Unmatched Speed and Subject Tracking
At the heart of the EOS R1 lies a 24-megapixel stacked CMOS sensor that’s paired with a DIGIC X processor. Additionally, it includes a DIGIC Accelerator. This combination delivers blazing-fast performance, with continuous shooting speeds of up to 40 fps using the electronic shutter. The next-generation Dual Pixel Intelligent AF system ensures precise subject tracking, even in fast-paced scenarios. Whether you’re capturing athletes in action or wildlife on the move, the EOS R1 can keep up.
Revolutionary Features for Professional Workflows
The EOS R1 introduces several innovative features designed to streamline professional workflows. In-Camera Upscaling allows you to create high-quality, 96-megapixel equivalent images directly in the camera, perfect for situations where extreme cropping is necessary. Additionally, the Neural Network Noise Reduction tackles image noise for cleaner high-ISO JPEGs.
Built for Efficiency and Durability
The EOS R1 is built to withstand the rigors of professional use. Its lightweight magnesium alloy exterior is 23% lighter and 11% smaller than its predecessor, the EOS-1D X Mark III. Although it still maintains weather-sealing for dust and water resistance. The camera also features a high-resolution, blackout-free electronic viewfinder and a vari-angle touchscreen LCD for intuitive control.
Enhanced Video Capabilities
Videographers will appreciate the EOS R1’s ability to capture stunning 6K 60p RAW video footage. The camera offers a variety of professional video features, including Canon Log 2 and 3 for advanced colour grading, false colour monitoring, and proxy recording for smoother editing. Additionally, the EOS R1 is the first EOS camera to support in-camera LUT application, a feature previously exclusive to Cinema EOS cameras.
Improved Connectivity and Flash Performance
The EOS R1 boasts the latest Wi-Fi 6/6E protocol for faster wireless file transfers and 2.5GBase-T wired LAN connectivity for even quicker transmission of large image and video files. For photographers who rely on flash, the EOS R1’s faster sensor readout speed allows for flash photography even during continuous shooting with the electronic shutter.
