At your side, helping you shoot the best work of your creative career
A back-illuminated CMOS sensor that delivers superb performance in low-light and ultrafast read-out speeds, virtually eliminating rolling-shutter distortion.
Since 1989, Canon EOS-1 series cameras have led the way for professional sports, news and action photographers. As the result of 35 years of evolution the EOS R1 looks to the future as our flagship EOS camera.
With Action Priority mode that automatically determines the subject in football, volleyball and basketball.
Our Dual Pixel Intelligent AF is sensitive to horizontal and vertical lines for greater precision.
Truly incredible, low-light performance, with enough speed to virtually eliminate rolling shutter.
Press the shutter release while shooting Full HD video to capture a burst of jpeg images at the same time.
Canon’s deep-learning technology allows images from the high sensitivity sensor to be enlarged faithfully and accurately by up to four times, up to 96 megapixels.
With Pre-continuous shooting to capture moments that happened before you pressed the button – even when shooting RAW
Focus in conditions as dark as -7.5 EV – roughly the brightness of the aurora borealis – locking on with precision and accuracy.
Capture 6K RAW video up to 60p, 4K up to 120p and 2K up to 240p, all from the full width of the full-frame sensor.
Our best-connected camera yet? Many options including Wi-Fi 6E and 2.5G BASE-T ethernet ensure your images reach your client first.

The EOS R1 harnesses the power of deep-learning to identify subjects, while its DIGIC Accelerator processor tracks and captures them more accurately than ever. Action Priority mode can even identify the subject based on the action, helping you predict what is coming next.
“The autofocus capabilities… the speed of it is amazing.”
The EOS R1’s AF system can recognise and automatically distinguish different subjects and track them even if they are briefly obscured from view or small in the frame.
Recognises faces and heads, even when the subject is wearing a helmet or mask.
EOS R1 instantly locks onto a subjects’ eyes if they are visible.
People are tracked by their whole body, or just the upper portion of it.
Action Priority determines what’s happening in football, volleyball and basketball, and moves the active AF point.
EOS R1 recognises other subjects too, helping you get pin-sharp results.
EOS R1 has Cross-type AF that is sensitive to horizontal and vertical detail. This gives more sensitivity and precision, especially in low light and low-contrast conditions.
A new 24-megapixel sensor delivers incredible results. A lightning-fast, stacked CMOS design is sensitive in low light. A low-pass filter with 16 point separation reduces moiré and false colour while still capturing very detailed resolution.
Designed for professional hybrid shooters covering events. With the EOS R1’s Dual Shooting function switched on, a press of the shutter-release button while shooting Full HD video captures 5616x3168 pixel (17MP) JPG photos at up to 10fps using the same shutter speed – all without interrupting video capture.
Freeze fleeting moments in time like never before: 40 frames per second continuous shooting pairs with a lightning-fast 1/64,000 sec electronic shutter and minimal rolling shutter distortion for incredible results.
Half press the shutter release button to begin continuously buffering 20 frames. At the moment you take the shot, these ‘pre-captured’ frames are stored too. At EOS R1’s maximum 40fps shooting speed, this means you’ll record the half-second before you pressed the shutter release. At slower shooting speeds, the pre-capture time gets longer, giving you even more flexibility.
“It allows you once you half press the shutter to roll and not miss those late moments. Just saves the day”
Find exquisite detail in the closest of crops. Enlarge images by up to four times in-camera, producing gallery-ready photos at up to 96-megapixels, which look sensational.
Be the first to get your images and video back to the client. The EOS R1 boasts more ways to get connected and the speed you need to hit your goal of the top spot on the page.
EOS R1 offers extremely stable wireless connections, thanks to Wi-Fi 6E (region dependent) and built in MIMO antennas.
Position the EOS R1 to get the viewpoint you’re after, then control it remotely from your smart device, connected wireless or via USB.
The professional video features of the EOS R1 make this a superb option for hybrid shooters and filmmakers. Tackle interviews, run-and-gun documentaries and short films, capturing exquisite 6K footage using the full width of the camera’s sensor.
Invest in a EOS R1 and you’re getting more than a digital camera. You’re buying an ever-growing, state-of-the-art imaging system that’s designed for uncompromising performance and super image quality
