Canon R1 R1 coming, are you ready

Btw should we soon add new section in the gear area for R1?

On the rumored specs at Canonrumors, two items that would make me very happy:

-very fast read-out (so fast they don't include mechanical shutter) (hopefully include user configurable variable frame rate though)

-one second pre-record. Especially my sports easily at least 50% of bursts I already know were not correct timing so learning to utilize the 1 second buffer would be great way to reduce culling. Just need to learn to do that correctly.


Anyone else looking/interested in R1?

I don't think the R1 has global shutter though. The rumor says the readout speed is so fast they don't need that, also they don't need even (mechanical) shutter. So if that is true, only shutter-mode on R1 will be e-Shutter.

Well, if it works as well global, and does away with x-sync, then I guess I don’t care what they call it.

The rumor said x-sync would be around 1/1250, so not completely away but better than 1/200.
