The latest set of rumors we have suggests that Canon is working on a high-resolution monster camera. Undoubtedly, the Canon R1 is not the flagship camera we should consider competing against the Nikon Z9 and the Sony Alpha A1. These words come from someone who knows what’s happening inside Canon.
It seems like a damage control act. People who were waiting for a perfect Nikon Z9 and Sony Alpha A1 competitor are slightly disappointed. They were expecting a higher-end flagship camera but instead got what feels like an R3 Mark II camera inside the Canon R1 body. Most of them were hugely disappointed and opted to buy the Canon R5 Mark II, which seems to be a more suitable option compared to the Canon R1, the so-called flagship from Canon.
Now, information is coming out from various sources that the new technical advisory team is actively working to create a true competitor to the existing flagship cameras. The name being suggested right now is the Canon R1 X, which is set to be a higher-resolution monster.
They are testing multiple high-resolution sensors that could create a significant impact and a big difference between the existing flagship cameras and the upcoming Canon R1 X camera. According to insiders, they are considering up to 80 MP resolution with 8K videography capability. While it is still under development, you can expect a range of resolutions somewhere between 50 to 80 MP for the upcoming camera.
The development announcement of the camera is expected sometime in June or July 2025, which is the earliest we are expecting right now if everything goes as per schedule.
We will post an update as soon as we get any information related to the upcoming Canon cameras and lenses.
