Pros: Automatic recognition of subjects; Very fast, consistent and reliable AF; Canon BSI back-illuminated sensor stacked 45mpx with excellent dynamic range, really very effective, even with the electronic shutter and raw always at 14bit; Full raw at 14bit in all shutter modes and with any shutter speed up to 30fps with reduced rolling shutter (fundamental in decisive dynamic scenes with people, animals, objects and vertical lines in the background during bursts with very fast horizontal panning to avoid distorted / abblique images and therefore unusable, this thanks to the stacked sensor with Read Out of 6.3ms (you can do more, I hope the next one will be a new stacked even faster, let's say under 3ms from 45mpx, the R1 has the fastest stacked sensor on the market from 2.7ms not by chance); New updated and more functional version of the pre-shot in full raw, now more customizable according to the various needs in the field, in my opinion the best and most mature pre-shot with the possibility of very finely adjusting the number of raw from 1 to 15 of pre-shoot, combined with the function for limiting the total number of shots per single burst from 1 to 99. Booster burst function with which by pressing a custom button (even on lenses such as the RF200-800) you instantly switch - even when burst has already started and is in progress, for example, from 10fps to 30fps; Large, bright, defined and blackout-free OLED viewfinder; Large, bright and defined LCD; Ergonomic buttons and dials; Quality of materials; Compatibility and functionality even with third-party flashes, such as my Godox 860IIIC with the electronic shutter; Image quality and colors at the top; Reliability and consistency in results in all conditions; Suitable for very demanding professionals and amateurs.
Cons: In my opinion, it is possible to further improve the resistance to high ISO even if, with modern noise reduction software, it is easily solved.
Opinion: The best performing ML so far owned or tested by me. I think it has a remarkable and reliable autofocus combined with the best automatic recognition of subjects, especially with very fast dynamic subjects such as birds in flight regardless of backgrounds and obstacles, in sports and motorsport, from what I see every day in the field, among the bigmpx, it is certainly at the current top, even for the video part. I recommend it to those who want maximum performance of automatic subject recognition, AF and image quality in even highly dynamic scenes and in all light conditions in the field with the electronic shutter that always works at 14bit. The bright and pleasant OLED viewfinder is also excellent and always works at 120fps regardless of all the rest of the settings, keeping the vision always fluid, natural and without blackouts during the very fast horizontal panning. Finally, I remember, for those who don't know, that, by setting the burst to 10fps, the buffer is infinite, in the sense that it has no time limit and never slows down, it continues at 10fps as long as there is battery and space in the cfexpress. Of course, in scenes that you need to immediately switch to faster bursts, as I mentioned above, just press a custom button to instantly switch up to 30fps. In this way we will have an infinite buffer in bursts where maximum speed is not needed, also to contain the total number of recorded raw and if necessary the immediate availability of 30fps, very convenient and flexible according to the needs in the field. FIRMWARE UPDATE 1.3.1: Fixes a slight bug to Touch & Drag AF. The ability to set pre-shooting with direct on/off from any custom button (even from the lens buttons) has also been added. In addition, a series of other new features are very useful, such as the 4 customizable white balance presets assignable to a button and other professional features all very useful, excellent update. In short: high-performance and multipurpose professional camera, very comfortable and reliable, I personally use it exclusively with the electronic shutter taking advantage of its advantages, suitable for practically any photographic genre.
