Pricing for the new PowerShot G series cameras and new RF 24-240mm f/4-6.3 IS have leaked
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
Over the last year or so, Canon seems to have instant rebates live as soon as a product is announced. I wouldn't be surprised to see the RP/24-240 kit to hit $1999 quickly.

Both the G5X II and G7X III are priced a little too high given the competition.

That's a bit more than expensive than I was expecting for the 24-240, but I don't think it's unreasonable.
I always figured Canon over-priced launch so they can use instant rebates/etc. to insulate against currency fluctuations for a while. I remember in Canada when a series of lenses' base prices were increased because the Canadian dollar fell (~2016) - it happened quietly, but was not well received by those that noticed. Actually, when I heard the rumour I went out and picked up a 70-200 f/2.8L ii at the previous base price. Sure enough I saved a few hundred dollars on that purchase because of the heads up! Thanks again for that!

Really? MSRP for G5X II (USD 899) is 25% below current Sony RX 100 VI street price (USD 1198 B&H) and on par with current Pana LX100 II street price (USD 897 B&H) ...
While lower would of course be welcome I do find all 3 MSRP prices "rather sensible". Canon will also have left some room for cash backs .

I’ll wait for reviews of the RF 24-240, but if the IQ is good, it will make a great travel lens (and one that I’ll buy).

Definitely wouldn’t put the G5X II on par with the RX100 VI, more like the RX100 IV.

The RP and the 24-240 will be a hot selling combination. As an all in one, low (relative) cost , single lens, travel setup..... nothing else comes close!

why?
yes. Especially when it comes as kit and with special discounts or cash back. And it will also get price for lens in white box down to 599 pretty soon.

2000usd is psychological limit, that's why I said that. Maybe price is right, I don't know without seeing performance of the lens.

No they aren't...
Even at the usual $1 to £1 Real World exchange rate, I'm surprised by how doable those prices are.
