Canon R1 has been announced

[Kayaker72]

My R1 successfully arrived on Friday. I was on a plane back from Europe. My wife was at work. We had numerous notes on our front door, even inside the window to the side of the front door so they could tell it was us leaving the notes.

In the end, the box with the R1 was left by our garage. Entirely possible FedEx never saw the notes as they would have had to walk around the corner. IDK. But, it is funny to me.

But, initial impressions are very positive, very fast, AF very confident, etc. My first "1" series camera. I had borrowed the 1Dx and 1Dx III before. But this is the first I have owned. I'll be running some tests/playing with it soon. I am mostly curious about resolution, AF speed/hit rate, and a few new features like pre-capture. What I can say is that it is by far the most programable camera I have seen. As a quick example, but in changing hte "*" button to be a second backfocus button, that was easy, move it over to "Metering and AF Start". But then hit the info button and you can customize 11 features, turning them on/off with a check mark, but then you a press on each of those features to customize them. Yeah...3 layers of customization. It's like I'll have to know what I am doing to use this camera. Busy day yesterday, but I still managed a few shots around the house.

I will say, I have noticed a slight greenish cast. But that could be the camera or how LR wants to deal with the R1 files this early on. I have adjusted the calibration of these a bit to compensate.
