Wild rumors about a possible Canon R1X

There are now the first wild rumors (meaning they are unconfirmed and not from reliable sources) that Canon will announce the new R1X in 2025. I think this is more like wishful thinking after the great disappointment of the R1. Canon clearly stated that the R1 was the ultimate flagship. However, I bet Canon will learn its lesson and perhaps announce a high-resolution flagship in 2-3 years. But before that we will get a new Sony A1II and a new Nikon Z9II that will raise the bar further.

LEAKED: Full Canon R1 specs!

One of my readers spotted this Canon R1 spec sheet on Canon China. The page was only up for few minutes and he shared me the screenshots. I used the google image translation tool and those are the specs:

Canon R1:

  • 24MP sensor
  • Digic X + Digic accelerator
  • ISO 100-102.400
  • Full dual core pixel AF
  • 12fps mechanical and 40fps electronic shutter
  • 6k Raw 60p, 4k DCI 120p, 2k DCI 240p
  • in built stabilization
  • autonomy is 700 shots
  • WLAN-Bluetooth
  • 2 CFexpress Type B slots
  • Size 157,6 x 149,5 x 87,3mm

What do you think about those?
