Canon EOS R1 review: a five star high-speed powerhouse for pros, with a sky-high price
The Canon EOS R1 is a remarkable and high-performing camera for its intended professional sports and action niche, offering excellent build, speed, and autofocus, though it is very expensive and considered niche even for professionals.

The EOS R1 provides excellent speed, autofocus, and construction for pros in sports and news, but it is very expensive and likely excessive for those outside its specific target audience compared to alternatives like the Nikon Z 8.
