It has all these excellent features, but does it have one of the most simple features that has been found on even cheap cameras from other brands for over a decade (that has been missing from most Canon cameras)? That is, can you keep the horizon level on during recording video? It may seem silly, but this one feature will decide whether I purchase one or not. I know it has some self-leveling IBIS thing, but that isn't what I'm asking. I just want to be able to make the camera level myself, because I can see the level on the screen. Any clue if it can do that?

The AF on this BSI stacked sensor is ultimately insane !

What’s the flash synch speed? Why do you not use the grip when shooting in portrait mode?

Canon shooter here. I currently use the Canon R3. I will be upgrading to the Canon R1 and will also purchase a Canon R5 MkII. My Canon R3 is a true beast, and I shoot sports on a regular basis. With that being said, I love my Canon R3 but will be purchasing, as I said before, the Canon R1. Some people are saying that there will not be a continuation of the Canon R3. I can believe this. And here's my reasoning why. A part of me wants to think that the Canon R3 was a phenomenal TEST BED because a lot of the features that are in the R3 have shown up in the R5 MkII. And by them doing this, it just proves that if they wanted to, they could have put more resolution and a bigger sensor into the Canon R1. Because when you think about it, the R5 Mark II has a 45 megapixel sensor with a lot of the specs that are in the R3 and a few that are also in the R1. Just think about that for a moment and marinate on that, and let me know what your thoughts are, if any, from anybody who reads this. In closing, I will say this. Possibly, in four more years, when the Canon R1 MkII arrives, don't be surprised if it has possibly a 33 or 36 or even 40 megapixel sensor. And honestly, it doesn't even need a global shutter.

How do you claim it is high in reliability when it has just been announced?

i'm selling my house for this camera. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

What Canon been doing the last two and a half years, sleeping! 24 megapixels is ridiculous for a camera like this as the competitor the Nikon Z9 has nearly 50!
I just really wonder why Canon has been stuck on this number for 10 years. There's more to megapixels than just the number but this number really limits a professional photographer's imaging and printing options.

To me this is more an R3 mark II rather than an R1 flagship camera. Sorry Canon, but I don't see the use case for upgrading from R3 to R1. Yes, the new features are great, but they are only nice to have to me as a professional sports photographer.

NOPE...Sticking with the 1DXMK3...the R3 wasn't enough and neither is this R3 MK 2 😉
