Canon R1 - At 80MP - Would You Buy It?

[LogicExtremist]

Hey guys, there's a bad DPReview kind of vibe creeping into this thread...
The OP asked a question, directed to a specific segment of the membership here, some have answered.
Whether you think the question is a good or bad one is another matter, if you think it's helpful to the OP to express that concern, then try keep it civil!

Please keep it civil by not posting attacks on DPReviews.

Please keep it civil by not posting attacks on DPReviews.

Perhaps I should have omitted the adjective that implies a value judgement, and just posted a more neutral statement that lets people draw their own judgements on the example I'm comparing against, such as "Hey guys, there's a DPReview kind of vibe creeping into this thread..."
That way, people can make of it what they will.

I'd like to ask a question, to a very specific group of photographers, I hope this does not offend anyone.

To answer this question, you must be a professional Sports Photographer who has shot sports with a D6 or 1DX or 1DXII or III AND to supplement your income at times you shoot within other genres. But at least 75% of your income should come from sports

QUESTION:

If the Canon R1 allowed you to shoot in a range of 6MP to 80MP based on your creative needs would you consider the latitude in resolution, positive?
YES or NO

If the Canon R1 allowed you to shoot in a range of 6MP to 80MP would you use it for Sports and other Genres?
YES or NO

If the Canon R1 allowed you to shoot in a range of 6MP to 80MP would two CFExpress card slots complement your workflow?
YES or NO

If the Canon R1 allowed you to shoot in a range of 6MP to 80MP at 16fps RAW and 20fps JPEG would the enhanced resolution still benefit your business/studio/you
YES or NO

If the Canon R1 allowed you to shoot in a range of 6MP to 80MP would you be able to market your sports photography to a wider audience for larger format work like in-store displays, bus wraps, car wraps, billboards, outdoor banners, digital out of home displays, venue walls?
YES or NO

Do you currently earn above $500.00 per photograph used at sporting events to include Olympic, Professional, Extreme and College Level Sports?
YES or NO

Based on your total Sports Revenue what group would you consider yourself in as an individual or the sports agency you work for?
A. Less Than $50,000 USD B. Between $50,000 and $200,000 USD C. Between $200,000 and $500,000 C. Between $500,000 and $1,000,000
D. Between $1M and 2M USD E. $2M to $5M F. Above $5M to include gross revenue from all your photographers on staff.

1.) Yes though it's not negative, 2.) Yes, 3.) Yes, 4.) No, 5.) Wrong question. Greater MP allows for greater flexibility & isolation of the "subject" within sports images, 6.) per single image... No, 7.) Individual & B
