagship cameras have always been specialised for sports and action. That in body noise reduction helps speed up the workflow to get images out to the public as quickly as possible at live events like the Olympics.
@ both have higher resolution than an R1 but neither would be a do all camera. The Z9 has known banding issues with LED lighting in low light while the A1 has focusing issues in low light. In these scenarios for an event photographer you would want to use a Z6iii or A7IV instead.

@@iggytse every rolling shutter based camera will have banding issues with LED lighting...only the Sony A9III has no issues, and that's cos of the global shutter. The R1 will still have some banding issues with LED lighting too, but it will be greatly diminished over other models with slower rolling shutter readout speeds. As an aside, my R3 struggles in low light with AF, as does pretty much every other camera on the market. The truth is, the A1 is bloody 4 years old and the Z9 3 years old. If the R1 struggles to match these now ancient cameras, then Canon is in real deep shit.
@ I never said the R1 was a match for the Z9 and A1. I’m responding to the remark in the video that the R1 is too specialised for sports. As far as the banding issues, maybe that is a terminology describing something else. The flicking from the LED is happening from the electronic shutter that could easily be rectified using a mechanical shutter from what I was told by a Z9 user. Where a Z9 and Z8 shows great value for money is video and being about to record uncompressed raw video internally. Still the only company outside of RED to be legally allowed to do it.
@snibbelgaurd The first band is through and for me it's quite a difference. The R1 works smoothly and quickly. Focus is quick and precise. I couldn't detect any banding at first glance. Image noise feels the same as with the R3. So far I'm really impressed.
I really wish the 4M dot LCD screens were a universal standard, almost all of my Macro shots are composed on the LCD and if your LCD is sharp enough you don't need to zoom in to confirm focus.
I’m with you on this review as a sports photographer, and there do appear to be some firmware issues: 1) CFExpress slots periodically register a card being unseated despite no jogging or jarring motion. 2) Battery power issue, now this has only occurred once for me but the system completely froze and could only be fixed by removing the battery - powering off the camera was not recognized. 3) Eye-control has been unusable on the R1.
I think in this day and age, they need a R1S and R1R where they prioritise speed or resolution. I would have loved a rugged, weather sealed beast for wildlife and landscapes like my old 1DX but 24MP simply isn’t enough these days…
@@JPdeRuiter Because it is a flagship camera, it is supposed to put everything else to shame… with 0 compromises. No one needs 40FPS… that is just utterly ridiculous. Being able to crop images, reframe, forgo carrying some longer lenses is indispensable if you need to punch in further. You say it is enough but look at the same image with 24v60MP on something like a 4K-5K monitor and the detail difference is insane with good optics. My 1Dx is over a decade old now and it’s 18MP. They need a high resolution offering with all the rugged features.
"...simply isn’t enough these days..." How are "these days" any different than the days ten years ago? Unless you're making huge prints, something fewer and fewer people are doing, it's unnecessary. And with today's extraordinary post-production tools, like Adobe AI Enhance (which is near indistinguishable from in-camera pixel shift), you're more or less covered for resolution bumps. Or you could just get a Nikon Z9, which does it all.
@ You literally just said it… Nikon does it all… So why is this a flagship R1… AI is not a replacement for optical resolution, it is fake. “These days”, like I said the original 1Dx was 18MP over a decade ago back in the days of FullHD monitors, now where up to 6K monitors, 8K video etc which is easily capable of reproducing an image where you can see significant differences in detail between camera sensors. Pixel shift doesn’t even exist on Canon, it’s yet another fake AI upscaling in JPG only.
1:35 the R1 is not Canon's most expensive body. The 1DX M3 is still sold by Canon for $6499, compared to the R1 $6299. If you factor in the 16.5% inflation since the R3 came out in 2021, those of us that preordered a R3 paid $6988 for them in today's dollars.
As for "limited" there was once a camera called the Hasselblad 500C. Whatever you needed for your field of use was in their catalogue and user installed. Today this approach is anathema to camera makers who much prefer one size fits all, the way size 14 shoes fit size 5 feet.
The R5mkii is now a better sports camera and has better AF than the R3. Precapture is a game changer and I have allready taken many images on my R5mkii that could not be taken without that function. The R3 does not have precapture, the R1 does.
@@nordic5490precapture I guess. The rest I wouldn't bother with. Having used both cameras the R3 still had better auto focus unless you used priority modes.
No mention of HDR video in this review. That’s the hidden gem of the R3, HDR video excels even when shot with the standard camera color profile. I can only imagine it will look even better on the R1, mine arrives in a few days
@@olivertrees Try watching a wildlife video shot or edited in HDR with the R3 versus standard Rec. 709. The HDR version looks so much better! More realistic and the colors are superior
7:25 is the hot shoe cover really that big of a deal or is it just a running “joke” at this point? I bought one for my R6II and have had zero issues removing it.
@@joseperalta6235as an amateur, the original 6d had the sweetspot, with a budget prime i have got some tack sharp crisp photos without much effort and can be printed at huge sizes.
