I personally chose to purchase two R5 M2 cameras instead of the R1, while selling off two R3 units. The R5 M2 encompasses all the key features of the R1, along with an improved 45 MP sensor. As a sports photographer, the R5 M2 has proven to be a changer for me, offering a lower price point compared to the R1, and allowing me to crop much tighter than ever before while retaining exceptional detail. Based on your post, it appears there were no significant leaks, merely speculation We should await Canon's offerings and proceed from there.
It sounds to me like Canon is planning to kill the R1 sales. Sony has already done this but it sacrificed dynamic range for straight golf clubs. If Canon can overcome this conundrum, they'll have a winner on their hands and will be pretty much killing off the R1. Well, I guess they could charge $8,000 US for the R3II which makes the R1 still attractive, regardless, this doesn't bode well for the R1's future. We'll have to wait and see....
This post is pure speculation. Anyone who really believes that Canon is going to kill off R1 sales is likely mistaken. I agree that a full frame DGO sensor would be phenomenal, but if Canon had the technology they would have released it in the R1 in Nov 2024. Maybe the R1 Mk2 in 2028?

But the R5II is not as fast as the R3. I have both and the R3 is better for sports.

Rumors just don't make sense.
Just making stuff up, what a waste of time: clickbait
