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.

very reasonable, Tony!
Thank you for that. I do believe, my request is reasonable and modest. Canon is more than up to the task. What agency would not buy multiple copies for all of their photographers? Including some exciting new glass.
It would also edge SONY, Nikon and Fuji away from their most profitable. areas with the highest margins. A single broadcast lens can cost $250,000 USD. Canon is a eco-system that exists systemically in the largest purchasers of media equipment in the world. There is.much more at stake than letting your competitors get in through a side door to chip away at that ecosystem.
The R1 will be more important than most consumers or photographers know, based on the importance of Canon remaining dominant in direct and peripheral assimilation and dissemination across multiple platforms for multinational media concerns. From the field, production, to the truck, NOC and into consumer homes globally. No need for the weakest link to be one that disturbs this dominance.
