I might, when I know more about its features and price. It's premature to make that decision based on what we know now. The R5 version II might end-up being a better choice for most photographers.
I agree, the R5 II may be a much better choice for many Canon shooters.

Canon stopped making dslr cameras. They get their mirrorless market the same as there Rebels & ti series but in the form of the R7-R10-R100 plus viseo cameras.
LOL , you are wrong, wrong, Canon still makes DSLR cameras from hobbyist level to professional level, and dominates the current DSLR worldwide market with 70% of current DSLR sales.
Canon has no plans to leave the still lucrative DSLR market.
Please know the facts, please.

I might buy if I get invited to the Olympics and can't get my hands on an A1 or Z9. Is there even a target date for availability?
Canon is just saying sometime in 2024. So by December, maybe.

Even some Canon stalwarts aren't sure about all these "leaked" R1 specs posted on Adorama page.
But I will share the story, and you can be the judge if you think these "specs" are all accurate. BTW, B&H and no one else has posted these specs, just Adorama, who has since pulled them. Adorama also had the R1 listed as an APS-C camera. I dont think Canon was too pleased with Adorama.
From FStoppers: "Earlier today, a well-known online retailer accidentally posted some of the key specifications of the upcoming Canon EOS R1 mirrorless camera before removing them after a few hours. Given the reasonableness of the specs and the reputation of the retailer, it's a safe bet these are correct. Here's what was listed:
High-speed autofocus and exposure enhanced by AI recognition
Moving object trajectory prediction, high success rate smart object lock focus tracking
30 MP full-frame stacked dual-gain sensor
Purely electronic rolling shutter faster than any mechanical rolling shutter
1/1,250 sec flash sync time (<0.8 microsecond read time)
Added 1:3 lossy compression CRAW (compared to lossless compression)
Unlimited 40 fps (1:2 CRAW) / 60fps (1:3 CRAW) continuous shooting
Up to 120 fps full-featured continuous shooting
Supports 240 fps burst continuous shooting mode, 1 second pre-shooting
Enhanced dynamic range, better than EOS R3 and EOS R5 "
Cheers and best to you.

Not based on worldwide sales. Canon dominates it with close to 50%
Know the facts, More than half of Canon worldwide sales come from its DSLR sales where is has 70% of DSLR sales. (Tony Northrup mentioned this fact in his video on the status of all the major makers).
But Canon is #2 behind #1 leader Sony in worldwide mirrorless camera sales, CIPA and BCN numbers show that. Mirrorless is the fastest growing segment of fullsize cameras, worldwide. DSLRs still sell, but DSLR sales numbers have been in steady decline for years now.
Sony doesn't sell any DSLRs.
Cheers and best to you.

There is a marked and critical difference between a Tool and a Toy...
Namely one is used primarily to generate a revenue stream the other?
Worked briefly with another photographer in my market as a Makeup Artist on his assignments.
He had been shooting weddings for an agency that had recently dropped him.
Why? Because he was using a Nikon D700...
Some guys just can't get their head around the brutal fact that a Wedding Event is likely this most important day in a women's life... So sad but I've seen this again and again... And it's the primary reason I would typically mention to all my bridal makeup clients during their Trial Makeup session... "You would be wise to book with a female photographer if at all possible, in as they fully realize the worth/value of that very "Special Day".
Single Card Slots are great for those who enjoy "playing" with their "Toys"
Commercial Event Photographers are fully cognizant of the potential of a "career ending" disaster....
But hey, this is UHH which is virtually devoid of Wedding Photographers now.
I recently listed one of the very best Nikon options for Wedding Events (a Pro Nikkor 70-200mm) on UHH's Buy/Sell forum, zero responses even though my price point was considerable below KEH, B&H and mpb. UHH members simply aren't much into commercial photography, oh well.
And yes I have a D700 which I use for "Product" photography where those images can easily be recreated.
In fact for "Product" work, I typically have well over a dozen different illumination scenarios before I call in a wrap.
If by chance you are interested in Commercial Photography, more specifically Wedding Photography I recommend investing time on flickr... There you will find a multitude of Commercial Photographers active in the aforementioned. https://www.flickr.com/search/?text=Wedding+Photographers
Cheers, and btw, I consider Dual Chard Slots mandatory if you are a Commercial Shooter booked for a Wedding Event (paid work).
There is a marked and critical difference between ... (

Yes dual card slots are mandatory for professional paid work. Glad in this day we have cameras with them.

As I said, that is fine if it is all you have, and all you need.
