Hi,

According to the DP Review article I linked to in the OP (https://www.dpreview.com/news/0829786279/exclusive-olympics-photo-editor-confirms-canon-eos-r3-has-a-24mp-sensor), an unnamed editor at the Olympics confirmed to DP Review that the maximum size of R3 files is 6000x4000. This article is a follow-up on the Jeff Cable EXIF "leak". So it's fair to assume the sensor will be 24mp, unless these samples have some sort of a deliberate resolution restriction in their firmware.

Exactly. If the camera has a higher resolution sensor, but also offers a 24mp mode which Jeff and other OL photographers prefer (which is VERY likely in such case), then the images the editor receives will be 24mp. And Exif will also say 24mp. That was what I was trying to say.
