If you follow Mike's definition, the grip isn't important nor is having a sensor. After all, isn't a sphere all around, too?Of course they do. But unlike Nikon and Canon, their flagship lacks an integrated grip. Does than make it a non-traditional flagship?
My guess is Canon has determined it is more profitable to sell R5 & R6 series with the optional series of grips.
I agree (obviously) that increasing resolution would have adverse impacts on speed, everything else being equal.
Are you sure that moniker doesn't belong to the R100? Maybe it's another non-traditional definition of flagship...Canon's best mirrorless camera that is not compatible with RF extenders or the RF 85/1.2L DS.The R3 is the true value flagship!
My vote is still for the R100 as flagship. It’s the only Canon without an AA filter, and as Sony, Nikon, Fuji et al will tell you, that’s an important advantage for quality and resolution.The R3 is the true value flagship!
Yes indeed. The absence of the AA filter means it’s the only Canon that can match the (AA-less) opposition head to head. The fact that it’s probably cheaper to build a sensor without the alias filter has nothing to do with it.
Well, it has a 1 in the name so it must be the flagship PowerShot camera. About time, it's been >20 years since the last PowerShot flagship camera. Not sure, though. It doesn't have a hyphen in the name. I thought all Canon flagships needed a hyphen. The V1 doesn't have an L-series lens, whereas the Pro1 did.
V1 doesn't go down well here because too many came over in 1944-5.Well, it has a 1 in the name so it must be the flagship PowerShot camera.

Oh, wait...the Pro1 only had 8 MP and the PowerShot V1 has 22 MP. But the 8 MP sensor was made by Sony, and they know what a real flagship is. So now I'm thoroughly baffled. Is the PowerShot with the better lens the P&S flagship, or is the camera with more MP the real flagship?
Maybe there is no true flagship. Damn Canon for constantly and randomly changing the definition of 'flagship'. It's hard to keep up.
Yes but there can also be other constraints as well.
While a grip may not be necessary in a camera that a pro can grab and know it will meet their needs regardless of what the job requires, I'm pretty sure a sensor is.
Interesting that he talked about quadrupling the number of pixels being the point where there is compromise needed and not the level of the R5.
I always tell my Dealer to do this stuff, I didn’t register my cameras and lenses.My apologies, I was following your logic about the flagship film camera... So now those were not flagships? I don't want to put words in your mouth! What exactly were you saying?
