This time, it really IS overpriced.

Alright, Now that that the Canon EOS R has been officially announced, this begs the question. Will you be buying one?

Just changed to 'probably will NOT buy.'

I'm not normally one to whine about pricing, but between the X-T3 and the Z6, the Canon is severely overpriced.

If I WERE to buy it, I'd probably just get the R and the adapter, then pick up used EF lenses. The same would hold if I were to buy the Z6...just get the adapter and a manual 28mm Nikkor.

The thing is: with the Nikon, I'd have IBIS. So while the video might not be as good as from the R (Canon's video really is great, even if spec-wise it's underwhelming), the Nikon's built-in stabilization would yield more opportunities to pick up shots.

So:

Jury's out until I see comparable footage from both.

***And FFS, Canon, immediately do what everybody knows you'll do in 6 months time: provide and instant $400 rebate and bundle the body with the cheapo EF-R adapter.
