Canon R1 vs Canon R5 Mark II: The Ultimate Battle

So the big question is: Canon R1 or Canon R5 Mark 2 camera – which camera will arrive early?

First, let’s discuss the available set of technology that Canon has right now. The Canon R5 has a 45-megapixel front-side illuminated dual pixel CMOS sensor. It is one of the highest resolution sensors known to us being used inside a Canon camera body. Unfortunately, the sensor is an FSI sensor, not a BSI.

The 24-megapixel stacked CMOS sensor of the Canon R3 professional flagship full-frame mirrorless camera is the most advanced sensor we have seen to date inside a Canon that uses stacked CMOS sensor technology.

If you look at the rumors in the past, it has been said that the upcoming Canon R1 camera may have a hybrid sensor that uses the resolution of the Canon R5 and the technology of the Canon R3 camera sensor.

So why is Canon so late? Nikon and Sony both announced their flagship cameras back in 2021. Nikon announced their Z9 and Sony announced their Sony Alpha A1 professional full-frame camera.

Now in 2023, we have the Nikon Z8 camera which features almost the same core specification as the Nikon Z9 at an affordable price tag. Similarly, Sony is preparing to announce the Sony A93 camera which will inherit almost the same core specification that we have seen in the Sony Alpha A1 flagship camera.

Now the big question arises: will Canon put its 45-megapixel CMOS sensor inside an R5 Mark 2 camera body and prepare to compete against the upcoming Sony A93 or the existing Nikon Z8 camera?

The second option for Canon is that they will move at their own pace and announce the Canon R1 camera before the 2024 Olympics. After a year of announcing the Canon R1, sometime in late 2025, we may have a Canon R5 Mark 2 camera with almost similar core specifications that we have seen in Canon R1.

The major issue among all these things is Canon’s slow speed of development and announcement of cameras.  They are not able to compete against market competitors Nikon and Sony. They are very late with their products, specifically their full-frame flagship cameras. Since they are late, they are lagging behind in competition and losing their consumer base who are attracted towards Sony and specifically Nikon for their products like Nikon Z8.

Based on the technical limits that we have discussed earlier and Canon’s development speed, we may expect the arrival of a Canon R1 camera with a redesigned and redeveloped 45-megapixel full-frame stacked CMOS sensor with dual DIGIC X image processors before the Olympics. Even if they wish to update the R5 Mark 2 camera between now and the Olympics, they may put subtle upgrades just to fill the gap with a new camera body.

So, at the end before we wrap up this article, it looks more reasonable to have a Canon R5 Mark II camera at the end of 2023, with a stacked CMOS sensor. And Canon R1 as expected will officially arrive sometime in Feb/March 2024.

Canon R5 Mark II Expected Core Specs

  • 45MP Full-Frame Stacked BSI CMOS Sensor
  • Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, Eye Control AF
  • Sensor-Shift 5-Axis Image Stabilization
  • 40 fps E. Shutter, 12 fps Mech. Shutter
  • 8K 60 Raw and 4K120 10-Bit Internal Video
  • 2″ 4.2m-Dot Vari-Angle Touchscreen LCD
  • 76m-Dot EVF with 120 fps Refresh Rate
  • Wired LAN and 5 GHz Wi-Fi Support
  • Multi-Function Shoe, Built-In Vert. Grip

These are the possible set of core specifications that we are expecting from the upcoming  Canon R5 camera.

Sigma to Announce Lenses for RF Mount [Rumor]

According to the latest rumors from the rumor mill, Sigma will announce two new RF-mount lenses.  Source of the rumor mill says Sigma’s RF-mount lenses may become available in the next 6 to 8 months. The source also claims there will be a mid-range large-aperture prime lens and a zoom lens. And So, the rumor mill speculates we may see a 50mm f/1.4 and a zoom lens and a 17-50mm F2.8 OS D (RF Version).

So this is not the first time. A few months ago, the rumor mill published that Meike was the first to make Canon RF mount autofocus lenses. This news first broke out in April 2023. But since April, we are still waiting and Meike has made no lens announcement. And even if Sigma announces RF-S Lens, then undoubtedly they will have, 18-50mm F2.8 and not 17-50 for sure.

