Will the "new focus sensor" be usable in live view -- and will a variant of it find a home within a future EOS Rx?
Now I'm wondering more about the specs for the rumored "pro level" EOS R.
I had hoped for an EOS "Rx" announcement before the 2020 Olympic Games that would become an attractive upgrade from the 1Dx2. The announced 1Dx3 specs in an Rx would be great. But, Canon needs to sell a bunch of 1Dx3 bodies before introducing an Rx that could deflate 1Dx3 sales.
Will the long awaited "pro level" EOS R be a sports body or a successor to the 5D4? This could be a great wedding body, especially with a truly silent shutter. Or will it be a successor to the 5DS for commercial work -- and for Peter Hurley?
Sony is trying to push the A9 into the sports arena. A pro level EOS R will be measured against the latest A9, so I suspect that it will be positioned as an attractive upgrade from the 1Dx2, but not a true competitor of the 1Dx3. (This does put mean that the EF to RF converter must preserve the image quality and focus performance of existing EF lenses.) I'm still expecting an Rx to make some sort of splash at the 2020 Games. If so, it has to be a sports body.
