Nor I, my hands were shaking making this post. /s

Doooomed, I tell you!

No it's not. It has 24p!!!!!

No it's not. It has 24p!!!!!

It might have 24p mode, becuase with its old 24mpx sensor tech, Canon is not able to get 30fps

Wait... did they remove the mic jack?

Well... not add it.

Well... not add it.

In the target audience of this camera, there’s approximately a negative percentage of people who want or need a mic jack.

Amazing they managed to do 120fps, just they forgot to add it to the eos r.... and they also forgot to release a pro R camera. Because they are concentrating on lenses. But not the M lenses, noooo way. People could actually buy them !

BUT...BUT.... all those vlogers who desperately wanted this camera and now will not buy it because Canon failed them again.

I'm looking forward to the Lawrence of Arabia sequel to be shot with this camera.

Considering that I let the batteries corrode in my 580EXII, that probably includes me.

Oh, I need to check the batteries I left in my 550EX....

In all seriousness, most vloggers don't use mic jacks. YouTubers much prefer a volumn bar displayed on the screen rather than presenting themselves wearing a pair of headphones.

mic jacks are useful when they have dedicated "camera man", but honestly if vlogger can afford a camera man, they probably wouldn't be using this camera.

Interesting features shown in the video. It seems like they made the camera very easy for amateurs to use and even learn about photography.

The snarky nature of many of the responses here is quite illuminating...although perhaps not in the way that the posters intended.

Clicking on the sponsor link (Adorama) reveals a $549.00 price for the 200/15-45 package.

This is an incredible value for a well-specced, almost tiny camera that, when used properly, can generate travel, family and vacation images and videos with quality far far superior to at least 95% what this summer's photographers feel are acceptable (dare I say 99%?).

550 bucks!

This is an incredible, incredible value...and Canon is going to sell thousands of these.

I check canonrumors every day, in part for the hilarity of some of the posts.

Thanks for reading.

My take is that more cameras, the better. But, what I really want to know is if this was rumored , anticipated, and or even expected. Seems out of the blue and I kind of like that. A few more of these type of bodies and everyone with a 'Make it like so' wish from Canon might just get what they are asking for.

...This is an incredible, incredible value...

Is it though? I mean, you can get a SL3 and lens for a hundred dollars more. Similar specs and it comes with a viewfinder and EF lens compatibility without an adapter. Not saying this isn't a nice little camera, just that it might not warrant two full "incredibles." Different bodies for different users I guess.
