Myself, I really like the R (am terribly disappointed that Canon did not incorporate IBIS, though), but feel it's priced too high compared to the competition. So, most likely, I'm going to wait for a refurb deal in the future like I did with the 6D2, and, barring that, maybe switch systems when I upgrade next (but I'm thinking I won't).

This raises the question, then, that if I have the 6D2, which is relatively new, and is a camera I like a lot, why upgrade again so soon? Well, that's 'cause the R has a lot of things I really like and could put to good use -- if it weren't for the lack of IBIS, I'd get it now. But, yes, of course, staying with the 6D2 for a while is the prudent course (I kept the 5D for 7 years and the 6D for 5 years, so that might be how it goes this round).

Anyway, I'm curious what others are thinking, so...

I bought 2 sets of books cheap on ebay.

Life Library of Photography and Kodak Library of Creative Photography.

Reading these is really making me think the boss is right.

I don't need a new camera. I need to quit blaming gear and learn to see.
