Man do I wish Canon would do this exact thing. I'm jealous that Nikon at least confirms lofty plans and gives their customers even a silhouette of what's next.

I'm *far* more excited by the rumored Canon line-up, but it would be super nice to see that line-up told to us in official graphics with silhouettes to agonize over :LOL:

I think I'm in the minority here, but I'm much more excited about the Canon 100-500 than the Nikon or Sony 200-600. Starting at 100 just fits my kit better, and that small size makes it so much more attractive for my use, even if the price of that is an extending barrel and 7.1 aperture. Still though, to each their own!

But the Canon one has 100mm less, f7.1 aaaand is over 1/3 or 50% more expensive then the Sony!

More expensive (>3.000€ is huge!) -> less photographers use it. Nice for those who can afford it^^ ;)

For me it would be also enough to have a 300-600 f5.6 ^^... for eveything else you could pick up other lenses :) (70-200 / 24-105 or 120-300 2.8)

Yes, of course if you do a lot of hiking the 100-500 fits your needs better. For my birding attitudes each mm of focal length is wellcome. Also it is tooooo much pricy
Btw.: Great shots on your site.

I totally agree! I can see how 200-600mm is tempting for birders and wildlife, but I can hardly see any use and it is very bulky compared to the RF 100-500mm. The Canon lense is much more versatile and when wanna shoot wildlife at long distance I'd pick up a 800mm F11.