Well, the rumoured ‘specs’ have been pretty meaningless and so sparse as to be totally unhelpful. I suspect though, that Sony might just hand around a few A1ii’s on Thursday, but anybody who grabs one probably won’t have anything like enough time to properly evaluate it. Or tell us anything like enough about it.
The RF 100-300mm f2.8 L images looks outstanding! I can’t make up my mine on which to buy first. The R1 or the RF 100-300mm f/2.8 and just pair it with my R5.
I am a wildlife photographer and I shoot Canon because I like the autofocus. I shoot the R3 and think the R5II is OK, not great. I had a Z9 but sold it and keep shooting Canon. The AF just works.
@@SMGJohn I dont care for the Sony RAW files or the their color science. My favorite is Nikon but they lack the AF capability that both Canon and Sony possesses. Canon fits my needs perfectly in a world of compromise. 🤗
Same here, I’m a wildlife photographer and the R3 is my camera. Great AF, fast, excellent image quality and built like a tank. Sold my R5 and haven’t looked back.
A bit skeptical about it baking in post processing into the raw. Nowadays with authenticity requirements for journalistic photographs, I wonder if what sounds like baked into raw editing without the choice to disable it sounds like a potential issue for some users of the demographic they aim at. I know people that said that they cannot use any edit that sharpens or denoises. They said they can do a bit of exposure and a bit of contrast in the post processing. They do nothing else. If it automatically adds some edits that are not contrast or exposure, then that might be an issue since the files probably also have baked into the metadata the editing that is baked in, which could disqualify the photo from the get go
Everyone gets hung up on the mp. I had the r5 and the r6ii. I tested them side by side, shooting the exact same subjects / settings, with the same lens. Pixel peepling on a PC, the ability to crop further on the r5 was almost negligible. The better low light performance was very noticeable. I currently have the r5ii and r6ii. The r6ii is still way better in low light than the r5ii, but the r5ii has way better autofocus, pre shooting, eye tracking etc... all that I love. For shooting a mix of events, sports (day and night) portraits, and very limited products (nothing high end). 24 MP is completely fine when the shot is taken correctly in camera. Can't wait for the r6iii. If anyone wants to buy my r5ii I'm happy to sell it to get the r1, and run the 6ii as a backup.
Yes you can get by with it but the cropping factor of high MP is equally as important and in extreme cases can reduce the number of lenses you need to carry, cropping ability etc… My R6 I really want more these days for macro and landscapes. I would also love a reliable body like my 1Dx but I could buy 5 x R6 for the price of this camera and just burn through them with extreme activities
@@whatcouldgowrong7914 Have you ever taken side by side pics both cameras? I have. unless you look at the size of the image, the amount you can crop is marginally better. The r6ii, r3, and r1 have sensors that are great and can still be cropped. Just numbers alone, I think most people think 2x MP would give 2X crop, doesn't work that way IRL.
@@heyyou918 Depends on the sensor, the GFX 100 is a massive jump from the R6 or Sonys 60MP FF sensor. Being able to punch in during editing and seeing actual detail and not just pixel blocks is amazing and like I said the cropping ability on 60MP + sensors can remove the need to carry some lenses sometimes if you’re travelling. I just think they need a flagship camera to cater to more than sports. I miss my 1DX body but its over a decade old now and this is barely any resolution increase.
@@whatcouldgowrong7914 LOL - Ok, so your bringing Medium Format into the mix??? Ok, onto Sony, once you start cropping images from the same size sensor, FF 33 vs FF 60, the amount of crop you can do is far less than what most people think. can someone please make a comprehensive video showing this. If you crop a 60MP sony sensor down to 33mp, and compare it to a pic taken with a 33MP FF sony sensor - - - comparing sony to sony, the uncropped 33mp sensor wins ever day. It's not linear, 2x MP does not equal 2x crop - there may be a marginal - 5% to maybe 8% extra room to crop. So great, make your 500 F4 look like 525, compared to shooting the 33mp camera and not cropping at all. You can crop both sensors, I agree to that, and you can crop ever so slightly more with the higher MP, but thanks marketing for making people think it's an amazing amount more.
I suspect you've got some questionable lenses then. It is *extremely* noticeable if you have sharp enough lenses. The difference between my a7R photos and R6 is night and day (yes I jumped ship to Sony).
At the 7:11 mark, the R3 appears to be missing the viewfinder hood, indicating a possible oversight (Goof!). Additionally, the R1 seems to be what the R3 Mark II could have been. The Canon R5ii, with its 45MP sensor, offers a feature set comparable to the R1 but is approximately $2K less expensive. Utilizing the R5ii battery grip provides an additional battery and enhances the physical handling, similar to the R1/R3.I've used two R3s and am currently using two R5 IIs for sports photography, which offer significantly better cropping quality than the 24.1MP resolution. I won't consider the R1 at this time, perhaps waiting for a much-improved R1 Mark II. It might be a long wait, haha.
The AF subject tracking shown here is subjective because the arena seats are empty with no faces. The R3 and R5m2 both have tendenacies to jump back and forth with AF given lots of faces in the frame, so is R1 even stickier? No mention of comparing high iso images vs R3. The R1 is not a specialized camera, just an incremental upgrade from R3 imo. As an R3 owner, the real upgrade path is a R5m2 and not the R1.
