Canon's new flagship camera is finally on sale, four months after it was announced. And, with the camera in my hands again this week, my feelings are the same as that day in July when I first used it: the Canon EOS R1 is simply a cheat code for photography.
The first time I shot with the R1 was at BMW Park, home of the storied Bayern Munich basketball team. I'd been sitting in a presentation where Canon specialists were telling me how clever the camera's autofocus was, lightyears ahead of the mighty Canon EOS R5.
