If Canon were to prioritize the "1" series to a mega 85 MP body, Nikon exec's would be "dancing in the streets" as within a year all those Canon "big whites" that have dominated sporting events for decades will have descended into the dust bin of history as "once upon a time".

The big whites are on SONY, FUJI and Canon cameras everywhere you look.

As for a camera that allows you to shoot at 85 MP or to adjust your file size to shoot at 20 or 6 MP, how does the latitude scare you? How would it scare the other professional sports photographers I work with? Every person I've spoken to who puts food on the table has told me that they would LOVE to shoot at 85MP or adjust to 20MP as longe as they could maintain 15fps.

What "people did for decades" is fine. They used to ride horses to work and put leeches on their bodies.

The next Canon that even comes close to that will be the R5s/r, similar to the 5ds/r.

Will Canon get 10K for the body?

Anyone that thinks different, is living in "La La Land', though that's not too bad a place to be, as "they say", "ignorance is bliss"