The other thing to note here is regarding sports, a 24mb body with a 100-300 is perfect for hockey or basketball with enough focal length to fill a good portion of the frame. Football, soccer, baseball for example I'll take the R5m2 all day long with a super tele. People mention the R1 MP as a negative, the reality is it depends on the sport and focal length needed. I think reviewers miss this concept.
As a guy who will never be more than an avid hobbyist - though always trying to learn more and improve my technique - there's no way in the world that I should have an R1. However, as a guy with no bills and with retirement on the horizon, I WANT an R1! I believe it's time to start saving up for one. PS: Great review, and as a lifelong hockey fan, I loved your images!
Well, I hope you treat yourself and enjoy the results. I have a 1dx-mk3 and had it with me on a canon workshop during the summer. They gave me an R3 with the rf400mm f2.8 lens to shoot birds in flight. And holy god, the speed was insane with that combo. So I can only imagine what the R1 would be like. Cant quite afford to splash out on that upgrade quite yet myself.
Jeff Cable slot with the R1 during the olympics and started his autofocus hit rate was over 95%. That's insane. Check out his Behind The Shot interview. I'll take his word as a top shooter over any reviewer.
Do I WANT the R1?! Yes. Do I NEED the R1?! No…My 1DXMKiii has been CRUSHING it since 2020 and the R1 just isn’t ENOUGH to get me to make that move up…😅
Have you checked when the base ISO reset occurs in C-Log2? When I tested the camera at the Canon event, it was still on early firmware (below version 1), and with the cap on, it was clearly visible that this sensor, like the C80 and C400, also has three noise reset levels at ISO 800, 1600, and 12,800. Have you checked what the final values are?
thank you for the review. I would have liked a more direct comparison with the R5II in sports. While they share the same AF the R1 is supposed to be better. I would have liked to hear more about that. I picked the R5II over the A1 because of the resolution, price and portability I would be interested to know if the AF was worth to move to the R1
4:55 “I honestly kind of wonder why they even decided to put a mechanical shutter in here…” I wonder if LED banding had something to do with it? It may be that many venues have “photo safe” LEDs now, but probably at least as many do not…
I shoot with a Z9 along side other photographers shooting with Sony and Canon and the banding is in everyone’s shots. It’s about how well the high frequency reduction is. I’ve got it almost non-existent on my Nikon with their implementation. I’m not sure if the other guys I shoot with have set theirs up appropriately. Nonetheless, I don’t think mechanical vs electronic makes a difference for LED frequency banding.
It's kind of wild to think that this is the equivalent of Leica's SL3 in Canon's system, considering how utterly different the feature set is (not a knock against either, I would much rather every camera in the market be different than the same). Kind of crazy this doesn't seem to have an IP rating by comparison though, even if it has a million more techy features.
It feels weird that a such camera is only specified to work at 0° to 40 °C where as the OM1-2 and the X-H2s which cost a fraction of the R1, are specified to work until -10°C. For outdoor thosestwo look better.
I'm pretty surprised they didn't invest in getting an IP rating for this camera. Leica did it for the SL3 and that camera isn't nearly as appropriate for outdoor use as this is.
@@zegzbrutal it's called an IP rating. OM systems gears are rated to take wild conditions such as rain, dust, sand etc. They stand by their products. Canon says it is, but won't stand by their words or products.
For the most, it depends what camp your already in. anything better for vid & you might as well go to pro dedicated video camera. Perfect for a journalist no matter the genre.
This camera is for everything, even 12Mp is enough for a large format print of landscape...and it's better than every camera: fastest rolling shutter (except A9lll), lowest noise and colours shift on high iso, best dynamic range, best autofocus in the world...
@@mrrexy4151 LOL no… Medium format smokes this thing for DR, detail and colour depth. It is an R6 sensor in a professional body with more AI noise reduction BS
@whatcouldgowrong7914 medium format is 16 bit raw, but even that you can't see 🙈 a difference on large print, there is a blind test video of comparing Sony A7S3 vs Fuji 102Mp... guess who wins 🤣
So, will be in the future be Canon EOS R1s which is basically higher resolution but slower version of EOS R1? Also: people will say that high megapixel means more room for cropping And also: built-in denoise?
I would have liked the R5ii sensor in this instead. And they could have had two pro bodies. One with high megapixels but a little slower and this one. Or just market it as an R3ii and work for a global sensor.
@ Is it really necessary to always use a lens hood? Absolutely! Developing good photography habits not only improves your shots but also sets a great example if you're aiming to influence others. The lens hood is more than just an accessory-it’s a safeguard. Its primary function is to block unwanted light, reducing lens flare and improving image quality. But that’s not all. It also provides critical protection against environmental factors like dust and water droplets, especially in windy or rainy conditions. Most importantly, a lens hood acts as a physical shield. If your camera takes a hit-whether from a drop, an accidental bump, or even a flying soccer ball-the hood often absorbs the impact. Without it, the damage could extend to the lens itself, and trust me, that kind of repair or replacement isn’t cheap. I’m not just theorizing here; this advice comes from experience. So if your lens comes with a hood, make it a habit to use it every time. It’s a small step that can save you a lot of trouble down the line.
few reviewers are touching this subject. It is very clear that this has been a "no go" zone pushed by Canon, onto reviewers. Canon doesn't want reviewers say the R3 IQ is just as good as the R1 and R1 sales being hit.
