That's okay, all anyone really needs to watch is the 12:00-14:30 minute mark if you are still defending this camera as being a flagship instead of an R3mkII.

That is exactly the thing I don't want to do, is to cherry pick the parts he says bad things about the camera. Mostly very positive, so far. Like you'd expect on a $6k camera,should be an excellent camera.

When I owned the R3, I used eye control a fair bit while shooting cheetahs in Tanzania and I found it to work really well. One thing I did was to make it a point to do additional performance/refine calibrations for the same calibration number based on the different lighting situations. To be clear I didn't need to do it all the time... it was something I did if the lighting was something I did not have recorded before. The big negative I found using it was that it drained the battery a lot faster.

Seems like a useful feature, to select af points more easily. Good to know, about doing different calibrations etc

It's not cherry picking, it's the explanation for why the R1 is not a flagship camera, which is what everyone seems to be bummed about, yet some people here who are having a hard time understanding that. The R1 is a great sports camera, it's a Canon flagship sports camera if that's what you prefer, or an R3mkII. Plain and simple.

He claims he's getting clean ISO 51200 jpegs out of it (13:45-15:00 or so, doesn't have raw software to open these yet.) Claims it's cleaner than 45mp or A9III. Can debate flagship, but flagship has been the 1Dx series more recently, less mp,

I'm not a sports shooter but I was super impressed with the basketball mode he was using. Finding the next player with the ball way faster than a human can pan over and get a point onto the player that just received the pass. Those team sports with so many players overlapping each other have always looked very difficult to shoot.

I am blown away. That feature is enough of an upgrade for me if every single other thing was the same as my current 1DX Mk II. (I guess the full AF system would be needed though.)

Some of the highlight shots in a basketball game and a volleyball match are those that are hit or miss for me.

I currently have a pair of R5’s and they are good cameras but there are a couple of things that I am frustrated with. First the size of the R5 is too small for me, even with a grip. Specifically with my 100-500 my (large) fingers don’t fit comfortably. They are squished between the lens and the grip. When I pick the combination up it always gives me the sensation that I am going to drop it. The R1 clearly offers more room in that area. I also find the viewfinder on the R5 gives me a lot of eye strain, not an enjoyable experience. I am optimistic about the new viewfinder in the R1 with the higher resolution and refresh rates. All the E- shutter upgrades including 1/400 flash sync and adjustable drive speeds along with all the many refinements, bit depth, pre shooting, read out speeds etc, not to mention the AF upgrades. I am starting to come around with this camera and I am beginning to look forward to getting back to the EOS-1 line.

I think recent downsizing in Canons staff shows a desire to maintain viability while doing what they can in-house. In some of the recent launch videos the statements were made about Canon's desire to produce their own sensors instead of buying from Sony. Covid, worsening inflation, poor semiconductor and other component availability is still plaguing the camera industry (still having trouble filling RF 100-300 orders). Flagship? Maybe this is Canon's "8k R5" marketing mistake for this release period, by pushing this verbiage?

Most of the downsizing has been in their printing segment as that market contracts more and more each quarter.

What sensors is Canon buying from Sony? I know they use Sony EVF's and screens, but Canon generally makes their sensors.

Agreed. Canon still designs and fabs their own sensors.

This looks absolutely insane. If the R1 is not a flagship then what it is? I know, someone mentioned that the R5II can do 95% of what the R1 can, but still... That 5% is the edge. Now if Canon finally makes a 200-500, that plus the R1 will be a dream come true sports rig.

You may not have intended to imply Canon was buying Sony sensors but you may want to read what you wrote again.

Cheers

The statements made ON THE VIDEOS I WATCHED, made the assertions the Canon could keep up better if they did buy from Sony.
