It’s official that Canon has some sort of announcement coming this week. But while we don’t know for sure what’s coming we can be sure there is no R1 flagship camera that will be coming any time soon. Ordinary Filmmaker reports that Canon has had issued on the prototype version of this camera and therefore the Sony A1 and Nikon Z9 can enjoy NO competition for the foreseeable future. I do believe that by the time the R1 will be on the market Sony will be very close launching their new A1II.
