Thoughts on EOS R1 sensor

[Frito-1]

Hi All,

I have to admit that the 24MP sensor in the flagship camera is a bit of a disappointment.  I would like higher resolution without having to use PhotoShop to stitch pictures together.  Any one know why Canon did not go with a resolution closer to the R5?

Thanks in advance,

Fred

Trevor,

I understand your point, however, I did qualify my post as a rumor and as rumors go they maybe right and they may not be.  The point is that Canon is not done and there is more to come and the message is, stay tuned.  As for who has a better batting average for their rumors being right, I don't know.  I like to know who the person is that's on strike that whose rumors you believe are mostly right, and you trust. I say mostly cause not all rumors are true, regardless of who is spouting them.  I posted the link cause I founded interesting and it did correctly say that "Canon is not done and there's more to come".  Time will tell what Canon comes up with next, and what they will call it but be assured that it will be something that canon customers are clamoring for.  As for the technology being there or not only Canon knows what they have.  I  know for a fact that companies will sit on technology so that they can maximize return on investment on the tech that they already have in the market.  So who is to say what Canon has up their sleeves.  Only Canon knows and the rest are rumors.  Only when Canon announces it will it be a truism.  😉

Frito-1,

Thanks for your thoughts!  I already preordered the R5 Mark II and can't wait to get it.  However, if I were in the market for a Canon Flagship with more than 24.2 MP, I'd wait cause something will come down pipeline. It may not be called the R1X or R1S, but it willl surpass the MPs that the competition has.  Im thinking that this is Canon's year as 2023 was relatively quiet.  Thanks again.

Couldn’t agree more.  On all accounts.   

This “Ordinary Filmmaker” guy is a gigantic YouTube clickbaiting turd of a human who speaks out of his backside more than his mouth.  I wish they’d ban him.  

I also agree with you on the virtual impossibility of Canon making a high MP R1.  24mp may be inadequate and will definitely warrant an upgrade in the Mark II, but high-resolution machine - should they even try to make one - is surely gonna be reserved for the R5.  And with 45mp, I can’t see Canon in being in any rush to improve on it.
