I now have R5 and it is a big jump for me from 5D MKIII. Double the resolution. I feel totally happy with 45MP, but I indeed had to get new memory cards, several SSDs and a new MBP with M1 Max processor as I also have Mavic3 for video. I do not think I need 100MP now, but I seriously welcome it if it comes in the same shape as R5. I would love to go to several places in the next 5 years (Patagonia, Canadian Rockies, Kamchatka, New Zealand, Antarctica) and if I am there, I want to have top quality files that I can print with superb quality. besides, I will need a second camera body on these trips, so likely I will get R5s when it comes as a second body.

Technologies progresses and we never know if we " need " it or not until we are there, just like before, who would think we need 32 inch 4K monitor, my IBM 24 inch 1080 looks great......who  would need 80 Inch TV, my 36 Inch Sony Wega TV looks fine....... , who would need electric car? my Toyota Corolla takes me to places fine....... Who need Google/Apple/Wechat pay? my credit card works great......now who needs more than 45MP? I think the time  we need it is when we have have one in our hand. i still remember the day Nikon forum got full of those  "who needs a Full Frame, my APS-C work great, even better than the FF........." but of course that all changed over night once the D3 was announced too.
