The Canon EOS R1 Mirrorless Camera Body is a professional-grade full-frame mirrorless camera designed and made in Japan. It features a Canon-designed full-frame back-illuminated stacked CMOS sensor with 24.2 effective megapixels, powered by a DIGIC X image processor with a DIGIC Accelerator co-processor. This camera records stunning 6K maximum resolution video and 4K HD video, with still images captured in RAW, C-RAW, JPEG, or HEIF formats. Equipped with a 54mm Canon RF mount, the EOS R1 boasts a Dual Pixel CMOS AF autofocus system, a 0.5" OLED color electronic viewfinder with approximately 9.44 million dots, and a 3.2" TFT color LCD touchscreen with swivel/tilt functionality. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB Type-C, HDMI-A, microphone input, and headphone output. Dual CFexpress Type B card slots provide ample storage, while a robust shutter offers speeds up to 1/64000th sec. The camera is dust resistant and includes a built-in flash, hot shoe, and a comprehensive accessory package.
Mirrorless is the modern standard; invest in a mirrorless system unless buying cheap used DSLRs to learn on. Sensor size (Full Frame vs APS-C/Crop) dictates low-light performance, depth of field, and lens cost. Available from $6,799.
The camera body is just the down payment on the photography hobby. True ownership cost lies in lenses, SD cards, batteries, and editing software subscriptions. Protecting the gear with good bags and filters mitigates expensive repairs.
