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
Team of Cinema EOS working on R1 to develop its high-grade video feature
Canon R1 Arrival Date
Paris Olympic games begin in July of next year
Take it with a grain of salt, since these are not confirmed sets of specs coming out from reliable sources.

Take a look at the set of information we have related to the upcoming Sony a600 camera
- The new updates include that the A6700 camera sensor doesn’t have DRAM. This is quite obvious since the upcoming Sony A6700 camera is rumored to use the same sensor that we have seen in the Sony FX30 camera and the sensor of FX30 is not a stacked CMOS sensor. Only a stacked CMOS sensor uses a DRAM chip alongside the sensor to speed up the processing speed.
- The second piece of information we are getting from a different source of the rumor mill is that the Sony A6700 camera matches the size of the Sony A7C, approximately 4mm higher and 3mm longer, excluding the grip.
- The third and most important information is that the camera is coming on July 12th alongside a 70-200mm lens. So that’s really very interesting news that not only will there be a camera, but we will also have a brand new G Master telephoto zoom lens from Sony
Sony A6700 Expected Core Specification
- 26.1MP APS-C BSI CMOS Sensor
- BIONZ XR & AI Processing Unit
- AI-Based Real-Time Tracking AF System
- UHD 4K up to 60p (uncropped)
- S-Cinetone
- S-Log3, 4:2:2 10 Bit internal
- 5-Axis Image Stabilization
- updated Quad-VGA OLED Tru-Finder EVF 3.69m-dot resolution for bright, clear viewing in high detail
If you’re new here, let me clarify that we published the rumored set of specifications for the upcoming Sony camera back in April 2023 and the rumored set of specs now seems to be 100% true. You can look at it again here. But the big question raised is whether the Fuji XS20 camera has killed the APS-C camera competition by including 6K open gate recording and 5.2K recording at 16:9 standard format in a mid-range APS-C camera body.
Now, as we all know, the Sony A6700 camera is rumored to use the same 26 MP BSI CMOS sensor. Yes, the only difference is that the Sony sensors are Bayer pattern-based and Fuji’s are X-Trans pattern-based, but both are 26 MP BSI CMOS sensors.
Fuji X-S20 vs Canon R10 – The 10 Main Differences
Fuji X-S20, Sony’s A6700 biggest fear?
The Fuji XS20 camera raised the competition bar to the next level. The camera is able to record 6K and 5.2K, but will the upcoming A6700 camera remain limited to 4K 60p recording (according to the rumors we have from rumor mills) or will it feature 6.2K open gate and 5.2K 16:9 format recording to compete against the Fuji XS20?
Fuji already included Sony’s most popular log camera menu in their camera system that includes product showcase mode and face tracking mode simplified in a content creator menu inside the XS20 camera. If Sony fails to achieve the video resolution that the XS20 camera already offers, it will be a big failure for Sony and it may lose a new consumer base since even Fuji has an open lens mount and advanced autofocus system inside XS20.

Let’s compare the body design of both cameras. Both are very well built and made for professional shooters with a very deep hand grip and EVF. They are paired up with a variable-angle display screen to give you compositional freedom. Whether you are a photographer or a content creator, you will love the camera’s design.
1. EXTERNAL FAN
The additional advantage we have with the Fuji X-S20 camera is the ability to add an external fan in case of overheating. The external fan will lower the temperature and allow you to record more than double the available recording time.
 With the Fuji X-S20 camera, we are getting dual 3.5 mm ports; one is for headphones and the other is for a microphone. The microphone port can also be used as a remote shutter port.
2. EXTENDED BATTERY LIFE
We should discuss this in the design part. We have a larger battery in the Fuji X-S20 camera. The battery allows you to capture approximately 700-800 Liveview shots in a single charge, which is double when compared to the battery life of the Canon R10 camera.
3. VLOG MODE
In vlog mode, we have a dedicated vlog mode in the camera. When you switch the mode dial button to vlog, a new content creator menu pops up. In the content creator menu, you will see 6 different blocks with different modes, including product showcase mode and face tracking priority mode made only for content creators. No content creator or cinematic menu is present in Canon R10.
Let’s talk about the internal core specification of the camera
4. SENSOR
Sensor: The Fujifilm X-S20 camera features Fuji’s popular 26-megapixel sensor. The sensor is a BSI CMOS sensor, not an FSI CMOS sensor like that of Canon R10. So while having a BSI CMOS sensor, we do expect better low-light performance with the Fujifilm X-S20 camera.
Let’s have a look at a quick high ISO test between the two. A sample captured at ISO 25600 of a Canon R10 and Fuji X-S20 camera clearly shows the advantage of having a BSI CMOS sensor while capturing images in low light.
