Heck, I can’t figure out why anyone would use a camera strap at all.

No problem, as long as I - a strap user - know why. 😉

You need to liberate yourself

Oh, I have no problem with that. But I see no need to liberate my cameras. I like to have straps on my cameras when I walk around with two cameras - one on each shoulder - or swap lenses when standing/walking.

I don’t know about you guys, but I happen to like the fact that my camera is not liberated from my body when I’m out and about!

Re: "... received more orders than anticipated..."

Seems you are unaware about the massive global supplychain issues. I am sure Canon would love to sell much, much more.

This argument makes no sense given that the 2 new lenses launched are budget lenses.  Yeah canon is trying really hard to keep that artificial low supply so they can sell a $299 prime lens at $299.

I said this last year when R5 and R6 were in short supply, and I’ll say it again. Given Canon’s financial performance over the last couple of years, and the stiff competition they’re facing, they need to play the hard-to-get game now like they need a bullet through their abdomen. They’re making this announcement because they have no choice, not because they expect to get people to pay more for what little they can send to the market.
