If this is true I will totaly skip the R3 and hope for a better model which finaly offers photo AND video in one body without crazy limitations like the constant overheating....
The Italian video guy had the battery life at 3,500 real life shots.Honestly, I was thinking about this all day.
I was just looking at the buffers of all the recent cameras on The-Digital-Picture:
View attachment 199216
Perhaps at 24 megapixels using the CF Express Type B Canon can ensure a 1000+ image buffer at full-quality, full-resolution 14-bit 30 FPS? I think there's a strong case for 30 FPS at 24 megapixels in that scenario. The A9II only has a 361 image buffer, and I honestly think the moment a former 1-series user hits a camera's buffer, they're going to wish they were using their old 1-series.
It also could mean that the camera has more processing power to ensure a super responsive, zero blackout, 240+ fps viewfinder throughout shooting 1000+ full resolution images. Reliability and responsiveness is probably the number one request from most 1-series users, and I will say that sometimes the R5 does get a little laggy when you're shooting huge 20 FPS bursts.
Add to that, 24 megapixels would be less of a drain on the battery life.
All that said, I think there's a lot left to know about this camera even if it turns out to be 24 mp. I'd be interested to see the battery life, viewfinder buffer, responsiveness, and any other new features they pack into it before I dismiss it at all.
I think they would have a different diffraction pattern, so you could notice they are different, but probably not guess the line density.A 24 mepapixel sensor does not look different from a 45 megapixel sensor.
I was there with you.Bummer. I was eager for the utility of extra resolution for cropping that has spoiled me since using the R5 in favor of my 1DXII. I thought 30mp was a nice sweet spot.
My main concern is the weather sealing. My 7DMkII has coped with some very wet weather with no problems (sometimes better than me), unlike my 40D, which did not like that sort of treatment. Hence 1-series protection on the R3 sounds appealing. Where does the R5 fit on this scale?Get yourself an R5 - it beats anything for birding that Canon has ever produced, and let those who want 24 Mpx enjoy what Canon is providing for them.
But where’s the camera that took it?It's a mirror image and out of focus. Hope it wasn't taken on another R3.
I believe the R5 weather sealing is supposed to be as good as the 5D which was supposedly better than the 7D (but less than 1D). I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.My main concern is the weather sealing.

Like what????Crazy limitations like physics, huh.
It has to be very good judging from a member's experience in combination with the fact that the temperature is not easily dissipated. These are speculation of course but I would trust my R5 in rather bad weather conditions (worse than I would trust myself without an anorak or an umbrella! )I believe the R5 weather sealing is supposed to be as good as the 5D which was supposedly better than the 7D (but less than 1D).

Processing video data generates heat. That's why the Canon C70 includes a built-in fan. The downside is that the fan makes the camera "fat".Like what????
I'm not sure I understand that reply, as I said:Unless you are using it in the rain R5 with withstand.
Is there very wet weather, that is not rain?My 7DMkII has coped with some very wet weather with no problems
The weather sealing is a step up from previous: see https://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2020/09/taking-apart-the-canon-r5-mirrorless-camera/ And very early on someone posted a video from a well-known pro lauding the weather sealing.My main concern is the weather sealing.

For cropping reasons. Very often we have to crop the shit out of some files. 24 would be a no go for my needs. It has to be 35 ish for me to bite.For professionals shooting sports (or news) for print and internet media, why would they need more than 24 MP? Things like frame rate, autofocus, low-light performance, etc. would be much more important. It seems to me that Canon aim their high-end cameras towards these professionals, not towards amateur prosumers and enthusiasts.
