Canon EOS R1 in Development: To Release This Year

Canon announced the development of the EOS R1, its first flagship mirrorless camera for the EOS R System. This full-frame camera is designed for professional photographers and videographers, offering top-tier performance, durability, and reliability.

Enhanced Performance for Demanding Fields

The EOS R1 boasts a new image processing system, featuring the DIGIC X processor alongside the newly developed DIGIC Accelerator. This powerful combination, coupled with a new CMOS sensor, promises significant improvements in autofocus (AF), image processing speed, and overall performance.

Advanced Autofocus with Deep Learning

By leveraging deep learning technology, the EOS R1 delivers high-speed and highly accurate subject recognition. This translates to improved subject tracking, even in complex situations like fast-paced sports where players frequently move in and out of frame.

Capture Decisive Moments with Confidence

The AF “Action Priority” function analyzes subject movement and automatically prioritizes focusing on specific actions,such as a player shooting a ball. This allows photographers to capture critical moments with greater ease.

Improved Image Quality for Enhanced Creativity

The EOS R1 integrates Canon’s advanced image noise reduction technology, previously available only on PC software, to deliver exceptional image quality directly in-camera. This empowers photographers to push creative boundaries with greater confidence.

Targeted for Professional Use

Canon is actively conducting field tests with the EOS R1, aiming to support professional photographers capturing impactful moments at upcoming international sporting events.

Expanding the EOS R Ecosystem

Canon remains committed to expanding the EOS R System with exciting new cameras and RF lenses, catering to the diverse needs of photographers and videographers, and contributing to the continued development of the photographic and video culture.
