So what would you add there to the R1? Obvious guess: more mp + better video features. The most interesting question would be if R1 will be slower fps with super high mp, like the old 1Ds was to 1D, and if "rugged body + high mp + 8K" would be enough to Canon to label it as the flagship in spite of not being the fastest.
The bottle neck is the data rate being transferred. Higher MP means less FPS. Lower MP more FPS
Maybe 2 high end R1 bodies make sense.
Maybe R1 with 30mp and R1s with 80mp
Hierarchy plays an important role. Even though the R3 is a very capable camera, some users want to own/use the flagship camera.
I don't see how the R1 can only be a high MP camera. Many pros on these R3 threads are saying they don't want more MP
Also yeah, the 24mp is 'enough' for sports but not necessarily enough for wildlife and other aspects of photography, the R3 is obviously a sports camera.
I don't actually care what professionals say as they're speaking from their perspective as using a 1DX and probably primarily doing sports.
Not everyone wants a 24mp camera in 2021.
