Canon has since the time of the EOS 1 prioritized the "1" series line to the needs of professional, photojournalist Sports & Action shooters,

As a professional sports photographer I want increased resolution. Better than the R5 and Z9 in the R1. Double the resolution of the 1DXMKIII

and fast-forward to the DSLR, they added a 2nd pro-quality line, the "5" series, prioritized to the needs of Landscape, and Studio shooters.

The pro sports/action folks prioritize speed, & AF accuracy far above pixel resolution;

The R5 and Z9 focus fine. The best shots out of Tokyo were from R5's. There are no excuses left to cripple the R1.

whereas the Landscape / studio folks prioritize resolution.

Sports, sports action portrature, fashion, runway, BIF, All should be able to be shot with the R1.

That should have satisfied both groups, and we don't hear the Landscape / Studio shooters griping that their "5" series cameras have too much resolution, curbing it's Action shooting ability, but there seems to be an abundant number of senseless, resolution obsessed Landscape /Studio shooters who think every Camera should be prioritized for them, and no one else.:-(

A good camera able to be used for various genres should be sold at a premium to professionals.

If amateurs don't want to spend 10K on lenses and bodies that's OK. Some of us pay over $40K for bodies. The R1's time has come. Canon needs to make sure the roll-out is flawless.

+1

very reasonable, Tony!
