R7 would be fine. I'm ok with 30mpx. Would like to have ibis. Joystick instead of the Touch Bar. That's about it. I'm fine with the rest of the R as it is.

A new camera not named the R1 is coming in the 2nd half of 2021 [CR2]
- Thread starter Canon Rumors Guy
- Start date
Canon should produce something like R2 – a flagship camera with the best specs with almost no compromise, relatively compact in size (R5 size), money is no object. Just for marketing purposes. Give it to those youtubers for free. And it would bring a lot of people to Canon.
I can see a lot of people buying Sony cameras (mostly A7iii) just because their favorite youtuber uses 7Siii or A1

You can expect the R1 released prior to the Summer Oltmpics opening ceremony July 23rd. Admin originally missed the R5 by a year also. Canan has always released its 1Dx prior to the summer Olympics. You can expect the same. Likely will be deluvered to the Olympic venues first, just as they did in Rio, except no need for shipping.

Don't believe it. Admin was wrong about the R5 and a year off with it.

The R5 is the 5D replacement. The R1 the 1Dx replacement will be deluvered to the Olympic venues as always. The ultimate showcase for any high performance sports camers camera is the summer Olympics. The Canon flagship will be there. And it won't be then 1DX2

Considering it is long overdue, I would expect this to be the high-mp body, the successor to the 5dsr, not because of demand, but because it is overdue. Also a high megapixel count REALLY turns heads in this market (when admittedly there is a lot more at play than high MP, including ISO quality, buffer speed, pixel density issues, overheating, and burst speeds.) After owning a 5DSR, and dealing with its cons as a commercial shooter, I will pass on a high-mp body. BUT: I would love to see any Canon body with a BSI sensor or a variable low-pass filter. The Sony RX1Rm2 almost won me over to them, except that the RX1 camera is a sealed compact that isn't weather-sealed. Also, Sony is not a camera company, they are a consumer product company, and maybe worst of all, their interchangeable lens full frame mount is too tiny, built for a DSLR APS-C, not specifically a back-focused mirrorless full frame. (It would be like if Canon had designed the RF full frame mount around M or EFS lenses. Because of the massive RF mount size, Canon will always rule the day with glass when compared to the dinky E-mount.)
Besides a 5DSr equivalent (R5SR?), it could also be an aps-c RF body in line with a 7d. I have no clue why people want a prosumer aps-C that is the same body size as a r5, it makes no sense to me, but people sure seem to want that big body with the tiny sensor. That can't be about price any longer since the wonderful RP is only a grand.
I am excited about the photo future. Sony is making great innovations, and Canon needs that to stay up-to-date, since all Nikon has done since 1987 is play catch-up with the hallowed EOS lens system. Canon should be worried still about Sony, yep, but they should also just ignore clueless Nikon, who have moved their manufacturing to cheapo land as they begin what I think is a death spiral of irrelevance. In my worthless opinion, the entire market depends on glass and the mount size, followed by bodies and features and lastly, sensors.
Hope this isn't too troll-ish.

"Everyone"? The R5 user base and the other two high end cameras are different user bases. The R5 is the 5D replacement. Those that shoot with the 1dx2 or 5D + 1dx2 arent the same as those that shoot with 5D only. Canon doesnt depend on fanboys. A high megapixel one and its sports camera that are most always released during Olympic years. The showcase of the sports camera. No other event is comparable.

Actually, they do. Canon (and all the other camera manufacturers) are increasingly dependent on enthusiasts with disposable income to sustain their business. The old user base of professionals is shrinking and is now too small to sustain a market for 1 series bodies.

You’re definitely using good, solid logic from the past, and you absolutely could be right (I wouldn’t bet against it); but… with this and almost every piece of news/speculation coming out of the imaging world lately, I really question whether any of that precedent matters any more. Even before Covid, the market was in the midst of some tremendous upheaval. I’d be careful about assuming that something that was true 5 years ago means anything today.

Yep. No plans to purchase anything more expensive than that so I couldn't care less. Will happily replace my current R with one even if the R loses a ton of value as a result. I just want my R with IBIS and a useful control to replace the touch bar. They can even ditch the top LCD and magnesium body for all I care.
