If you need more RESOLUTION .. the R5 or the R5 Mark II is for you..

Great Camera..
Much better than expected...
Excellent Sports . People/portrait, and LARGE wildlife camera..
The R5 Mark II is a better at capturing small/tiny wildlife and then cropping..
I would recommend this to a friend!

R1 in right hands is a champion.

Exceeded expectations in every way. Laser focus for tens of thousands of images per day. Unsure of why others are upset over more claimed pixels. The R1 is the best investment I have ever made after 50 years on the job. Paid for itself on day one. Thank you Canon.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Simply THE best

Anyone who complains about the 24MP is an idiot and doesn't shoot sports professionally.
They also need to learn to frame the image using the view finder and not rely on cropping.
24 MP is more than enough.
The R1 is the Canon equivalent of the Sony A9 III.
The R5 II is the equivalent of the Sony A1 II - just $2000 cheaper.
I own an R1 and R3.
I also own an R5 II and a R5.
The R1 solves most of the issues I have with the R3, like having dual CFX B card slots.
Adding better AF, pre-capture, a bigger, brighter EVF, 40 FPS and to me it was worth the loss selling an R3.
The same with the R5 II vs. the R.
The question is, if I were to trade up again, would it be for a second R1 or a second R5 II?
It would be for a second R1 :)

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.

Still small mega pixel images.

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.
