we're so excited!

Alpha 1 shooter here, I'm super stoked to see what Canon does with this camera!!! It's always a win for the industry and end user when companies innovate and advance the platform!

Yeah, this is Peter Mc Canon

Love my R5 and the results I get from it with the RF lenses and excited to see the „Flagship“ coming. We expect nothing less than the best of the best after waiting so long. Go Canon rule them all.❤

oh i hope so badly they make something insane haha i love competition cause that means we all get better cameras :D

INSTANTLY CLICKED! Pete, it's gonna be super nostalgic almost to see what you do with the R1 after vlogging for so long with the 1dx in the beginning! THE KING RETURNS

My fingers reach out so quickly, when your notification pops out 😂

It’s about time Canon !!! We’ve only been waiting for like 4 years

I've been shooting with my 5D Mk. II since 2012 and I've loved it ever since. I was about to drop $$$ on the R3, glad I waited.

Really appreciate you taking the time to unravel all that for us while you're obviously not feeling great. Thanks pete!

I pulled the Canon G10 out of the drawer a few months ago and hooooooooly it still holds up. Such a fun camera. Canon bring back the G series.

Earliest I’ve ever been to a video. And the fastest I think I’ve ever subconsciously done anything

So this was a video of Pete reading a press release? Not using the camera or going on some epic trip? 🤨

This R1 will be a huge throwback to Pete's 1DX II era

lol Canon when they need to hit the word count 😂😂😂

Our photography and videography Godfather 📸💙💙

ITs been FOREVER!!!! so amped for this and for you to create some WILD videos with it!

Phew, the pressure is on for the review, Pete. Will be awesome to see what imagery you make with it and your unbiased thoughts

"Canon has always been spot on with autofocus" - meanwhile my 70D...

I can’t wait to see more of the features!!! 🙌🔥🙌🔥🙌🔥

“If it’s not… yikes” that is the truth right there. This is gonna be a pivotal moment for Canon and I hope it delivers.

Thanks for saying the Canon needs to step up and deliver. If they don't, I think many people will move on finally

I don't think I have ever postet a comment on one of your videos, so I'm a bit sorry it has to be negative. When you use words like "the greatest camera of all time", "Quintessential golden child camera" you are really setting everybody up for a disappointment. What Canon need to deliver, is a reliable, futureproof workhorse, that Canon professional photographers can use five, six, seven years from now. It doesn't have to be much better than what is on the market today (from other manufactories), it just needs to be. It needs to be there, so Canon can say "we too have a rugged and dependable professional camera in our lineup, if you ever decide you need one". Glad you are excited. Hope you don't get disappointed.

let me understand, the announcement scheduled for today was to announce that a camera is in development... without release dates and with a lot of self-praise in the press release🤦🏼‍♂️

If canon would allow third party lens. I always loved how sigma lens on a canon made the photo look

This desk setup is fire!

Thanks for reading the press release 😆

As a Sony user this is still exciting! Keep competing and pushing!! 🤙

Facts! Canon is on the spot and delivering is key/pivotal

I’m still shooting with the R6 (not even mkII), but I’m so hyped for Canon bringing a new flagship to the market. And I would love for them to release some kind of camera to compete with the X100VI, I really don’t understand why they haven’t already. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the R1!

I’ve just recently started on a Canon 40D DLSR on my photography journey. It’s nice to see what’s down the line from Canon 👍

canon should redo the Canon P in digital or even as a new film camera again. i think many people would love it so much!!

A whole video just reading a press release.

Yay. I only just upgraded to R5. I found waiting 3 to 4 years is best for my finances and business longevity.

Beautiful vintage spring paintings! Awesome dear. Big like

Nice! New camera body season is here 🔥🔥

So sick 🔥 been waiting for this one forever!

Good to see Canon comes with flagship mirrorless camera. From Nikon shooter

Hope we see 45mpx. Would definitely be the sweet spot for photo and video 🙏🏻

No pressure Canon, but this outta be the "greatest camera of all time."

Hopefully they have some version of global shutter. That matched with Canon’s color science would be a beast!

Thank you and get better soon!

I LOVED my XT3 From Fuji when I switched from the 1DXii. The size and IQ was great but I wanted more MP and better video specs so I moved to the R5C and I don't think I could ask for a better camera system for shooting both stills and Video. Yes it's definitely much larger and lenses are larger but the image that comes out of the canon IMO I just love it. I'm SURE and I HOPE the R1 will be the end all be all camera for some people... I'm certainly happy with what I have but I'm really hoping Canon pushes the boundaries and really delivers a knock out in all aspects of photography and video.

Canon R1 - Cybertruck of Cameras

Nice! I haven't cared about new cameras in a long time, but this actually got me a bit excited. Let's see what the future holds for Canon.

Hopefully a camera with pro level dynamic range. Arguably the most important spec to get digital looking more like an analog format. Otherwise it will just look like another, well, digital camera.

@CanonUSA we need a camera the rivals the FX3. Lightweight compact and kicks a$$. Come on Canon were tired of seeing others surpass you. Give us what we neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed.

I own EOS R5 C, and it is amazing. One of the best cameras I ever owned. It doesn't have great battery life, but that's because it has a workstation-grade processor, actually based on Intel XEON, which made some Apple Mac Pro ridiculously expensive.

This really made me miss the good ol' days, Pete.

