Canon R5ii & R1 : Orders being taken.

So according to that interview Canon kept the R1 at 24MPs so they could get 40FPS? Ok Canon, Sony managed to pull out 120FPS at 24MPs and did 30FPS at 50MPs 3 years ago. Back to the drawing board.
We could chalk it up to poor choice of words – the Canon rep also said later in response to

‘what’s left for the EOS R3’,
“Obviously, the EOS R1 is the flagship product, and we wanted to surpass the capabilities and possibilities of the EOS R3 . Therefore, in some areas, the EOS R1 is better than the EOS R3. However, we still think that the EOS R3 is the most balanced in terms of performance. ..”

Or, we could consider buffer size, where according to this article,

“But buffer depth is also an essential factor. This is where the a9 III’s top speed comes with compromises, as the camera can only shoot at 120 frames per second for less than a couple of seconds. The R1, on the other hand, has a greater than 1,000-frame buffer depth. Further testing will be required to determine precisely what the RAW+JPEG buffer is, but it’s a very safe bet that the R1 will capture more images and shoot for longer at its top speed than the faster Sony a9 III. ..”
