Why the Canon EOS R1 is the Ultimate Camera for Sports and Wildlife Photography
Canon’s EOS-1 series has been the trusted choice for sports and action photographers since 1989 — and now, the EOS R1 takes everything great about its predecessors and pushes it further. This flagship camera is built for one purpose: helping you capture decisive moments faster, sharper, and better than ever. Check it out at National Store, a licensed Canon Abu Dhabi distributor.
Autofocus that thinks ahead
The EOS R1’s deep-learning-powered autofocus system knows what you’re shooting and adapts in real-time. This camera tracks your subject — whether it’s a soccer player sprinting or a bird in flight — with laser-like accuracy. It can even predict where your subject will move next.
Never miss a shot with pre-continuous shooting.
How many times have you missed the perfect frame by a split second? The EOS R1 solves that. Its pre-continuous shooting buffers 20 frames before you press the shutter. At 40fps, you’ll capture half a second of action you would’ve missed. Slower shooting speeds extend that window even further.
Stay connected and deliver faster.
The EOS R1’s connectivity options make it easier to send your images and videos to clients in record time — perfect for when you’re racing for the front page.
Precision autofocus in every condition
The EOS R1 doesn’t flinch in tough lighting. With Cross-type autofocus points that are sensitive to horizontal and vertical details, you get sharp, accurate results even in low light or with low-contrast subjects.
Unmatched image quality
The 24-megapixel sensor delivers images that wow. The stacked CMOS design efficiently handles low-light scenarios while a low-pass filter minimises moiré and false colours. You will be able to capture every detail and every texture.
Shoot stills and video at once
Switching between photo and video on the fly? The EOS R1 is ready. With Dual Shooting mode, you can grab 17MP JPG photos at 10fps while recording Full HD video without interrupting your footage.
Enlarge without compromise
Zoom in on the details without losing quality. Deep-learning-powered upscaling lets you create stunning 96-megapixel photos for large prints or tight crops.
Video that matches your vision
Capture stunning 6K footage using the full width of the sensor, whether you’re shooting interviews, documentaries, or high-paced action.
