This is my initial review of the new Canon R1, based only upon what was revealed
in the past 24 hours, as compared to my Canon R3 bodies:

Early this morning I watched the 3am, official Canon R1 (flagship) launch video,
plus two people's leak videos of Canon's R1 specs, as translated into English
from a Chinese-language, supposedly confidential, internal Canon R1 spec sheet
that had been posted online and then quickly taken down.

Several key features and specs were revealed, between the three videos:

- The price is $6,300 (less than I was anticipating it would cost). As a viable
alternative, the R3 continues being heavily discounted. Recently I've seen them
advertised for as low as $3,500., although the current lowest price that I've
seen is $4,000.

- Before the shutter release is fully pressed, the R1 can be preset to
pre-record several seconds of stills or video, if the shutter button is half
pressed.

- 17MP JPEGs can now be shot WHILE RECORDING VIDEOS. The ability to shoot
several stills while video is being recorded is a feature that my pro-Nikon
DSLRs (D4S and D5) had. It is a an important feature that I would really like to
have again. This feature alone means that, at some point, I will buy a Canon R1.

- The Canon R1 has two CF Express Type-B cards, instead of the one CF Express
card and one SDXC card that my Canon R3s have. My final two pro-Nikon DSLRs
(before I sold them and switched to shooting Canon after 50 years!) also used to
have two identical, high-speed memory card drives. I liked that because they
enabled me to record the exact same things to both cards at the same time, in
case one failed. I cannot record RAW images of the same size files to the SDXC
card because the SDXC drive records more slowly, so doing so would significantly
slow down bursts and quick successions of shots. Instead, to maintain my shot
speed, I can only record Large JPEGs to the SDXC (backup) drive. However, as
much as I thought I preferred having cameras with two CF Express Type-B
drives/cards, having cameras with an SDXC drive enabled me to instantly deliver
large JPEGs to my new client earlier this month. His computer did not have a CF
Express Type-B card reader, nor could he open Canon RAW images, so I let him
copy my hundreds of Large JPEGs from my SDXC cards to his computer, which he
then viewed to choose photos immediately to post on their social media. If he
had not been able to do that, he would not have bought several hundred dollars
worth of photos from me. I do not think that transferring hundreds of Large
JPEGs in bulk via WiFi from my Canon R3 cameras to his computer would have been
a practical alternative.

The Canon R1 apparently has somewhat improved (less noise) low light/high ISO
(100,000 ISO) performance.

The Canon R1 has an improved, zero blackout viewfinder.

The Canon R1 has improved eye control (I've never used the earlier version of
that feature on my R3 cameras, due to my wearing glasses).

Noise reduction can now be performed in a few seconds inside the Canon R1,
on-demand as needed, after the images are shot, with the resultant images being
saved as JPEGs. In other words, this means that shots can have noise reduction
applied in-camera, instead of later, which would require editing the photos
using editing software in a computer, after downloading them. I use Adobe
Lightroom Classic's new DeNoise feature, or Topaz' Photo AI — except when the
photos have text, which Photo AI still distorts. Unless noise reduction could be
done simultaneously in the Canon R1 as the photos are being shot, this new
feature would not be something that I would probably use.

The Canon R1 is slightly larger than the R3.

The Canon R1 has a much higher maximum flash synch speed: 1/400th of a second
versus 1/180th of a second by the Canon R3. This should permit blur-free flash
shots when the subject (or the camera) is quickly moving.

The Canon R1 has better video specs.

I want a Canon R1.
