Sony is there. Canon is there. Fuji is there. Panasonic is there. Microsoft is there. What are you trying to imply? It is not as though this association is some kind of money machine. I doubt this causes Canon to keep the SD slots on cameras. My goodness.Canon is an Executive Board member of the SD Association.

It's professional on this one

Well, my sarcasm was more to do with people that freak out over whether or not their preferred brand labels what they use as "professional" or not. My thought are, "Who cares?" A professional isn't a professional because of the gear he/she uses. Anyone who gets butthurt because there isn't a label that suits them (Including freaking over model naming conventions) is more interested in gear and self-perceived status than they are about photography.It's professional on this one
Canon EOS R3 - Professional Mirrorless Cameras - Canon UK
The EOS R3 full-frame professional mirrorless camera is designed to meet the demands of professional sports photographers with high reliability and durability.
Everyone who fills out a warrantee card. Many don't, but many do. They might also buy meta-data from credit providers, retailers, etc. Even sites like Flickr can provide data about who's using what and who's switched or tried something new. The data is out there for those with deep enough pockets. Sites like flickr have data showing, for example, who was shooting with a 5D III? What are they shooting with now? How many people had the R? How many will switch to something else? Flickr and Facebook and such will know before Canon does.
As @CanonFanBoy stated, everyone who fills out a warranty registration card. They're not required for coverage, but many people do still fill them out or register their products online. Even if it's just a small fraction, it's a good sample and more importantly unlike CPS it's likely a random sample across the customer base. They also ask for demographic info like income, main uses for the gear, etc. They do occasional surveys of owners – I've gotten a couple, and I'm not registered with CPS (though I have more than ample 'points'), and those ask for the gear you own as well as what you'd like to see more of from Canon (features, products, etc.).
That still means to produce a RAW file you also need to produce a jpg and now resize it, I think twice as research does suggest there are two jpegs stored in a RAW file, so I can't see how the original supposition, in the article, that writing two RAW files is fast than RAW and jpeg.
Aw heck! I knew I was doing it wrong with a couple of old 135mm f/2.8s and a 400mm f/6.3 manual focus lens. That 200mm f/4 Takumar I have can't shoot wildlife either. The vast majority of wildlife shooters do not have super-tele lenses. Unless, of course, we wish to be snobby and say they are not wildlife shooters if they don't get paid, go on safari, or take whale watching trips.
We could just ignore those paupers.... but they are the biggest slice of the market. Cheap lenses CAN and DO regularly and frequently photograph wildlife. What about the wildlife shooters who shoot underwater or macro? What should I use my 60mm f/2.8 macro for? Coins? Bicycle chains? Glad I have not bought one of Canon's new cheap f/8 RF supers. Gotta be faster than f/2.8, right? Gotta be longggggg too.Aw heck! I knew I was doing it wrong with a couple of old 135mm f/2.8s and a 400mm f/6.3 manual focus lens.

Not trying to pick at all. You said f/2.8 trinity lenses don't work for wildlife shooters, full stop. Not true. Entirely dependent on genre. Entirely dependent on the user's pocket depth too. The f/2.8 trinity may not work for some, but can absolutely be used for wildlife. Neuro is correct. Very few wildlife shooters own $13k lenses. Very few. Frogs and centipedes are wildlife too. I'd be saying the same if you said certain lenses don't work for weddings. Poppycock.
I heard it said that the 24MP image from the R3 seems to resolve similar detail to the 30MP images of the R. From what I’ve seen in the Vanessa Joy video where she is editing the raw files, I believe this may be true. Look @ 5:39, she zooms in 300% and the image looks quite good.
Yes, when you parse a .CR3 file there are two JPGs, one is a thumbnail image (tagged THMB) that's 160 pixels wide, another is a preview image (tagged PRVW) that is 1620 pixels wide (sizes for an EOS R .CR3 file). Not really relevant to Cable's post, though.
'Many' is relative. The reality is that there aren't many Wildlife Photographers, so even if 'many' of that niche group use $13K lenses, it's very, very few in absolute terms. However, there are probably a reasonably large number of photographers who shoot wildlife, and very very few of them have $13K lenses.
