R1, general thoughts and updated info.

Well Adorama accidentally leaked the R1 specs. Gist of it was 30mp, 240fps and a dual sensitivity sensor similar to their cinema products which promises 16 stops of dynamic range.

Which slightly makes up for the not surprising 30mp sensor. But with so much horse power. I'd much rather see 45mp sensor to shoot 8k and just have more cropping ability or high resolution for my 42" printer.

But, I'm gonna reserve full judgement on the body till it is out. I am considering buying it. But it really has to impress to make up for lack of resolution. Else the R5 II seems like the obvious choice for anyone other than extreme speed junkies.

Seems that was bogus, as it was a straight copy-paste from a Canon Rumors spec list (and I really doubt Canon would ever claim something like 'Better dynamic range than the EOS R3 and EOS R5' in a spec list). Current rumor is a 24 MP sensor with a faster readout speed than the R3, with an AF system that can detect horizontal lines. Plus the 'Action Priority AF' that Canon mentioned in the development announcement.

If that's the case it is all bogus.

Canon rumors is just a gag site full of speculation under the pretense of having some kind of inside connections. Unless it comes from Canon or some kind of known source. (Which we would all be able to reference). Everything else is just them making up stuff out of thin air.

I would have thought Adorama be more reliable than that to just quote known baseless rumors.

But I agree with your sentiment of the verbiage. I only briefly looked at it once and going off memory.
