I don't think you really understand how that is not relevant in this comparison.
That only works at full resolution, which doesn't translate into final output size. All that is telling you because of the higher res you are getting more noise. No disagreement there. But it's not super helpful in this comparison. My point there is not a lot of loss in efficiency with adding extra pixels, at least not in the 45 to 50mp realm. Modern tech has minimized this significantly.
As far as the FPS and resolution are concerned. Sony was able to do 30fps, with some caveats, at 50mp. Remember this is being touted as a sports camera, to me this is the new standard for a pro sports camera in this price point. 24 is just not being very competitive in my opinion. I'm sure the R3 is an absolute monster in every way, but even with using the 1Dx III. That was my major gripe, resolution. Even though I loved that camera to death in every other way. I was grabbing it more often than the 5D IV even though it has more resolution. I had said before if this had 30mp, I'd be so much happier with this combo and it could actually make it a viable all rounder instead of being as niche as it is.
And if Canon is indeed developing an 85mp camera, that would make sense for a high resolution monster. Fuji already make 100mp offerings.
I realize not everyone has a need for high resolution, but as tech progresses higher quality comes with it and Canon is still living in the past and Nikon and Sony defiantly got this part right.
After seriously looking at the Sony and Nikon offerings. I just can't switch, it's a personal choice just because I can't see myself shooting anything else. Canon gets everything else right. So I'll just hang in there, but I'll be all to happy when they release a 50mp or higher offering for the pro market.
