Canon doesn’t care what you want them to do. They care what camera buyers in aggregate want them to do. Their domination of the market with nearly 50% share says their understanding of the market is vastly superior to yours.
And, once again, Canon are milking European customers.

The R3 might get an update in a few years. For example the smaller size and a global shutter would be enough differentiation from the R1.
I don't think that is true anymore with the cinema and 5 series. They seem to be trying to give us new features that people ask for since the R5. For the 1 series you are probably correct. I also don't think the 1 series is their big seller like the rest of their line up and maybe suited just for pros that need a camera that works and works fast. It's funny how much crap Canon gets for a camera people aren't going to buy.
^^This. The people who are the target audience, will buy the camera. I’d guess that 99% of the people complaining about it on the Internet we’re never going to buy it anyway.
With 2.5ms readout or less, a 50 year old global shutter technology is irrelevent in 2024. And a lost of 2 stops of dynamic range is rediculous. Global shutter is fine if ya can only readout in slow 4ms and above. 2ms readout approaching 0 secs is damn near gs speed without all the DR loss of a 50 year old Kodak technology.
I think it gets to 96MP, not 64MP, but on the understanding the camera is simply doing software up resolution (as against pixel shift or something like that), I am disappointed to see that on a camera like the R1. I know resolution can be increased in post processing on a computer anyway, computational photography and AI may be the future (for better or worse), and I may be in a minority in feeling as I do, but personally I am very unimpressed to see this sort of fabrication (it's the best term I can think of right now!) of an image coming out of this sort of camera. I am not in the R1's target market and I was never going to buy one anyway, so my view is irrelevant in that sense, but that feature really puts me off it. (Yes, I appreciate that if it's in the R1 it may well become a common camera feature over time.)
Yeah people are complaining about 8k60 but all they do is post low bitrate 1080p Instagram reels
