Re: Confirms that for me the R5 is good enough....

For my wildlife shooting I've switched from nikon to the r5 (and now an r6 as a second body)...I like having the resolution of the r5 (just as I did when shooting the d850) for cropping of long distance subjects. While for a lot of things 24mp is plenty, the lower resolution of the r3 tradeoff vs higher speed isn't worth it for me. Heck I shoot the r5 most of the time in mech shutter to slow it down to 12 fps....For pros I get it, but for me 12 or 20 fps with the superb tracking of the r5/r6 is good enough...and given the big price of the r3 I can have both of the lesser canon bodies for less than the cost of one r3. I'm standing pat....although I am curious about the z9...

I'd go as far as saying this can be a marketing ploy, to create a positive spike once the actual MP of the R3 turns out to be higher than 24.

For whatever it's worth, I think I agree there is no confirmation until we have the camera released to ordinary mortals like you and I.
