To Everyone Complaining about the R6 Launch Price:
The EOS R launched at $2300, or $3400 with the RF 24-105.
You can now pick it up for $1500 new, $2300 with the RF 24-105, less than two years later.
Launch price is always the absolute highest price a camera will ever cost. It's designed to milk all the impulse dollars you coked out wall street corporate raiders have to spend in a futile attempt to fill that empty void in your soul. And then there are photographers and videographers who need the equipment now, for work, not for play, and don't really care what it costs, because it's just a capital expenditure to write off their taxes.
Anyway, there is literally no doubt the R6 will drop down to at least $2200 by the holidays, and likely hit the magic $2k price target by the end of next year, at the latest. If it's a 3-4 year product, it will probably hold that position through 2023.
