Don't know if it was already brought up: 6 and below are full frame, 7 and above are cropped. The R8 can't be FF therefore.

This dates back to their DSLR days. Otherwise, R1 is FF, R2 cropped, R3 FF, R4 cropped, R5 FF, R6 cropped (not). Doing it the reverse means the R5 should be cropped. Both the R8 and the R10 should be cropped therefore. They are responding to Fuji's dominance of the cropped sensor market, maybe? Assumptions, educated guesses only. No one gets mad, ok?

No. There's just no way they'd bring out a second aps-c body at the $1500 price point given that the R7 is already there. I mean 4 different aps-c bodies between 900 and 1500 with TWO of them priced at the same $1500 mark? They would so thoroughly confuse the market that it would be pointless. Particularly with such a paltry RF-S lens lineup.

So, either the price is wrong and it won't be 1500, or the price is correct and the R8 will be an entry-level FF.
