All of them! Biggest Canon news in a decade (or right up there in the top 2 or 3), and very significant industry news. I'm enjoying it while it lasts, with Olympus having an uncertain future, and...

Same. Could see buying this with the 800mm and just using my other lenses adapted.

I'm almost more excited about this than the R5, especially once it drops under $2k. Mini sport/wildlife monster?

Really excited to see samples, and the cost is so low! Wow!

Looks great, but was disappointed to see the extending lens barrel. I'd still buy it, though. Love 85mm.

For those complaining about price - remember the 6D2 was $2000 when it was released in 2017. It quickly dropped in price by 25-40%. Yes, it was stupid over-priced, but still.

I paid $2000 for my...

I still have a job and photography is one of the few things I can still enjoy in life right now - grab my camera and go for a walk in the woods. I can see picking up an R6 and the 600 or 800mm...

Mode dial where it used to be, with power switch under it (where it used to be) and room for a display.

For the size, weight, price, ability to give you f/2.8 at the wide end, this would be very easy to justify. Think of it another way it would make your a7 feel more like an APS-C camera if you were...

Agree something like you explained would be great.  However, it seems once you breach the 100mm front element (600/5.6 would be roughly 110mm) the costs spiral for the branded lenses.  500mm f/5.6 ...

100% with you on this. I'd love smaller pro primes (like 24mm f/2.8, 35mm f/2, 85mm f/2) that were very good optically, weather-sealed, etc.

We already sort of have some of these 'lite' pro...

Either a 500mm f/5.6, or 600mm f/8.  Does not have to be an L lens, use DO, etc. - just give the hobbyists who can't quick swing the cost (or weight) of one of the big boys.

Why not both? I have an iPhone 11 Pro which I bought because of the camera, and love it. I also have $10k in Canon FF DSLR gear, and I love it. There is room for both, I cannot see being without...

Sad. Too bad they couldn't just fold in with Panasonic.

Worried about who falls next. Only lucky thing would be if we got 'mergers of equals' vs. outright closures.

I'm just asking for what is on offer, what option? Wildcard...what if the 600mm is actually f/8 and the 800mm is the f/11?  The math is nearly identical (73 vs. 75) if you divide the two numbers.  ...

Assume the prices will be similar (as in, price if you could afford one, you could afford the other). All else being equal, which one would you pick? My initial reaction was the 600mm, but I ...

Obviously pricing will be a big part of it!

Nikon nailed it with the 500mm f/5.6, and I wish that lens existed for Canon (maybe in the future!).  Or a lower-cost 400mm f/4 that was designed to work flawlessly with the 1.4x teleconverter.  ...

Trying to find the balance between giving them some color, pop, but not getting crazy with the color sliders.  I was heavily pushing shadows of the birds, but not for a 'look' but so you could see ...

Trying for a less-is-more approach. Doing the basics needed for a RAW image, but not going crazy. All with a Canon 5D4, 100-400mm (new one), and Lightroom. Pictures I took the past week while ...
