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!

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.❤

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

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

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

Yeah, this is Peter Mc Canon

Beautiful vintage spring paintings! Awesome dear. Big like

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

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

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.

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

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

Our photography and videography Godfather 📸💙💙

This desk setup is fire!

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.

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!

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

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

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 👍

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

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! 🤙🏻

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.

Nice! New camera body season is here 🔥🔥

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

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.

Thank you and get better soon!

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

So sick 🔥 been waiting for this one forever!

Get well soon Legend.. Big Love

great video! you're right about a small range finder, if canon makes a retro camera I'd buy it, maybe a r version of the m6mk2, nice small and compact

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

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!

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

Such a great video! I’m so hyped!!!!

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

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

IT"S HERE!! OMG

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

I was just about to get the R8 this friday and they drop the R1 come on Canon!

“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.

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

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

The long awaited, finally!

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

Pete setting the bar so high sheeeeeeeesh!~

midnight for you mid afternoon for me in Australia, which meant I could watch your video on this exciting news

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

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.

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

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!!

Dude! I was in Paris! Didn't care that much about Taylor being there. But would have been stoked to see you wandering around!

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🤦🏼‍♂️

Would love to see a r6 II or slightly better in a retro AE-1 body of sorts ... and i am also stocked to see the R1 entering the shop where i work :D

Epic content & Bucket shot mix well together 😏

i am up on midnight too as well.

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

Literally just last night I got back to looking at cameras for the first time in 3 years, and today the announcement!

Yeah! Awesome! Thanks Peter!

I’m super excited to see this camera

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.

Would love to see an update to their cine lineup!

remember the 1DX vloggin time 😅🤣🤣🤣are we going to see that time back but with the R1

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

This is going to be the best of the best of the best!

Great Video!! can't wait to see what's new !!

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?

Thanks for reading the press release 😆

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

Canon, you have to deliver.

RF cine glass would be dope too!

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.

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

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!

@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.

Peter I want them to put a R6C and R5Cii in your hands 🥳 You always sell

Y'all doing bunk bed setups over there now?? Super dig.

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

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

Man i hope i get my hands on some of these some day

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.

bring back the canonet QL rangefinder series love my QL 25. put a r6 or r5 sensor and a fixed 40mm lens or Rf Mount with ibis EZ sale

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

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

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

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.

Dope! Hope it does not over heat and to big.

Gonna get some bangers….

I just got my R8. Like 2 hours ago lol. So I'm only here to support your video haha.

I just bought an R3 last damn week!! literally last Thursday!!!

Just when the notification pops up I go Damnnnnnnnnn THE R1 is coming 🔥🔥🔥🔥

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

Range finder style canon ❤

So we still don’t have actual specs. But it is interesting that they went the co-processing route instead of a new digi-11 or whatever. I assume this co-processor is the AI bit they want to sell on a subscription basis?
