YepLike you do?
i guess also january-february an announcement of the successor of the 1dx or photokina 2019 (8. - 11. Mai 2019. ) an then 5dm4 replacment ...I suspect you are right about the second body not being ready yet, but rather than cede the market completely to Nikon for the next 6 months, decided to release what was ready now. That is a good marketing decision. It hooks the early adopters now, and gives hope to those who want something more.
Complaining about people complaining isn't any better than the original people complaining.
It's not unreasonable for people be upset when they have to pay more for fewer features. Especially for a ILC where for many people, switching to different systems means you're gonna take a bath. Canon has the largest budget and could, if they so choose, put out a camera that beats the competition. Of course, no one is immediately putting their gear up on Ebay today, they're going to wait for the announcement to see everything, but it's not unreasonable for them to be disappointed at the currently known information.
Canon will charge you, everytime for accessories, like grips. They are well known for having a lot grips for almost for every camera model. Sony and Panasonic have kept the same size over the generations, so grips or cages are compatible from one to another model. This translates in less money on garbage. Because accessories become obsolete first. My C100 mk Ii shoots 1080p @ 35Mbps. This is a 4 year old technology. But they will sabotage us with insane bitrates, but less quality, in DSLR/mirrorrless crippled cameras. But supporting only UHS I @ over 400Mbps... I think is not possible.
You’ve obviously never used a mirrorless camera then.I would like to move to full frame, but I don't see any reason here not to wait until I have to replace my 7DII in two or three years.
Until we see a proof or commitment from Canon it is just another assumption. I see it bit differently and I'm still quite angry about RF lenses rumored for the new camera. If they released them for EF mount, they would still work on EOS R with adaptor but we all could enjoy them on our existing cameras. This way anyone who wants to use it also needs new body.
My assumption:
EF will continue for sure. It is unlikely for now that Canon will start doing big whites in RF mount but unless we are going to see new 50 or maybe even similar 28-70 (or 24-70 2.8 IS !!!) for EF in next year I don't see any proof of your assumption.
Another big question is how this affect cadence of releases. Up until now all L lenses were built in single factory which has limited throughput. If they will need to concentrate more on RF lenses to add more native glass for new mount, there will be less EF releases.
And what about future of DSLR? What we see in EOS R is 6D Mk III without mirror. I doubt there will be any 6D Mk III. If my assumption is right, FF DSLR line will shrink by one model. Will it follow with 5D? I assume not immediately but if Canon moves towards mirrorless we will see reduction of DSLR offering to few models for people who really want them - all others will go for mirrorless. Again that would point to less EF lens releases.
Sure ... the fact that IBIS would allow customers to choose the Sigma Art lenses with higher resolution and much lower price tags, and still have IS, has of course nothing to do with it at all.
1. Is this the rumored "lower end" model. It better be. In fact it HAS to be. There's one slot. QED.
2a. If not, what happened to the all the promises from canon this year about bolstering specs to stay in or even ahead of, lol, the mirrorless spec race?
2b. If the answer to #1 is yes, then skip 2b. If the answer is No, where is 4k60 which arrived to market share thieves 4 years ago?
2c. Sub-sampling. Is this 8 bit 4:2:0? I bet it is. See 2a.
3. Not that I care if the answer to 1 is "No," but out of sheer morbid curiosity, what will this camera output via HDMI? Shudder.
If you don't want to know its price before making a judgement, why not pronounce immediately?Things I want to know before pronouncing this camera DOA.
Yes impressive, no IBIS though? Is that Canon being stubborn about lens IS as the best?
Yes I was looking to see if IBIS was implentmented maybe it will be on the second camera that Canon is planning to release.No IBIS is sad, but if those lens selections are true, I won't care.

FFS I'm pronouncing it dead FOR ME.I'm perplexed as to why you think anyone would care if you pronounce it DOA. That's the role of the marketplace, not individuals.
fanbois will defend it, saying "5D IV-class sensor and better video" without mentioning the "functionality nerfing" all-around.
it really seems Canon had planned to launch 2 cameras, just like Nikon (Z6/Z7) but could not finish the higher-specced body in time.
Most likely yes. In terms of mount geometry adapters are possible for many types of legacy lenses.
Whether EOS R will take images then will depend on whether or not there will be "electronic requirements/safeguards" telling the camera that "a [proper] lens is attached" and on adapter makers ability to meet or spoof any such requirements if they exist.
But in all likelihood, yes.
