So - How much would you be prepared to pay...?

Thank you all for your explanations. I do agree that a used camera is a better value proposition. That is why all my cameras are used or demos from reliable stores.

At the moment I suffer from GAS. I want a medium format camera, but investing in another system (next to E-mount, A-mount, EF-mount, RF-mount) is just stupid. So, I am looking at an outlet Sony A7rIV (there is one in a reliable store I am eying) - but still expensive. And then I think, I need to go out and take pictures with my FE 16-35/4 and Samyang 45/1.8.

Back on topic. Like I said, the Canon EOS R is nice. The R5 is a headline grabber camera, the R6 probably is the real deal. But if the R5 is around €/£/$5000-6000 how much will the R6 be? If it is the 6D replacement, it should be around €/£/$2000 - but then there is a huge gap in price between the R5 and R6. Basically, I have no clue

But something different: is Canon going Leica? They have the M-mount, like Leica. They will have the R5 and R6, like Leica. They ask insanely expensive prices, like Leica.

+1

Guess for me that would be "more than what I was comfortable with" as I bought a new A99ii here downunder last year.
No other options for A-mount in Australia and doing the maths it was less expensive going A99ii than changing mount...buggered if I know what I'll do when the time comes in the future and either camera or most used lenses dies?

Looking at how A-mount gear sells on Ebay here downunder right now I might aswell donate it to the Salvo's!
It's either stupidly overpriced (like a $900 A55 kit) or just not moving at all even at good prices (like Joe's SAL 70-200 2.8G).
If that 70-200 2.8 still is around come tax return time there's a chance I'll snap it up...unless the CFO nixes it
