The '£' symbol does exist for when referring to UK prices, which do by the way already have the VAT factored in.

Isn't it a $1500 tool? That's "near $2000" to the same degree that it's also "near $1000". It's decently equipped for a camera that's "near $1000"! Will X-H2 cutting edge specs make me into Spielberg? 😄

Yeah I don't get people complaining about the prices of the non-L RF lenses. Most seem to have added some extra features over the closest EF predecessors while keeping the prices reasonable, especially when compared to the original launch prices of those EF lenses.

Hello! What do you mean "cut from this camera"?. The R8 is the RP Mk II, but renamed to fit in with the rest of the lineup. Canon have upgraded the sensor and image processor to give it the latest AF and features, switched to the new MF hotshoe, and slightly rejigged the exterior and switches. Seems like a decent upgrade to me.
