Yeah, some people might be interested to know if the predecessor is discontinued or going to discontinue very soon so they can get a cheaper mark I that they might have planned for a while. That's why I bring this up.


I guess the decision of when to discontinue is by the Canon local company - if they still see a high availability of local stock they might want to discontinue later.