From the high ISO test, it is very clear that Canon is not able to preserve the color details at high ISO range when compared to a Fuji sensor.
The next is autofocusing performance. Both Fuji and Canon are using their latest generation of image processors
5. IMAGE STABILIZATION
In the Fujifilm X-S20 camera, we are getting sensor-shift image stabilization system up to seven stops. Not only that, for the first time in a Fuji camera, we have a dedicated menu to adjust the image stabilization setting according to our needs. No sensor-shift image stabilization system is present in the Canon R10 camera
6. BURST MODE
The next visible difference between these two cameras is the burst speed or the continuous shooting speed. With the Canon R10 camera and its 24-megapixel resolution, you can achieve a burst speed of up to 24 frames per second. With the Fujifilm X-S20 camera, the maximum burst speed available is 30 frames per second with crop and without crop at full resolution up to 20 frames per second.
While using the mechanical shutter, the Canon R10 allows you to capture 12 frames per second and the Fuji X-S20 camera allows you to capture 8 frames per second.
Buffer memory of Fuji X-S20 camera is more compared to Canon R10, its clearly visible in the table below.
| |
Fuji X-S20 |
Canon R10 |
| 10 FPS |
1000+ JPG — 341 RAW |
|
| 15 FPS |
|
460 JPG — 29 RAW |
| 20 FPS |
256 JPG — 79 RAW |
|
| 23 FPS |
|
70 JPG — 21 RAW |
| 30 FPS (1.25x crop) |
407 JPG — 88 RAW |
|
7. AUTO-FOCUSING SYSTEM
Canon R10 arrives with its popular second-generation dual pixel CMOS autofocusing sensor and more than 5000 autofocusing points fabricated inside the sensor. Furthermore, the camera uses 3700 DPAF points while recording video. To simplify it for its users, Canon grouped the points into 651 autofocusing zones.
Now, the Fujifilm X-S20 camera may not be able to match the number of DPAF points, but for the first time, it uses the most advanced artificial intelligence tracking system available inside Fuji. Fujifilm engineers directly used the artificial intelligence AI algorithm of the Fuji X-H2S camera in the Fuji X-S20. This AI enhances the overall performance of the camera and now the camera is even able to track moving drones and insects without an issue. The X-S20 now also features product showcase mode and face AF tracking priority mode.
So more or less both of these cameras have their own advantages and disadvantages when it comes to autofocusing performance.
8. VIDEO
The Fujifilm X-S20 camera is able to shoot 6.2K open gate in 3:2 format at the rate of 30 frames per second. So that’s the maximum resolution available in the Fujifilm X-S20. Now when you want to record in a standard format, that is in 16:9, the resolution drops to 5.2K. So that’s the maximum standard resolution available inside the Fujifilm X-S20 camera. None of these high-resolution modes are available in Canon R10.
The Fuji X-S20 camera is able to record uncropped 4K 60p video as well as full HD videos at the rate of 240 frames per second. Canon R10 fails to impress us as we have to face a 1.6x crop while recording 4K 60 frames of video. At the same time, only a 120 frames per second option is available at full HD format inside Canon R10.
And the biggest difference that will shock you is that no C-Log format is available. Yes, you are able to record 10-bit only in HDR PQ mode in Canon R10, whereas in the Fujifilm X-S20 cameras F-Log and F-Log 2 are both available. In F-Log 2 curve, you are able to extract 13+ stops of dynamic range and at the same time, a 12-bit raw output is available via the HDMI port.
For content creators, we have a dedicated content creator menu and again dedicated autofocusing modes. Not only that but the advanced cinematography and content creation are being backed by the sensor-shift image stabilization of the camera.
For super cinematographers, content creators, and wedding videographers, the Fuji X-S20 camera is the best choice.
So for cinematographers containing creators and wedding video graphs for Fuji x as 20 cameras is the best choice
9. LENSES
Fujifilm X-mount is an open mount and we have a huge range of lenses available and more are coming. At the same time, the Canon RF mount is a locked mount and has a very limited range of lenses available for the APS-C range. If you move towards the DSLR lenses, then you have to be very careful while picking them up since the lenses with STM motors are fully compatible and the older lenses with USM motors will create noise, and not all of them are optimized for dual pixel CMOS autofocusing sensor
10. PRICE DIFFERENCE
We do have a good price difference between these two cameras. If you are on a very tight budget and not able to spend extra on lenses, then you may stay with the Canon R10 camera. But if your budget allows, I highly recommend you to get the Fujifilm X-S20
