That‘s your option.
Mine is different.
Time will tell.
Of course we‘ll see price dropping at the end of the life cycle.
But not just because an R1 above the R3 is released.

Let’s talk Canon EOS R1, the flagship of flagships?

Or the R3 was a one-off and there won’t be an R3II.
Or the R3 moves downmarket like the R7 vs 7D and becomes basically an R5 with integrated grip.
(Edit) Or they go retro and put an APS-H sensor in the R3. (I’m joking- maybe?)

As someone who has slowly transitioned to the Mirrorless phenomenon I love the images my R3 produces. A year ago I had the 1dx and 1dxmk2. The 1dxmk2 produced amazing images compared to my 1dx and now the R3 produces better images then the 1dxmk2. I’m glad to see the differences and improvements. I am intrigued about the R1. I just don’t have the funds to purchase the R1. I think I will be able to get by with the R3 but I will certainly look to see if the R1 is that much better then the R3. And if it is. I will try my best to budget for the new R1. In a perfect world to save on cost I am glad to see the batteries will be interchangeable. I was hoping the memory cards would be the same. I’m sure the need for quicker read/write speed is more important now then ever. Can’t wait to see what the R1 will produce.

I think Canon's designers like to try out new things. The EOS R's multifunction bar is an example, as is the R7's quick control dial placement at the top of the camera back. If they're well-received they will be used on future cameras, and if not they won't.

I am firmly in the camp of "the more mp the merrier"
I shoot fashion with an 80mp MF digital back and if I could afford one with 100mp or 150mp I would have bought one already.
I just do not understand all the people on this forum and others that, since they are happy with 24mp or 45mp or whatever number, seem unable to accept that there are other people that would be happy with more resolution
. There're plenty of FF cameras from 12mp to 60mp on the market and I think there's room for one at higher resolution.Having said that, I am preparing myself for disappointment in terms of the resolution of sensor the R1 will sport. Everything else may be stellar and I will evaluate when the R1 specs will be known.
I had a 1D X and really liked it, but I am also very happy I moved to the R5, since I appreciate the increased resolution and better AF. And I used to love the EF 85mm 1.2L mkII but I have all but forgotten about it since I have started using the RF 85mm 1.2L.
As others, I do not think Canon will price the R1 at 10K, but, in reality, until we know the full spec list (and until some of those specs are tested in real life, especially if the R1 will contain some new tech like a new sensor or a new AF or something else), discussing whether a certain price point is cheap or just right or outrageous it's just good fun on the fora, nothing else

This does appear to be lens-dependent. Optyzne does controlled tests of reproducibility of AF: the RF 70-200 f/2.8 is superb but the RF f/1.2 is much worse on the R6 II and R6 - the older model seems better.The big improvements for me are much better eye detection and tracking and keeping the lens properly focused. When taking pictures of my kids the R8 is much better at keeping the lens correctly focussed, the M6II and R5 tend to drift when shooting a burst. The situation where I see this the most is when I take pictures sitting across the stable with the aperture wide open (e.g. f/1.8 or f/2 for RF, f/1.4 for EF-M). On the M6II about half the pictures won't have the iris in focus, while the focus square claims otherwise. The R5 is much better, but the R8 manages to improve on that.
Having said that, I'm starting to suspect that this hits STM lenses a lot worse than nano-USM lenses, especially with fairly static scenes. When renting the RF50L I don't recall having this issue, but I wasn't using 20fps ES back then
As for dragonflies, I've only managed bring cameras to dragonflies once this year, but I didn't try mounting the 100-500 to the R8 to compare it with the R5. With the RF100L it did seem to detect the eyes as, well, eyes a bit more than the R5, but not much noticeable difference in AF.

But people complain about Canon AF and/or claim that Sony and Nikon are better. Sigh.
There's certainly going to be some variability but the reality is all of these systems are basically excellent. Especially for those of us who shot with manual focus and a frame rate that was determined by how fast you could move your thumb.

The AF on Canon, Nikon and Sony is bloody marvellous. I remember those days when you couldn’t advance your 35mm and hitch a ride at the same time.

Let's be real, cameras never live up to the rumored hype, ecspecially Canon. Canon has a way about making a camera that is almost good enough with a purposeful dificiency that one of their other cameras makes up for. The larger rear display if true might indicate better video capabilities, just what we all need, another video camera.

I'm not the one fantasizing here, just the plain truth. When the rumors for the R1 started it was supposed to have 100mp, now it's 45mp.

Yeah, I thought it was going to be 200 MP so I’m twice as disappointed.
You believe every rumor is true? Did you know gullible isn’t in the dictionary?

Would anyone mind explaining Global Shutter and QPAF to a noobie? Also perhaps how those features would be beneficial to a bird photographer? Thank you in advance
