The Canon R1 is FINALLY Coming (and the S9, Too)

Thanks to OM SYSTEM for sponsoring the PetaPixel Podcast! Save on the OM SYSTEM lenses that made PetaPixel’s The Best Lenses for Micro Four Thirds Cameras in 2024 list. Right now, you can get the incredible OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-40mm f/2.8 Pro II for just $799, $200 off its retail price. Or how about the OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm f/4 Pro, which is just $699 right now, also $200 off its retail price.

However, the savings don’t stop there. Right now, you can save up to $400 on EVERY M.Zuiko lens! Visit explore.omsystem.com/petapixel to learn more about these savings, as well as OM SYSTEM’s Trade-in, Trade-up event throughout May and June.

Because of Fujifilm's massive launch last week (and Sigma dropped a new 24-70mm f/2.8, too), the PetaPixel Podcast team had to record early and release later than usual, but that also meant a lot happened that they didn't get to talk about. That changes this week, because there was a ton to go over including Canon finally annoucning the development of the EOS R1, a camera that has been in development for at least three years. But that didn't go as smoothly as Canon perhaps would have preferred, as Adorama published fake specifications for the camera on their website and was then forced to make a public apology.

Beyond that, Adobe announced that Firefly generative AI tools were coming to Lightroom and Ricoh's new GRIII HDF is so popular that Japan had to resort to selling it by lottery.

This week, Panasonic announced the S9 and Chris and Jordan have some thoughts on it and also share how they think L-mount is doing now in mid 2024.