I've been wondering for some time why camera MFG dont offer thsome of there cameras with different sensor size option....maybe you want the R1 and all its features but you really want 50mp instead of 24mp.....I cant I know they have a other cameras with 50mp, but its not the R1
You compared the readout specs of the z9 vs the R1 stating that the R1 is faster which it is, but that is because its at 24MP whereas the z9/z8 has 45MP which will obviously need power to keep up with larger file sizes. If the z9 would be 24MP, I'm sure it would be able to keep up with the speeds of the R1.
How is the overheating on this camera like how long can it record the over sampled 4K 30 or 4K 60 or even the raw light 6K. I’d love to know if it’s a decent potential interview camera which I’m not gonna record it over 30 frames per second? Cause I know with my R5 Mark two with the cooling grip I can get over two hours of 8KP 30 continuously and I was kind of eyeing the C4 hundred and the C 80 but I do a lot of photography as well so would like something that can do both really well And when I buy another Camera, I like to get different capabilities versus just buying two of the same thing. Yeah I could just buy a second r5 markii
It seems like the perfect camera for sports photography, but as a wildlife photographer I'm disappointed. I think every wildlife photographer with the means to do so would spend good money on a body with these specs, but with 45MP. I really hope Canon will take that next step. As a bird- and other wildlifephotographer who photographs a lot of high speed action, I find that the megapixels of the R5 make a lot of difference in pictures, but I don't necessarily need more than 20 frames per second. Seems like it could be done if Canon wanted to.
yeah I was thinking that but the batteries in this are very high power. Can’t see that being an issue really. A lot of people would likely shoot with the lcd off most of the time. Would be nice to have the r3 res lcd for when you need it on the move to review images. Makes no sense to me.
@@theonlyredspecial Perhaps pro shooters don’t really use them? Not saying im a pro because im not but my rear screen on the R6 is actually folded away constantly, I only use the EVF to review photos due to the dark viewing
Yeah maybe. I do earn money myself and don’t often use the lcd to be honest unless I’m using the x2d medium format but it would still be nice if they kept the r3 spec. I’ve used the z9 and as far as I remember the lcd is the same res as the r1. But I fail to comprehend the logic why canon did this from r3 to r1. Maybe it isn’t a big deal !
The R1 eye control is the first one that works for me as a glasses wearer. R3 never worked, R5 Markii maybe half the time.
Looks like the evf size does matter for accuracy. The R5 II is a hit or miss for most.

@ I never said the R1 was a match for the Z9 and A1. I’m responding to the remark in the video that the R1 is too specialised for sports. As
far as the banding issues, maybe that is a terminology describing something else. The flicking from the LED is happening from the electronic shutter that could easily be rectified using a mechanical shutter from what I was told by a Z9 user. Where a Z9 and Z8 shows great value for money is video and being about to record uncompressed raw video internally. Still the only company outside of RED to be legally allowed to do it.
I'm taking my R1 to photograph concerts today. I'm looking forward to it and I'm curious to see how it compares to my R3.
I'm really interested in how concert photographers will like this camera. Although the R6 will be the more reasonable for now in my case.
@snibbelgaurd The first band is through and for me it's quite a difference. The R1 works smoothly and quickly. Focus is quick and precise. I couldn't detect any banding at first glance. Image noise feels the same as with the R3. So far I'm really impressed.
called me poor in multiple ways
I really wish the 4M dot LCD screens were a universal standard, almost all of my Macro shots are composed on the LCD and if your LCD is sharp enough you don't need to zoom in to confirm focus.
I’m with you on this review as a sports photographer, and there do appear to be some firmware issues:
1) CFExpress slots periodically register a card being unseated despite no jogging or jarring motion.
2) Battery power issue, now this has only occurred once for me but the system completely froze and could only be fixed by removing the battery - powering off the camera was not recognized.
3) Eye-control has been unusable on the R1.
Jordan's stach is lookin good! Those beauty shots 😍
I think in this day and age, they need a R1S and R1R where they prioritise speed or resolution. I would have loved a rugged, weather sealed beast for wildlife and landscapes like my old 1DX but 24MP simply isn’t enough these days…
Why is 24MP not enough? What is it that you would want that requires more?
@@JPdeRuiter Because it is a flagship camera, it is supposed to put everything else to shame… with 0 compromises. No one needs 40FPS… that is just utterly ridiculous. Being able to crop images, reframe, forgo carrying some longer lenses is indispensable if you need to punch in further. You say it is enough but look at the same image with 24v60MP on something like a 4K-5K monitor and the detail difference is insane with good optics. My 1Dx is over a decade old now and it’s 18MP. They need a high resolution offering with all the rugged features.
"...simply isn’t enough these days..."
How are "these days" any different than the days ten years ago? Unless you're making huge prints, something fewer and fewer people are doing, it's unnecessary. And with today's extraordinary post-production tools, like Adobe AI Enhance (which is near indistinguishable from in-camera pixel shift), you're more or less covered for resolution bumps.
