Spoiler alert! We all know that is an empty box in that picture. Those fortunate enough to be early recipients now have the responsibility of providing a review for the rest of us to drool over.I'm sleeping just fine!
Some of us aren't joking about that.Lucky you. I’m losing my recall.
Look at the upside. We are still competitive until we forget down to the level of what the latest generation has learned. That will take a lot of forgetting.Some of us aren't joking about that.

It's looking like Canon made more of the 24-105 than the 200-800. Kind of unusual, given that the 24-105 is an L lens and they are normally slow on the scene.Price of a bit of sleep, apparently 4 days for the RF 24-105 f/2.8 and a backorder notice for the EF 200-800.
Yep, received notice from B&H, I receive my 24-105 f/2.8 on Monday.
Just in time for Christmas
we've heard of 2-3 people getting it here and I have heard of a couple of people getting an early 200-800... I do not think we have a statistically relevant sample to judge this onIt's looking like Canon made more of the 24-105 than the 200-800.

Of course, it's a vulgar and cheap kit - lens!It's looking like Canon made more of the 24-105 than the 200-800. Kind of unusual, given that the 24-105 is an L lens and they are normally slow on the scene.
That's quite an improvement!I expected to get mine in April 2024, but, according to the store I ordered from, I might get my RF 24-105 f2,8 within the next 3 days!
Yoohoo!
Maybe for the R1Of course, it's a vulgar and cheap kit - lens!
The mfd of the RF 800/11 is 6m and the RF 200-800mm at 800mm is 3.3m. That is still relatively long as the mfd of the RF 100-500mm at 500mm is only 1.2m, and the RF 100-400mm 1.03m at 400mm. If you are doing only bird photography, 3.3m is OK. But, for someone like me who does close ups as well as birds during the day, the 200-800 will not be my go-to lens. But, I will probably keep it when it arrives.Got my RF 200-800 yesterday from my local dealer here in Germany. Preordered before official preordering. Spent an hour outside on kingfishers. Just my spontanous impressions as a RF 800-user for nearly two years: It is heavier, let's see how this works out in the long run, looks great, also in practice F9 is more light than F11, AF greatly improved compared to the RF 800. And what I did not expect but what really impresses me is the near focus distance.
Feels great... ;-)

Your eyes should be fine! When B&H says they shipped something, they did!Here is to hoping my eyes do not deceive me. I just now received an email from B&H, Jan 4, 2024, your order for Canon RF200-800mm has shipped! Yeah!
