    First off, of course hopes that Craig is well and this is the start of something he loves doing.
    I appreciate what you said about wanting to be a primary source for information, and I'm subscribed to this channel precisely for that reason. And yet, this is a big loss because I want a TEXT primary source.
    When I see the same information in one of your videos and in a CR post, I can read the post and get the gist in about 15 seconds. Your videos don't even get going for longer than that, not to mention that time last week that you specifically dragged things out, explicitly making fun of those of us who want to just get to the point already.
    You have something valuable to add in your voice and commentary, and you're certainly head-and-shoulders above the hypebeast UA-camrs who I won't even bother to name. But news and commentary are different things, and I'm going to miss having a textual source of news on what's happening with Canon.

    Pursuing camera rumors might be likened to an addiction or madness, as it involves repeating the same actions and anticipating different outcomes. However, no real change occurs until the manufacturer officially announces its products and specifications, which is always uncertain. Speculation and rumors are simply premature nonsense. As for the recent announcement you mentioned, viewers who are frustrated have the option to unsubscribe and seek factual information from other channels.

    With the existence of the r3 being a sports shooters best friend in the canon world, and the r5 series being a higher megapixel camera, what would the r1 need to be.
    It almost feels as if there is no real place for the r1 if they continue both the r3 and r5 camera lines simultaneously.
    What features would need to exist to make it their flagship with how great those other two cameras already are?

    • @PaulHuchton-vx6ou
      @PaulHuchton-vx6ou 14 днів тому

      My thought is it would be the higher end R5 purpose built camera, with the integrated vertical grip, even higher resolution for studio/fashion, landscape/nature, and better weather sealing.
      The R3 line is more like the 1d mark 2/3 series was with the sports oriented speed, and lower resolution, while the R1 would be more like the 1ds cameras with higher resolution. Essentially the R3 and R6 Mark 2 are the expensive/cheaper versions targeted to similar customer needs with different budgets, and the R1 and R5 series would cater toward the higher resolution needs of Canon photographers…
      There is still room for differentiation, especially when you include the built in vertical grip design differences on the higher end models, vs the more compact bodies of the mid tier offerings…
