Big surprise folks! Our rumor turned out to be true and the Nikon Z9 and Sony A1 the new Canon Flagship model is not High Resolution and High Speed model.

The R1 has a 24MP sensor and looks more like an updated Canon R3, which is rather disappointing. It surely is a superb sports photographers tool but not a jack of all trades. Will we ever see a Canon model above the R1 that has a high resolution sensor?
