Who the Canon EOS R1 is for

The Canon EOS R1 is a 24.2MP full-frame mirrorless camera, geared toward fast action and wildlife.

  • Canon's flagship full-frame mirrorless, built for sports and news with a 24MP stacked sensor.
  • Cross-type Dual Pixel AF with Eye Control and action-priority recognition at up to 40 fps.
  • 6K RAW video, dual processors and pro-grade weather sealing for sustained performance.

Best for

  • Action, sports and wildlife — 40fps burst with subject-detection AF.
  • Video and filmmaking — 4K up to 120p, 10-bit internal and Log.
  • Vlogging and handheld video — flip-out screen and a mic input.
  • Travel and the outdoors — in-body stabilisation plus weather sealing.

What Full-Frame means in practice

A full-frame sensor at 24.2MP gives the shallowest depth of field of the three formats at any given framing and aperture, and the most sensor area to gather light with. That is the physical reason full-frame bodies tend to be the larger and heavier option: the lenses that cover the format have to be bigger too.

Video, stabilisation and weather sealing

4K runs to 120p, which is enough for 4× slow motion at a 24p or 25p timeline. 10-bit recording internally means colour survives grading rather than banding when pushed. A log profile is available, which trades a flat-looking file for latitude in post.

In-body stabilisation steadies any lens mounted on it, including primes with no stabilisation of their own. The body is weather-sealed.
