None Of The Above

I will probably not buy an R, but the lack of a mirror is not the problem. I do not insist upon a DSLR system. It is, instead, the lack of other important features. First, the removal of the toggle/joystick, and requiring me to use a “laggy” touchscreen, to move the AF point, is a serious problem.

The second big problem is that the R seems to have no capability to allow an external Speedlite to project an AF-assist beam, for low-light AF. The R is not yet ready to play in the deep (dark) end of the pool.

I wore a police badge and pistol, and made evidentiary images at night, incorporating elements of portrait, macro, still life, landscape, architecture, and PJ. (Retired January 2018.) I enjoy using Canon and Nikon gear.
