The C700 GS has been available for some time....
But even if you just mean a video centric MILC requires 45mp I disagree, look at the Sony A7S III.

Let’s talk about the Canon EOS R3 [CR2]

"Phison ships the new PCIe SD Express card SD 7.0 in March, 2021. The card will come in 256GB and 512GB capacities. SD Express cards can achieve speeds of up to 870MB/s with PCIe Gen3x1 supporting content applications and data generated by highly demanding system architectures. Learn more at www.phison.com"
whereas Sony could actually make CFe type A cards and get them into the A1 (remember the memory stick?). Note that 160GB is their largest capacity and type A cards are roughly twice the cost per GB as type B cards (Sony tax
)Sony having dual CFeA slots that are backward compatible with USH-II SD cards is a good idea. The only real restriction is the 1GB/s throughput for type A vs type B. We aren't really sure what the full 8k raw sustained bandwidth is as slower type B cards aren't on the Canon approved list.
CFe type A cards weren't available for the R5 when released or perhaps Canon didn't want to be beholden to Sony's rollout further impacting R5 sales. The R5 HW design would have been locked in well before implementation and CFeA cards were only defined in 1Q2019

The Sony doesn't have a global shutter does it? It's also very much yesterday. Or at best today. Putting out a high end camera with a global shutter today with only 4K support would be a strange choice.

Cannot discount people with too much money and time to buy more toys to waggle it around on the Facebook.

If the R5 in the UK is tipping £3.5K, the the R3 is going to tip around £5.5K. An R1 would probably be in the £8K psycho expensive bracket.

I am not so sure that non-professionals buy such large cameras.Cannot discount people with too much money and time to buy more toys to waggle it around on the Facebook.
Professional video shooters usually have multiple cameras but it would have to have a lot to offer over the C70.
(Internal RAW may be enough)
I find that sports and wildlife photographers tend to carry one big camera and maybe a smaller backup.
Lugging around multiple cameras can be problematic for them.
That does not mean it will not catch on.

You never know, they may be making up for the years of 60-80 hour weeks in which they were too busy earning it to dabble in a hobby like photography.Cannot discount people with too much money and time to buy more toys to waggle it around on the Facebook.

..a shuttered lens, backwards viewing backwards..
Oh my goodness I forgot all about that lol! Every time I look at one of my RF lenses it surprises me to see that. That weird rectangle/light shaper looks like something that just doesn't belong on a stills camera outside of an extension tube, lol.

Yes, a removable eyecup! It has been a few years since I shot with an old 5dm3 and an angle finder, but that was the closest to modern-day waist-level that can be found, and now you cannot do it, I guess. I used to love to shoot that way, taking off the eyecup and attaching the expensive right-angle finder. I keep wanting a removable eyecup nowadays too, or a way to have a viewfinder that folds up on a 90-degree angle, or has a top-down view like the old waist-finders. The FUJI medium format has the flip-up and removable viewfinder, and I had a Canon m3 with the detachable viewfinder that flips up. I would love to see them come out with a body that had removable viewfinders.
Now that camera bodies no longer need that mirror box I would like to see some innovation on body design instead of a camera that just looks boringly like a smaller DSLR. I want to see a removable flat LCD panel ON TOP, not on the back. Why is this such a hard thing to design or do? Why is the current body design, viewfinder, and form factor so locked in? I see that huge viewfinder bump on mirrorless Canon's and it makes no sense. The RP is the only body without that huge annoying VF bump.

I am not a professional photographer, and I own a 1-series body (and several other bodies, too). If the ‘barrier’ to non-professionals is size, why does Canon sell battery grips (even for Rebel/xxxD models)? If the barrier is cost, there are plenty of well-heeled hobby photographers out there (including me).
