I just don't understand 24mp sensors at this point. Why? Even print photographers can use resolution to crop into. There's tons of use cases for higher pixel count. I suppose speed and storage are reasons for smaller sensors. But storage is cheap, and there's plenty of fast cameras with higher pixel counts (see, every Sony sensor ever).

Yes, I know that many prefer cameras without top LCD, or even without an EVF.
While I consider both to be essential. It may depend on my carrying system or just habits. The exception to this "rule" being a Leica M where I can see from above the shutter speed, the ISO and the diaphragm without having to raise the camera to my eye in order to see in the EVF these settings.
So, for me, no camera with "internal only" reading of these settings.

This again? I just don’t understand why people persist in believing that they understand the camera market better than the company that has led that market for over two decades and dominates it today.
If there are ‘tons of use cases for higher pixel count‘ (for you), then you should probably buy the R5II or one of those Sony cameras (but not an a7S III, I mean how stupid is Sony to put out a 12 MP camera, am I right?!?
).Of course, Canon has only one FF camera line with >24 MP yet they have steadily gained global FF MILC market share, and may surpass Sony this year (Canon did so in the USA last year). So evidently there are plenty of use cases for 24 MP cameras. The fact that you are incapable of understanding that is irrelevant.

Lol. I read this garbage. Then I looked at the screen name and just laughed. Just move along. For an alleged "neuroanatomist" you're 1) not that smart, and 2) an ass.This again?

Well thanks for adding so much value to this discussion and these forums. Your posts exhibit the intellect and maturity of a petulant toddler. I think your mom is calling you, time to head up from her basement for a snack then a much-needed afternoon nap.

You seem to be attracting these people somehow.
Always fun to see a new guy getting triggered to mars and start shit talking here.

Yeah, such people generally aren't worth the time it takes to reply to their drivel. Almost inevitably, they continue to make asinine posts that make them look ever more foolish.

Sony only has 2 camera that's fast & high MP. That's a1 and a1ii.
I'm sure everyone can afford them right.

I have a Canon R5, an R5 ii, a Fuji GFX S100 ii, and a Leica M11. The lowest resolution is the Canon R5 with its 45 mp. A 36mp sensor must be roughly $5 more than a 24 mp sensor. (Made up data. But you know it isn't much). Canon hasn't hit 50 mp since the Canon 5D SR - which I also had. I know many people don't need it. But why not improve resolution over time?

Is the top display a spot you can easily reach while holding/using the camera? I’m all for more programmable buttons (the R1 has an M-Fn3), but I’d prefer them in spots I can easily reach with the camera held to me eye.
Personally, I can easily live without the top LCD. Could be because I started with a T1i/500D that doesn’t have one.

Speed and storage are two fairly significant reasons. I'm a wedding and event photographer. If I shoot 3000 photos with my R6, it's 60 GB. If I shoot 3000 with the a7R III (42 mp), it's 120 GB - twice as much space, and then the extra processing time.

Ahhh, the ol' megapixel debate. Canon designs a few cameras around large groups of buyers, not ala carte for individuals. In their market segmentation, they may well have found that the majority of people that want the higher megapixel camera, also want a group of other features. This is what leads to the segmentation of the R8, R6, R5, R3 and R1 FF bodies. Canon's results show they have a pretty good handle on the market segmentation, no matter what any of us think. The 6Dii and 1DXii met my needs. I did consider the 5D S at one point, but took the 1DX instead. Now I'm now using the R8/R6ii for a lighter carry while still debating if I actually still need any of the features on a higher end body. I haven't been reaching for the 1DXii much lately.

Yep, but I have large hands, and I realize that wouldn't be the same for most. And fwiw, I'm not really advocating for Canon to make that change. I was illustrating that I went from the "omg my camera is unusable without a top LCD" camp to "do I really need this thing?" Just food for thought for anyone making a change from a DSLR.
Tangentially, I loved the ergonomics of the my 5dmk3, so I was surprised at how much I feel Canon improved the r5m2. I'm absolutely enamored with the power button being on the right side. Swinging the camera up to my face while powering it on and zooming in on my 100-300 when a ball is put in play during my kids' baseball games has become an incredibly smooth motion.

Funnily enough, I sprung for the R5 (Mk I) over the R6 because I had the same thought. Only to be surprised as well. But to be honest the top LCD also isn't the greatest implementation. Contrast is low and I find the text to be rather dark and small, probably because the screen is a grid of pixels unlike the older ones. Inverting it helps, but only works temporarily and resets (why!). Also it times out a bit too quickly.
And as you say the power button on the right is great. The one thing that still annoys me about my R5 (Mk I) is the power button on the left. I remember people telling me "it's no big deal" and "Canon has the best ergonomics", but my old Nikon had the power button on the right and it really is the better place to put it. Seemingly Canon now thinks so too.

Better to have audio (also „bad one“) then no audio! I record my 3years old son sometimes with it - and to change between 120fps without sound and 4k60 with is annoying and you miss moments while changing -.-
