Canon said to have scrapped at least one DSLR in development [CR2]

@ShermN8r When I needed a small system for landscape photos (in addition to my 5DsR 100-400 II combo for birding and walking) I took a 200D (SL2) with a 10-18 zoom lens. It was worth more than its weight in gold IQ and weightwise

Of course, with up to 8 frames per second on the EOS R and the ability to write to super-fast UHS-II cards, it is a far more capable camera for fast-action work than the 5DSR.

This is a wrong argument:

1. EVF cannot handle the speed of fast action. Just ask BIF shooters.
2. You have to use it in ONE-SHOT mode to achieve 8fps. It is 5fps for AI-SERVO with release priority and 3fps for AI-SERVO focus priority.

"8 frames per second" in One-Shot???

This is one of the most misleading specifications ever, pretty much false advertising.
Try it! Maybe it's possible. Woodpeckers can peck at up to 20 taps per second!
But...Competitive shooters using a finely tuned semi-auto rifle are only getting off about 3 shots per second. Can a competitive photographer do better with a shutter button?
