According to the business, the full-frame mirrorless camera will have a new CMOS sensor and image processing technology.
Following years of speculation, Canon has now revealed that the company is working on a flagship EOS R1 camera for its EOS family of cameras. Although Canon has not yet disclosed all of the information regarding the full-frame mirrorless camera, the company has provided just enough information to whet your appetite for it. The camera is expected to be released later this year. When it comes to the EOS R1, there is currently no indication as to how much it will cost; nonetheless, it is possible that you may need to dig deep into your wallet for this one.
According to the business, the professional-grade camera will be equipped with an RF mount and will provide enhanced performance in both video and still photography in comparison to the EOS R3. It will have an improved image processing system that combines a brand new CMOS sensor, a brand new image processor known as Digic Accelerator, and the Digic X processor that is already in place.
Canon claims that the technology will be able to process a huge amount of data at a quick speed and will also be able to deliver breakthroughs in auto focus and other areas. After combining the capabilities of the image processing system with its deep-learning technology, the company asserts that it has been able to achieve “high-speed and high-accuracy subject recognition.”
Action Priority is a feature that is powered by this, and it has the ability to recognize a person carrying a specific action in a sports game (such shooting a ball), and then select that player as the primary subject for a shot. In order to ensure that the photographer does not miss out on capturing important moments from a game, the system would be able to rapidly change the auto focus frame in the direction of the person being photographed.
Even if they are temporarily out of sight, Canon claims that the EOS R1 is able to keep track of athletes while they are competing in athletic events. Given the emphasis placed on athletics in the first announcement, it is possible that the camera will be put to the test at the Olympic Games that will be held in Paris this summer.
Furthermore, Canon has announced that it would be incorporating the image noise reduction capability that was previously developed for personal computer software straight into the camera. It appears that this further enhances image quality and has the potential to assist users in accomplishing their creative objectives.
