OP does not mention 8k. There is lots more to video specs than just resolution.How so are you looking for more than 8k?

Remember the "crazy" R1 specs that were leaked a while ago? I'm starting to think they aren't that crazy.This is the R1 in all but name. It makes no sense to have the R3 as well as an R1 which would have the same large integrated vertical battery grip form factor.
There could be a number of reasons for this:
- They don't want to say the 1DX3 is already superseded by this model when it's only a little over a year old
- They know they can't compete with Sony's A1 on price/features and so have given it a mid-tier designation to avoid direct comparisons
- They feel obliged to release a high-end mirrorless camera and lenses with the Olympics coming up, but don't have the 'real' R1 ready yet
I anticipate that once the R1 is released in 2-3 years' time, this model line will quietly fade away, much like the EOS R was undercooked and quickly forgotten about with the arrival of the R5.
I couldn't agree with you more! We're on the same boat, same experience with Sony. I really wanted to go mirrorles but the A7iii was such a bad camera to me, I couldn't get over it (great tech at the time, I admit, but everything else... as you said).Yes, I think there is no question that Sony has done a great job of marketing, especially with younger folks who are far more likely (I would think) to be influenced by reviewers (and reviews) on the internet and social media. ... ... I'm sure they have improved things, but things I have experienced and read about from photographers over the years make me think that they still are cutting corners when it comes to ergonomics, dust removal, weather sealing, color science, even IBIS. .... If they are invested in Canon , they are not jumping to the Sony A1 or A9 because of a few glitzy specs. That's my opinion.
Haha yeah, seems a bit crazy to want more than that... but I already own an R5 and would only be interested in an R3 if it significantly increased the resolution beyond the R5 (for studio work so I don’t care about the speed side of things at all)Only 50mp.........what a bummer!
Nope just 20mp sorry This is also rumoured 120mp camera .Dual pixel 3 movevent pixel shift =120mpOnly 50mp.........what a bummer!
Yep. Along with the Elan IIe. Still have them both. Great cameras.Wasn't the EOS 3 the camera with Eye-Activated autofocus back in the 90s? Well played!!
There are also some differences in the layout and size of the electronic connections, the bayonet is the same size, but there's more room inside the RF mount. This has been presented as a 'wider' mount, which is causing a lot of confusion.
"R1 is released in 2-3 years' time". We will see.This is the R1 in all but name. It makes no sense to have the R3 as well as an R1 which would have the same large integrated vertical battery grip form factor.

7Dii fans like me don't want to "upgrade" to full frame we want a crop sensor RF camera similar to the R6 for higher pixel density.This could be the replacement for the 7DII if it has the equivalent MP, APS-C pro bodies may now be a thing of the past, if an R7 dosn't come out they will just have to eventully upgrade to full-frame R5 or R3 if they want the latest performance and features.

The R5 cropped is only 17mp which is less than my 7Dii and a high mp full frame RF camera will be even more expensive than the R5 and will create huge files which will be a problem to handle.
A modified R6 with perhaps the 90D's 32mp sensor would be very easy to make and be perfect for Bird photography enthusiasts like myself and I would buy one for sure if it's a similar price to the R6
Bizarre how many people have an objection to any crop sensor RF as if it's spoiling things somehow and no we don't want RF-s lenses only full frame EF and RF telephoto lenses
Canon can easily (and probably will) make a crop sensor version of the R6 and it should be a big seller.
Ok i might be wrong . Maybe canon really making 100mp 30fps sport camera ,becouse they can.Nope just 20mp sorry This is also rumoured 120mp camera .Dual pixel 3 movevent pixel shift =120mp
20mp is enough least 10 year . How peoples view 20mp pictures when 95% peoples got no even 4k computer screen.
I think it could do lot more than 30fps ,but canon thinks 30fps is enough , Then its enough
Well technically the R5 is positioned even lower than the R3 when compared to the 1DX iii BUT for my personal use case the R5 is a way better camera. I actually think the new stacked BSI sensor of the R3 will easily deliver better image quality than the 1DX iii. Probably it just won’t have the 20FPS mechanical shutter. It could be that this spec is the only thing about the 1DX iii that will actually make it a ‘better’ camera than the R3.Canon told you the R3 is worse than the 1DX. Compare that to Nikon that told you to expect the Z9 to be better than the D6.
If you believe the R3 is the R1 renamed that implies you think Canon would release a worse camera to replace the 1DX. Sorry that doesn't make any sense.
Likely the main reason both Canon and Nikon have held off so far is they KNOW the cameras in this class need to be at least a little better than the older DSLR equivalents. I doubt many of the buyers in this market give a damn about looking cool and fashionable with their cameras.

What you’re saying is true, those qualities definitely make a 1DX iii more appealing to someone hanging out of a helicopter! Haha.The things that make a 1DX are different than the things that make an R5. Resolution for the 1DX crowd only needs to be enough. They need speed. They need durability. They need battery life.
An R5 that overheats is upsetting. A 1DX that shuts down gets tossed out of the moving helicopter.
I understand what you're saying and it likely applies to me also but the things that allow Canon and Nikon to charge $$$£££€€€ for these cameras really do matter to those buyers.
Interesting. Since you own both, can you share during which photo event, would you pick the 1Dxiii over your R5 body and why?AS a 1dx and R5 owner I don't disagree. That being said it does have some advantages over the R5
