It felt like this day would never come, but finally, the embargo on the sale of the hotly anticipated Canon EOS R1 flagship camera has been lifted, and this morning at 9am, I took delivery of two Canon EOS R1 cameras. My initial information (which came from Canon) that the camera would not arrive until the 18th of November was incorrect, and Canon Australia did, in fact, deliver the cameras on the 14th of November in line with the USA release date embargo. Of course, like any new camera, there is a lot to set up and a lot to learn. Thankfully, the camera is similar to my much-loved EOS R3, so I hope it does not take too long to develop new muscle memory for the camera controls. I hope to squeeze in a podcast on my initial impressions before I leave for Antarctica and the Emperor Penguins in just six days.
