    I notice the difference in resolution between the R5 and the 5Ds R.
    There are applications that the extra resolution is helpful. There are applications when it is not.
    One thing I noticed with the 5Ds R is how well the resolution improved my weak lenses. With a great lens like the 500mm it didn't help nearly as much.
    What would be "ideal" IMO is to have both a high mp body and low. The tradeoff of lower fps and noise for the higher mp body is more important.
    What I wanted was the 1Ds IV but Canon had other ideas.

    So I choose nothing in the survey, if you add a line for both high and lower mp bodies, or even better a line "Ideal MP for what I am shooting" I could choose one of those.

    True. As we are trying to make this a 2022 update, let's assume with the current, better enhanced AA filters.

    So, I can add an option, but am trying to see what people actually want in terms of sensors. So, by "high" is that 45 MP or 80 MP? By "Low" is it 20 MP or 35 MP?
