The next Olympics isn't until 2028, so what can we expect from the next flagship cameras that will capture them?

The next Summer Olympics is still years away, with the Games taking place in Los Angeles in 2028. But camera manufacturers will most likely be busy trying to capitalize on this time to release their flagship sports cameras to show off what their state-of-the-art tech is capable of at the world’s largest sporting event.

So, with plenty of time between now and then, I thought we could have a bit of fun doing some crystal ball gazing and pondering what sort of new technology the likes of Canon and Sony could be cooking up with for their next-generation professional cameras that would replace the likes of the Canon EOS R1 and Sony A9 III.
