Yes but I'm talking about native, real time handling. That way the sensor could be rated to the true amount of pixels not half as all dual pixel sensors are now.
Quad-Pixel AF and a global shutter coming in 2021?

The R1 is not really a follow on for the 1dx III, it is a transition platform to new technology direction. Canon released the R5/R6 to establish the beachhead and prove the technology. Even if the bulk buyers are not clamoring for a mirrorless, any company with an eye to the future is already evaluating the mirrorless alternatives. If Nikon releases a flagship mirrorless and Sony updates the A9 III (at least they already have an offering) Canon can't afford to miss the early evaluation cycle. Canon seems to keep things pretty close, so they would not want a lot of evaluation units in the field. My guess is that most of the bulk orders for the EF 400 & 600 III have already been placed and release of an R1 won't have that much impact. I believe there was a rumor that some of the RF mount big whites would be out this year, so that should take care of your concerns about RF lenses. If not, expect a weather sealed RF - EF adaptor to allow a transition.Those are not several things but 6.
R1 was not released as the surveyed bulk buyers and other 1-Series customers from 2017-2019 prefer SLRs.
That may have changed within the last 52 weeks but the question I'd pose is is Canon willing to take the financial lose of Osborning the 1D X Mark III and Series III EF 600/4 & EF 400/2.8?
Now, if Canon released a RF 600/4 & RF 400/2.8 in 2018 instead and R1 in 2020 instead then that would have been better.
I have no doubt that the MILC tech for the R1 has been there for more than 2 years already but what is needed to support a 1-Series body is the appropriate lens and accessories for it. Thus far only the three L f/2.8 zooms are there. No white long fast primes.
Nikon themselves admitted that their transition to MILC was slow. By my estimate by 2 years. Canon was late by 1.
Sony timed it perfectly. Their FE 400/2.8 came out in 2018, FE 600/4 and a9 II came out in 2019.
I don't think Canon will wait until 2024 to release an R1, although it may not start shipping until 2022 based on the factory delays.
I would love to have one for my Namibia trip this year!

That's why I have strong doubts about the R1.
R5/R6 are the direct replacement of the 5D4/6D2 as they're spaced out by 4 & 3 years respectively unlike the R1 that will be spaced out by 13-24 months?
On a camera this size is the SDI size really going to be an issue?
The problem with HDMI on this type of camera is it's not really designed for field use. A camera with extreme weather sealing and all the other hard life features this sort of market demands might/will be better off with something other than HDMI.
You are assuming one of several possible interpretations of quad pixel.
What if "quad pixel" were to be actually much like dual pixel except that a significant number of the the dual pixels used for AF are vertically oriented instead of horizontal? In the same way "cross-type AF points" in DSLRs are actually a horizontal set and a vertical set of AF lines superimposed over one another? One set of vertical and one set of horizontal dual pixels would give the appearance of quad pixel AF capability. This is then greatly simplified if the raw files only record to composite values for each dual pixel group (the way most DP cameras record raw files) instead of recording the values of each subpixel the way the cameras capable of dual pixel raw can. Since the 1-series has been significantly lower resolution compared to the 5-series since the 1DX II/5D IV were introduced in 2016, I don't think it would be that big a deal to most potential buyers.
Most precedence went completely out the window in 2020 with emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the economic fallout from that.
My thoughts exactly. Can't wait to use on camera fill flash on a sunny day for group portraits at 800mm.
There would still be the limitation of the length of time needed for a full power dump by the flash. The larger the flash, the longer a full power dump takes. So while sync would be much easier to manage, available power would still diminish with shorter Tv as the flash would become more like a continuous light that stays on for longer than the total exposure time.
Essentially that is what a standard raw file from any Canon camera with DPAF is. Each half of each dual-pixel is combined in the raw file. Only when one records the files as "DP Raw" files are the values saved separately.

The digital 1-series has no mode dial, all the way back to the original 1D in 2002.
They were selling Rebels hand over fist when they made that less than 1% statement, too. The lower end of the ILC is drying up fast. The 1-Series will need to be more than 1% of Canon's future market for the 1-Series to survive.
If he always has to be right in real life the way he does here, he ain't ever getting married.
It will be the EOS R1. What's so hard to understand about that?
The EOS 5D Mark IV became the EOS R5
The EOS 6D Mark II became the EOS R6
That's before one must consider that the EOS EF mount numbering system was not the same as the FD mount model numbering system.
The EOS-1 was the EF mount equivalent of the New F1 (Yes, "new" was an official part of the model name) that was built like the T90. Take your pick.
When Canon went from the FD mount to the EF mount they went from letter-number model names to number-(sometimes letter) model names. When they went from film to digital, they added the "D" after the numbers. When they went to the RF mount they placed the R before the numbers.
It's not that hard to understand. It really isn't.
It's not a marquee event concentrated in one locale/region over only a 2-3 week period with multiple sports having events every morning, afternoon, and night. There are nowhere near the same number of total events, much less that number of events in only a 2-3 week period.
The FIFA world cup, including the qualifying rounds, is spread over months at various locations around the world. The tournament involves 31 games spread over about a month for an average of one game per day. The Summer olympics has at least 30 events every single day for 2-3 weeks spread over every summer sport imaginable. It's not the same at all.
64 Ws? That's puny compared to the current battery powered flashes offered by ProFoto, Godox, and others. 500-600 Ws is the current standard. Even the Godox "pocket flash" AD200 series puts out 200 Ws.
Only if the flash is fast enough to keep up. The more power a flash has, usually the longer the duration of the flash to do a full power pop.
Those are not several things but 6.

What if the EF 600mm f/4 L IS III and EF 400mm f/2.8 L IS III are really the RF 600mm f/4 L IS and RF 400mm f/2.8 L with EF housings on the back end?
Nothing past 200mm gains any advantage from the shorter registration distance of the RF mount. None of Canon's Super Telephoto EF lenses have rear elements that come close to the flange ring.
Sigma, Tamron, etc. do this kind of thing all of the time.
