I don't know how or to who that all these lenses and cameras are going to sell .......
...... the forums are filling up with reports of quite large price increases and deals are done for the moment ......

It's all very well Canon and others announcing a range of new lenses and bodies ..... but reading around the industry's financial reports we are in for quite a turn down economically...... which will take not too long to filter through to people's pockets .... and all those complete systems with lenses might sit on the shelves at their new increased prices for some time ...... 

...... without so much as mentioning the ever increasing turn down in camera/ lens sales market itself.

   I won't be buying anything until the market has settled to a stable level ........ and probably not even then ....... given the sheer amount of S/H gear suddenly flooding the market ...... which btw isn't selling!

In a shrinking market, I am sure Canon's goal is to still get as big a slice of that remaining market. They of course need lenses for that, and cameras.

   They'll need customers with large pockets
