I had expected it to be more than €3000 for the RF 135, so I'm pleasantly surprised about the price for once :)

So Canon already has got their customers so far that they see it as good news if a new lens costs less than €3000 :)

That reminds me of Apple which convinced its customers than a $799 iPhone is cheap.

Business as usual...
- Raising exaggerated expectations ( $5500 camera's features in a $3000 camera )
- Being angry or disappointed Canon didn't meet one's pressing demand
- Canon bashing, what else?
The cycle is complete, only threatening to jump ship is (till now) missing.

Edit: we now have one declared ship-jumper !

Go somewhere else if it pi$$es you off.

Looks like th camera got some solid updates. And of course it didn‘t have a stacked sensor that costs more than the entire camera, people need to ground expectations. Stacked sensors will come out of the flagships in a decade if at all(improvements to fsi and bsi sensors may make them good enough that stacked sensors remain for only critical applications)

NOOOOO! What I was affraid of, happened.
Canon is charging absurd prices again.
The EOS R6 mark II is 2990 euro’s in Europe.

STOP Robbing us! Just charge 2495,- like the dollar price. Keep your promises!
How many times does have to be posted: the US prices are without sales tax, the EU and UK have about 20% sales tax added. €2990 is about $2490 when the VAT etc is removed. The price in the EU is the same as the US without taxes. But, the UK gets robbed by Canon EU. Our price is £2799, which equates to about €3250, a mark up of 8.5%.

The Canon Tax in the UK is +15% (£340) vs the US price.

Canon are charging £1,000 more for the 135mm f1.8 than Sony.

I'm glad the battery life was improved from silly 380-510 shots to 450-760. It was my biggest complain. I also hope it doesn't drain much when the camera is turned off. For me this camera is all I wished for when Mark I came out. I'm not gonna upgrade. Instead I'll wait for release of R5 Mark II and upgrade instead to R5 mark I if the price will go down.

Maybe Canon did the prices for UK while Truss was still PM.
