In reply to POS Photo, 4 months ago

I was debating between the two and ordered the 5R. The 6 is almost perfect except the lack of a touchscreen. As someone who owned a 5N and MFT cameras, I find touch focus/shutter to be completely intuitive and much better than using dials to select focus points (on DSLR I would normally stick to center point and focus/recompose).  Although I question Sony's "2 steps forward, 1 step back" approach in downgrading the 5R's touchscreen to resistive rather than capacitive.

I suppose Sony is waiting for the 6N to reintroduce a touchscreen, which I find a shame because they seemed to get everything else right.
