If your goal is shooting tight portraits of birds on sticks then yes you’re correct. If you like to include environment and your main concern isn’t just filling the frame with the bird then resolution honestly doesn’t matter that much. I’ve owned the R3 and R5 since they both were released and after getting the R3 I barely ever used the R5 and basically all I shoot are birds.
Upscaling software also continues to get better and better, I’d like to see comparisons between low light shots from the R5 II and the R1 upscaled to 45MP.

In other words it is not a birding camera. Unless you are sitting at a feeder or just happen to get a bird flying bye, or foraging close. About 30 seconds of 24mp is not enough for birding, then on with the review. If you are a birder you want the MP, if you are a sports shooter 24 is enough. Doesn't matter how great the rest of it is, it is not even a discussion. What this is, is who do we give the camera to for review so a few suckers in the birding community will buy it.
I would venture to bet the R5 II will be hands down the best overall birding camera. Why? MP! With the R1 when cropping you will get a mushy mess of no detail.
Fair enough, I tried the R1 at the local store when Canon was there giving it the push. I would not have one, but I am interested in detail more than anything. I want a record of the bird with as much info as I can extract.
