Poll Time! Will you buy the R Locked

definately a preorder for me. Once folks start using it, I predict it will be out of stock for weeks. For most people it is better than 5div in almost every category. I consider it as an upgrade to my 5div. EVF, articulating screen, way more AF points and smaller more precise points, eye AF, compact 4k codec, excellent stereo mic (should be at least same or better than the superb M50’s mic), silent shooting mode, compatible with ef-s lenses, smaller & lighter, RF 35mm f1.8 macro IS STM - will be great for all around and general use. It is supposedly better optically than 35mm f2 IS but lighter, smaller, improved OIS, it’s macro, quiet and smooth video AF. For people, portrait, studio, travel and video shooters, EOS R is quite a bit better than 5div, IMO. It’s not best for professional use unless used a second body due to single memory card slot and shorter battery life.

I have no doubt that once the dust is settled, many will come back to Canon after trying out Sony. Canon has just demonstrated that is super serious about innovative pro lenses for the new R system. AND EF lenses have more functionality on R body than any dslr including ring control or drop-in CPL/variable ND. One can only imagine upcoming RF mount models and lenses.

Love that the shutter closes when the camera is powered down to protect sensor from dust. Canon innovates where it actually matters: optics, AF, OIS, ergonomics, awb sensors, durability. No cutting corners made in Japan production for both bodies and lenses. Iconic mount.