Or you could just get a Nikon Z9, which does it all.
@ You literally just said it… Nikon does it all… So why is this a flagship R1… AI is not a replacement for optical resolution, it is fake. “These days”, like I said the original 1Dx was 18MP over a decade ago back in the days of FullHD monitors, now where up to 6K monitors, 8K video etc which is easily capable of reproducing an image where you can see significant differences in detail between camera sensors. Pixel shift doesn’t even exist on Canon, it’s yet another fake AI upscaling in JPG only.
@@whatcouldgowrong7914 I guess Nikon is just better than Canon. 🤷♂
you usually state what camera is filming, I noticed @2:37 bridge scene the focus is way background on the Deerfoot Tr traffic
1:35 the R1 is not Canon's most expensive body. The 1DX M3 is still sold by Canon for $6499, compared to the R1 $6299. If you factor in the 16.5% inflation since the R3 came out in 2021, those of us that preordered a R3 paid $6988 for them in today's dollars.

Oof that stock music during the hockey was truly something.
I physically cringed
If they Jordan or Chris sees this, please avoid using music with lyrics
i came to the comment section to make sure I wasnt the only one
As for "limited" there was once a camera called the Hasselblad 500C. Whatever you needed for your field of use was in their catalogue and user installed. Today this approach is anathema to camera makers who much prefer one size fits all, the way size 14 shoes fit size 5 feet.
The R1 looks great, but boy am I excited to get my R3 next week to take over from my R6 ii as my main sports camera…
The R5mkii is now a better sports camera and has better AF than the R3.
Precapture is a game changer and I have allready taken many images on my R5mkii that could not be taken without that function. The R3 does not have precapture, the R1 does.
@@nordic5490precapture I guess. The rest I wouldn't bother with. Having used both cameras the R3 still had better auto focus unless you used priority modes.
You should also turn on TH-cam membership, offering early access to videos and perhaps some exclusives.
Baked in nr on raw??? Uhhh what the flip
very fast but effectiv review 👍
Love the Letterkenny/Shoresy nod
No mention of HDR video in this review. That’s the hidden gem of the R3, HDR video excels even when shot with the standard camera color profile. I can only imagine it will look even better on the R1, mine arrives in a few days
Log IS HDR, did you mean HLG?
you can get HDR/HLG in almost any modern camera
@ but it looks especially good on the R3
@@hawaiifreespeechnews what makes it special?
@@olivertrees Try watching a wildlife video shot or edited in HDR with the R3 versus standard Rec. 709. The HDR version looks so much better! More realistic and the colors are superior
Lots of autofocus hunting in this video. Is that the R1 or the Panasonic during these sessions?
Well, received the R1 on Friday. Hot Shoe cover is not coming off. Had to use force. Sanded the overlong pin out and now it works.
7:00 build in ai NR is amazing for news stringer work. The first one that gets out the picture and the story gets the sales.
7:25 is the hot shoe cover really that big of a deal or is it just a running “joke” at this point? I bought one for my R6II and have had zero issues removing it.
I found it tough to remove on my R5M2 the first few times but now it's easy to get off and on
They said it was really bad on the preproduction one they handled, probably just iffy tolerances on a prototype.
The grip pattern looks familiar
As a pro shooter for 18 years, megapixels don't matter anymore.
I have no desire for more megapixels since the original 5D came out, it felt like plenty then, still does.
@@joseperalta6235as an amateur, the original 6d had the sweetspot, with a budget prime i have got some tack sharp crisp photos without much effort and can be printed at huge sizes.
@@joseperalta6235btw i have a 5D classic, still fully functional, but the AF is very unreliable.
Either you carry more MP for cropping or you carry more lens for framing.
As you said MP don't matter anymore. It's how you use the tool for your goal
I guess MP lost its importance back in the day when the Nikon D800 came out. LOL! :-)
This just makes me think on my a9iii. Glad to see more coversge of the R1🎉
Filmmaker/Photographer here...what do you all think is the better camera between the R1 and the R5mkii for someone who shoots both photo and video?
Excellent still picture capability.
0:26 looking forward to this year's annual Chris & Jordan video. :)
hope for a video about the A1ii on Thursday :) im so hyped and hoping for more improvements than the rumor telling :)
Well, the rumoured ‘specs’ have been pretty meaningless and so sparse as to be totally unhelpful. I suspect though, that Sony might just hand around a few A1ii’s on Thursday, but anybody who grabs one probably won’t have anything like enough time to properly evaluate it. Or tell us anything like enough about it.
The RF 100-300mm f2.8 L images looks outstanding! I can’t make up my mine on which to buy first. The R1 or the RF 100-300mm f/2.8 and just pair it with my R5.
I am a wildlife photographer and I shoot Canon because I like the autofocus. I shoot the R3 and think the R5II is OK, not great. I had a Z9 but sold it and keep shooting Canon. The AF just works.
I mean if you shoot the camera for its autofocus you be shooting Sony, not Canon.
