I'm sure it's a good camera. A very good camera, but the R1 is only very slightly faster than the Z8's readout, despite having half the resolution.
Have we seen any measurements of the R1 readout speed yet? Closest I've seen is the flash sync speed which is 2x as fast as the Z8.
Readout speed is 1/300s. However, regarding flash sync:
From Canon's official technical specs, the R1 can flash sync at 1/320s, but that's with electronic first curtain shutter (so it uses the mechanical shutter for the second curtain). Z8 is 1/200s, so it's not twice as fast. Also, the R1 does 1/200s in full mechanical. The official technical specifications don't list a sync speed in electronic shutter mode, and in fact have a listing that says that flash is not available in electronic shutter mode. (Nor can it be used for HDR, multiple exposure, multi shot noise reduction, AEB, HDR PQ, or anti-flicker shooting (say what?).
That's honestly just utterly baffling.
The 20D's 1/250 beats the Z8 , then.
These older cameras do have advantages here and there
Sure. And my 1981 Mamiya C330f can sync at 1/1000s. What's your point?
Well, you were going on about synch speeds. I saw the 1/250 on the 20D, thought some of the newer bodies couldn't do that.
It's not like there's a lot of value in staying OT in this thread, mostly complaining about the R1
I would say that the extra 3.25 stops of dynamic range that newer bodies have would easily make up for the 1/3 stop loss in flash sync speed...if you have to overexpose by 1/3 stop, it's pretty darn easy to recover that in post vs a 20D file. Not sure that's actually an advantage.
