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

...I'll be waiting for the reviews and for the price to fall to the A73 / Z6 levels before getting one (maybe a refurb a year from now?).

I think the missing of IBIS turns off a lot of potential buyers. This is a big misstep from Canon.

It may come in a later model. What is written in stone is the mount, which is great.

The mount had to be redesigned to fit an ML body anyway. So a new mount is expected. Yeah, they did the right thing. It seems they made it flexible and expandable for some future lenses. That is a good move.

However, a new mount without a promising road map is not convincing. I want to know what new RF lens offers they are working on, how soon they will be available and even better, the price range of the potential offers. I wish Canon had announced their RF lens road map like Nikon and the other manufacturers. That will get many of us more excited and will probably make the purchase decision a little easier.
