Maybe the R5II will be 24 MP.
But in fairness, a question was posed by @AccipiterQ, "Why would you get an R6 when you already have an R5?"

Canon EOS R5 down to $3399 (Reg $3899)
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date

Ok. It just beats me why people justify or question why they or others want a particular resolution when it’s so obvious.Maybe the R5II will be 24 MP.

Well, We just went to my grandson's first T-ball game. My OG R won't be fast enough for long. It would also be beneficial since I'm focal length limited. Alas, it isn't meant to be right now. Gotta wait for the end of the R5 Mark II cycle.

Guess I'll wait for the R5 II (and for HUGE discounts on the R5). Provided my bank account doesn't interfere with my GAS.I really hope for that - my bank account doesn't (but not for an R5)
Edit: Unless the "Summer Promotion" offers a dirt cheap RF 100 macro (Nemorino convinced me!)

I doubt that specificlly the last part: ''The Nikon Z 8 may change that shortly". Have you checked this nice article? Based on its specs and new features IMHO - even with Z8 on the market aside from the fact that their CMOS would be stacked - nothing so "pushy" for Canon to release R5M2 any time soon :-(

I had an R5 that I preordered and arrived on Day-1. I eventually sold it after I picked up a mint R3 on Ebay that a guy was selling for $4800. After using the R3 for a week, I never wanted to use the R5 anymore. Primarily I shoot kids sports, and the R3 excels at this. The 24mp images are more than enough for me. I also picked up an R8. It is a perfect companion for the R3 when I want to use two different lenses, or if I just want to carry a smaller body. I'm loving the prebuffer shooting on the R8. It works exceptionally well for baseball and getting the ball on the bat. In this regard it is superior to the R3. I REALLY REALLY hope that feature makes it to the R3 via firmware...

For everyday use, the R3 will remain my go-to for the ergonomics and performance. For me, the R8 will be a travel camera – FF sensor in a very small/light package, if I bring the M6II on the trip (or one of my kids does), shared batteries. I'll generally be shooting with mechanical shutter for the full bit depth, since I won't need the speed.

I'd rather that they were "more aggressive" in pricing, and "more aggressive" in releasing lenses.
I don't regard cameras such as the Sony A1, Nikon Z9 or the upcoming Z8 as being superior to the R5, or of "passing it by". They are alternatives, better in some ways, inferior in others. Overall, I still consider the R5 to be the "best" FF camera on the market, even 2 years after launch.

I responded to a comment asking why would one choose R6 over R5 for motor sports photography. R5 would be my camera if I shot lower number of photos. I typically bring 2 500 to 5 000 files from big events. High resolution is a disadvantage for such line of work. The few shots that do need super resolution can get enhanced in Lightroom.
Shooting in studio or session photography etc - R5 is a killer.

A $500 price drop + battery grip seems aggressive to me
though could always be a bit cheaper given its a few years on.
