The R3 is a flagship camera, but it is imo wildly overpriced at $6500 vs the A1 or Z9...both of which perform as well with higher resolution. Imo the Canon lineup should be R6ii at $2500, R5ii at $3900, R3 at $5000 and R1 at $6500...Give or take...:-D

Agree on the high R3 price.  I wouldn't be surprised if Canon adjusted the R3 price downward--or leave the camera on a constant sale--when the R1 comes out.

However, I suspect the R3 will drop just to $5900, with the R1 at $7000. Unless the R1 offers a global shutter--and do you really need one if the readout is fast enough?--I'm not sure how Canon can justify a $7500+ price just for increase resolution and 8k video.
