Specs
If they would drop the price to $4000, this would be very tempting. I want it, but considering a Z8 is coming soon with likely very similar specs, which must be at least 1K less than the Z9, this camera only makes sense for professionals getting paid for sporting events at the moment. Yes, that is the intended market, but surely Canon would like to capture a more wide spread market. More realistically I imagine this will drop to $5300 very soon (before Z8 roll out), then 6 months after the Z8 when sales of the R3 drop to nearly 0, it will come down appropriately. I know canon has been very busy ensuring chip supply is met.. so it will be interesting to see what the lowest price they are comfortable with is.
Currently, we have received orders for each of the following products in excess of expectations, and due to the impact of global parts supply, delivery delays are occurring. We apologize for the inconvenience caused to our customers and business partners.
The products are scheduled to be shipped one by one, but it is expected that it will take a lot of time for the new camera body EOS R3 and RF lens RF14-35mm F4 L IS USM.
Affected Products
- Canon EOS R3
- Canon RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM
It will be shipped in sequence, but it may take more than half a year to deliver when you place a new order.
@VK "The Canon EOS R3 is not the flagship camera in the EOS R lineup"
They probably should have withheld that statement since they now have a non flagship for $6000 competing against a Nikon flagship for $5500 = D
CANON EOS R3 WALKTHROUGH AND SETUP TUTORIAL
The Canon EOS R3 is not the flagship camera in the EOS R lineup:
Canon EOS R3 brochure
Photo camera form factor is bad for video, until you have heatsink and fan ala S1H.
Instead of a time limit for video the new thing is to just have it overheat.

I still don't get the price... is it the snake eye detection?
