Would you buy The Canon R1 if it were 85MP

You can lower the file size to increase fps.

How would that work?

to be noted that you asked some relevant questions and none of them were answered

Usually fps is limited by sensor read speed, not card write. So compression would only make it need more cpu power. Pixel bining also adds more cpu power to the mix.

So, the 2 most probable ways to increase fps would be to line skip or crop, both would leave you with less than a full frame sensor, probably significantly so.

Because, let's face it, if the sensor can read faster than 15 fps anyway, why need to lower resolution? Lower data rates? At the cost of a boat load of heat and processing power to pixel bin the images?

I think some have said I like being able to shoot at 85MP when I need or want it.... But at times I need 20MP to get OOC JPEG's to a truck or editor (sports) when shooting tethered.

so you are proposing people shooting lower resolution compromise. They forego RAW, take either a cropped readout, or bin pixels, or downsample (which is more work than FF readout so won’t give faster frame rates anyway). A 20 mp FF camera won’t have those limitations if the user doesn’t want a choice of higher resolution or if they keep separate bodies like they keep separate lenses as right tool for right job.

Noting would stop you from doing that. With the same modality at a lower resolution almost every camera I use can do that now.

Name one, let’s check the same modality claim. I say not a single camera can do that today

It's not advanced, it's the norm. All we're saying is give the photographer the latitude to determine what they want from a resolution perspective. I do this now with my 1DXMKIII and II, I just start at 20MP vs. 80.

It is advanced, but then you skipped the specific questions that previous poster asked. It’s always easy if you don’t have to get into details. We can just give photographers a choice with an all in one body with an all in one lens - except it’s not the choice many of them might take once all the limitations become clear
