Originally posted by gatorguy That's not the best of news, but not totally unexpected. Canon is reportedly delaying a planned camera release for similar supply issues (also intended for reveal at CP+).
After 50 years as a dedicated Pentax user, I switched from Pentax to Canon-RF in July 2020, just after I heard about them.
I ordered lots of stuff.
I was hopping mad that my pre-ordered R5 took MONTHS to arrive.
So did my 100-500mm lens.
And my 1.4x and 2x extenders,
But I had them all well before the end of 2020.
I'm still waiting for a battery grip for my R5.
(My R battery grip came quickly)
And I'm waiting for a lens-hood for one of my 8 RF lenses.
(Most of my 8 Canon RF lenses arrived quickly. As did a 3rd-party TTArtisans RF FishEye lens).
This is how I see current problems with Canon supply. It can sometimes take MONTHS for products to arrive.
But not YEARS!
