The Dual Pixel CMOS AF II system with eye-control AF allows photographers to select focus points by looking at them through the EVF. 30fps electronic shutter with full AF/AE. Deep learning subject detection for people, animals, and motorsports. Exceptional low-light AF.
Magnesium alloy body with integrated vertical grip and full weather sealing. Dual CFexpress Type B card slots. 5.76M-dot EVF at 120fps. 6K RAW and 4K 120p video. Built-in WiFi 6 and GPS. 1015g body only. 500,000-cycle shutter.
Available used at professional prices. The stacked sensor and eye-control AF are genuine innovations. The R1 supersedes it as Canon's ultimate flagship. For working sports photographers, this remains one of the best action cameras available on any system.
