It's certainly possible that the recent $500 price drop on the Canon R3 camera could be an indication that the highly anticipated Canon R1 is about to be announced.

Canon has not made any official statements regarding the release date or specs of the R1 camera, but there have been rumors circulating for years that it is in development and could be announced sometime in 2023/24.

However, it's important to note that the price drop on the R3 could also simply be a marketing strategy to make the camera more accessible to a wider range of customers. It's not uncommon for camera manufacturers to adjust their pricing in response to market demand and competition.

Ultimately, it's difficult to say for certain what the price drop on the R3 means for the release of the R1 camera. We will have to wait for an official announcement from Canon to know for sure.

Something interesting, the first official Canon acknowledgement of the R1 has been made. So its very likely a development announcement is in the works.
