Do I hear $897?
In speaking the truth, I know Canon very well based their past history.
Canon will phase out all EF lenses because they want to start with RF lenses to make a real windfall profitable. They did in 1989 when Canon phased out FD/FDn lenses very quickly and forced photographers to use EF lenses with higher prices. Now, RF lenses are more expensive. It is a good time to protest against Canon for their unprofessional and greedy behavior. Do not buy Canon R series and any RF lenses then they will clean up their business behavior by customers.

You get what you pay for!
That's what everyone always says but it simply isn't true. Few serious photographers would ever buy an A9 over a 1dx or d5. So canon will i troduce their 'flagship' model when it suits them. They have already outdone sony with the eos r for anyone that understands what they are getting. The mount alone makes a Sony second rate let alone the glass that canon has and will produce for the new system. I shouldn't need to mention ergonomics but obviously sonys are s#@t and canons are great. The other details make little difference unless you spend all you time watching youtube videos instead of taking photos.the only camera they are not currently matching is the A7r3 and that wont be far away.
I actually slow down my max FPS on my 1DX2 depending on what I'm shooting. at 14fps, you blow through a lot of frames which just become a pain to sortI would hate it. It's bad enough having to sort through 1000 shots taken a 10fps. I wouldn't want to go through 2000 to pick the 5 or 10 that i would use. Obviously for a working pro it is a different matter but i wouldn't use 20fps even if my camera had it. 15 max.
my guess is:
* 1DX-III as DSLR (Cano cant get fps+AF tracking done in mirrorfree yet) and it is for an especially conservative user niche
* EOS "R5" hi-rez model with 50+ MP, no 5DS/R II DSLRs
* EOS "R6" as entry model, no 6D III
* 7D III as DSLR; conservative birder/wildlife user group and Canon not likely to bring crop-sensored EOS R models any time soon. no more 7D IV though.
now let's see what we get
The change from FD to EF was a major change going from manual focus to AF. This time around, not only is Canon continuing to make EF lenses, but they work perfectly with the new R cameras. Not only that, but Canon has made 3 (not just one) adapter so that your EF lenses actually GAIN in usability. 3 of 4 lenses released for the "R" series are top of the line professional lenses that are not particularly high priced based on their level of performance.
If you don't like Canon, fine - don't buy their products. But don't make up false and unsubstantiated claims against them.
Actually... In this case you get a camera a few generations old that never sold which, I suppose, is getting what you paid for heheIn this case you get a not nearly world class camera, but one which meets the criteria of fullframe sensor and mirror free, and costs less than the threshold price, in a diminutive package no less

They could M50 the R... no DPAF 4kI'm one of the very very few people here, who would be happy with an entry level camera, for multiple reasons. However, I do wonder how it would be lower end? Build quality yeah, Rebel class I suppose. But the FPS and other things I would certainly not want lower than the R... so I wonder what it would go.
Basically, a true 6DII conversion to R, with lip service to 4k video. I think for $500 less, it could be a wi
No top lcd, no twin dials, no touch bar (not saying it should even be included ever again), lower-end EVF, smaller battery, less customization... for 999€. Needs f/3.5-5.6 kit zoom to go with it too.
Edit. wait did I just describe FF M50?
