I'd say Canon did great considering inflation and adding a stacked sensor with all the AF goodies.
Well we don't actually know how inflation impacted Canon here. But the R5 has a a couple of worthy competitors and they are both about $1K less. I'm locked into Canon at this point and have a R5II on order, but whether it's $1K better than it's competition, we'll see. (Not being negative -- excited to get my hands on the R5 II, just being honest -- it's no bargain).
How is this not competitive?
A1 $6500
Z9 $5500
R5II $4300
The R5II is not competing with the Z9. It's competing with the Z8 (which also just happens to be 99% of a Z9 in a smaller body). And the Z8 retails for $3,500 right now (though may go back up to $3,999 eventually, though Nikon's 'sales' tend to be for most of the year.)
