Canon R1 Overview

The Canon EOS R1 is Canon’s flagship full-frame professional camera, designed for durable, fast-action photography. It was officially announced on July 17, 2024.

The EOS R1 features an all-new 24.2 Megapixel back-illuminated stacked CMOS sensor, ensuring blazing fast readout speeds and enhanced low-light performance.

Action priority enables the camera to track specific people, balls, movement, and eye-control AF, ensuring you capture the perfect action shot even in fast-paced scenes. Works with three sports at the moment: soccer, volleyball, and basketball.

For even faster positioning of your active AF Area, the R1 adds Canon’s Eye Control AF – even more advanced than the Eye Control in the EOS R3 camera.

The R1 can capture 6K Raw footage at up to 60p in the 1.89:1 aspect ratio. Alternatively, it can shoot DCI or UHD 4K derived from this 6K capture at up to 60p.

About Timothy Mayo

I love shooting wildlife the most but will happily point my camera at pretty much anything. I started RFShooters.com with my amazing sister Emma to share our own adventure with the Canon R Series. At present I own the R5 + RF 100-500 lens. I also run a similar site for Sony Alpha Shooters and also shoot with a Sony A1. I find new camera technology fascinating so I unfortunately suffer from a very bad case of GAS! You can follow me on Instagram if you wish! Although I don’t post as often as I should.
