    3. Even though I’m not going to buy it (I think) That is a baaaad camera when you look at the run down of specs considering the usability vs other systems.

      Anyone that uses it to create will not be disappointed. Nay sayers are doomed.
    6. As I asked in the other thread, could these cameras not be restricted in firmware to output max 24 MP JPG files?
      I have never seen that happen before. Anything is possible, but I don't think you hand these cameras out to people under NDAs with an announcement around the corner and gimp them.
    8. Ouchhhhh. Guess I'm sticking with the R5!
      R5 is a very nice camera to stick with! I have it too and I have not regretted it (I sold my R though). I would like a R5 with R3's body and battery though...

      It seems a little conspiratorial to me but the thing that makes me think it might be possible is the video resolution. Full width DCI 4K doesn’t divide nicely into 6,000 pixels.

      I do hope you are right and they have cooked these numbers.
      On the negative side I like my 5DMkIV and a 30Mp R3 would make it redundant!
    17. It could all be preparing a big reveal for the launch... all the pro sports photographers who said more than 20mp would be too slow have just shot the Olympics with a 45mp camera, set to output M jpegs ;)
