Competition news: Canon announced the new flagship R1 model and the R5II

Canon announced their new R1 flagship model. The big surprise is that this “flagship” model does not compete with the Nikon Z9 and Sony A1.This left me wondering if they will ever release a High Reoslution and High Speed model.

The R1 has a 24MP sensor and looks more like an updated Canon R3, which is rather disappointing. I’m honest enough to praise the competition, like Nikon, when they announce amazing models. But the R1 is not really what I was hoping to see. It certainly is a solid camera for sports photographers that differs from the Sony A9III in handling where the Canon clearly has the edge. But when it comes to specs it’s not really dethroning the Sony A9III: you can see a full specs comparison of the R1 and the Sony A9III on this BHphoto page.

Now, check out those two reviews to make up your mind and tell me if you agree with me or not. Maybe there is something I am missing here?

UPDATE: The now famous Trump Bullet shot was taken with the Sony A1 and 24mm f/1.4 GM

This image was taken by Doug Mills from the “New York Times”. UPDATE: Other outlets previously guessed the shot was taken with the A9III. But Doug MIlls now clarified what gear he used by sharing the EXIF data: Sony A1 and the 24mm f/1.4 GM lens (the image has been cropped in post to get a closer view of the bullet).

Sony seems to have won over quite a big portion of photographers in the news business realm. And it’s also interesting to see how many Sony cameras were used during the Trump event.
