It seems everything is increasing in price. OK if you bought 2 years ago and now selling but for the majority, like myself, I am puting off buying.

Canon can charge what they want in these scarce times and still make nice profits!

Remember, top end smartphones used to be under $500. And then they slowly breached the $1000 mark. And now I am seeing $1800+ phones. Crazy, isn’t it

i can quote similar from many tech industries, but the bottom line is while it does get better in terms of features, it isn’t immune to inflation when it comes to top end gear. Canon isn’t alone in this. If Samsung who manufactures their own chips at scale and have huge R&D pockets cannot keep it under control, camera manufacturers won’t be doing much better
