I got mine for $200 less that this year's price. I think a part of it is the supply chain, and also, I think that, at the time, Canon was being fairly aggressive about getting their mirrorless system established -- building a consumer base for the future. Whatever the reason, $1200 for a very capable camera with a great sensor was too good to pass up!

Well if you got it for $1200 that is the price I’m interested in. Can you share where you bought it from?

That was the Black Friday price from B&H, in 2019. So, literally, they had a better deal when the camera was newer, than they do now. So, really can't help you now.

That said, if you already have a Canon camera, you could get pretty close to that price, by getting a refurb R, and calling in for a loyalty discount.

Yes, in 2019 I also got my EOS R at thaat price but did sell it when I got th R5. Now I realize I should have held on to it to use as a backup. I hadn’t thought about a Canon refurb and the loyalty discount. I am a CPS member so I should look there. Thank you.
