They’re chasing the market and plugging holes here. Typical corporate executive thinking here… what’s selling, update that… what are others doing? Copy it. Very conservative moves. Consolidating the RP and R? Another conservative move. Rightly too. Market is contracting still, despite Canons recent earnings, they have to play the long game here. Boring Canon, I know.

This should be more competitive though. May be an updated version if the R sensor like the R10 was. Full readout 4K, updated AF and RAW NR are no joke, even if IBIS isn’t onboard. If you have IS in the lens, you don’t need/want IBIS anyways.

All the small zooms and a lot of compact primes come with ILIS. The f/1.2 primes are in another segment. Canon doesn't care about (third party) EF glass. So what's the point, adding IBIS for the RF 16&50mm stm thingies?
