Canon R1 hands-on: Incredible speed but 24MP resolution may disappoint


Canon has unveiled its most important camera in years — the EOS R1 mirrorless.

Launched alongside the 45-megapixel R5 II, it’s the company's new flagship designed to replace the 1DX Mark III DSLR and help Canon maintain its leadership in the pro sports photography field. That allows for maximum RAW burst speeds, as well as fast and reliable backups, but you'll end up throwing your SD card collection out the window. Other features like face-memorization, sports-specific AF and cross action seem good on paper, but I wasn’t able to get the most out of them in the short time I had the camera — so further testing is required.
