Do we expect the EF adapter to work with third party lenses? Not sure how these things usually work.

Where did you read no crop in 4K?
The price is $2.299 and eye-AF only works in AF-S mode. The lenses are very expensive and the camera itself is also expensive taking into account that it doesn't have IBIS, a very low battery life, single card slot, 1.6 crop in 4K.

+ It's using the inferior Canon sensor, it can't push shadows at +5EV
Yep I've already figured the price
Among existing Canon FF owners, I think 5DMkIV owners won't upgrade to R (some may consider it as a secondary camera). There's no or little point to change 5D4 for R. Flip screen is the only major advantage. I think R fills the gap between 6DMkII and 5DMkIV, but it's closer to 6DMkII. So 6D or 6DMkII owners may consider upgrading to R.
For those who don't have an FF, R is a great option to start. R is more expensive than 6DMkII but so much better in all areas. If its price drops to around $2000, it'll probably kill 6DII in a while.
But I have no idea how/if it's going to compete against Nikon Z6. Apart from IBIS, Z6 is weaker, and the initial Z lenses are so-so, but it's all cheaper.
Another potential rival, A7rIII has better specs but much more expensive, it's a different category.
So my feeling is, the current price is a bit too much, but only a little bit. But Canon has much more powerful marketing department than my marketing intuition, so I bet this camera will sell well.

Quite good summary and conclusion, IMO.Among existing Canon FF owners, I think

Secondly.... 10 bit 422 with C-Log .... that can only be recorded externally... YES! Finally! LOL. That means we finally get the long awaited 4k HDMI output! I'm hoping maybe we finally get some sort of firmware update for the 1DX2 to unlock that feature as well (it has an artificial ceiling of 1080p)

What do you mean? IQ?...
Now I just need to see how much the 28-70 f2 is lol

Is the 1DX 2 HDMI ceiling artificial? I was under the impression it was using an older HDMI protocol.