@SMGJohn in this day and age, it's Sony who has a little catch-up to do in terms of autofocus. (sure the a1 II will probably be that catch-up)
@@SMGJohn I dont care for the Sony RAW files or the their color science. My favorite is Nikon but they lack the AF capability that both Canon and Sony possesses. Canon fits my needs perfectly in a world of compromise. 🤗
@@romani8494 Agreed 100%!! 🤗
Same here, I’m a wildlife photographer and the R3 is my camera. Great AF, fast, excellent image quality and built like a tank. Sold my R5 and haven’t looked back.

@@cursedknot well for DSLR maybe, R1 is far superior in every way
A bit skeptical about it baking in post processing into the raw. Nowadays with authenticity requirements for journalistic photographs, I wonder if what sounds like baked into raw editing without the choice to disable it sounds like a potential issue for some users of the demographic they aim at. I know people that said that they cannot use any edit that sharpens or denoises. They said they can do a bit of exposure and a bit of contrast in the post processing. They do nothing else. If it automatically adds some edits that are not contrast or exposure, then that might be an issue since the files probably also have baked into the metadata the editing that is baked in, which could disqualify the photo from the get go
Isn't corrugated steel those wavy panels people use for roofing? I thought the studded metal panels were diamond plate or something.
Boiler Plate.
..Joe
They should build more specialised camera.s one for wildlife one for studio work one for video. all optimized for their job
Ah yes the R3 mk2
Not really, the screen is worse.
@ so the R3 -1?
For shortsighted photographers like you, there are other cameras available. Canon thinks of us all!
Still a damn good camera though
Then don't buy the camera. There are other brands such as Sony Panasonic Nikon that you can use.
Sounds like the R3 is a better deal
it is. 95% of the camera for a much nicer price point.
Everyone gets hung up on the mp. I had the r5 and the r6ii. I tested them side by side, shooting the exact same subjects / settings, with the same lens. Pixel peepling on a PC, the ability to crop further on the r5 was almost negligible. The better low light performance was very noticeable.
I currently have the r5ii and r6ii. The r6ii is still way better in low light than the r5ii, but the r5ii has way better autofocus, pre shooting, eye tracking etc... all that I love. For shooting a mix of events, sports (day and night) portraits, and very limited products (nothing high end). 24 MP is completely fine when the shot is taken correctly in camera.
Can't wait for the r6iii.
If anyone wants to buy my r5ii I'm happy to sell it to get the r1, and run the 6ii as a backup.
Yes you can get by with it but the cropping factor of high MP is equally as important and in extreme cases can reduce the number of lenses you need to carry, cropping ability etc… My R6 I really want more these days for macro and landscapes. I would also love a reliable body like my 1Dx but I could buy 5 x R6 for the price of this camera and just burn through them with extreme activities
@@whatcouldgowrong7914 Have you ever taken side by side pics both cameras? I have.
unless you look at the size of the image, the amount you can crop is marginally better. The r6ii, r3, and r1 have sensors that are great and can still be cropped.
Just numbers alone, I think most people think 2x MP would give 2X crop, doesn't work that way IRL.
@@heyyou918 Depends on the sensor, the GFX 100 is a massive jump from the R6 or Sonys 60MP FF sensor. Being able to punch in during editing and seeing actual detail and not just pixel blocks is amazing and like I said the cropping ability on 60MP + sensors can remove the need to carry some lenses sometimes if you’re travelling. I just think they need a flagship camera to cater to more than sports. I miss my 1DX body but its over a decade old now and this is barely any resolution increase.
@@whatcouldgowrong7914 LOL - Ok, so your bringing Medium Format into the mix???
Ok, onto Sony, once you start cropping images from the same size sensor, FF 33 vs FF 60, the amount of crop you can do is far less than what most people think.
can someone please make a comprehensive video showing this.
If you crop a 60MP sony sensor down to 33mp, and compare it to a pic taken with a 33MP FF sony sensor - - - comparing sony to sony, the uncropped 33mp sensor wins ever day.
It's not linear, 2x MP does not equal 2x crop - there may be a marginal - 5% to maybe 8% extra room to crop. So great, make your 500 F4 look like 525, compared to shooting the 33mp camera and not cropping at all. You can crop both sensors, I agree to that, and you can crop ever so slightly more with the higher MP, but thanks marketing for making people think it's an amazing amount more.
I suspect you've got some questionable lenses then. It is *extremely* noticeable if you have sharp enough lenses. The difference between my a7R photos and R6 is night and day (yes I jumped ship to Sony).
At the 7:11 mark, the R3 appears to be missing the viewfinder hood, indicating a possible oversight (Goof!). Additionally, the R1 seems to be what the R3 Mark II could have been. The Canon R5ii, with its 45MP sensor, offers a feature set comparable to the R1 but is approximately $2K less expensive. Utilizing the R5ii battery grip provides an additional battery and enhances the physical handling, similar to the R1/R3.I've used two R3s and am currently using two R5 IIs for sports photography, which offer significantly better cropping quality than the 24.1MP resolution. I won't consider the R1 at this time, perhaps waiting for a much-improved R1 Mark II. It might be a long wait, haha.
