It wouldn't make sense to follow up a low-ish resolution pro body sports camera with an even lower resolution pro body sports camera.
There are many reasons why a 300/2.8 won’t work and a 300/4 will. Size, weight and cost, for example. The same logic applies to a 70-200 or a 24-70 zoom.
That has to be the most ill conceived least knowledgable and ridiculous comment I've ever seen here, and I've been here a long time and seen a lot of stupidity. Well done, you have won the internet with your vast knowledge of what everybody else needs.
I think Canon will consider the R1 to be their Flagship professional sports camera as they've already stated that the R3 is not their flagship model and is not a replacement for the 1DXiii .
Canon also said at introduction that the R5 was NOT a replacement for the 5DIV, and yet it is.
Stop replying this guy, it's just a nasty troll...That has to be the most ill conceived least knowledgable and ridiculous comment I've ever seen here, and I've been here a long time and seen a lot of stupidity.

With Canon's baked in RAW NR. There is bugger all difference between their DR. DR is no longer even a concern these days.
Well we have no idea how fast it's scan speed is, the A1 is 1/240, the A9 1/160. The R3 will be a first gen stacked sensor, itmay have much lower DR than the A1, more like the A9. The faster clocked ADC's caused more read noise in the A9 which is why it's DR was only on par with the 5DIV. The A1 is more like 14.5EV. I'll be happy with anyhting over 13.5EV DR from the R3 and 1/150scan speed, but hopefully they can do 1/200 or faster.
We don’t know that. I don’t see a 24mp camera as making much sense the way technology is going.
SDexpress continuous write speed will probably be as fast as any of your CFexpress cards or when Xsfering to a PC. Canon is on the memory card committee. They are fully aware of what will be happening in the memory card arena. There is only 4 manufacturer cards compatible and tested with Canon's CFexpress bus for high resolution video that wont give video recording flags. Basically a crap shoot. And they arent sold locally at Best Buy either
I don’t really care either way, BUT the reality is that every process requires compute cycles and power resulting in a series of trade offs. While you are correct we have new technology it does not provide unlimited capabilities. A Lot of that new compute power has been absorbed by things like AF, AI, iBIS, etc, etc. You are looking at a component because you place value on resolution and forgetting these are complex system EFFECTIVELY delivering capabilities we only dreamed about 10 years back. It is also clear you may not understand market segmentation. People will vote with their dollars when the product is released and you have 1 (2?) votes like other buyers.
Just my guess but a lot of professional sports shooters would prefer 40fps and 24mp (or even 45fps and 20mp) over 30fps and 30mp as capturing the exact crucial moment like a bat hitting a ball or a diver just entering the water is more important to them than a small gain in resolution which has no noticeable effect on the final image but does slow down your workflow.
Two things I am missing in this spec, GPS and ISO range. Well, three things, also the cash to get one.
