Is there any precedent to something like that?

Making sure that before the new R50 announcement soon, to wipe off completely all M6ii bodies, lenses and parts, off not only Canon but also Amazon, B&H, Adorama, etc.?
new as well as refurbished?

Even by cutting prices aggressively, and dumping huge amount of new as refurbished? (My 2 newly bought refurbished M6ii are both looks new with only 300 shots)

Only explanation that I can think of that the new replacement might be inferior, or cost triple, or combination of both? Any other thoughts?

Was there anything like that before ANY previous announcement???

It is not just M gear getting big discounts. The Canon refurb site also has some massive discounts running on R gear too. For example, the $599 RF 85mm f/2.0 is going for $299. The EOS RP that sells new for $999 is discounted to $599 as a refurb.

While the RP may be due for a replacement, the RF lenses certainly are not. Canon is clearly just trying to dump excess inventory. Secondarily, Canon may also be trying to prop up sales numbers as their fiscal year ends with the calendar year. Canon had fairly positive predictions in their previous financial statements this year and they may have needed some extra discounting to make those predictions a reality.

In normal retail channels such as B&H, i.e. not refurbished, M and R gear are not getting these massive discounts. This points to Canon USA just likely just having too much refurbished inventory sitting on the shelves.

I took your advice when the M6II first went down to $549 and got one.

The count was 0 so either someone reset it or it had not been used.

I have been clicking the heck out of it.

They are still in stock,  black ones too for $549.

RP for $599 ?   Happy days !
