Canon R1 has been announced

[Kayaker72]

You get in tight enough, you can see the difference. But, really, it takes some effort.

I spent a day alternating between the R5 and R1 in January. I have a few different birds I could compare, but here are male and female cardinals. Same day, same lens (EF 500 f/4 II). Exported at full resolution, all are cropped at ~1/9th the frame.

I am happy with the R1 and really enjoy using it. The R5 is a great camera. I am headed out on a trip and packing the R5. Overall, this is a potent combination.

BTW, all are on the prop stick I have next to my feeder. ~27 ft/9 m distance.
