Canon R5 Mark II is announced

[Kayaker72]

I always advocate that you should shoot to your need. It is pretty easy to see someone with a R3 conclude that their needs are fulfilled.

The quest for the best AF and Sensor.
Looking at the definition of "need" one of them is this as none of the others really apply:

a thing that is wanted or required.

With that in mind, it obviously doesn't have the same mp as the R5's
But the R3's is substantially better.
Canon wouldn't put the R1 designation on a body because of the AF system, or so I read.
If the R1 AF is a major improvement over the R3 then it might be worthy.
Primarily fast moving action subjects such as BIF would be the standard as "wanted".
