But if history is any guide, there will be more … sometime.

Sure, some of them were, but this time it feels different. This was a fire sale - 'dumping' of stock unlike anything we've seen before from Canon, and the end of the line for a lens mount, which hasn't happened for decades.

This feels like a plan to lock folks out of considering, or comparing, new 'M' cameras as an alternative, making way for the 'new reality' of higher priced R bodies. It reminds me of the government's 'Cash for Clunkers' program offering generous incentives to buy your old used vehicles. People loved that program once they got the cash in hand --- but prices for new and especially used cars took a big hike after that, and people awoke to what 'really' happened --- they ended up paying more in the long run.

Glad I snagged a refurb myself, netting three M6ii bodies over 2 years at a total price only a few hundred bucks higher than a single R7 body with nearly the same sensor and IQ.

Canon may not want cheap M options around, making people question why entry-level and APS-C R cameras are priced so high...
