Yes, of course from a pricing point of view. But what about camera features? It appears to me that the R3 will be an Alpha1 with a pro build, built in grip and Canon ergonomics and at least 45mp. Therefore a worthy sucessor to the 1Dx3 as an action camera.In this order of professional - and price:
This really isn't that difficult to understand. Perhaps the fact that neither 1. nor 2. are out yet is causing the confusion.

Global shutter! AF point linked spot metering. Lower MP, amateurs might ‘need’ them but many pros know they don’t only not need them but they don’t actually want them (until 5G actually works). Higher built quality, weather resistance and durability (shutter cycles etc).Yes, of course from a pricing point of view. But what about camera features?

So what could an R1 bring? If the above is true, I can't imagine that the R1 will be sports oriented. Too much overlap in features with the R3. Instead I expect it will be a high MP (100+) studio camera with global shutter.

All the pros I shoot with have a slightly different mindset. The only thing that matters is, NOT missing the shot. That's it. Sure, reliability plays a part, but I can't remember the last Canon body that failed on me (even going back to a Rebel XT in the solid rain with no cover or weather sealed mount). The bodies are pretty well built. Quite simply, the pros I shoot with, want a body that doesn't get in the way and offers them the best opportunity to make the shot. Also, all the pros I shoot with buy their own gear, so it has to be a good value as well. Meaning features matter to them. Its different as an agency photog that checks gear out, but these guys buy their gear and its got to make sense for the use case and well for their personal needs.Global shutter!

Most amateurs (certainly forum dwellers) are feature driven, most pros are reliability and familiarity driven, if exactly the same camera was available with less features but was considerably more reliable and durable, and more expensive, some pros would buy it.
In Germany, a wellknown website (Idealo) has published 2 different "offers" by retailers for the R3:
- Euro 7299
- Or, even worse, Euro 9999 !!!!!
Sheer madness...
And no, these generous offers do NOT include the RF 1,2/35.
Is Canon going the Leica way?
They just sound like placeholders to me.In Germany, a wellknown website (Idealo) has published 2 different "offers" by retailers for the R3:

Is Canon going the Leica way?
I'm afraid they are...(preorders)I doubt any retailer is in the position to publish prices just yet. All they're likely doing is updating the website to get ready . It's not unusual for shops to do that with inflated prices.
Are they even taking orders?
Also my opinion, but they take preorders...maybe they'll correct the price afterwards.They just sound like placeholders to me.
My guess is that the R3 will be more in line with the A9II as far as MPs and price (no 8K). The R1 will be in line with the A1 as far as price and MPs (8K) but may also bring advancements like global shutter and/or QPAF. Canon already said dual-pixel AF for the R3 in the official press release so QPAF is not coming to it.
It's about 4200eur.Also my opinion, but they take preorders...maybe they'll correct the price afterwards.
Yet, knowing how expensive Canons are in Europe (EOS R 5's lowest price is about Euro 5300!), 7300 even -sadly- seem realistic.
Here in .nl the R5 street price is €4549, grey import takes it down to €4200.It's about 4200eur.
