Re: R8 predicted specs: Full frame at $1499

In summary from what was discussed, the sensor possibilities are these, with the reasons why they might not be affixed

1. New sensor: R&D costs, fab line costs would be more than re-using already produced sensor

2. EOS R 30mp sensor: Not sure if this 30mp sensor has sufficient performance for 4K30p readout or if rolling shutter would be too much

3. R6 M1 sensor 20mp: Not sure if production has already stopped

4. R6 M2 sensor 24mp: Tech is too new and Canon might not want to let it trickle down

But it seems that there is a consensus of 4K30p full frame, let's hope it's supersampled and has little rolling shutter

Hope we get the news on the same day as the other lens/camera manufacturer announcements - Feb 8! Exciting!