Fast Wifi and ethernet for pro sports photographers where the photo has to get put as fast as possible. For all others R5.
The AF subject tracking shown here is subjective because the arena seats are empty with no faces. The R3 and R5m2 both have tendenacies to jump back and forth with AF given lots of faces in the frame, so is R1 even stickier? No mention of comparing high iso images vs R3. The R1 is not a specialized camera, just an incremental upgrade from R3 imo. As an R3 owner, the real upgrade path is a R5m2 and not the R1.
amen
The other thing to note here is regarding sports, a 24mb body with a 100-300 is perfect for hockey or basketball with enough focal length to fill a good portion of the frame. Football, soccer, baseball for example I'll take the R5m2 all day long with a super tele. People mention the R1 MP as a negative, the reality is it depends on the sport and focal length needed. I think reviewers miss this concept.
As a guy who will never be more than an avid hobbyist - though always trying to learn more and improve my technique - there's no way in the world that I should have an R1. However, as a guy with no bills and with retirement on the horizon, I WANT an R1! I believe it's time to start saving up for one.
PS: Great review, and as a lifelong hockey fan, I loved your images!
Well, I hope you treat yourself and enjoy the results. I have a 1dx-mk3 and had it with me on a canon workshop during the summer. They gave me an R3 with the rf400mm f2.8 lens to shoot birds in flight. And holy god, the speed was insane with that combo. So I can only imagine what the R1 would be like. Cant quite afford to splash out on that upgrade quite yet myself.
Great Video!!
Jeff Cable slot with the R1 during the olympics and started his autofocus hit rate was over 95%. That's insane. Check out his Behind The Shot interview. I'll take his word as a top shooter over any reviewer.
Were you guys able to test the sensor's dynamic range vs the R3 and R5M2, especially at the higher ISOs?
I really love your bag. May I ask you what brand it is?
The music... My ears...
The *moustache control* definitely works reliably here! 😁
Do I WANT the R1?! Yes. Do I NEED the R1?! No…My 1DXMKiii has been CRUSHING it since 2020 and the R1 just isn’t ENOUGH to get me to make that move up…😅
You're not tired of having so few AF points yet?
Dude calm down :o
After using a R system camera I would never go back to a DSLR. Too many advantages to the mirrorless system.
the moustache ! love it 🤗
I LOVE EYE CONTROL FOCUS. HAVE IT ON MY OLD EOS 3...
Have you checked when the base ISO reset occurs in C-Log2?
When I tested the camera at the Canon event, it was still on early firmware (below version 1), and with the cap on, it was clearly visible that this sensor, like the C80 and C400, also has three noise reset levels at ISO 800, 1600, and 12,800.
Have you checked what the final values are?
did you use back button autofocus?
24MP is perfect for journalism and sports!
And video.
thank you for the review. I would have liked a more direct comparison with the R5II in sports. While they share the same AF the R1 is supposed to be better. I would have liked to hear more about that. I picked the R5II over the A1 because of the resolution, price and portability I would be interested to know if the AF was worth to move to the R1
4:55 “I honestly kind of wonder why they even decided to put a mechanical shutter in here…” I wonder if LED banding had something to do with it? It may be that many venues have “photo safe” LEDs now, but probably at least as many do not…
I shoot with a Z9 along side other photographers shooting with Sony and Canon and the banding is in everyone’s shots. It’s about how well the high frequency reduction is. I’ve got it almost non-existent on my Nikon with their implementation. I’m not sure if the other guys I shoot with have set theirs up appropriately. Nonetheless, I don’t think mechanical vs electronic makes a difference for LED frequency banding.
It's kind of wild to think that this is the equivalent of Leica's SL3 in Canon's system, considering how utterly different the feature set is (not a knock against either, I would much rather every camera in the market be different than the same). Kind of crazy this doesn't seem to have an IP rating by comparison though, even if it has a million more techy features.
It feels weird that a such camera is only specified to work at 0° to 40 °C where as the OM1-2 and the X-H2s which cost a fraction of the R1, are specified to work until -10°C.
For outdoor thosestwo look better.
It’s just a legal disclaimer to play safe, I’m pretty sure R1 can work in harsher environments than OM-1
@@zegzbrutal Well, Canon is not sure about that 😛
OM is putting it in writing which means they are confident of the claim in a legal sense.
I'm pretty surprised they didn't invest in getting an IP rating for this camera. Leica did it for the SL3 and that camera isn't nearly as appropriate for outdoor use as this is.
@@zegzbrutal it's called an IP rating. OM systems gears are rated to take wild conditions such as rain, dust, sand etc. They stand by their products. Canon says it is, but won't stand by their words or products.
Ah yes, the 3 sports, basketball, soccer, and volleyball. Thank you Canon, very cool.
I was hoping you were going to drive by on the zamboni
As a birder I appreciate your honesty and frankly telling it like it is. A huge pass for me.

For the most, it depends what camp your already in. anything better for vid & you might as well go to pro dedicated video camera. Perfect for a journalist no matter the genre.
Great review . Question : any overheating issues for photo or video ?
apparently not.

Let's take a moment to appreciate Jordan's moustache.
