Update: I'm getting mixed information as to whether or not it will be an official announcement tomorrow or just more information about the Canon EOS R3.
Canon will officially announce the Canon EOS R3 on June 29, 2021. This date is based on living in the western hemisphere. We will obviously have full coverage of the launch.
Canon will also announce the RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM lens on the same day.

So is 30.1MP "confirmed"?
Hopefully the eye tracking AF is a *new* "game changer". They're on a roll with great AF and I hope it continues here!
Other than that, this seems to be a great body! I hope it's not too expensive - well, yes, that is such a relative term! :sneaky:
But even if it is "just" 30MP, I am sure it will be fabulous. Just not quite as exciting for getting close to birds, but hopefully even better AF and image quality to make up for it.
