I had no idea about this. I wonder how many people know or actually don't have a clue that this AF system is present in these existing and really expensive Canon ML bodies. That's amazing, and not in a good way.

If what Tony says is true that Canon is waiting to put that quad AF system in the R1, wouldn't that be a major slap on the face for the customer that is buying the expensive R5 and R3 right now?

I agree with you and believe the potential for the R1 to have quad pixel auto-focus and a higher pixel count make waiting for an R1 development announcement before purchasing an R3 very compelling.

I agree. Like yourself 1000's of users and companies are waiting. What's more significant is that these are users and companies that purchase multiple copies and their adoption will result in substantial glass and accessories revenue too.

If the R1 is like the R3, it will be an abysmal failure in achieving the institutional buy-in.
