The A9 is kinda old now.24MP R3 will certainly become the target for next Sony A9.
Yeah the A9 was supposed to compete with the 1DX. Canon makes whatever they want. Sometimes that is cool but many times that is also bad especially in terms of how open they are with features on their camera. They are becoming more generous though.When will people learn. Canon doesn't release cameras to compete with Sony. Sony releases cameras to compete with Canon and Nikon.
Why? If they want they can go any route just like they did with the 1D and 1DS models.But then they should also give us a "1" in the naming, if it really costs 6000 Euros or more and call the high resolution one "R1S".
26,5 would be better...I think I'll wait for the EOS R3 Mark II with 26MP...
Sure, some are drinking there, others are photographing hereI hear the popping of champagne corks at Sony!
I think the well heeled enthusiast and the pros who don’t have the lens selection or need to go medium format. Of course if the R1 ends up having video specs to die for a $7,000 body is comparatively cheap for that market too.Yes, with the collapse of the professional market for the 1 series, I believe Canon is going to target the R1 (When and if it comes) at the "luxury" market. Clearly the growth market is in enthusiasts who are not price sensitive so it makes sense to focus their top of the line camera on this market. I have no idea what that will mean in specs, because only Canon knows what their market research shows.
Yours should be top post my friend... I have the 1DX mkii and mkiii and also a R5. The mkiii was a fantastic upgrade from the mkii but features and usability alone from the Canon R/ RF series is worth the move.Honestly with owning a R5, I realize the only thing I really need in a camera is an RF mount version of my 1dx2 so that I can go fully RF mount.
It honestly makes sense to view this as an upgrade for people still using the 1dx, 1dx2, and 1dx3 but wanting to move to RF mount.
With that in mind, you're nearly doubling the 16 FPS of the 1dx2 with the R3, on top of the durability of limitless electronic shutter, RF mount lenses, new huge and super fast EVF, built-in wi-fi, the TouchPad AF on button, a 4 mp increase, tracking focus, flip screen, the list truly goes on.
All that put together, it's honestly a compelling upgrade for 1dx/1dx2/1dx3 users. I'm sure at 24 megapixels this is going to be a blistering fast and responsive camera that gives you the same responsiveness as a DSLR, and possibly a similar sort of battery life too.
I don't honestly need anything more out of my 1dx2, but it will be an incredibly worthwhile upgrade for me to get a similar camera to the 1dx2 but with an EVF and RF mount.
If Canon didn't make a camera that was a direct update along the lines of the current 1-series, what would those users feel comfortable upgrading to? A lot of that market isn't looking to deal with 50 mp files at 30 fps.
Now that they have the R3 though, I think it frees Canon to do whatever they want with the 1-series and not have to strictly worry about that market.

My thought process as well. Even though I expect to take a hit on the 1Dx III, it's worth it to me to be able to consolidate everything into a single mount and one set of lenses. I can reduce my bodes from three to two and gradually shift over my lenses. Selling the EF lenses will reduce the overall cost of transition by a small amount.
I’ve told this tale before but my first serious digital camera was a 1D with a lowly 4mp. I put an image in for a magazine and they wanted to use it on the cover, they emailed me and asked if I had a 10mp version? So I uprezzed the 4mp to 12mp and sent it back to them, they were delighted and the image got the cover...After reading all the posts in this thread I feel I must have really pulled a fast one on Audubon Magazine when they used one of my bird photos shot on a 1D mk III with only a lowly 10 MP - If they only knew...

It confirms one thing: that the camera is capable of producing 24Mp images, we don't know wether this is the maximal resolution of the sensor, is it the maximal size in 30fps bursts or anything else for that matter. the fact that Canon keeps that number as a secret and "allows" such speculations to come out just proves they did their "homework" in generating a hype for this camera.
