wouldn't it be better to fix the complaints people had with the eos r camera and come out wit a new improved mark 2, instead of bringing out a tonne of lenses to attatch to a product that still doesn't match up to a sony a7iii.
I'm glad that Canon is pushing out so many high quality RF lenses because it shows its commitment to the system. Does anyone remember Samsung's foray into cameras? They had better stuff than Sony at the time, but they the exited the market. Lenses define the system, and Canon's choice in releasing a bunch of RF L's is showing that Canon is preparing for the long term.
I'd rather have the R with the RF lenses rather than the choice that Nikon made with compact/slow lenses launched with the Zs. Canon's "problem" can be fixed by releasing 1 or 2 bodies, whereas the Z7 doesn't focus as well as their D850 and costs more. Why would a person buy a Nikon? For f/1.8 primes or a f/4 zoom at higher prices than their F mount equivalents? I jumped into the R system because of good pricing during the holiday season and because of the lenses. It's grown on me -- a lot more than I expected. I swapped the EF 35 f/2 IS for the RF 35 f/1.8 IS as a compact walk-around setup, and have the RF 24-105 and the RF 50, and I'm sure that many other R adopters did it for the glass as well.
With the RF 35 f/1.8 IS, 50 f/1.2, 24-105 f/4 IS, and 28-70 f/2 already available, and the RF 16-35mm f/2.8, RF 24-70mm f/2.8 IS, RF 70-200mm f/2.8 IS, RF 105mm f/1.4, RF 85mm f/1.8 IS, RF Macro lens, RF non-L kit lens coming soon, that would cover the majority of the needs of most photographers. Add in EF compatibility, and there is more lens capability in the R system than there will be in the EF system. And then, Canon will just have to release a couple cameras to win over the 1D/5D users.
