Guys. Accept it. R3 is only 24 mp. Canon probably doesn’t have the tech to increase bandwidth to process more megapixels at this FPS. R1 on the other hand when it comes out will probably be 50 mp+. Assuming they want to go head to head with z9/A1.

A view from outside, neither a Canon nor a large action body shooter. Canon is right. Look at the Olympics, those people need a very fast, deep buffered, top AF, excellent EVF, no rolling shutter camera. All that that requires lots of processing power, technology is not, likely, there to do all that at top performance with 45 MP or more, at 30fps. Sony has the A9, I doubt those using Sony at the OGs are shooting with the A1. Nikon is playing a catch-up game.

Watching the Brazil x France volleyball match on Sunday I noticed this guy behing servers on the right side of TV frame using a smaller camera, I finally was able to read the camera name, R6. Why R6 and not R5? Certainly price was not the issue, he had various larger lenses and bodies.

A very high res body will come later, now’s the time for Canon to get all their very large action photography userbase to start migrating to ML. R5 is already doing an excellent job in the higher res realm. Canon is playing their cards very well IMO.
