R8= 24.2

R3 = 24.1

R6 mk3 = 32?

R5 mk2 = 54?

R1 = 60?

The R8 has almost everything in an entry level camera at an entry level price. The 24Mp-count is the last barrier imo. If the R8II comes in at 32Mp it will hurt sales of the R5 line.

Sony gave everything away with the A7IV at a pretty low price. I don't know who's buying those 60Mp+ camera's, but for most zooms it's overkill, and shooting heavy primes stopped down all the time is pretty cumbersome. There's also the physical barrier of a diffraction limit somewhere, so the Mp-race will end some day no matter what.

So buy your R8 and be happy with it's low price for now,  it will tease you to get an RF 24-70mm f/2.8  L IS USM - and you won't resist - and that will cause a next body purchase when that 32Mp body will be announced.  The L standard zoom will set you back 2500 euro, and that 32Mp body won't be 1700 euro but rather 3200 or so.

R8 = 1700 euro now and 3700 euro future purchases. That's why it has a low price.