Canon Working on 180° and 360° VR cameras

It’s really hard to see Canon catching up with the technology that already exists in this market. Finally, Canon is now capable of creating prototypes of 180-degree and 360-degree-based cameras, and the initial prototypes were displayed in Yokohama, Japan.

This is not the first time the world is witnessing a 360-degree or 180-degree-based camera. Just like they’ve joined the mirrorless race a bit late, in a similar fashion they are still working on the prototypes of 360-degree and 180-degree-based cameras.

Canon already has all the essential hardware that may be required to create this type of camera or maybe even better than the cameras we see right now from the GoPro Hero series or Insta360.

But its slow pace of product development cycle makes the entire range obsolete in 2023.

Confirmed: Canon R1 Has Canon R3 Eye Control AF System and more...

After the recent rumor of the Canon R1, we tried to double-check it with Nomen Nescio. The only thing he confirmed about the working prototypes of the Canon R1 camera is the use of a more advanced and precise Canon R3 iris tracking system.

The other thing he denied is the use of Canon Quadpixel CMOS AF sensors in Canon R1, the QPAF sensors are still in the lab. We do have prototypes that use QPAF sensors, but they’re not coming inside the Canon R1 body.

In the end, he just told us that the working prototypes of the Canon R1 camera he used were a fusion of the Canon R3 and Canon R5 cameras.

You can achieve 40 fps @ 45-50 megapixels. What more do you need from a flagship camera?

Stay tuned, we will bring more updates as soon as they become available to us

Canon R8 vs Fuji X-S20 – The 10 Main Differences

1. Sensor resolution and sensor size

The Canon R8 camera features the same sensor that we have seen in the R6 Mark II, the full-frame 24-megapixel Dual Pixel CMOS autofocus sensor of the 2nd generation. Inside the Fuji X-S20 camera, we have an APS-C sensor of 26 megapixels.

As usual, the larger pixels tend to capture more light than the smaller ones. We have a Fuji APS-C sensor with a denser megapixel network, and in Canon’s full-frame sensor, we have only 24 megapixels. But at the same time, we also have to consider that there is a technological difference. Fuji is using a BSI sensor and Canon is using an FSI CMOS sensor.

Fuji X-S20 vs Canon R10 – The 10 Main Differences

Model Name Canon R8 FUJIFILM X-S20
Sensor Resolution Effective: 24.2 Megapixel Effective: 26.1 Megapixel
Image Sensor 35.9 x 23.9 mm (Full-Frame) CMOS 23.5 x 15.6 mm (APS-C) CMOS
Image Stabilization None Sensor-Shift, 5-Axis
Built-In ND Filter None None
Capture Type Stills & Video Stills & Video

This technology difference may make an impact on image quality, but image quality can also be affected by the laws of physics.

36.00µm2 vs 14.12µm2   approx 154% larger pixel area

So the big question is whether the 26-megapixel sensor will perform better in low light due to the BSI sensor technology or if a full-frame sensor with a 24-megapixel resolution will perform better. Let’s find out in the test.

At ISO 25600, it is very clear that Canon R8 photos are preserving more detail compared to the Fuji X-S20. As you can see in the image, the color blocks are very well maintained and the details are preserved.

 

At ISO 51200, the Fuji X-S20 camera again fails to impress, with Canon R8 preserving more details even at higher ISOs compared to Fuji’s X-S20.

2. Sensor shift image stabilization

Fuji xs20 camera features a sensor-shift image stabilization system which is completely absent in Canon R8. One of the biggest advantages we have is the ability to use slower shutter speeds in low-light environments, resulting in better light efficiency, more light to the sensor, and hence cleaner images.

So in practical situations, if one knows how to use the image stabilization system properly in combination with the shutter speed of the camera, they may have better output than a full-frame camera without an image stabilization system.

 

3. AUTO FOCUSING SYSTEM

Canon R8 Fuji X-S20

Canon R8 AF Points on Sensor: 4897

Number of cross-type focus points: 1053 ( AF frame zones)

Class Leading AI AF technology coming straight out from Canon R3 AF system

MAX Brust speed 40 FPS @ full Res.  AI/AF support (JPEG only)

MAX Brust speed 30 FPS @ full Res.  AI/AF support (JPEG + cRAW)

Fuji X-20 AF points: 425 HYBRID

Uses the Same AI AF as of Fuji X-H2s Camera

Now in auto mode, the camera can detect and track drones and insects too.