Always loved my M5. Wish we had similar full frame 32 mp. for RF lenses or even EF lenses.

Curious - whats the audio recording software you're using? (running in the background on your monitor)

I am a big fan and will always be ... but this has to be your most Seinfeldion upload ever.

hope it actually delivers. when r3 was pushed out, the very first firmware retains folder naming as r1, showing how arrogant cannon is now. many were drawn to nikon and sony by this kind of lazy corporate behaviour.

The fact that the body has a more modernized look from an aesthetic standpoint point gives me hope they are making some REAL changes.

My first real camera was a Sony cybershot and it was really so amazing. Perfect for the early 2000s and had a flash built in and the lens cover built in with power zoom. Really amazing how far we've come and at the same time how we are still in the same area lol

Can’t wait to have my R1 - R5 II combo for motorsports But also I truly need a G7X update. Such a great camera for friends/family trips

It just told us we already know, and did not tell us anything we want know. Nothing more! Canon, show me the camera!

That auto focus priority mode sounds hella like a feature that would be pay to unlock. Or at least the advance predictive movement side of it.

A development announcement is not the same as a product announcement

Such a great video! I’m so hyped!!!!

Hi is it ok to store the camera with a small 24-120 lens attached to it? Thanks😀

Was watching a video on the R1 and was hoping Peter would make one asap

I'd love to see you and Jared polin collab with sports photography when this camera hits the hands

I saw the canon post, came here, didn’t even have to hit search…. MCKINNON ON IT

Canon is going to have it tough. They've always been playing catch up with the rest of the market since the start of the mirrorless revolution and they're still years behind delivering what other manufacturers are making. It's why I had to switch cameras to stay competitive. It's not that Canon makes bad products. They're just not innovating. Nor are they making cameras that work for me any longer. I hope they do come out with compact full frame cameras and I hope they cram them so full of incredible features that can deliver fantastic results and that outperform what's currently on the market.

Ready for the unveil. Also nice Golden Child ref.😆

This one won't have global shutter, but what they described, doesn't sound like anything Sony or other brands haven't done before. So we'll see!

“If it’s not….pffftss…yieks!” 😂😂💀

this new model better be flagship for Peter McKinnon's case at the very least 🤔

Nothing less exciting than the announcement of a product nobody can afford.

I am pretty sure most of us wouldn't even notice or care about whether you shot with RP or R1 especially on IG. That being said, this is going to be a great camera no doubt.

The last time I use Canon is when I print a letter head so that it will look nice 😅

I'm still rockin' the EOS R. But I only use it for recording KZfaq videos.

Get well soon Legend.. Big Love

Before any more models come out, Canon NEEDS third party autofocus lenses.

I remember watching Peter a few years ago talking about when the R1 would come out. So nostalgic.

I can hear your cold! Get well. I've always been a Canon user. Probably lenses kept me there.

I’ve been screaming about a Canon rangefinder for a year! I’d love to see a Canon P mirrorless. Hopefully, though, this will lower the price a bit for the R3. FYI, this is why I’m a Canon shareholder., we’re privy to a few things most are not. Keep it up! 🤙🏻

Love the cold, been there the last two weeks as well 😂 I don't even shoot Canon and now I'm excited to see which envelope is about to get pushed!

If canon made a modern day version of the P, Fuji would be in big trouble...

So you got paid just to read the Canon press release in this video !!!!

IT"S HERE!! OMG

The number 1 thing that will make the R1 a game changer is a global shutter.

A C70 mark is needs dual base ISO, non "plasticy" body, no record limit, good codecs, and rigging options in a small form factor with electronic shockless ND.

I'd be interested to see what the ¹ footnote to "Dramatically improve" was 😅

I switched away from canon 3 years ago and even I’m excited hear what this will look like.

Meanwhile i’ve just bought a 5D mkiii here in Brazil 🇧🇷(for professional photo and video use, paid around US$700, and i considered it “cheap”)

I miss the days where you would just randomly show up at canon to pick up new products to test out!

Canon needs to make a retro style body... an RF mount camera with an AE-1 shell.

My pictures will be more picture-y than ever!

It is funny to bring up the G series of Canon. I have a Nikon Z9 and it is a beast of a camera. But for fun I have gone back to a G7X MK 2. I just wish it shot 4K video. The auto focus is actually quite good. I heard the G7X MK3 struggled in that category. If you limited the wide end to about 35 mm, you do not get the wonky corners in the image.

This is way beyond my needs (and budget) but I'm glad it finally exists

I’m super excited to see what Canon is bringing to the table! Tangentially, the Western Hydrodynamic Research long sleeve readily caught my attention, is there anywhere you can see the research projects they’re helping fund?

Look at that 👀

Yes, can't wait to use Sigma glass on this bad boy....oh wait. 🤔

G9X mk III please. cigarette box size with improvements in all areas. f1.8. 5x zoom. weather sealing. something that really gives phone cameras a run for their money with superior optics.

I got tired of waiting and bought a Nikon Z8. I'm never going back to Canon.

If canon can make a Nikon z8 in a budget then only they will revolutionalise it up

Here's to getting into debt for another camera and photography gear🥂

i'm still shooting the trusty 5D MK IV until it falls apart so i have a good excuse to finally switch to the R-range with a valid excuse. i hope that when it fails me permanently, canon has upgraded their line-up to be top notch in the field of mirrorless cameras. I have a feeling that it will only get more insane with future releases.
