I'm not surprised. All of the manufacturers want to sell their new mirrorless bodies and lenses.
I made the prediction several years ago when I bought an Olympus Pen mirrorless camera. Such a small camera with interchangeable lenses was something new and exciting to me. When I compared the weight of my dSLR cameras and lenses to the Olympus camera and lenses thoughts about the potential slow down in producing dSLR bodies came to my mind. Time has proven me right.
I bet Nikon will have to consider what to do with their dSLR bodies.

There was no question on this matter.
All that people wanted was a confirmation of the obvious.
Like the end of the F-1, EOS 1V now the EOS 1DX MIII.
When Canon see technology has reached its high standards for a professional camera they then drop the previous version. No clinging to the F-1 film or the EOS 1V film past expiration. Once AF was mature enough the EOS 1 came out and was a total game changer with nearly all pros going to the EOS system. Same with the EOS 1D series that kept Canon the pro choice.
Canon now has seen technology reach a true pro level you will see the EOS R1.
Interesting to see what it holds with teases of the R5 and R3 3rd and 2nd tier cameras as Canon usually does to refine the technology.
Our Canon expert from Chicago said pretty much the same thing a few days ago. It's pretty had to find a new car that starts with a crank, too.
Unlike entropy, camera technology gets more and more complex as time goes by.
