What do you hope or expect it to offer? What will it take to buy?

I ask because it seems to me the ‘pro’ features we all want/expect can be fount in Sony’s entry level a7III.

Well for one, for it to not be a Sony.

Is it supposed to be a factual answer?

I’m curious as to how Canon is going to charge more for features found in Sony’s $2k entry level camera with a straight face. And will people actually buy it?

Probably track record, stand up service,

Which track record? Do you think there is for consumer product (not CPS) any service difference compared to Sony? Could you elaborate?

works in bad weather,

Any source about weather sealing of the R being better than Sony A7III / RIII?

massive lens line-up,

You mean the 5 lenses just announced? Against the 155 FE native lenses?

Are do you speak of adapted lenses where Sony has obviously much more also because it takes ALL Canon EF lenses, plus all the other brands?

existing user base,

THAT my friend, means that you are happy being screwed up, which is kind of a strange argument to make.

biggest 3rd party ecosystem

Like?

You guys are just misunderstanding each other.  Keith is talking about the 5d4 not the EOS R.   The 5d4 does have better weather sealing than the A7iii, has a larger lens lineup,  and has lots of third part lenses as well.   I get that you are looking at the RF system, but he is not.
