Is Canon 'clearing house' on EF mounts that will be replaced with RF mounts?

Very common for Japanese companies to name things one way for home market, give different names in other markets. Way back in the 1970s was the Nissan Fairlady Z in Japan, which was the Datsun 240Z in USA and elsewhere. Even before that the Fairlady in Japan & Australia was the Datsun 1600 roadster in the USA.

In some cases, the rebadging accompanied some feature(s) omitted for patent reasons so the 'altered' product was given a different name.

My point is that the US names are always kinda violent. Rebel, now Revolution. Why couldn't it be "Rosebud?" Rocinante?

.
The name "Revolution" is an asinine name to give a camera model. . I'm kinda embarrassed to be using Canon gear if they use such a stupid-sounding name for one of their cameras.

.


"Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"They're", "their", and "there" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"Fare" and "fair" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one. The proper expression is "moot point", NOT "mute point".

Well then ignore what the Canon marketing bozos have called it, and rename the Canon Reichner!
