Thats lower than I expected. Original 135 f2 was kinda cheep but outstanding lens. Hope this will follow.
Must be new, but CR needs to clarify whether it's BSI and the DPAF is version II?
Full frame stacked sensors is a premium feature. The only way a full frame stacked sensor will make it's way down the product lineup is when there's a new tech at the top becoming the new premium feature, making stacked sensors "old tech" and then moving downwards to the lower tier bodies.
6d sensor are from the time when canon did not had on chip adc.
Nothing in the rumored specs ever looked like it was stacked sensor.
No 4K120, and 4k60 is with a crop?
Create a entirely new sensor with all the associated cost such as design, testing, fabrication, firmware development and setting up a new production line. A process that would cost millions and take many months if not years.
Or:
Just use the existing 24mp R3 sensor which has almost no upfront costs other than to expand the capacity of an existing production line. This also cuts development time massively. Then just limit features in firmware.
In pretty sure Canon would just go for option B
