What’s special on the EOS R1? The EOS R1 has Canon’s most advanced autofocus yet, with a cross-type system. This means it works in tough conditions such as when shooting through a tennis net, picking out smaller subjects and locking on to vertical detail. This latest technology uses a completely new Dual Pixel CMOS AF sensor arrangement in which individual divisions of pixels are rotated by 90° for autofocus tracking sensitivity along both the vertical and horizontal axes. Canon’s new camera offers 40fps stills using the silent electronic shutter with AF tracking and 20 frames of pre- continuous shooting. A relatively modest 24.2-megapixel, back-side illuminated stacked sensor is designed for speed and low noise. Although a 96-megapixel file can be created in camera with deep- learning and image upscaling. Flash sync speed now goes up to 1/400 sec. The EOS R1 offers 6K at 60fps or C4K at 120fps, along with Full HD at 240fps.

“The EOS R1 and EOS R5 Mark II offer video in 12- bit Raw recorded to the memory card internally, as well as Cinema EOS Movie Recording formats”

Additionally, the EOS R5 Mark II offers 8K/60p resolution from the full width of the sensor and 12-bit Raw recording internally, along with 4K video at up to 120p with sound. There is a new £549/$399 Cooling Fan Grip specifically designed to prevent the overheating problems that plagued the original EOS R5. Canon lanched the fan-equipped R5 C, but there is no news as to whether a more video-centric version of the new camera will be launched. The camera uses a higher-performance LP-E6P battery and includes a brighter, fog-resistant viewfinder. The R5 Mark II has features like a waveform monitor, false colour and zebra display.

It features a newly designed weather- resistant body with renewed outer texture and integrated vertical grip. The EVF has an anti-fog design and wide viewfinder eyepiece – and the new two-stage AF-ON button allows the instant activation of two programmable functions. The high-res option The EOS R5 Mark II offers higher- res video in a body more suitable for professional filmmaking as it’s smaller. For stills, the electronic shutter is capable of 30fps with low rolling shutter in the 15-frame, pre-continuous shooting mode. Advanced image upscaling can achieve up to 180-megapixel shots.
