So its rumored to cost 1600$. Will they dig out the undesirable 6D2 sensor to drive this bargain? In an era where Sony delivers its very best at every try and risks self cannibalization to stay competitive; isn't this crap getting a bit old? C'mon Canon.... don't leave us out in the cold again :'(
I agree. Most Canon user would defend the move as it's good for business. Sony is also rumored to reduce $200 for their A7III to $1800. They also have trade in as well.
$1800 camera for IBIS, better eyeAF, dual card slot although worst EVF and LCD screen.
Canon has a history of trailing behind the competitions in features. Their camera release is pretty disappointing in many ways like 6D II that had a MSRP of $2000 to $1200-1300.
I bought 5D IV and EOS R (return it). They are both good, but nothing amazing. EOS R do a lot of things better than Sony (EVF, ergonomic, control ring adapter, fully touch screen articulating screen LCD), but some of the thing worst while being more expensive than A7III (eyeAF, dual card slot, no joystick, IBIS).
I'm really tempted to by Panasonic S1 - dual card slot, dual IS, ergonomic, Sony sensor, good color, good video options, eyeAF with deep AI tracking, and Sigma will release 14 L lens with EF-L adapter this year.
I'm in the market for my first FF mirrorless this year. I'm holding on the hope that Canon will offer at least IBIS, newer sensor, better continuous eyeAF, and dual card slot, but I set my expectations accordingly.
