Hmm not true. It could also be that every cheap lens* is also a body sale. It works both ways.

I am not so sure about that. People generally buy more lenses than bodies, and good lenses can cost more than the bodies they are on.

Something else to think about over the past year Canon has come out with very good low cost RF lens's**. I think that Canon has this very well planed.

Totally agree on this point! Canon is not going to let anyone poach this time around.

** rf 24-105 stm, RF24-240 and awesome RF 100-400
