If Canon gave us a 32mp, we might not buy another body

R7 = 32.5 crop

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.

I think you’re right, a 32mp Canon body may take some sales away from those buying a 45mp Canon R5. ….

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.

….But I suppose Canon will be happy as long as it’s a Canon body that’s bought, and it’s profitable for them with the high volume they sell…

..and as you said, if Canon can sell you a cheap lower mp , slightly limited camera to get you into the Canon system, then you’ll probably update to a  superior, more expensive body in the future… so they’ve sold you twice over.

If Canon made a 32mp body that was priced and had specification between the R6mk2 and R5mk1….Iprobably wouldn’t buy another body for 10 years!