So, will be in the future be Canon EOS R1s which is basically higher resolution but slower version of EOS R1?
Also: people will say that high megapixel means more room for cropping
And also: built-in denoise?
One can hope. Maybe that is what they will do with the R3 MKII. R1 sports and journalists, R3 rugged wildlife.
As good as the camera is, I think the RF 100-300 is what will become a legend.
oh glob. the water shot gave me a headache lol. indoor sports it seems.

Something wrong with calculations in mp in your video about viewfinder and lcd screen. 1440x960 is not 4,15m.

Is the bag from Chris the 7L or the 10L version?
Which bag is it?
Awesome & Thanks :)
Nah I thought the joystick was the best but I tried a 1DX Mark III and the Smart Controller is SO good. It's way faster and just as prescise.
I would have liked the R5ii sensor in this instead. And they could have had two pro bodies. One with high megapixels but a little slower and this one.
Or just market it as an R3ii and work for a global sensor.
Very similar to Nikon’s Z9 and Z8. I agree
Could still happen.
Why took off the lens hood?
@ Is it really necessary to always use a lens hood? Absolutely! Developing good photography habits not only improves your shots but also sets a great example if you're aiming to influence others.
The lens hood is more than just an accessory-it’s a safeguard. Its primary function is to block unwanted light, reducing lens flare and improving image quality. But that’s not all. It also provides critical protection against environmental factors like dust and water droplets, especially in windy or rainy conditions.
Most importantly, a lens hood acts as a physical shield. If your camera takes a hit-whether from a drop, an accidental bump, or even a flying soccer ball-the hood often absorbs the impact. Without it, the damage could extend to the lens itself, and trust me, that kind of repair or replacement isn’t cheap.
I’m not just theorizing here; this advice comes from experience. So if your lens comes with a hood, make it a habit to use it every time. It’s a small step that can save you a lot of trouble down the line.
Does anyone know what bag is this one?
Image quality vs the R3?
few reviewers are touching this subject. It is very clear that this has been a "no go" zone pushed by Canon, onto reviewers. Canon doesn't want reviewers say the R3 IQ is just as good as the R1 and R1 sales being hit.
Triple Base?
I do fashion,portrait and wedding is this to much camera for me?
Oversampled 4K 60 that was lacking from the R52
“Register people priority” is an old feature useful for group photos where it’s important to have the bride in focus.
I've been wondering for some time why camera MFG dont offer thsome of there cameras with different sensor size option....maybe you want the R1 and all its features but you really want 50mp instead of 24mp.....I cant I know they have a other cameras with 50mp, but its not the R1
You compared the readout specs of the z9 vs the R1 stating that the R1 is faster which it is, but that is because its at 24MP whereas the z9/z8 has 45MP which will obviously need power to keep up with larger file sizes. If the z9 would be 24MP, I'm sure it would be able to keep up with the speeds of the R1.
If it was, it would be. But it is not 😂
@@kamilwiejaczka272 45mp at 5ms...vs 24mp at what, 3ms? That sensor readout speed, at such fast speeds, means SFA. That megapixel difference though...
How is the overheating on this camera like how long can it record the over sampled 4K 30 or 4K 60 or even the raw light 6K. I’d love to know if it’s a decent potential interview camera which I’m not gonna record it over 30 frames per second? Cause I know with my R5 Mark two with the cooling grip I can get over two hours of 8KP 30 continuously and I was kind of eyeing the C4 hundred and the C 80 but I do a lot of photography as well so would like something that can do both really well And when I buy another Camera, I like to get different capabilities versus just buying two of the same thing. Yeah I could just buy a second r5 markii
How come their flagship camera has only 24 mp which is not sufficient for wildlide
🎉Camera Man is Good Man❤
It seems like the perfect camera for sports photography, but as a wildlife photographer I'm disappointed. I think every wildlife photographer with the means to do so would spend good money on a body with these specs, but with 45MP. I really hope Canon will take that next step. As a bird- and other wildlifephotographer who photographs a lot of high speed action, I find that the megapixels of the R5 make a lot of difference in pictures, but I don't necessarily need more than 20 frames per second. Seems like it could be done if Canon wanted to.
Any reason why they would downgrade the lcd panel from the r3 ? It’s half the res. I don’t understand that 😮
Battery life maybe? Seems a stretch though, with that EVF resolution you wouldn’t use it anyway I think
yeah I was thinking that but the batteries in this are very high power. Can’t see that being an issue really. A lot of people would likely shoot with the lcd off most of the time. Would be nice to have the r3 res lcd for when you need it on the move to review images. Makes no sense to me.
@@theonlyredspecial Perhaps pro shooters don’t really use them? Not saying im a pro because im not but my rear screen on the R6 is actually folded away constantly, I only use the EVF to review photos due to the dark viewing
Yeah maybe. I do earn money myself and don’t often use the lcd to be honest unless I’m using the x2d medium format but it would still be nice if they kept the r3 spec. I’ve used the z9 and as far as I remember the lcd is the same res as the r1. But I fail to comprehend the logic why canon did this from r3 to r1. Maybe it isn’t a big deal !
@@whatcouldgowrong7914 many, many pros used the R3...
