It’s similar with the R5 and the 5DSR. Despite the R5 having 5 Mpx fewer and also having an AA-filter, I find it sharper as Canon claimed and which I didn’t believe in advance.

Canon EOS R6 Mark II – Here are some more specifications
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
Yes, I remember reading that the 1D cameras had better circuitry around the sensor compared to 5D's and other models, resulting in "better" internal signal and less noise.
I am not sure how true or material that was, but the reality is that I've never felt that the 1D X was inferior to the 5D mkII because of those lost 3mp... on the contrary.

Last quarter Canon wrote: "However, due to Shanghai’s COVID lockdown, we have seen a new round of parts shortages, which has led to some delay in production of mainly printing equipment and cameras."

A term made up by the marketing department to describe specific in-camera cropping ratios, a/k/a Digital Zoom to specific crop factors.

I came from the 5D mkiii. I absolutely love the pasm dial instead of the LCD screen. Don’t miss it at all. Actually my previous 3 Canon cameras had it. That was probably the only hesitation instead of the r5. I don’t need 45 mp and now that I know the r6 is so programmable I’m so glad I bought it.

China is not doing itself many favours with their zero covid policy and subsequent lockdowns. They can't let it rip until they can better vaccine efficacy rates and I don't think that their sino-vaccine has much protection against Omicron. Waiting for their second generation vaccine and then physically getting it into the population will take some time.
In the meantime, supply chains will seek to decouple themselves from China for a myriad of reasons. China will still be a massive manufacturing centre and their developing internal market will be significant vs exports but I think that the rest of the world is becoming very wary.

I am only stating that if the R6 II comes out before R1, I would not expect a stacked sensor in it because it would take away a key selling point for Canon's flagship.
Stacked sensors will eventually trickle down to R5, R6, and beyond, just don't see it happening this quickly in the R6 II.

Canon also has to take the competition into account, and stacked BSI sensors are becoming more widely used, from the OM-1 to the Z9. I know Canon has a justifiable reputation for not being the first to market with the latest technology, but this is moving into the mainstream.

Canon is pushing hard on the "R3 is not a flagship" message and the R3 has a stacked sensor. So if the R1 has a stacked sensor, it already has competition from non-flagship cameras in that regard.

Thats because the R3 WAS supposed to be the "Flagship" By the time they got to production other companies, ie SONY has supposed changes coming to their new lineup that forced Canon to have to change gears on what the "flagship" was so this is now being walked back.

that makes no sense. It just seems as if Canon needed a sports camera for the R Series. It's too close to the older 1DX3 to be a next gen flagship and doesnt have Dual CF Express.

One thing to consider is Canon does not just have to compete with its line up, but with the competitions line up.
Even if they put a modified R3 sensor in the R6ii, it still will have firmware handicaps in order to keep the R3 a more "professional featured" body with more advanced bell and whistles. Like a faster shutter speed, buffer speed, 4k 120, CF Express, etc.
The truth of the matter is that Sony released a response to the R6 with the A7iv. The only real edge the R6 has over the Sony is the minimal 4k 60 crop, otherwise in my opinion the Sony has an edge on most of the R6 features.
Sony is releasing the A7Rv in 2 weeks. Since the R5 is 2 years old, it would be safe to assume that its rumored new processor and 8k would give it an edge up on the R5.
Canon has been sitting in second place and Sony is ready to release updated bodies.
It would be safe to assume a Sony A9iii would be next and will probably one up the year old R3.
Once the forever rumored R1 is released, a Sony A1ii will be coming out right after to outmatch it.
Canon either has to take an aggressive approach and maybe take a margin hit to bring features like a fast readout stacked sensor to their lower tiered bodies before the competition does in order to keep the ecosystem alive and not lose more people switching to Sony. Especially when Sony has lenses.....
Now a consumer would have the choice of a stacked sensor R6ii over the A7iv until the next A7v releases in a few years.
Or they wait for an A7v first and then release an R6 to one up it. But by then the other bodies in Sony's line up would have out shined Canon's.
Hence why I think Canon will finally go on the attack and try to push new product out faster and first.