MAX 30 FPS with 1.5x CROP AI/AF support

MAX 20 FPS @ Full Res. AI/AF support (RAW + JPEG)

From this specification analysis, it is obvious that the Canon R8 camera features an advanced autofocus system. For sports shooters or wildlife photographers, it is recommended to get the Canon R8 camera with lenses like 100-400 (Budget zoom). But if you are a daily life photographer, event shooter, wedding photographer, street shooter, portrait or fashion photographer, you will actually feel no issue while working with the autofocus system of the Fuji X-S20.

So for sports and wildlife photography, it is more recommended to get the Canon R8 camera, and for others, you can buy either of these two cameras.

4. Weather sealing in Canon

The Canon R8 camera is a weather-sealed camera, so it allows you to work in adverse situations where you may feel a bit worried about taking out your camera from your bag. But at the same time, the Fuji X-S20 is not weather-sealed, so you have to keep this in mind before buying either of these two cameras.

5. Double battery life of Fuji X-S20

With the Fuji X-S20 camera, you are getting approximately 750 shots per charge since, for the first time, they have used a professional-level battery in a mid-range APS-C series camera. However, you have to feel some limitations because the battery life of the Canon R8 camera is limited to 290 shots in a single charge. For those who mostly shoot outdoors, such as travel photographers, they must keep an extra battery pack for Canon cameras. The good thing is that both cameras allow you to charge via USB even when you are shooting

6. Open lens mount support:

The Fuji X-S20 camera has open lens mount support that Canon R8 doesn’t have. As a result, the availability of lenses in Fuji X mount is huge and at the same time, they are affordable when compared with Canon full-frame lenses that you have to buy with the Canon R8 camera.

So if you are interested in the Canon R8 camera, you have to keep an extra budget for collecting all the essential lenses for your camera. Otherwise, while working with variable aperture kit zoom lenses, you will never achieve the optimum image quality of the camera

So which camera you should buy as a photographer?

Yes, you can buy the Canon R8 camera in 2023, but you have to keep a few things in mind.

  • The camera does have a full-frame sensor, resulting in better low light performance. But at the same time, you have to mostly buy OIS lenses to have proper output since the camera body doesn’t have any sensor stabilization system.
  • The biggest issue that I see is the locked lens mount of Canon, so we have limited options at a higher price range. For lenses, you have to keep your budget at a different level so you can buy the set of lenses you actually require for your work.
  • And the biggest advantage that you will have in your hands after having the Canon R8 camera is a class-leading autofocus system directly coming from the Canon R3 flagship model. This not only helps for still shooting but also incredibly helps for capturing videos.

Should you buy the Canon R8 camera in 2023?

So if you would like to buy the Canon R8 camera, there are only two things that affect me before directly recommending it to you. The first thing is the locked lens mount and the other thing for a photographer is the lack of an IBIS mechanism. For this, you have to keep a bigger budget and for the lack of an IBIS mechanism, you have to follow some rules like the shutter speed rule that you should keep while using different focal length-based lenses. So you will manage to get some sharp output from this camera. Otherwise, it’s an excellent camera at this price range.

So we have already discussed the still part of both the camera now discuss the video part

7. Best Cameras for capturing videos – Canon R8 vs Fuji X-S20

The Fuji X-S20 camera offers 6K video recording in an open gate format. Now we all know that nowadays 3:2 format videos are not that usable. With the Fuji X-S20 camera, you are also able to record 5.2K videos in the 16:9 standard format. Fuji is the only camera that offers 5.2K video recording in this price range with full-time autofocus support from third-party lens makers.

So these two advantages are completely absent in the Canon R8 camera.

Now let’s talk about the common strength of both cameras in video mode. The Canon R8, as well as the Fuji X-S20, both allow you to record 4K videos up to 60 frames per second uncropped. You can record 4K 60 FPS video in 4:2:2, 10-bit format inside your camera. Both cameras offer you the use of their C-Log and F-Log modes to extract the maximum out from the video mode.

8. Dedicated VLOG Mode

Now let’s talk about a dedicated Vlog mode and more dial present on top of the camera. Fuji engineers worked hard to impress the new generation of content creators and for those, they have not only placed a dedicated Vlog menu on top of the camera but they have also designed a brand new user interface for content creators or those who are coming straight out from a smartphone.

