EOS R1

The Canon EOS R1 is Canon's first full-frame flagship mirrorless — the successor to the EOS-1D X Mark III and the pinnacle of the RF system. A 24.2MP stacked CMOS sensor enables 40fps burst, a global-shutter-like rolling shutter performance, and Canon's most advanced AI-based subject detection ever. Built for professionals who cannot miss a shot.
