OFFICIAL! Canon confirms the EOS R1 will be the “most premium model”
Canon has officially confirmed that the Canon EOS R1 is in development – and that it “will be our most premium model.”
The news comes as little surprise, as it has been rumored virtually since the launch of the original Canon EOS R (opens in new tab) that an EOS R1 was on the way. However, this statement is the first time that Canon has said, on the record, that the R1 is being developed.
It also confirms that, in the manufacturer’s mind, the Canon EOS R3 (opens in new tab) can lay effective claim to the title of ‘flagship camera’ for the moment, given that it supersedes the previous flagship, the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III (opens in new tab).
