High-resolution EOS R Camera, Where are you?

[Michael Clark]

It is f/5.6 with the teleconverter active.
That would be 1 full stop since the RF 200-800 is f/8 at 600 mm.

If one stop is the difference between 1/500 and 1/1000 it's the difference between noticeable blur in the hands and feet or not for many sports.

It never ceases to amaze me how many folks can't wrap their head around the idea that looking at a 50MP image at 100% is a higher magnification than looking at a 24MP image at 100% on the same screen.

I am 100% with you

Those who had waited for a higher MP (if needed) have likely switched to Fuji GFX if they don't rent a P1 back. Shooting mainly architecture on a tripod...I switched to a demo original GFX100 at the start of this year for an absolute steal...looked untouched for $5000 AUD. Colour and editing, are slightly more annoying as I still need to perfect this....as well as the odd grain I need to also need to add in post for retouching. I still have x2 5dsRs (just sitting unused & as a backup on a shoot) & a R7. The R7 suits me fine for when I do the odd portrait / branding / action gig. Would likely sell all my canon bodies for the R52 - as I don't think anything more than 60mp would be required. I'd only consider the Canon high MP body if it had dynamic range near the GFX system, but may not be possible on a FF sensor.

Everything you wrote up to this one sentence is no longer relevant. All KB-Sensors could not reach the gain of a medium format sensor. The pixels have a greater diameter and the pixelspace is geater. All of them are related to the performance values like S/N-Ratio and Sensivity.
I would like to have a 60MP resolution on a ff format sensor in a body like the R5. Wenni compare the 5Ds with the R5 pictures like doing macro photos, the 5ds pictures looks more naturaly that the R5. I own both and some other canons. The R5 hase some advantages. The sensivity is higher, the noise is quite less and the EVF is an advantage for me if i am do macros. I can see the motiv outdoor even the sun is bright. The OVF digital systems are designed and optimized for the automatik focus use-case. Manual focus operation is not good supported. The all misses a traditional focus screen. for bodies like 5DM4, 5Ds and later, this is not available to buy and mount as an add-on.
And yes, all the lenses needs to be in good quality too, if the sensor resolutes more than 50MP., to so the advantage on the picture at the developing process.
Canon had decide to be an expensive system. I yould not buy Canon again, as long they not license their RF Mount to third-party lense buildes like Sigma.
Actually they had done this but only for the APS-C Systems. I assume, they don't want to build better lenses for APS-C and let Sigma and Tamron doing this.
The next System will be a Sony A7R5 or newer. Actual, my R5 and the R are the two bodies i use in most cases. I have all lenses that i require - EF-Mount mit Converter of course.
