Canon EOS R5S will be a 300MP monster, coming in Q1 2021 (report)

UPDATE: The Canon EOS R5S will apparently possess "total resolution 'north of 300MP'" using pixel-shift technology, according to the latest reports.

It had previously been reported that the Canon EOS R5S (its informal name, given that it is based on the Canon EOS R5, though it has also been referred to as the Canon EOS RS) possesses a 90MP image sensor and is already a "finished product" being field tested.
