The Nikon looks good. They are well behind Canon in lenses for the new mount, though...

They're f/1.8 primes look mighty good!

There is more to lens quality than F stops and focal lengths..., so you may be right. The RF lenses just look more interesting. All of the Nikon lenses could have been made for the old mont, unless I'm missing something. The Canon lenses take advantage of the new mount.

Agreed.

...as they are in DSLR ultra wide lenses. Wider is better.

Wide is better still with lots of pixels. Thus, the Z7.

I like more pixels. I don't need more than I have that often, but better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. I like big prints and I like to crop heavily in some cases, particularly when I don't want to a wider lens in the middle of a shoot.

A 5Dsr equivalent is probably in the near future for the R lineup.

Maybe the R will drop to $1899 and the R2 (5DsRII) will be $2499?
