10. Hope that the EOS-R will have slightly better video quality, or we are doomed! ;)

11. You’d think that Canon would have an official livestream for a launch event, rather than relying on some hack’s smartphone.

13. These events are always a little painful to watch/listen to, but a multi-billion dollar company should be able to arrange a decent webcast..! FFS! (Takes breath, repeats "patience, patience") ...Tech VP says, "The innovation with the EOS R system is not the camera, it is the mount." Translation: Canon really hates the idea of selling this as their entry into FF mirrorless segment.

    Ja, this feels budget. This may be one of many events happening. This one is in Hawaii.

    Tv
    EC (if I heard that right)
