I'm a very happy owner of an R5 camera with 4 RF "L" lenses, including the spectacular 100 - 500 mm zoom lens. I can afford an R3, but continue to choke when I remember the price ($6000 US). I simply can not justify that price given the resolution and overall capabilities of the R5.

Then today, I see that Nikon's Z9 is priced at only $5500 US and I wonder what Canon is thinking now. I'm surprised that no one on this forum has mentioned this up to now. Before Nikon's announcement, I was thinking that Canon's price for the R3 is very aggressive. Now I think it's just plain arrogant.

In the UK Park cameras Nikon Z9 is £5,299.00 the Canon R5 is £4,299.00 + battery grip £419.00 + 2x batteries £228.00 total £4,946

Not only does it make the R3 expensive even the R5 is way over priced.

The Z9 is too impressive to ignore for me.
