Like I said, If Canon wants to be aggressive against the competition, and not behind them on the features list, the CR3 rumor might be true that it could have a variation of the R3 Sensor in order to one up Sony.
To be clear, the 24 MP sensor is a CR3 rumor. The use of a stacked sensor (e.g. that in the R3) was a CR1 rumor that CRguy now deems 'probable' (which is not the same as the near-certainty of a CR3 rating).
You sounds like the DRoners of a decade ago, harping on about how Canon was not competitive on low ISO dynamic range and since Sony and Nikon had sensors that were so much better, Canon was d00med. Meanwhile, in the real world, Canon went right on gaining market share.
If Canon wants to be aggressive in the marketplace, more lenses will need to come out next year, the competition has high level primes ready to supply to the demand.
Canon has already announced a planned rate of 8 new lenses per year for the next 4 years. That would give Canon the approximate number of mirrorless lenses as E-mount lenses Sony has made (and that's the total count, including several lenses that have been replaced by MkII versions).
Just because I hurt your feelings doesn't mean that we are not all waiting for Canon to finish establishing a complete mirrorless ecosystem.
Hurt my feelings? Lol, be serious. I don't care if you're waiting for Canon to build out their system or not, nor does Canon. Sony has had much more time to build out their FF MILC system, since they pioneered the format as mainstream in 2012. It's not a coincidence that Sony moved to FF MILC in the same year that Canon entered the APS-C MILC market, in which Sony was a major force at the time. About 5 years after its launch, the M system became the global best-selling MILC system. Last year, about 17% of all ILCs sold globally were Canon M-series bodies/kits.
So forgive me if the truth hurts and I call it as it is and say that as of right now, Sony has more appeal than Canon does.
That's your opinion, to which you are entitled. It's fine that Sony has more appeal to you. I do wonder what you're doing on a Canon gear forum if that's the case. You should be out using your new Sony gear.
As I already stated, Canon's recent mirrorless growth has matched Sony's. That means the fact is to the buying public, Canon's mirrorless system has just as much appeal as Sony's. If you consider cameras overall, Canon actually gained more market share than Sony did last year, meaning overall more buyers are choosing Canon than Sony. You are entitled to your own opinions, but not to your own facts.
