Serious note: All I want from the 1R is some good trickle down in a year or two's time.

I'd buy that camera especially if the sensor readout speed is on par with the Sony A1 (or even in the 1/150s-1/180s range), and Canon makes a compelling 600mm prime offering along with it. I'd probably order the camera and dream about owning the prime.It'll most likely be 36-40 mpx, stacked CMOS, no LPF(hopefully), 30 fps 12bit compressed, 20 fps lossless 14bit - just like the Sony a1.
The biggest thing/hope for me is the AF in video getting as good as the Photo AF, so again, hopefully, the QP will answer that prayer
85mpx GS in 10 years? Maybe. As of now is a total BS.
No. I haven’t seen anything about faster t times and if they were they would have been a headline new feature.Does the EL-1's specification hint at such a possibility?
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. No one is comparing the Sony A1 to the 1DX mk III or the Nikon D6. They're comparing it to the R5, which isn't even close to the same price point. Sony usually puts out a great product, but they basically put out an A9III with a 1DX price tag.If the Sony A1 is worth $6500 (and in my book it isn't) the this is easily worth $8500.
People buy the EF 600mm f4L at $13k... $8.5k might not be that hard of a sell to the people in the target demographic. I on the other hand will wait until 2030, when my second mortgage could buy a used/refurbished one.The only thing that comes close is the list price of US$ 8.500 Good luck Canon....
Hard drive space is pretty cheap these days.$8500 also happens to be how much you are going to need to spend on hard drives to hold all those photos at 85mb and 20fps you will take.
The Red Komodo manages around 12 stops. Not bad for a global shutter, but nowhere near their silly 16 plus stops marketing hype claims.
If Canon can manage better than 14 usable stops, this camera would be the new benchmark.
True. I probably should have said a global shutter in a semi affordable body. The Komodo is ridiculously expensive isnt it?
A 21MP quad-pixel sensor would have 84MP pixels of course which could in theory have a special mode that could record each sub-pixel separately. And it would seem a waste of a quad pixel set up if you didn't have a dual or quad gain set up to improve DR. So whilst there are elements that could be true but it does have the smell of a wild optimist/attention-seeker! Mind you some of R5 rumours sounded pretty wild at the start
I guess there will be people who could use a camera that switched 21/85MP, I can't see 85MP being of particular interest to the majority of the professional market though
Wrong way around - get the lens first, and match that to whatever you've got (assuming you have an R body) and then get a better camera later. Bodies come and go, lenses are (almost) forever...... I'd probably order the camera and dream about owning the prime.
Not according to Canon's description of the Dual Pixel, they do not consider an individual photodiode to be a pixel. Specifically they sayA 21MP quad-pixel sensor would have 84MP pixels of course which could in theory have a special mode that could record each sub-pixel separately.

2021 called. They want you to know that 16TB externals are only about $200 - peanuts when talking about cameras costing $4000 or more.$8500 also happens to be how much you are going to need to spend on hard drives to hold all those photos at 85mb and 20fps you will take.
The 1DX Mk III is going for $6499 and I bought my Mk II for $5699. $8500 is not near those prices. Hell, you could buy any 1D X and a 70-200mm f/2.8 IS II for less and still get tack sharp images. It will have to be a banger of a camera before I would even think about it, and even then I would want to wait for at least 6 months to see how it goes. Think I will just buy a Mk III. I already have an R5 for high res shots.I don't know why so many people are shocked at the price. I think I paid near that for my EOS-1Ds Mk I MkII and MkIII.
Does it make phone calls?
I hear you, and that's normally good advice especially if the camera and lens were priced similarly. However, the 600mm prime is very likely to cost 2x that of the R1, which may put it forever in dream territory.Wrong way around - get the lens first, and match that to whatever you've got (assuming you have an R body) and then get a better camera later.
