Alright, Now that that the Canon EOS R has been officially announced, this begs the question. Will you be buying one?

Not because it doesn't stack up against the competition [they suck] but because it does not stack up against the 5DsR.

Stop reading my mind Rick...

I was hoping for more. I'm not biting for 30mp, though I do like the idea of a f/2 24-70 lens and I hope such fast zooms will become the norm. The enthusiast/pro version of the camera will hopefully surpass the 5dsr in capability/features.

Best of the day to you Rick

The question of the day: will the pro version be landscape/studio/architecture oriented or action oriented. Here's a comment from DPR I just read:

Our bet? There will be a speed-focused mirrorless EOS-1D type camera launched in time for the Tokyo olympics in 2020, alongside a similarly pro-oriented Nikon Z-mount competitor.

My bet would be on an action focused EOS-1D camera based on Canon seemingly relegating the "hi-res" feature to the 5D lineup (groan). What grinds me is that I think it's too easy for Canon to field a hi-res pro body that's also very fast with a deep buffer.

I'm not believing for a second that Canon can't produce a 60-80mp body (Sony sensor please) that shoots at least 10 raw frames-per-second for 50 frames. However, I understand that what can technically be done doesn't alway square with what makes business sense and can appreciate that reality.

60mp, mirrorless, EOS-1DX3"s"; shooting at 14fps for 25 frames coupled with a 28-70 f/2 would be very, enticing.
