Re: Get R now, wait, pass, or switch?

Same here, I would like to get it, but I think the price is too high at this point. The $1900 that were rumored would have been a much more suitable price compared to the competition.
My prediction is, according to the public echo the R system gets right now, the prices will probably drop as fast as the ones from the 6DII. (Its initial price dropped from $2000 to $1600 in just half a year).

So I probably wait for the festival prices (black friday and so on) and see if there's some good offers, otherwise wait till next cashback campaign from Canon.
But it will definitely be the replacement for my good ol 6D Mark I, whichs AF is terrible (basically just one AF point is useable). I've been thinking about changing to Sony or Nikon but the cost of changing my whole lens lineup and accessories like flash triggers would exceed the cost of an EOS R big time.
