Where is the RP going to fall into the R3-6 lineup?
Likely, both the "R", & RP will be/are one-time stop-gap camera,s and not fall into standard Canon lineup.
This...I don't think the R and RP will not see Mark II versions. Canon has figured out a strategy going forward with naming similar to the DSLRs. R6 will be in 6D class, R5 in 5D class and likely an R1 eventually. Not sure if they will also do a higher than 45MP R5R or R3 (R3 seems a better choice).
Unfortunately if the R line dies that also gets rid of the 30MP sweet spot (IMHO) skew. We might be seeing a ~20MP R6 and R1 with a. 40-45MP R5 and then maybe some 60-80MP R3 (R5R). Of course if Canon knocks it out of the park with the 45MP R5 sensor then maybe I'll be happy with that anyways. I've been fairly happy with the 45MP D850 and am becoming more and more happy with the 60MP A7RIV lately. Still I do like a 20-30MP sensor for lower light.
My dream would be a ~30MP R1 paired with an RF 600 f/4 DO but that probably won't happen.
I didn't mean an end to the "R" series, just to the current R, & RP.
The TechRadar/Canon Interview suggests that there will be series of "R" models similar to that of the DSLR line, & SLR lineup prior to that.
