If the Canon R1 shoots at 15fps at 85MP and allows you to lower the file size to shoot at a faster fps would you consider buying it as a replacement for a 1DX, 1DXII or 1DXIII

None of the poll options and given information are enough to make a purchase decision for me, so I guess it's a no then. I don't make purchase decisions on hypothetical / speculative arguments, unless it's monopoly money

Depends on "when" - in 5 years that spec may not sound as special as you are making it out to be.

Depends on what else is on the market, I would buy equipment that does what I need at the lowest possible price.

Depends on what it costs. If that wasn't a consideration, Canon would have already made it. It needs to sell too. Anyone voting yes, really falls in the last choice if they are honest

Also I don't understand why people whose needs are met with a lower res camera need to wait for this when we don't even have an R3 here yet. R3 might exactly be the camera for that use case, and will certainly be at a cheaper price point than R1

I guess an R1 is not close enough on horizon at this point, so this really boils down to you getting tired of creating multiple concurrent threads on this unicorn topic, or the forum having to endure this for a long long time
