I shoot high school sports and have previously used EOS 1DX Mark II and III bodies, as well as the EOS R3. I agree that the R1 is not a huge deviation from the 1DX or R3 bodies, but pro shooters don't want (at least I don't want) drastically different models when we upgrade. This camera provides the same feel and features of the other pro models (rugged build, reliability, pro features) and greatly improves features like focus, low light abilities, and quality. I don't want 45 megapixels for sports shooting. I need to take a log of photos and upload/process them fast. I shoot mostly in the jpg format and Canon is long known to have the best jpg processing and color rendition. The R1 continues that and is the perfect upgrade for my 1DX and R3 bodies.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I wanted to pre-order this, but I could not. This is just a slight hardware bump over the R3, sure the autofocus will be great but without a higher resolution picture, it will produce the same images that the R3 makes. Save your money and wait for a version that has more megapixels.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I hoped this camera would be higher than the R5 which I own which has 45 mp images. I prayed that this Amazing camera would at least be 65 mp. Nope! It’s just a 24 mp…. Why ? Why? Why? Fuljifilm has 104 mp cameras and Sony had 65 mp cameras and Canon does not.
