Greetings!
We have the information from Canon that the R3 pricing will undercut the competition. From what we know, though, the specs of the R3 don't quite line up with any competition we know about anyway. It is rumored to have more megapixels and FPS than the 1DXiii and the Sony A9. But it is also rumored to have fewer megapixels than the A1 and Z9 and the R5. This camera may meet the needs for most sports and journalism photography while falling short for small or skittish wildlife. While sharing a lot in common with the 1 series bodies, this camera is in a class of its own. Canon has specifically said this is NOT their flagship.
So... With just a few days left to go, what do you think the price will be, and why? The winner receives the right to brag about being right during the dozens of pre-R1-release threads.
Good luck!
