Can’t say that I mind, though. As a left eye-shooter, an eye-piece that is more offset to the body means a less scrunched up nose 😉

Probably to allow some extra clearance for a thumb to operate touch AF.

Good point. Wasn’t thinking - ahem - past my own nose at first...

I like that it projects further.

Me too.

Also it makes the camera look bigger in the comparison tool. If you line up the backs of the camera, you can see how much thinner the body of the R is.

Exactly!  The R is looking "bigger" because of its eyepiece, but that eyepiece sticking out so much is a great feature — a more functional design.