In the new content creator menu, you will easily find the product showcase mode, face tracking priority mode and in different blocks of the content creator menu, it’s very easy to operate the camera and to switch to different modes which are not present right now in the Canon R8 camera.

9. IBIS for video and content creation

Finally, in video mode, we are also having the support of a mechanical image stabilization system in Fuji so that would be a great help when you are working and creating content or shooting cinematography with your camera. The IBIS mechanism will help you a lot in capturing stable footage from your camera.

Again, an open lens mount is one of the biggest factors to recommend Fuji over Canon right now. You have a huge range of lenses to select from which includes wide-angle lenses.

10. External fan

With the Fuji X-S20 camera, you get an option to add an external fan. So in case it overheats when you are shooting in the summer months of June and July, the external fan will double the shooting time length of your camera whether you are shooting in 4K or 5.2K. No such extension is available in the Canon R8 camera although we didn’t receive any major overheating issues related to it.

Let’s talk about which camera is best for videographers, cinematographers, and content creators. 

Best Camera For videographers and cinematographers,

Both cameras are highly usable. Specifically, if you are working in an uncontrolled light environment, then you might have the advantage of the Canon full-frame sensor. The camera is capable of recording 4K 60fps videos and due to the large pixels, you will have slightly better low-light performance when compared to the APS-C crop sensor of the Fuji camera.

However, there are two disadvantages.

  1. One is the absence of an image stabilization mechanism that restricts its handheld use while shooting videos.
  2. The second disadvantage for videographers is the absence of a proper lens range in your budget.

Why you should prefer the Fuji X-S20 over the Canon R8 for videography and cinematography?

  1. The big reason to buy the Fuji X-S20 camera is its ability to record 5.2K videos at 16:9 format at a rate of 30 frames per second.
  2. Despite having an APS-C CMOS sensor, the overall bitrate is 360 Mbps which is a bit more than Canon R8’s 340 Mbps. This directly means you are getting more color information resulting in enhanced video quality. The only disadvantage that we have discussed is that you may face some low light disadvantages due to the limited APS-C sensor size. But if you are shooting in low light, it’s recommended to use Fuji’s F-Log2 (claim to have 13 stops of DR) to extract the maximum quality possible from a given scene.
  3. The biggest known advantage while using the X-S20 camera is the availability of a huge range of lenses from third-party lens makers.
  4. presence of an image stabilization system that helps you get stable footage on the move and at the same time,
  5. the ability to add an external fan to double the recording time.

Best camera for content creators at this price range:

The Fuji X-S20 camera is the best camera we know for content creators at this specific price. Now, Fuji’s autofocus system is much improved and it features multiple autofocus modes for content creators. At the same time, we have a dedicated content creator menu that you can operate efficiently, and as usual, there is a range of lenses for you. More or less, the X-S20 has now become the best and most highly recommended camera for content creators.

Canon R1 Specification [Rumor]

The latest news about Canon R1 surfaces all over the web. Take a look at the important set of specifications coming out from the rumor mill.

Canon R3 Design

According to the sources of the rumor mill, Canon R1 will have a similar body design as the Canon EOS R3.

Large Display Unit of 4 inch?

There will be a large display panel on the backside of the camera, so rumors are expecting a four-inch display screen on a professional-grade photographer’s camera. Since for Cinematographers we already have a separate line of cameras.

45 Megapixel Resolution

The resolution of the camera is rumored to be around 45 megapixels, possibly the stacked version of the Canon R5 sensor.

Class Leading EVF

The viewfinder is said to be of the highest resolution in the Canon lineup, so we can expect a 9-megapixel viewfinder for the first time to be introduced inside Canon.

Global Shutter

Global Shutter is understandably far away for Canon, but yeah, the rumor mill is still speculating. So let’s hope we see at least technology similar to a global shutter or even a sensor with a fast readout speed that captures images without any significant rolling shutter effect.

Dual CFexpress card slots

The camera will have dual CFexpress card slots and one of the sources also said that at least one of the slots is Type-C. So it is kind of a mixed bag and we have to wait for more clarity

NEW Autofocus  System

Rumor Mill is speculating on the arrival of the QPAF AF system inside Canon R1.

Cinema EOS Video Features
