Here are some examples of mine (stuff I did years ago - my tastes have changed a bit) that I hope will illustrate what I am explaining above - apologies for the off-topic departure

- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
So close to perfection! If only those photos were taken with a 35mm f/1.2.......

I know right? Instead of a lowly EF 24-105 f/4L IS (mkI)!

What is interesting is that Canon (and Nikon?) has reduced the size/weight (-16% volume/-400gms) of the R3 body vs the 1DXiii. I don't think that anyone would say that the body needs to be unnecessarily heavy but good to balance larger lenses. The smaller but still ergonomic R3 would have provided good feedback to Canon if the R1 size would be similar or not.

Yes but in some ways not really at ~50% higher price, the RP still could be considered as a separate model completely. Certainly not today's tech but still excellent value for money in my opinion.

The RP launched at $1300, the R8 at $1500. Both saw discounts of $200-300 within the first year after launch. Today you might consider that the street price of the RP makes it a separate model, but IMO that's not a fair comparison. The 1D X III lists for $6500 and the 1D X II now lists for $3000, the former is clearly the successor to the latter despite the >100% price difference today, and I'd argue the same is true for the RP and R8 though the difference is much smaller.
The R8 even uses the same grip extension. Practically speaking, it IS the RP II, they've just fit it into the newer nomenclature.

The Canon engineers has really been restricted to what they were able to provide on the 5Diii, Magic Lantern blew open the possibilities. The work involved for Digic X on R5 would probably not provide the same level of features that are not already there. One thing I miss is a ETTR option.

We've had this discussion before and I don't consider launch price to be relevant to what is in the market today. Coming up to a year since R8 release and the RP is still available. Why not leave it as a price/performance segment if it is still selling and making money.

Don't worry, in my opinion, with expanding dynamic range, it's better to use pan focus. The way you tightened the contrast also reduces the artificial feeling I get with higher dynamic range photos. So, I think you should feel good about them and I enjoyed seeing them.I know right? Instead of a lowly EF 24-105 f/4L IS (mkI)!

Maybe the result of translation.~550 posts so far... I wouldn't consider them "answers" though
