Yesterday, Adorama published a long list of supposed Canon EOS R1 specifications that provided a lot more detail on the newly-announced camera than Canon published in its development announcement. I don't believe them.
Adorama seems to know more about the EOS R1 than Canon revealed last night as it has published more detailed specifications on the upcoming flagship including sensor resolution, continuous shooting capability, AI exposure enhancement, and more.
Canon published an official development announcement for the EOS R1 and while not a lot has been revealed, it is the company's first public acknowledgment of what will be its top-end camera.
There have been murmurs of an "EOS R1" camera for more than three years now -- since before Canon announced the EOS R3. The camera has been in development for at least five years and a lot has changed in that time.
When the Canon EOS R3 hit the market two years ago, we knew there would be a flagship R1 camera coming at some point. While we wait, we figured why not make a wishlist of the features and technologies we would like to see when the R1 finally arrives.
The Canon R5 II was originally speculated to arrive this year, but a new report claims that isn't happening. In lieu of a new camera body, Canon will instead be bringing new functionality to the original R5 via a "major" firmware update.
A new report is echoing previous predictions that Canon's true flagship EOS R1 is coming in 2023, but adds a new twist: it is expected to boast 100-megapixels.
