My readers know me as The Wildlife Ho-tographer. I have been a Canon user for over three decades, mostly in wildlife photography. I bought the first EOS-1 camera back in 1989 when it was first introduced and have upgraded to every new model since then. You can follow my travels on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, see my equipment bag and works on MichaelDanielHo.com
Many of you also know I am not a fan of mirrorless cameras, notwithstanding the great improvement made in the EOS R5 and EOS R6 models. My biggest complaints are the latency in the EVF versus a top-of-the-line DSLR camera like the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III. The mediocre battery life even when a battery grip is added and the marginal benefit of the RF over the EF mount lenses.
However, Canon is expected to announce the EOS R1 sometime in the first half of 2021, if the Covid pandemic does not worsen and the 2021 Tokyo Olympics in July is still on. Otherwise, the announcement and delivery will be delayed till the second half of 2021. The new camera will be the best Canon top-of-the-line body ever and may include the following :
- All new image sensor with a global sensor
- Best-in-class AF system superior to the EOS R5 and EOS R6 cameras
- Quad Pixel AF with best-in-class dynamic range
- The fastest frame rate of any Canon camera, not using Live View
- Imperceptible latency in the EVF. Almost equal to a DSLR viewfinder
- Best battery life of any Canon mirrorless camera w/o a battery grip
