I hope the R8 isn't a simultaneous update of the RP and R. Canon needs something to go head to head with the likes of the A7R3 & A7IV IMO. Something in the R6' price range with more resolution. RP is fine; expectations are low at that price point. R was outdated at launch and is in most need of replacement.

I don't see there will be a basic sub-$1500 full-frame with more than 24mp when the R6ii is only 24mp. The RP has 26mp because they use 6Dii leftover sensors.

But I agree there is too much of a gap between 24 and 45mp. Something in the middle makes sense.

Lets see if they can put some order with their camera names which is confusing.

R3, R5, R6 full-frames

R7 APSC

R8 again a FF?

R10 APSC

What about R1, R2, R4 and R9 for APSc or FF?
